be deceived. That there are cheats and frauds in plenty everybody knows; but it is seldom or never that any large business house is guilty of them, no matter what line of trade it follows. There can be no permanent success of any kind based on dishonesty or deception. There nover was, and never will be. The men who try that are simply fools and soon come to grief as they deserve. Now many persons are, nevertheless, afraid to buy certain BUILDINGS," advertised articles last they be humbugged and deluded especially are they slow to place Des Voeux Road.

3,000 PEOPLE, WITNESS AN AERONAUT'S DEATH.
New York, Wednesday, July 19. A terrible accident occurred yesterday at San Jose, California, during the trials of the aero- plane invented by Professor Montgomery of the Santa Clara Catholic College.
The aeroplane was built on the lines ofa bird's wings, and the aeronaut, Mr. Maloney,- has been making ascents in it since March last. The machine responded to every wish of the aeronaut, going higher, lower, or in any direc tion desired.
Professor Montgomery, Mr. Maloney, and others felt that at last the problem of aerial navigation was solved.

FROM MIDDLESBOROUGH, LONDON
AND STRAITS.
An ascent was made yesterday in the presence THE Steamship of two thousand spectators, including a lar e Dember of Catholic priests. As usual, the acroplane with the ait of a balloon was carried up to a height of four thousand feet. Mt. Maloney then cut the balloon loose and began to circle gracefully about, showing the absolute dirigibility of the machine.
At a moment when the enthusiasm of the spectators had reached its zenith Mr. Maloney began his descent.
As he reached the height of 3,030 feet on his Homeward flight, one of the rear wings of the acorplane gave way, and the machine turned
over three times.
Mr. Maloney tried desperately to regain con- trol of it, and the onlookers stood terror-stricken as he finally lost his hold and the machine plunged straight to earth.
Father Bell, a professor of physics, raised hiz band upward and made the sign of absolution as he fell. The unfortunate aeronaut was pick- ed up mangled and unconscious, and very soon expired.
Professor Montgomery was much affected at the accident which he attributes to the fouling of the guy ropes on the rear wings, as the front pir were in good order even alter the fall.
"NAUSEATED WITH GOLD."
"The world is not going to be saturated with gold, it is going to be nauseated." This 146 startling announcement occurs in a paper on "Gold Ships and their Cargoes," which Alexander Del Mar contributes to the En- gineering Magazine. The writer prophesies that as ten years ago the world's annual yield of gold was half a million dollars per diem and to-day it is a million, within the next ten years it will be two millions. This is to be the result of the new, machine. #te observes that gald is the most widely diffused of all the
