AN AERONAUT DROWNED.
He Fell Into the Adriatic and Disappears
LII,

he tell into the Aur1attC and Disappeared
From Sight.
Balloon accidents, some Of them resulting
in loss of life, have recently been reported
from various parts Of Europe; In fact, such
accidents seem to be becoming quite COM
mon, and tend to indicate that the passion
for aerial experiments is increasing to an
farming extent. The latest aerial disaster
is reported from Macerata, capital of the
Italian provence of the same Eame, about
twenty miles south of Ancona. Macerata is
situated on an eminence above the PoteIza,
small river emptying into the Adriatic,
and is situated midway between the Apep
mines and the sea. 1t will thus be seen
that Macerata was conveniently situated
for balloon ascensions, and its neighbor-
hood afforded good sightseeing spots for
the peasantry and others of the neighbor-
hood who gathered in large numbers yester-
day 10 witness the exploits OF daring bal
loonst who had acquired fame by frequent
previous successful ascents.
All went well at the commencement of
the exhibition; the balloon assembled amid
much applause and enthusiasm and swept
grandly toward the blue waters OF the Adri
attic. ltwas not the intention of the aeronaut
to be carried out TO sea, so he attempted to
descend and was seen to be vigorously pull
Ing at the exhaust or safety valve. The
rope of the latter however. did not seem to
work properly, and the balloon and its occu-
pant were slowly but steadily carried out
ward. Finally the balloon was seen hover
Ing over the Adrlatic and cry of horror
arose from the crowds who had followed
the course Of the balloon when the aero
naut was suddenly seen to fall headlong
from the car. and, after whirling over and
over two or three times in the air, he fell
into the sea and was drowned before some
hshermen, who put out to rescue him, had
time to reach the unfortunate man. The
balloon. relieved of its human ballast, shot
upward into the clouds and was eventually
lost to view.-Rome special to Globe-Demp-

"GIYE YE THEM TO EAT"
The Interesting Lesson Discussed Yester
day in MIS-. Cooper,s BibIe- Class.

The Interesting Lesson Discussed Yester-
day in Mrs. Cooper's Bible Glass.
A very large number of ladies and gen.
tlemen discussed the lesson on the feeding
of the five thousand in Mrs. Cooper's Bible
class yesterday. 1t was argued that Christs
compassion takes in our physical as well as
our spiritual needs. at is comforting to
feel" said the teacher, that Christ is equal
to every emergency. When he said: Come
unto me, all We that labor and are heavy
laden, and l Will give you rest He meant
just what he said. The trouble is we do
not 60 10 him in our need. We do not per-
NIT him 10 take our burdens. You will no.
tice," continued Mrs. Cooper, that the
disciples said: send the multitude away,
that they may go into the villages and buy
themselves food Bow differently Jesus
spoke: Make the multitude sit down, give
ye them to eat The disciples had said once
before of the little children. Send them
away Jesus re6uked them and said, Suffer
the little children to come We are too apt
to drive the people from the church into the
villages TO buy themselves victuals.' Where
do the great thrOngs so on the Sabbath? Is
there not food for them in the churches?
What is the reason they reject it and 60
away TO buy for themselves? Is the fault
in the churches? Where are the throngs of
the Borrowing and the sad? Do we seek to
send them away to buy for themselves?
The Masters command 10 his disciples is,
Give ye them to eat
"Do we say: What have we to give?
Our stock is small! Let us not forget that
there is a giving that increaseth. thing
given with the right spirit grows with the
giving. He who tells US to divide is the
creator Of all things. If we take our
single talent and use it he can multiply it +.
He is still breaking the loayes and putting
them into our hands to distribute"
The last part of the lesson was dev oted
to the injunction: "Gather up the frag-
ments that nothing be lost. Notice, said Mrs.
Cooper" that this command came from him
who produced the abundance of supply.
He is teaching lesson of ecouomy-a lesson
of duty in regard to looking alter the frag-
ments. No lesson is more needed. There
is such a lack Of thrift such lack in the

This exercise of thOughtfuness at the be-
ginning Of life carries with it moral result,
which las in it the element of character

greatly to be deplored. The desire to live
