settlers of Kentucky was at the time, of in

lucky, is McFADIS's old station on Green

times came out to the newly settled station,
where, when feats oflactivity were being prac-
ticsd among the pioneers, he bossted of his
skill in running, and offered to bet on out
running any one in the crowd. MoFADIS,
who was quizzical old genius, inquired
whetherhe would run barefooted or shod, and
was promptly answered "barefoot." Letme

The parties repaired to the track selected by
McFadin. 1t was perhaps the most ainty
bed in all Kentucky. At the word the
racers started. They had gone but a few yards

la Mountains Eastern Current.

Mr.. La Mountain has also published long
account of his late balloon voyage. He
claims that at the hight Of three thousand
feet the balloon struck the northeastern cur
rent, which moved at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour. 1t was of great depth, as at
the hight of three and half miles the bal
loon did not lose it, but took still more
easterly course. He thinks that at an alti-
tude of two miles and half he could have
crossed the Atlantic in thirty-six hours, and
without any more ballast than in making an
ordinary local ascension.
The balloon remained up three and half
miles only half en- hour, going almost due
east, and Mr.. La Mountain says that only
when they left this ever-reliabe stratum,
and descended into the local currents, they
were carried in a northerly course.
At sun-down the balloon descended to the
top Of the clouds, on which it foated as ship
does on water. The eronauts supposed they
were travelling due north at rs miles an hour,
and had not then journeyed more than rs
miles northward of Watertown. By keeping
up little while, the St. Lawrence would be
crossed, and landing could be made near the
line of the Grand Trunk Railroad, on the di-
rect route to Kingston, where the next aScen-
sion was to take place. Opening valve and
dropping through the pitchy ydark clouds, Mr..
La Mountain found his air-ship only some five
hundred feet obove the earth, and over dense
forest. He thought it the famous ohm Brown
tract, kept on, and finally landed in the heart
Of the great Canadian wilderness.
