—ln Denmark a campaign against rats is
being prosecuted with vigor, it was orig
inally started In Copenhagen, where the
alarming multiplication of the rats Induced
the municipal authorities to resort to a
mediaeval me' hod of freeing the communi
ty from beasts of prey. As u jtrite was
once offered for every head of a woif. so
the conscript fathers of the Danish capi
tal ongiged to pay a certain sum for each
dead rat. An official report of the statis
tics of rat slaughter has been issued every
week since 'the opening of the campaign.
In the first week the rat catchers, profes
sionals and amateurs, gave In the heads of
6,000 rats, in the second week 6,'ilC. in the
third week 6,780. The average weekly bill
of mortality among the rat population of
Copenhagen has now risen to about 10,000.
Other towns and communes followed ihe
example of the capital, and the Danes are
making a patriotic attempt to exterminate
“the petty wolf,” as Hendrik not inaptly
named the rat.

THE DONALDSON MYSTERY.
The PrepoKteron* Story of Hl* Poh
*Jl>te survival Once More Revived.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Pictures of two men struggling in the
basket car of a balloon, which have ap
peared on billboards in Chicago recently,
have recalled to the minds of the city’s
older residents one of the most mysteri
ous tragedies of Chicago’s earlier days—
one which never has been rid of the haunt
ing question: “Was it accident or crime?
The death of two, or the murder of one
and the escape of the other?”
Whichever may be the case, the claim
is made that Washington H. Donaldson,
aeronaut, has been seen alive within re
cent years. If this is true, there is ad
ded argument In support of the theory
of crime.
However, only one of the active partici
pants in the events that led directly to*
the consummation of that tragedy is
known to survive, and his name, for ob
vious reasons, is not given, since by rea
son of contradictory theories and opinions,
injustice might result to an estimable
man.
Donaldson was the most noted and dar
ing aeronaut of his day. lie had mads
numerous ascensions prior to his appear
ance in Chicago, and claimed a familiarity
with the air and its currents to which no
other balloonist had attained. He was
also an accomplished gymnast, and as a
tight-rope and trapeze performer had ex
hibited great nerve and skill. In personal
appearance he was not particularly pre
possessing, except in the matter of mus
cular development, his countenance being
dark and saturnine.
On the 14th of July. 1875, he made his
initial ascent in this city in company with
several persons, his Intention being to
make a straightaway trip of considerable
length. But he alleged that the currents
were baffling and changeable, and the bal
loon not properly inflated, in consequence
of which he returned to the starting place.
When rebuked by his manager he replied:
"Never mind. Walt until to-morrow and
I will go far enough.”
On the next day the balloon was repre
pared, fresh gas added, and everything
made ready for a long voyage; hut when
the time for the ascent arrive*!, it was
found that the buoyancy of the balloon
was seriously Impaired, ns Donaldson—
probably correctly-wdleged, by reason of
penetration of atmospheric air to the In
terior of the balloon, and the consequent
increased gravity of the gas therein.
The plan had been to have two report
ers—James Maitland and Newton S. Grim
wood—accompany him, but it was found
that the buoyancy of the balloon wo-uld
warrant the presence of but one. Accord
ingly. lots were prepared, and on the first
drawing Maitland drew the slip entitl’ng
him to go. What further occurred is
given in Maitland’s own words:
"After I had drawn the first time and
won, Grim wood claimed that he had un
derstood that the best i wo out of three
was the form of drawing to be used, and
after considerable argument I agreed that
a new r drawing should be made. Grim
wood then drew first, and, as was after
ward admitted by the man who prepared
the dots, both slips of paper had the word
‘Go* written on them.
"Late in the afternoon the balloon rose
nnd floated away to the northeast, and
wus gradually lost sight of by those on
shore, but just before the sun went dow’n
it was seen by people on board a small
craft some distance away, and it appear
ed as if the basket or car was trailing
along the surface of the water.
“The l)onr was headed toward the bal
loon w ith the intention of affording assist
ance to the aeronauts should it be needed,
but before the spot was reached the bal
loon seemed to be lightened of some con
siderable weight, for It rose rapidly and
soared away again, taking a northeasterly
course.
“The occuponts of the craft on reaching
shore reported what they had seen, and
at the moment T heard of it I turned to
in the arrangement which had ended in
Grim woods going, and said to him: 'Grim
wood will never come back.’
i ”1 felt as certain as I ever did of any
thing in my life that he had been thrown
overboard, although 1 was willing to giv*
Donaldson the benefit of the supposition
that the instinct of self-preservation was
the motive for throwing him out and thus
lightening the bill loon. Some other people
hinted at robbery as an accompanying, if
not a principal, factor in the case.
“I felt as if 1 had been delivered from a
great danger; so strongly. Indeed, that
when I learned the deceit that had been
practiced on me in the preparation of the
lots I did not feel the anger which that
knowledge otherwise would have provok
ed in me.
"That was the last seen—so far as the
public knows—of Donaldson. Grimwood's
hotly was found on the eastern shore of the
lake. In such a condition as rendered it
impossible to determine whether hu had
been the victim of robbery and violence.
| There were bruises and cuts on his per
son, but these may have been received
! by the action of the waves in throwing the
! body aguinet floating wreckage or against
J rocks.
; “But the great puzzle to me has always
been how Dona Ms on and the balloon both
jso utterly vanished from mortal ken.
So*re time afterward It was claimed that
a portion of the balloon wreckage had
been discovered in (be woods in the North
ern Peninsular of Michigan, but investiga
tion failed to verify the report. But, so
far as l onald* 3 on is concerned, there never
has been the slightest trace found of him
—at least not to my knowledge.
“The peculiar feature of the case, to the
minds of some, and the one that caused
the darkest suspicion in regard to the man
ner in which Grim wood lon hL life, was
the sudden buoyancy of the balloon when
the boat started to its assistance. From
that fact many have argued that there
was something in the car which Donald
son did not wish to be seen, and he sud
denly lightened the balloon of ballast in
order to get away from prying eyes. Oth-.

