that today would end our adventure" Dur
ing the day we drifted slowly eastward. We
saw several vessels. Mt could not commu-
nicate with them. In tie evening all hands
joined in a dance in the moonlight on the
platform. The barometer had risen an inch
during the past twenty-four hours, show
ing that we were slowly descending prob
ably because of leakage of gas from the
balloons.
For three days we drifted about over the

Wanted, u New Coin.
ON Shoe and Leather Facts.

In these days of money discussion 1t is
pertinent to call attention to much need
ed coin. The denomination in mind Is a
9-cent piece. Modern business ingenuity
and enterprise have brought about a fine
discrimination in the matter of selling
prices and instead Of being satisfied with
fixing their profits in decimals and demi-
decimal denominations, find 1t to advantage
to make the concession of single penny
on s.. $40 or SIS sale. In values that are
less than s. II is almost as common to see
10 and 40 figures as it Is those ending with
0 and 90. In fact 9-cent piece is now as
necessary as a 10-cent piece. 1t is very
pleasant to our feelings and desirable to
our purses to enter large store and pur-
chase Decent collar for 10 cents, but it
transforms US into pestiferous and cranky
individuals to be compelled to stand on one
foot for twenty-seven minutes and wait
for the return of the penny due in change.
The pennies we save in promiscuous buying
would provide us with afternoon papers
and postal cards, but the time lost In wait
ing for change would make an annual in

1t seems that while floating over Hudson
bay one of the balloons gave way and the
gas escaped. This gave a permanent slope
to the platform, which was annoying,
especially as 1t prevented playing of tennis,
croquet and billiards; and in attempting to
remedy 1t by drawing off gas from other
balloons they lowered the hotel down into
the water. where they found 1t foated as
safely as In the air. They epent a happy
