TO CROSS THE OCEAN IN TIE SKY.


A Balloon without Passengers soon "a
he Started On Transatlantic Trip.
To cross the Atlantic is the enterpris.
ing mission upon which a balloon will
start from Germantown. The balloon
will not carry any passengers, but 1t Ia
intended to pilot the way for a monster
airship that will carry at least two voy.
ayers. The inventor of this new airship
is Charles p. Fest, of 4, $50 Lena street,
Germantown.
Mr. Fest has been working on the
problem of aerial navigation for the
past fifty years, and is now convinced
that he has solved it. He is an emf
nently practical business man and works
at his invention at odd hours. He has
tried every scheme eff aerial navigation
that has been suggested In the past dec
ade and a half, and has reached the
conclusion that all schemes of propul-
sion by machinery are impracticable.
The air currents, in his opinion, form
the only motive power that can be re-
lied on. The balloaa. which Mr.. Fest
has now projected is on the old princi-
pie of the hot air ship.
The experimental machine that will
be started across the Atlantic is CON-
pleted, and is an exact model of the
larger one that is expected to later carry
over the inventor. The hot gas that
will initiate the bag will be generated
from gasoline, which is chosen on &C.
count OF it's enormous volatile proper
lions and great lifting power.
In the completed machine the gaso-
line will be carried in rectangular tin
can, holding exactly ten gallons. A
small tube runs from the can to an up
right brass pipe, about inches in d.
ameter and about feet long. This
pipe is lined within and without with
asbestos. 1t passes up into the gas bag,
while the tin receptacle remains below.
The gasoline is ignited at the tube that
passes into the pipe near the bottom,
and the flame shoots up the pipe to the
top, where it is arrested by cap.
The bag is made of preparation of
paper, and is rugged SO that it cannot
sway and come in contact with the
flame. This flame will be constant,
and experience shows that the ten gal
Ions will last just forty hours, or ten
hours longer, according to Mr. TESTS
calculations, than will be necessary to
carry the airship across the Atlantic.
Mr.. Fest believes that the balloon will
make the passage in thirty hours

The Perfection Of Dress Fitting.

Dresslnaking has become a work of
art, and only the true artists can model
the figure as it must now appear. The
bust must be fitted as for a statue, the
lines and curving from the chest de-
mands individual study, and not a
wrinkle must appear over the short
shoulders. The back Oh, the back
is the bette noir of the CUTTER filter and
wearer. A small defect may pass in
the front bodice, but the back must be
perfection. It must be narrow across
the shoulders and mold the hips as If
it were cast of plaster of paris.
All this must be done with fewer
seams to the bodice. The sleeves are
quite loose at the top, set in with puff
resting just SO many inches over the
shoulder, according to the height and
width of the wearer, and the neck may
be finished high or low, or worn with
out any band if the taste and style of
the wearer so demands
The Medici collar is in favor with
those ladies who have long necks, but
it must be admitted that they are warm
for summer. Nothing tells the story
of a homemade dress more plainly than
the high collar. This part of the dress
requires skilled artist to make it
success.
The same precision must be carried
to the skirts. They fit the hips as
tightly as the bodice does the waist.
The length must not differ quarter of
an inch from the required touching
length, front and sides, while few
inches extra may be allowed for the
slight dip" at the back. To procure
a plastic fit Paris dressnakers have cut
the skirt. on the bias The linas of
striped goods are made to meet in
points in the front, and they must Join
perfectly in the widths, for there being
no gathers or plaits the stripes show as
on the back of bodice. Such are the
umbrella skirts and only the skilled
hand can cut them.-New York World.

The Cap, the Brakeman and the Quarter.

The Cap, the Brakeman and the Quarter.
While a down town Sixth avenue
train was standing at the Eighth street
station small boy dropped his cap
out of car window. The cap rested
upon the ties fully six feet beyond his
reach, but he was half way out of the
window after it before his mother aud
aunt discovered him and dragged him
back.
II must get out for it," said his
mother
mo, l must" said his aunt.
"Well, one of us must" said both to-
gether, as they rushed for the platform.
But the train started and the iron gates
closed with bang. Just then the
brakeman caught sight of the cap and
the bareheaded boy at the same time
He had yanked the bell rope, jumped
down between two trains and rescued
the cap before the two women could
realize what he was about. When they
had recovered from their astonishment
the boy was sent to the brakeman with
silver quarter.
He won't take it, )" said the boy.
He must take it" said the aunt.
And he did, to the evident satisfaction
of the aunt and the amusement of the
passengcrs.-New York Recorder.
