cember; it may be settled con
sumption in January. 1t is

Il strong air current. To cut loose here
would have been to disappoint my au-
dience, so l determined to take my
chances of getting back through it with
the parachute, and went on. ] soon
passed into a fine, quiet atmosphere
again. At about 6,3O0 feet the balloon
ceased to rise. 1t began to drift slowly
southwark toward the river, so l cut
loose. After a short shoot downward
the parachute opened. All went well

Two Lives saved.

Mrs, Phoebe Thomas. of Junction
City. Ill, was told by her doctors she
haa Consumption and that there was
no hope for ner. but two bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her lite. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St, San
Francisco, suffered from dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. 1t is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy OF
this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

Goals. This eXplodes and produces the
intense and quick heat desired for lift
ing power that makes an aeronaut
nervous-the fear chat he may not be
lifted quickly enough to clear the dan
gerous high buildings and church
steeplcs. 1t is not the thought OF soar
ing above the clouds that causes appre-
hension.
is not the moment you cut loose
from hot-air balloon in agonizing
one?" | asked.
NO, rot ii you have well-rigged
parachute of proper size for your
weight. a siXfoot diameter is sup
posed to carry 80 pounds. The one, l
am now using is only IS feet In
diameter. My weight being 100, it
is carrying 30 pounds more than it
should. 1t is one that used in sending
Gcwn a dog while with circus. OF
course, it descends faster than para
chutes usually do; but my using the
hoop employ, make it open out more
quickly, giving me shorter shoot, and
consequently less severe jerk"
How high do you like to go before
cutting loose?" said |.
AS high rs it will jse-usually from
1000 TO 1000 feet unless | encounter
an undesirable upper current. In that
case cut the rope Immediately 1t is
the unreliable upper currents that raise
the mischiefs with parachutes. Ii they
catch you so as TO turn the machine
over, nothing can right it, 1t is all NJ
with man then, he had just as well
say his prayers. But an experienced
aeronaut can do much to avert such q
catastrophe by carefully drawing down
on the ropes running to the highest
/ side. / recently got into such scrape
For moment my parachute was with
iu an inch of going over. With fortu
nate presence of mind | worked tho
ropes and avoided a fall. ClutchiEs
the bar and yelling: oh, God! say'
mel will avail nothing when your ma
chine strikes tronble in mid-aii
There's but one thing TO do; look abou
( and see what the trouble is, and f pos
sible correct it. OF course, this re
quires a cool head. but man who's

before. | began to fall rapidly. A few
moments later, to my surprise and joy,
the parachute opened. | landed safely
in wheat field. My first thought was
to examine tie parachute to find an
explanation for its queer conduct. i
could discover nothing wrong. The
rigging was all in perfect working or
der. 1t had simply shut up and then
reopened. 1t was puzzling. Had
been superstitious, might have charged
it to the prank of some mysterious
denizen of the air. My final conclusion
was that | had encountered two oppos-
ing air currents, which, with n sort of
eddying force, had for an instant
closed the parachute. 1t was the only
solution could find"

Not if an aeronait understands his
business practically The course of a
parachute may be changed materially
by 'dishing, This is done by careful
manipulation of the parachute ropes

up smoothly, the parachute may be
'dished' so as to escape any threatening
obstacles. / have seen scores of old
aeronauts who knew not ling of this

One of Americas most successful and

hart, who is ut present in the west.
giving hot-air balloon ascensons and
parachute drops. l called at his tent
one afternoon recently, where found
Linn lying upon cot reading. When
announced the object OF my visit, he
arose and invited me in.
He showed himself modest, affable
young gentleman of type rarely en-
oountcred among this class of profess
sional people, where ostentation is the
usual trade mark.
Mr.. Eclehart is "a years of age, of spare
build, and weighs but 120 pounds. He
has been in the business nine years; and
as the average life of an ueronaut is
said to be but two years, his unusual
good fortune is manifest.
His balloon is 60 feet high, 100 feet
in circumference ard weighs $50
for imitation, it being impossible to OBJ
tain gas ia the smaller western towns.
The parachute Us feet in diameter
when spread), the trapeze and rigging,
add so pounds. This with his own
weight GEO pounds) gives it q total
weight of $50 pounds. AS the lifting
force when the balloon is well filed is
G50pounds, there remains an ascensional
power of 800 pounds-quite sufficient
for exhibition purposes.
For initiating the balloon, a long
trench is dug and the top covered over.
At one end of it the fire is put in; over
the other is suspended the empty linen
monster, the lower edges being held
tightly to the ground to prevent the
heat from escaping. One man stays
inside to guard the STORYTELLING bag
from sparks.
Until the balloon is well-1illed Mr..
Eckhart uses hard wood barrel slaves
&c fire the trench: but just before he is
ready to make the ascension, cup after
cup of gasoline is thrown in upon the

MONROE DOCTRINE.

Senator Davis Has n i,ill Prepared on tho
Subject which win BE submitted to
The Foreign Relations Committee.
NEW YORK. Jan. Is. A sun special
from Washington says: Senator Da-
Wis, of Minnesota, n member of the
foreign relations committee, acting as
su b-committee of one, has prepared
resolution on the subject of the Mon
roe doctrine, which will be submitted
to full meeting of the foreign rcla-
tions committee Wednesday. The
resolution Is rs strong as
language can make it in
support of the American claim that
the principles of the Monroe doc trine
are applicable to the present dispute
with England over the boundary line
of Venezuela, and declares it to be the
sense of congress that the doctrine
should be enforced to its fullest extent
at all times. 1t is generally understood
that there are only two members of
the committee who will vote
against the adoption of the resolution.
One of these is Mr. Turpie, of
Indiana, and the other Mr.. Gray, of
Delaware. The latter is strongly op-
posed to the attitude of the adm MIS-
tration on the Venezuelan question,
and does not approve of the sentiment
session of the American congress and
the American people Like others who
believe as he does, however, Senator
Gray has hesitated to make his opposi-
tion known.

to walk out of the house. Anyhow, that
night the household was aroused by
terrible screams, and on entering the

and her heart had ceased to beat.
They searched for the murderer in vain,
and the next morning the man who had
wanted her was found dead in his own
bed, and on the table by his side was
confession that he had done the deed.
Since that the house has been believed
to be haunted. Several families have
tried to live there. but in vain. Ter
rible cries and groans have been heard
