"A captive Balloon

The principal DANCE: III captive worn
ts the always present possibility Of the
wire rope parting, not because of the
obvious result that the balloon, being
set free, would at once make Off at speed
but for reasons Of very simple technical
nature, albeit none the more pleasant by
reason Of tLeir simplicity. 1t must be
understood that when captive balloon
has been sent mp the required height, the
neck Of the balloon has to be tied up so
as TO prevent the wind from exerting a
pressure on the envelope and forcing
out the gas, which would result in the
balloon very shortly losing its lifting
power and descending. In free runs the
neck must always be wide open, fo,
otherwise any sudden expansion of gas
might burst the balloon. Hence If
captive breaks away it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since it is sud
denly released from the restraint as we'll
as the weight IF the wire rope.
OF course III such an emergency the
gas would at ouce commence TO expand
furiOusly, and unless the neck of the
balloon were instantly opened and kept
open the envelope would inevitably
burst. In the shocking accident at the
Crystal palace i'll 1892, when poor Dale
and his comrades lost their lives, the
balloon was started with too much lift
and commenced to rise with undue ia
pidity. Dale, the aeronaut, realizing the
danger, opened the neck and III his anx.
iety to see that it was clear looked into
it, and it is supposed that his head
checked the outrush of heated gas, witt
the result that the envelope instantly
burst, with terrible results. -Macmn

Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the
historic Cuyler House at Plymouth, Ill. "a hos
telry where Abraham Lincoln often slept,
where Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and
Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the
inner man in ante-bellum days, and from the
veranda OF which Stephen \. Douglas de-
hvered one of his great speeches.
This article has not 80 much 10 do how

the landlords thirteen-year-old laughing,
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie.
As one sees her to-day, the picture of per-
feet health, it is hard to believe that nearly
nine of the thirteen years OF her life We're spent
on the bed of nvalidisn, that for months she
never walked and for years suffered the pain,
misery and distress of iniammatOry rhCGma-
tism in its worst form.
Able physicians were employed but no
permanent benefit resulted.
Mrs. Thompson heard of q wonderful cure
which had been effected by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pal' People, aud was jnllu-

her daughter.
Before she had taken half box. there was
marked Improvement in her condition; when
she had taken two boxes she was completely

The ease came to the attention of the editor

detailed to learn the story Of this remarkahle
cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She
said:

Causes That May Have Produced the

That admirable scientific publication
emanating frolc the state university
the Wisconsin Engineer, in its last
quarterly issue, dey otes some technical
attention to the explosion of the boiler
Of locomotive No. 249 in the North
western roundhouse at Madison Jan.
"a, by which Engineers Shelper and
Young and Foreman Beck were killed
and various other persons injured.
The Engineer says that in many cases
it seems more difficult to trace the
cause of a locomotive boiler explosion
than that of stationary boiler, but
in this case point of weakness could
be looated where the first rupture
itial force which produced this rupture
may be in doubt, it appears that the
explosion was one OF those accidents
which 1t is impossible to guard
about eighteen years, but it had had
the best of care and had recently been
inspected and found as safe as a
boiler inspection can determine safety.
A careful examination of the wreck
was made and as shown in the cut, the
fire box end was not damaged but the
upper middle portion of the she'll was
blown away and lay about five hun
Gred feet to the rear OF the main
portion. There was no evidence of
low water as shown by burned or
