Besides, these volunteers do not
seem to remember that, when they get
in those higher regions which the bal
loon must necessarily travese, in order
to get the benefit of the great air riv-
er, they reach place where the cold
is so intense and constant that the
chilliest days of winter are as nothing
to it. Here, too, it is always blowing
a steady gale of about five hundred
miles an hour, an irresistible torrent
which will sweep the balloon before
it no one knows whittier. 1t may be
borne into some airy maelstrom that
lies far away beyond the uttermost
stars. 1t may be hurried beyond the
bounds of space and wrecked on the
shores of unknown worlds, whence the
newspaper representatives could see
the sun that lights us shining as a
mere point in the infinite distance.
Let these young men reflect how they
will feel when they are up aloft, wild
winds screaming and bowling through
the cordage of the balloon, they them
selves lashed tightly to the car to keep
from being blown out, the thermome-
ter sinking lower and lower until the
air itself becomes glittering crystals
which sting their faces and their life
blood running more and more slug
gishly. Their frozen hands cannot pull
the ropes to dicarge the gas. The in
tense frost does its work and with eyes
frozen in CLASSY stare, they sit in an
eternal sleep. The balloon, with this
remarkable cargo, might go floating
along for years, the Flying Dutchman
of the upper world, warning to all
who carry curiosity beyond natural
bounds, and at last, in the slow course Of
time, it would descend somewhere, and
the people gathering around would see
these frozen men, sitting in circle,
clothed in the garments of other days,
with gaunt and obsolete instruments
and utensils around them.
1t must be remembered that these
people are not going to travel in q
Pullman dining car. They have nc
stoves, for fire is dangerous thing in
the windy ways they are to traverse
Their coffee is warmed only by the
heat generated by Stacking time. They
cannot even smoke. They cannot ex
ercise. They have to sit wrapped il
overcoats with gloves on, and cannot
play cards. They can only talk will
chattering teeth and blue lips, anc
sigh for land and wish they had no
come. Is it, then, worth while to ex
pose ones self to all these discomfort'
and perils for the sake of O little
money, and little temporary reputa
ton? And if they die, ON the sea oil
shore, there will merely be a para
graph in the papers that the severa
idiots, names given in full, who under
took to go to Europe in a balloon
died, as might have been expected
"The sacrifice of so many lives nigh
be mourned if their misfortune die
not deter better men from following
their example"

A Nelson street dry goods man,who
is well known for his politeness, has
father who is an excellent citizen, but
not very smooth talker. They were
so busy at the store Saturday afternoon
that the old gentleman was called in
to help. Among the customers was
young lady who appeared to be wait
ing to trade with him whose elderly
appearance invited her confidence.
Soon an opportunity afforded, and
leaning over the counter as az invita-
ton for him to do the same, she whis-
pered her order. He bent closer to
her, and said, "What's that p in
voice that started the perspiration to
her forehead. Again she whispered.
30, elastic !" said he in tone that
could be heard on the walk, and look
ing much pleased with his success.
"What kind of elastic?" he added,
bending his head closer to the burning
face of the perspiring maiden. Once
more she tremblingly whispered. "For
garters, hey?" he repeated, even loud
er than before, without noticing the
horror-struck expression Of the almost
fainting young lady, Something fan
cy, ! suppose" he went on to say, in
happy oblivion of the store full of
people; young people nowadays
want things nice. Ny old woman uses
a shoe string, and sails around with
out noticing the difference. Then he
got down with the box, and turned
around to show it, but the customer
was gone. He stood around with the
elastic some FIVE minutes in waiting
but she did not return, and it is likely
he has forgotten all about the circum-
stances now.
A solicitor who had recently beer
engaged by a prominent life insurance
firm, returned to the office of his EN-
ployers the other day, and complained
that he had been snubbed by gentle
man on whom he had called. "Snub

10 tho Editor of The Chtcago 1riaesne:
G11:: In your issue Of yesterday noticed an
artic, tn re1ation to tho future OF Chicago as an
iron-manufactluing centro. Although not claim-
ing citizenship in your city, have ut times
given the subject Of manufacturing hero consld-
orable thought, and will now say that consider
South Chicago, and especially that portion known
Us Calumet, as possessing superior advantages
for the location Of iron furnaces. The compar-
atiyeIY short distance from South Chicago to tho
eonl-felda Of Eastorn Illinois and Western lnd1-
ana giyos it superior advantages for obtaining
cheap fuel for smelling purposos, while it's nd
