SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS.
A VAN EsfYort I O Cross the Medfter-
rauean-yoyagfng From England
fC Germany.

4 VAN E.nort to Cross the Mediter-
rauean-voyaging From England
to- Germany.
The longest balloon voyage on record
! was one undertaken in 1888, in which
the distance travelled was a little more
than 1000 miles. Three voyagers on
that occasion, says Harrison's Maya
zine made an ascent in France, with
the intention of crossing the Mediter-
ranean, and landing in Algeria. The
wind, however, proving unfavorable,
carried them toward Corsica. When
they We're near that island the balloon
descended toward the water, and for a
time their lives were i'm great jeopardy.
BY throwing all their apparatus they
succeeded in getting the balloon to rise
to a height OF between two and three
thousand feet, and, travelling on to
Italy, they safely descended in that
country at a little village near Bres-
cha. Another balloon voyage Of nearly
the same length was undertaken in No
vember, 1896. On the It'll Of that
month, Charles Green, with two friends
assembled near London In a balloon,
crossed the channel from Dover to Cal
ais, and, passing over France and Bel
GUM, found themselves next morning
over the Rhine. Proceeding further
they arrived at Viborg, where they de-
scended about s a. m, on the Sth OF
November. A recent balloon voyage OF
M. Mallet, the French aeronaut, lasted
thirty-six and a half hours and would
have been the longest on record IL he
had not landed in the middle of 1t. He
left Villette on the 23rd Of October at
6 p. m, and next morning landed at
Ottonville, in Alsace, to clear the snow
from the balloon. At the end of twenty
five minutes he started again and land
ed e Coblentz at s p. m. An hour
and a half later he landed once more in
a valley on fauna Mountains, and f.
nally on the 25th Of October, at 6 a. m.
at Walden, in Hesse. Two or three
%aeronauts have proposed to cross the
Atlantic in a balloon, but so far it has
begun and ended in talk only.

! Washington. July 9.-The intense in
! terest and wild excitement which marked
the passage of the Wilson bill by the
hcrse some months ago, and which was
then transferred in a modified and more
dignifed form to the senate, broke ont
again in the house to-day when the tariff
bill was put in conference after some live
ly debate in the house, the amendments
being disagreed to in gross and without
opportunity for separate votes en- special
schedules. Mr.. Reed took occasion to
twit the Democrats for following the
precedent set by the Republicans in the
Fifty-frst congress, q proceeding which
they had violently denounced at the
time.
Mr.. Wilson urged on the house the ne
cessity of standing steadfastly by the
two cardinal principles of the house bill
free raw material and the ad valorem
system of taxation-and of thus keeping
faith with the people who had sent them
to congress to effect this reform. He was
answered by Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Payne and
others, and then, after the adoption of
Mr.. Wilson's motion and the appoint
ment of conferees, the house adjourned.
The conferees are Messrs. Wilson of
West Virginia, McMillin of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia, Montgomery of Ken
lucky, Democrats, and Reed of Maine,
Burrows of Michigan and Payne of New
York, Republicans.

tanned a stock valued at $4,000, and
there was not a dollars worth in it at
midnight. The police made no resistance,
as the people were in dire need Of food

night roadwalkers off the Rock Island,
and have threatened to tear up the tracks
should another train try to pass the town.

Left and Right Limbs.

A London scientific journal gives the
results of measurements made with q
view to determine the relative length
and strength in the right and left
limbs. Fifty and nine-tenths per cent
,of the men measured had the right arm
stronger than the the left; 1874 per cent
had the two arms of equal strength;
and 1927 per cent had the left arm
stronger than the right. OF women,
46.9 per cent had the right arm strong
er than tine left: 24.5 per cent had the
left stronger than the right; and 2S.6
per cent had arms of equal strength.
in order to arrive ut the average
length of limbs, fifty skeletons were
measured twenty-five males and twen-
ty-fye females.) OF these t%wenty-three
had the right arm and left leg longer;
six, the left arm and right leg; and
four. the right arm and right leg. In
seventeen cases all the members were
more or less unequal in length.
