ETREKA SPRINGs, ARR, Nov. ~, ~
EDITOR JoURNAL:
During the twenty years I lived
in Kansas advocated n change nf
the assessment law.
For example, own house and
lot on the corner Of Elm and 10th
streets ia Salina ! have been offer
ed e., +OO for u in cash. But u il
assessed at sR0 ar one-fOur,h Its
value. 50 taxes. 81 on the sun
looks TO Eastern people as being
enormous.
10 the assessors put n cash value
on Il, say - 100. then $I.JO on the
400 would be &3R. There IL n vast
difference between Sl.:0 and 81 on
the hundred.
This one thing hurts Kansas more
than any one thing. Kansas has
better state buildings, more colleges,
churches, school houses and rail
roads than any other state In the
union of her age. Admitted into
the union only - years. Now has
. population nG 41,sOO,O10, with
more push. pluck and snap TO the
square mile than any state In the
union
Make your taxes rs they sho uld
be, tI.JO not 81 on theihundred dol
lars, and Kansas will keep In AL
vance Of all Others.

From $1,000 u sII.0OO will be
Necessary TO defray the expenses IL
an ocean voyage. III q L. asked
at are we to learn by the voyage
10 may be difficult 20 answer. U
will probably demonstrate the
movement Of storms across the
ocean, the general drift Of the at
mosphere, a. well n n vast amount
OF meteorological phenomena to I've
gathered In no other way. The
United States Signal Service Bureau
would take great interest In such q
voyage, and would be represented
by oIIe or more observers. The prin-
cipal obstacle To be overcome in
starting out on such a voyage IL tile
great expense which must neressari-
~ be Incurred in procuring tile
most perfect outfit that prudence
could suggest. But this might he
overcome when once the possibility
and benefit accTuing Il brought be-

No balloon has hitherto heen
kept afioat twenty-fOuT consecutive
hours, except GiifOrd's great captive
balloon, which was kept i'm air
while the Paris Exposition lasted.
This was because the balloon " a.
not allowed to rise To- a great altitude
but vas kept nj one height all the
time. The crest waste of gas In or
binary balloOning II caused by the
expansion which follows a rise To
great altitude, thus forcing the gas
out of the open neck. Now, ] pro-
pose to adopt the system used by
Clifford, that Of keeping at a certain
altitude. will stay down In the low
or atmosphere, about 2,OO feet high.
This will be accomplished by n drag
rope pI u similar CnntTivanre, and
propose tn lose nothing by wastage.
Another advantage we have in
the ocean balloon IL that We can use
heavy material for the envelope,
thus reducing the loss by peTcolatlun
to u minimum. In ordinary balloon

Prof. KInE VIII Try tue Voyage 90 Funds
Are RaIsrd-He Relieves % Possible and
Explains HIs Theory
Philadelphia Times: Professor :.
A. King, the aeronaut, has expressed
his willingness TO attempt a voyage
across the ocean in q balloon pTOvid-
ell the necessary funds are raised
Professor King has made 22I success =
full voyages since ISL, and feels con-
In speaking Of the project Professor
King said YESTERDAY:
my prime reason for wishing To
attempt this trip across the ocean il
to de monstrate the usefulness of the
balloon. The balloon has been mis-
understood frcm the first. Instead oG
being intended for aerial navigation
IL Is really an immense meterulpgic-
nj instrument by which We shall he
enabled To learn all that can be
learned Of the atmosphere. Besides
that. Il IL probably the one meaus of
reaching the Inaccessible parts Of
the earth, at some future period
after the full development Of iIs
powers. We have had any quantity
Of experience in ballooning in n
small way, and the main thing
which has kept it alive IL the gratifI-
cation the public has experienced in
witnessing asceusions. Viewing the
matter from my standpoint, some
thing more should be done, some
thing on q grander scale aud that
which lies nearest within reach
seems to be an ocean voyage.
al think the voyage can be sue
cessfully accomplished. Professor
Wise said that he thought the trip
could be made In three or four days,
aud rave ~ his reason the theory
that three miles above the water
there were two constant, rapid cuI-
rents Of air, one going west and one
going east. His plan was to get ia
the east current, and then the only
difficulty would be To keep the bal
loon In the air q sufficient length
Of time. Now, there IL nothing To
support this theory, aud I do not
base my offer upon ID. The general
direction Of the wind on the ocean
Is east and ] feel confident that the
balloon would reach it, final desti-
nation when once started on its way
and for q certainty Il would not
again come in view Of the American
coast.
This ocean voyage will require
more than ordinary skill and judg-
ment, and . balloon OF large proper
lions fitted up with unusual appliAn-
ces. IL will have to be capable Of
floating In the air q number Of weeks.
10 will start upon an errand, the true
nature Of which we have NO previ-
Gus knowledge. We would probably

which We can only imagine. We
would have q constant waste Of
water beneath US. into which we
may he driven by Unforeseen cir
We may be blown
north Or south out OF our course. aud
so be delayed i'm reaching
our destination. But notwith-
all this think u
can be safely accomplished. and
that the accomplishment Of this feat
will be fruitful of discoveries Of the
greatest value to science ne relates TO
10 has been suggested that the
North Pole might be reached by
balloon. This may become evident
when once the ocean n crossed, and
may possibly follow. hut until some
hing Of this nature has happened

his means.
