will go the balloon, and as no one has
reason to suppose that the wind will
avoid the North Pole, the balloon
ought to reach there in due time. Bet

The karaim Jews,

Inc karaim Jews number 5000 or
1000 and live principally in the Crimea.
They speak Tartar dialect among
themselves, and ethnologically are
much more like Tartars than Semites.
Their own legends, in fact, permit the
assumption that they were khaZars
and were converted to Judaism in the
eighth century. Their form of Judaism
differs from that of the 5000 900 or
more orthodox Russian Jews in reject
ing the talmud and traditional theol-
ogy altogether and combining itself
strictly to the Mosaic revelation. 1t
has been a favorite amusement with
the Russians for generations to pretend
the greatest admiration and affection
for this obscure little tribe Nine.
Novikoff had her joke on the subject
here in London when she grayely as
sured an interviewer some years ago
that there never had been law of any
kind issued in Russia against the Jews.
When this amazing assertion was uues-
toned she coolly explained that she
referred to the karaim Jews, as in Rus
STA they did not consider the disciples
of the talmud were Jews at all. Inas-
much as the karaites constitute only
two-thousandth part of the Jewish
race~-if, indeed, it be conceded that
they belong to it at all-the insolence
of the Russian attitude toward them
is peculiarly exasperating to Hebrews
in general and the spectacle of their
being brought forward at Moscow as
the sole representatives of Israel will
smart and rankle just as the genial
Slavonic character deires it should

to which is obtained by means or rope
ladders. Other ladders lead up TO the
lower of the three valves of the bal
loon. This trio of valves is a special
feature. The remaining two are fixed
about halfway up the balloon, one on
each side.
NJ. Lachambre laughs at the idea OF
his balloon bursting. Nothing would
burst it he is certain. after the precau-
lions he has taken. The material OIL
which it is made is double every
where and quadrupled where the pres
sure is greatest. The two layers OF
stuff are stuck together by compo-
sition of NJ. Lachambre's finding, ana
in the adhesive qualities OF when ne
has the greatest confidence. The whole
is to be covered with a varnish. also OF
his discovery, and used in this balloon
for the first time. Other special IN
yentions are to be adapted to the bal
loon, and especially system OF sails,
which the aerOnauts declare VIII en-
able them to guide their vessel to
very considerable extent.
An all-important feature of the bal
loon is its guide ropes. three in num-
Der. The entire success of the expedl-
ton hinges on these guide ropes. 1t
must not be supposed that the balloon
is to go careering through space at an
enormous altitude. II its owners can
help it. it will never be more than two
or three hundred meters above the
earth At this height the guide ropes
will trail on the ground. According as
more or less of the rope trails the bal
loon will rise or fall, as the weight 1t
has to carry will clearly increase or de
crease in proportion to the length Of
ropes weigh about 1000 kilogrammes.

more to save his body than to save his
soul.-St. Louis Humorist
