The Aerosoope resemble a giant crane of a novel and Intricate design.

Its steel construction that of the Bascule bridse. At the extremity of the long arm or the crane is a two-story car with a seatms capacity for 100 persons and standing room for 20 more. At the short end of the crane is a giant mass ot concrete, which serves as a counter-balance for the long arm ot the crane. Heneath the car are two great water tanks, which take on water or discharge It as passengers enter ot leave the car, thus always preserving the balance to a nicety. When, for example, a man weighing HiO pounds enters the car an amount of water of equal weight ts released from the tank, and when the passenger departs UiH pounds or water are automatically discharged into the tank below the car.

The car ascends without perceptible motion, ami perfect safety and a iarless ride of ten minutes is assured to passengers while enjoying this ip ot toet Into the clouds, or four feet higher than th-' Ferris wheel. Two motors control the ascent and dei-cent in conjunction with the counter-balance of the car, and when it reaches Us extreme height It begins siowtv around on the wheels at Its a magnificent view of the exposition, of San Francisco an 'l oi the city ot San Franc' aco. a pot shot at J. P. Morgan, the New York money baron, and immediate- ly we commenced to read in the; press thai "prayers are being said in the churches for his recovery." All of which would he very flood and commendable if it didn't begin with prayers for iMonJan and stop with prayers for Morgan.

We have notlm.g personal against Mr. Morgan, who may he a very de-! cent sort of a person for nil we know to the contrary, but we cannot I suppress a feeling of nausea at ihej manner in which certain rushed into the limelight by sending tl) prayers for he recovery of he man who lias money. Mr. Morgan's claim to fame is due solely to the fact that he is the son of his father and one of the richest men in the country. He has never set (he world afire by any of his personal deeds, and just why he should be singled out for special prayers when others of equal merit cannot even get a chirp is beyond our layman's comprehension.

To the man who makes a practice of analyzing things as he finds them it is rather tiresome in fact, it is someting of a reflection upon the sincerity of those preachers who pray for the rich and forget the poor. We wish Mr. Morgan well, as we do the beggar in the street, but we fear many of those prayers were aimed at the Morgan pocketbook and ascended no higher than the ceiling. His Fourth of July Letter.

If the country would make as much fuss over us as it did over Morgan we'd feel tempted to let some fool take a shot at us. This jailing of Huerta is a terrible waste of perfectly good grub. The June brides are safely launched on the sea of matrimony and the; August maids are looking forward in hopes. Even Morgan's btttler came in for his share of notoriety. But then he was Morgan's butler.

Such strange things are happening these days we may yet live to see a week or two of peace in Mexico. Are you ever thoroughly contented? If so you are only half a man. The biggest liar on earth is the fellow who says he would he satisfied if he had Rockefeller's wealth. Just as soon as old General Prosperity turns his steps our way we are going to hike right out and meet him. Sometimes a fellow asks us why we do not "publish till of the news." And if we did the first dose would be enough to start him after us with a shotgun Everybody says Old Prosperity is on the move, but darned if we can tell which way the old duffer is headed.

Every once in a while some fellow takes i Wiillop at the sharpness of woman's tongue forgetting, of course, the crookedness of his own. Notwithstanding Europe terms us a nation of money grubbers, we are pleased to note an increasing demand for both our money and our grub. All tint world admires a man when he is a man. Why condemn the other fellow's laziness? It gives you a better chance. And now the mosquito is out for gore.

China, with Iter population, solemnly admits that little Japan hits kicked and cuffed and spanked and hiituilatcd and shamed her before the whole world. But China has no army to speak of and the Jap has. And Uncle Sain is just about in the same boat with How do you like the prospect?
