A THRILLING DESCENT.
Graphic Story of the Survivor of
Balloon Accident.

Graphic Story of the Survivor of a
Balloon Accident. r
BOSTON, July 5.-Delos Goldsmith,
the only survivor. of the three who as
cended in the balloon yesterday, told
the story of the trip as he lay on cot
in the hospital today. He said: when
the balloon arose in the air we
anticipated an enjoyable trip. At first
it seemed as if the balloon would take
westerly course, but a strong wind from
the west suddenly arose and swept it
toward South Boston. 1t was evident
that we were heading for the harbOr. 1t
was then that Prof. Rogers said he
would land on Thompson,s island To
fail of this, we all knew, meant to be
carried out 10 sea.
1.-THE professor seemed to realize this.
as he became trifle nervous. He
pulled the escape valve cord. but it re-
fused to work. 1t was then question
of life or death. Again and again he
shook and Quivered. Soon our position
became uncomfortable because of the
odOr of the gas. TO mitigate this the
hold on the cord was relaxed. 10 our
amaZement the valve refused to close.
Prof. Rogers kept his hand OH the rope.
Suddenly noise overhead caused
US to look up. There was small rent
in the balloon which, as the gas es-
capped, increased to yard. At first
slowly. and then like an arrow, the
balloon descended: In this awful de-.
scent it occurred to me that two carrier
pigeons were in the bottom of the car.
With one wrench | pulled the cover
from the cage, and they were free. A
moment later we struck the water. 1t
seemed as if / went ten feet below the
surface.
II knew we would have to swim, and
SO before we struck the water had
thrown my coat away. had not time
to remove my shoes, but while in the
water l lay on my back and removed
them. Then l became tangled up In
the netting. When l came up l wriggled
free and jumped from the basket. The
land seemed far away, though l am told
it was only 500 yards. All this
time l heard Prof. Rogers behind
me and l supposed that he, too, was
swimming for the shore. | felt faint
while swimming from the effects of the
gas, and if l had not been picked ND
quickly l would have given out.
Whether Prof. Rogers died from the
effects of the gas or from the fall | do
not know. He was near me all the time
until he sank in my wake"
Goldsmith is twenty-three years old.
He is fond of athletics and is an expert
yachtSman and swimmer. He is suffer
ing terribly from the nervous shock,
but will probably be able to leave the
hospital very soon.

cold water one-half pound of glue and
set in a pot on the back of the stove un-
til it has dissolved. Add cup of this
glue water to each three quarts of warm
water used to wash the paint, which
cleaning should be done with soft
WOODEN cloth. Only a small portion
should be washed at time, and it
should be wiped perfectly dry. If this
method is followed and only the glue
water is used the paint will be left in
fine condition. This glue water also
cleans oilcloth nicely and vanished
walls of passages, the glue acting like
soap in rem owing the dirt, but, unlike
soap, does not damage either paint or
varniSh.
A very old-fashioned but most effect
ual way to clean carpet is. to rub it
thoroughly with cloth dipped in one
part Of OXgall and three parts of water,
taking care not to wet the carpet more
than is absolutely necessary. Not only
will this treatment remove stains. but
it will revive color. The oxgall is, how
ever, most malodOrous stuff, and in
order to avoid the atrocious smell it is
better, if possible, to. carry on the pro-
cess in the open air. 1t takes at least
twenty-four hours to get rid of the
smell.
To restore the leather bindings of
books, wash them first very lightly and
carefully with clear warm water. in
which tiny piece of soda has been dis
solved, in order to free the leather from
grease: then wash with clear water to
remove the soda, and dry. Dissolve a
bit of gum arabic the size Of small
bean in teaspoonful of water. and beat
it up with teaspoonful of the white of
an egg. With a bit of sponge go lightly
over the leather with this CLAIR. and let
it dry. Should the CLAIR froth up OH the
leather, as it is very likely to do if there
is much tool work OH the book, dab it
until it subsidies with the palm of the
hand or with the sponge squeezed as
dry as nOSSihIe
