"One superb effe2t was that OF the
moons's rays on any large collection OF
glass houses-we passed over several
nursery gardens. Over a spread OF
these the sight was megnificeut.th though
the effect was but mOmentary and mao

for the momeut it turned the whole
into lake of molten silver. 1t was
eerie to look down and
see the tail rope stretching
$50 feet down into space. but 1t
was a grand way of realizing the idea
of speed. If you sat in the bottom OF
the car you felt absolutely as If you
were motionless, though we were real

or twenty five miles an hour. Looking
over the edge of the car down on the

you could mark how swiftly

Up IN A BALLOON AT NIGHT.
A Newspaper Mans Description of
the Panorama Presented.

A newspaper man formed one of a
party in d balloon ascent from the
CRYSTAL palace in London a few days
ago. His experiences are interesting.
AT 1000 feet high,' he writes, 1--WE
were over ,ome suburban railway sta
ton, and the sight of a train running
along curved cutting was one not to
be forgotten. 1t was like q comet
with fiery gold head and a silver tail.
The moonlight on the trail OF smoke
made IL look like the rapids of a river
water. The engine vas glow of fiery
red. You saw no train. At 9:53 the
smell of gas told Us we we're rising, and
we commenced the work of testing
echoes. l may here remark that there
are two grave objections to balloon
ira Veling-the one is that you can not
smoke and the other that you perpet-
tuslly smell gas.
1.-THE brilliancy of the moon was
very markedly increased as we flew
higher and lunar details, easily seen
with field glasses from earth, became
difficult to gaze at. Seen through good

could be distinctly heard strik-
ing 10. At 1000 feet it
was marvellous to note the
clean out shadows of the balloon which
the moon gave. AS we threw out sand
it's shadows could be seen dropping
from the balloon, first in broad
stream, then as it disintegrated and

Wants Active Service.

Correspondent Nicholas of the Chi
cago Post thus writes about fighting
Joe: General Joe Wheeler is anxious
to remain in the army If he can see act
i've service. This means that he wants
to o to the Philippines, the only place
where there is any fighting now or
likely to be any soon. He recognizes
that he can only remain in the army as
an officer of volunteers, and even to do
that he will have to accept a reduction
in rank and pay from major general to
brigadier general, which would prob
ably make him the junior general Of
ficer in the Philippines, If he were to
90 there. He is willing to stand this
to see active service 1t now appears,
that instead of Corbin being at the bot
tom of the war upon Wheeler, it is
Miles, the "major general command
ing" He it is who said that Wheeler
brought on the fight at Las Guasimas
and that he did so in disobedience OF
General Skaters orders. In reply to
this it is pointed out that after that
| fight Shafter congratulated Wheeler,
something he would not have done had
Wheeler oisobeyed orders. Another
assertion was that Wheeler counseled
q retreat from the front at Santiago
the dsy after the battles at Ell Caney
and San Juan. This is made in Ste
phen Bonsal's book. General Kent,
who is given as authority for the as
sertion, has written Wheeler denying
that he ever made any such statement
or anything that could be distorted
into it. Public sympathy is decidedly
with General Wheeler, the little ole

New York, December 11.--An exciting
time was counted upon the stock ex-
change this morning, and expectants
were not disappointed. Saturdays fall
Of prices brought large volume of SELL

People who would not think Of selling

forced to do so by the calling of loans
with which they were holding stocks.
Last weeks shrinkage in the value OF
stocks placed as collateral for loans
served to cut down the credit facilities
of operators. News Of the serious re-
verse of the British arms in South Afri-
ca was an aid to the bears in the hula
