CHAPTER Xl.

Let US go back little.
On the day the wagon train with
which we had to do turned aside and
erected its defense against the Indians
massed to overwhelm it, another train
was creeping over the plains not more
than thirty miles to the north
1t was the outfit of party of gold
hunters which had crossed the state of
Nebraska from Sidney and was moving
for the east side of the Black Hills
There were seven wagons and fifteen
horsemen, and one of the wagons con-
tanned the wife and daughter of one of
the gold hunters.
1t seems singular that husbands and
fathers would not leave wives and chill
dren behind to safety when setting out
on expeditions fraught with such hard
ship and peril, but the history of the
great west shows that woman has been
one of the foremost in encountering the
perils of frontier life. Men have grown
dissatisfied with civilization and pushed
out until beyond all protection and in
hourly danger, and wives and children
have cheerfully gone with them.
A few Indians had been encountered,
many alarms had been experienced,
there had been hardship and suffering;
but on the day of which we write there
was nothing to alarm, and the people of
the train were in good spirits at the
knowledge that their long journey was
almost ended.
In the making up of the expedition
numerical strength had been considered
more than character. Any and every
one was taken that could provide him
self with wagon or horse and rife.
The first days travel proved that great
mistake had been made. While the
owners of the wagons were mostly men
of steady habits and good character.
looking for homes as well as for gold,
the majority of the horsemen were tur-
bulent and unruly characters, some of
whom at least were leaving civilized
Nebraska and pushing into the Indian
country from fear of the law. They
carried a plentiful supply of whisky
with them, and they made it plainly un-
derstood that they would obey the cap
tain's orders only when it suited them
to do so. At the first campfire six of
the wagoners, Disguised with the out
look, were in favor of turning back,
but the captain, who was an old plains
man, encouraged them to go on by say
ing:
"These men are like sailors who al
ways start on voyage full of liquor.
After we get beyond civilization they
will tone down and become as humble
as you please"
But he was false prophet so far as

shape of the balloon should resemble
that Of a ship, because the same con.
ditions are applicable to the one as
TO the other; that is to say, it
should be ofan elongated form and
should be fitted with arudder, placed
at its stern, made of stuff smooth
and taut, and fulfilling the same
functions and obeying the same prin-
ciples as the rudder OF ship. A bal
loon of elongated shape, fitted with
screw, set in motion by motor,
and with steering gear such as |
have described, would sail as surely
in any direction that might be desired
as steamship in the sea, SO long as
the air was still. 1t Is the opposing
forces OF the air urrants-that is to
say, OF the wind-which makes the
steering of the air-ship a matter of
such difficulty When the speed OF
the air, coming in the face of the bal
loon, is equalled to that generated
by the balloon itself, the air.ship re-
mains stationary; when it is superior
the balloon is driven back. The
problem is to find a motor of suffi.
Gent power to MAINTAIN a rate OF
speed superior to that Of the strong
est air current. All kinds of motors
have been tried without result in the

A BURNING VOLCANO.

The most interesting, if not the
most important, discovery made by
Lieutenant Count Won Goetzen, the
German explorer who has only re-
Gently achieved the thirteenth trip
across Africa, has probably been the
finding in Ruanda of the fire moun-
tain, Kirunga. This is the only act
tive vol cano ever found on the Dark
Continent and the sole survivor of
the long line of flaming and smoking
craters which once lay with their
fiery caldrons on both sides of Veto
ria Nyanza far to the north.
Kirunga rises above the plain to a
height Of nearly 11,120 feet. The
crater is almost a mile in diameter
and its wall is nearly circular. At the
foot of this great volcano, Won
Goetzen discovered Lake Kiru, of
which Stanley heard vague reports
on his journey. 1t proves to be half
way between Lakes Tanganyika and
Albert Edward, and it sends its
waters, nearly as large as Lake Al
bert, through the Rusisi River to
Tanganyika. Thus the last link in
the chain of the sources to the Nile,
first sought by Livingstone, has been
found Philadelphia Record.

TIE REQUISITES TO PRACTICAL
BALLOONING.

The conditions of success, on which
the solution of the problem OF steer
ing balloons depends, are four, a
motor, a screw, rudder, and a speed
superior to that of the wind. IT bal
looms are to be steered the balloon
must have motive power by which
it can be moved forward and up
wards and downwards when it is
necessary to take it out of a current OF
wind superior to it's own speed. bor
as we discovered, the rate OF speed
of the wind varies according to the
altitude. You find layers of atmos-
phere, if l may use that expression,
one above the other, moving at very
different rates of speed. The motor
must move a screw, because the
screw is the most powerful means
known of propelling body through
fluid. Just as it it the best means
OF propulsion for ship in the water,
1t is the best means for a ship in the
air, which is only fluid of less den
slty than water. Similarly, the

THE FOUNDATION STONE OF sue
CESS.

The one great rule of business is
that of honesty, absolute and un-
qualified honesty, writes Edward W.
Box in the May Ladies Home Jour
nal. All the rules of business are
worthless if they are not founded on
that one and only foundation stone
to true commercial success. Honesty
is not alone the best policy in bust
ness; it is the one and only policy.
Upon it, and upon it alone, can a
good reputation be built, and man
in business without reputation tor
honesty might just as we'll stop.
Any deviation from the rule OF hon
esty in business may bring temporary
gain, but it invariably means perma-
nent loss. On the other hand, a
strict adherence to an honest policy
may mean temporary loss, but it
is sure to result in a permanent gain.
