Ten thousand people gathered at the fair at Mansfield, Ohio, on Saturday to see the baloonascention by Prof. Charles. The buffoon was a hot air one and was held over a furaaoe by ropes in the hands of bystanders. As it shot upward the epeotatore were horrified to see Milton Redin, one of the leading young men of the county, hanging to it rope dangling from the balloon. Redin must have lost his bead, for he olutohed desperately at the rope and in a moment was over 100 feet in the air. The balloon rose rapidly and Charles could be seen attempting go draw Redin up. For ten minutes Redin clung to the small line as the balloon was whirled southward. While at the height of a thousand feet Rodin'e hold loosened and he was seen to fall. His body shot downward as from a cannon and struck the earth halt a mile sway. When found the clothes were torn off, every bone was broken and tate body was crushed out of human semblance. The experiments in the cultivation of plants under the electrical light, recently made by the botanical department of the Cornell Univereity, has given some curi- ous and interesting results, and regatta whioh are in some respects confirmatory of somewhat sielilar experiments not long ago reported from Russia. The first and most noticeable effect of the treatment is an enormously increased rate of growth. The plants which are lighted seem to work day and night, and to "ran very much to leaf. Vegetables shoot up very quickly, and peas iu a few weeks are two or three times as tall aa those planted at the same time in daylight. In the case of seede and fruit of any hind, however, the results are entirely different, and the plants which had grown slowly and by daylight were ahead. It was observed that in ovary instance the reproductive powers of the plant were strongly affect- ed, being sacrificed to mere foliage and rapidity of increase in general size. For two months etre. Maria B. Wood. worth, the evangelist, has been oouduot- iug a revival at St. Louis iu it temple sheltering nearly nine thousand people.

During the past week it has been a tightly occurrence to see from 50 to 260 men, women and children stretched flat upon their backs on the ground or on the platform, writhing in religious frenzy or in a deed stupor from exhaustion, while a thousand more excited individuate danced, shouted, cried, gang and swung their arms in the air.
