AIR SHIP MISSING.
The Star Chaser is Ten Days Overdue at Tokio.
Tokio, Japan, Aug. 20, 1999.—Transoceanic air ship Star Chaser has been overdue at this port for ten days. It is feared that the ship has been caught in an upper ether current and carried many miles above her course.
As she has not dropped to earth anywhere, there is a strong probability that she has risen beyond the influence of the earth’s gravitation and been drawn into the orbit of some neighboring planet. Anxious friends of the passengers are besieging this office for tidings of the Star Chaser.
RETURNS TO BABYHOOD.
Tragic Transition of an Aged Spinster to a Drooling Infant.
Miss Imogene Elyria of No. 678,431,222 Four Hundred and Sixty-first street, took an overdose of Florida Age Regenerator this morning, and was instantly reduced to a squalling infant. Miss Elyria was a maiden lady 45 years of age, and a few days ago she sent to Florida for a bottle of the regenerator to take for her complexion and to reduce her age a few years.
She did not, unfortunately, follow the proper directions, and one of her sisters, entering her bedroom this morning, found her reduced to the age of 1 year and crying for her breakfast. She will be taken to the Oregon age-producing springs, where, it is hoped, the unfortunate lady may at least recover enough of her lost years to make her a blushing debutante.
A tragic feature of the affair is the fact that Miss Elyria was engaged to a wealthy widower, who is heart-broken at the terrible contretemps.
