BALLOONS FOR NAVAL. PUR.
DOCEC

ooLo.
Some experiments have been lately
conducted by the French navy which
will have an important influence on
the future use of the balloon in time
ofwar. A balloon was constructed
with capacity of 1850 feet, espe-
cially for experimental purposes.
1t was inflated with hydrogen, which
was carried in reservoirs under a
pressure Of 100 atmospheres. V tail
rope $50 feet long served to connect
the balloon with ship of the fleet
when the balloon was required to be
kept captive for accommodating pur
poses. 1t was found that on a clear
day all important objects within a
radius of eighteen to twenty-four mi
les were clearly distinguished. An
other very important point was that
the waters of the sea, when observed
from a considerable altitude, were
found to be singularly clear, and the
details of the bottom were in one of
the ascents perfectly distinguishable,
even at depth of eighty feet.
This peculiarly allowed an obser-
yer in the balloon to follow the move
ments of the Submarine boat Gymnote,
during its recent trials, withoutlosing
sight of it for a single moment, what
ever its depth of immersion. The
balloon used on this occasion was
very stoutly constructed, having been
a short time before towed at speed
of 1917 knots an hour for a distance
of Il knots by torpedo boat with
out being any the worse.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

western Oregon and Washington it is
difficult TO draw the lines that divide
tive seasons. writes Senator Dolph in

season, but there are often long
periods of perfect weather in February
and March. Flowers frequently bloom

during the winter few inches of snow
falls. but it disappears rapidly. At
intervals of several years occurs a
winter with ten days or two
weeks of freezing weather aud a con-
siderable fall of snow. The summers
are cool and excessive heat is un-
known. In eastern Oregon and WASH
lngton the climate is different. The
dry season of summer is more pro-
tracted. the rainfall is less. and the
heat is greater. though il is never ex-
eeSsive. The winters are colder. but

IT Is LOW determined that the dyna- hitter who was blown up in the attempt to kill Russell Sage Is Henry L. Norcross, of Somersville, Mass. A button bearing the name of Boston tailor and frag- ment bearing the number of the suit was the first clue got. The Boston firms books show that the suit was made for Nor cross. His parents identify fragments of his undergarments, his mother finding bits of her own mending. Norcross was 28 years old, unmarried, broker, and had his head full of plan for elevated railroads in cities. He was disappointed that no capitalist would help him. He was known to be experimenting in ex- plosive chemicals. He left home just be- fore the New York tragedy, and has nev- CT been seen since, unless the mangled body taken from the ruins of Sage's office were his, as they probably were. Many who knew him have seen the decapitated head of the dynamiter, and all feel sure that it is the head of Norcross.
