Peril in the Air.

Il shall never forget my experience at Terre

bartholomew to a reporter of the Detroit Free
Press. "A number of outsiders held the ropes
OF the balloon while 1t was being inflated and
one of the men amused himself by tying a big
knot in his guy. did not realize the danger
from that knot until it came near being the
cause OF my death. My ascent was unusually
high on that day. and it was the means of saw
ing my life. straddled the bar of my para
chute and launched myself off. felt the cord

the latter turned up and began discharging the

All that the United States has to do to
bring Canada to her knees in twenty-four
hours is to refuse the western provinces &C
cess to the Atlantic by American ports and
thus cause the worst panic the dominion
has ever experienced. That is what w. ].
Silver. one of the city's most prominent
merchants, said to the Halifax Board of
Trade at a meeting called to protest against
the withdrawal from that port of the weekly
mail steamers Of the Allan and Dominion
lines. For the first season in fifty years
Halifax is to be without regular mail service
with England. Consequently the entire
Canadian mails for Europe now pass
through New York. Strong resolutions
were adopted asking the government to
subsidize seventeen-knot service from ex-
clusively Canadian ports to Great Britain.
Until that little matter is arranged Canada
would do well to be very civil in her inter-
course with this country.

Monarchs are frequently very poor speci =
mems of men. Only think of any two sane
men embroiling two great nations and inn
periling the lives and homes of millions of
people as the emperors of Russia and Ger
many now contemplate doing merely be-
cause one is offended at some trivial thing
that the other said. Two petuIant school,
boys could not do as badly as that because
their petty outbreaks of temper could only
be vented upon themselves. Moreover their
callow youth and lack Of experience and the
reasoning intelligence that is usually sup
posed to be the product of accumulated
years exempts them from any severe blame
for their folly. But what can be said for a
ruler of great nation in such preposter-
GUS poCitiona Really he seems fit subject
for the active application of a robust
metallic ruler