ers have suggested that the ballast which
was thrown over was Grimwood. and then,
in the minds of ail to whom the sugges
tion was made, arose the question; ‘Was
he alive or dead when that occurred?’ ”
Maitland liimseif met with a fate scarce
ly less deplorable. After a long and use
ful career in Journalism and literature, his
mind gave way. and in 1895 he died in the
Kankakee Insane Asylum. Whenever he
referred to the balloon incident he spoke
of it as a special interposition of Provi
dence In his behalf, nnd he always ex
hibited a suspicion, which he said he eoukl
not repress, that Grimwood had met with
foul play.
11l \UEIt OF THE EARTH.
Chunk* of the World That May Be
Kitten V l> ut Any Moment.
From ihe New Orleans Picayune.
When one reads or hears of come sudden
and violent alteration in the crusi of this
planet of ours one instinctively put it down
to something in the way of a volcanic
outburst. In most cases it is so. But not
always. Mother earth has many fashions
of building up what she likes and gouing
rid of what she Is ilred of.
One- hardly wonders that Indian tribes
who frequented the shore's of the Colum
bia river used to worship as the “Ail-De
vouring One” a great cliff near the Cas
cades, which for many years past has been
steadily advancing upon the river, with
the evident Intention of blotting out its
bed and forming a huge lake above. This
will inenittbly happen. The mountain,
which Is 2.000 feet high and eight miles
lon f, has proved to be moving forward
nnd downward at a rate of one to three
feel a year. The railway track which
runs along its base has lo ho constantly
altered. The reason of this ponderous
landslide is that the mountain rests on a
layer of soft sandstone, which is steadily
giving way. The village of Salnfe Foy de
Tarentalse, in Eastern France, seems
doomed lo he engulfed. The base of the
hill on which It stands .s being eaten
away by the rapid water* of the lsere.
The houses, some of them, show crack*
rivaling those of our Cheshire Northwich.
Some Jay there will be a “short, sharp
shock," and Tarentalse will no longer ex
ist.
Islands go and come so constantly that
none but the admiralty keep count of
them. Submarine volcanoes are responsi
ble for most of these disappearances, but
others are harder to account for. Metis
Island, for Instance, in the South Pacific,
bore no sign of volcanic origin about it.

Tt trss charted in 1880. Its highest point
being 150 feet. Last year it had gone—
vanished utterly without leaving a trace,
j On the .‘■•lie of another small guano island
off the coast of Southern California, recent
soundings showed fifty fathoms of water.
Tangier Island, in Chesapeake bay, was
fortified by our fleet In the war of ISI2.
It has sunk steadily, ttll now those forti
fications are under water.
The shifting sands of a great desert are
as hungry as the pitiless sea Itself. Many
of the smaller oases In the Saharn have
disappeared from sight In an hour or iwo,
burled deep by the deadly simoon.
Some 40 miles southeast of the old cl'y
of Kashgar, far out in the yellow desola
tion of the desert of Gobi, the great Swed
ish explorer. Sven Hedln, saw something
projecting from the smooth side of one of
of a house. Further Investigation shored
the long dunes. It was the wooden roof
that It was but one of thousands. A
teeming city of highly civilized Ayrans
had long existed on this spot, until the
earth bad tired of it and wiped It out.
Until Dec. 18. 1811. the eastern part of
Craighead county, Arkansas, was one of
the most beatulful and fertile stretches of
prairie Imaginable, Interspersed with
tracts of lovely woodland. Pretty rivers
ran between high clay banks, and the
Plant System.
