ABOUT BALLOONING.
SOME CURIOUS FACTS RELATED YAN
OLD AERoNAUT.


Men Who Pierce tho Skies Fearlessly Cam
not Look Over the Edge of an Ordinary
Building without Terror-TroubloD Due to
Self-Consciousness.
"Few men or women who sail up to
the skies in balloons with entire fear
lessness could stand on the ledge Of a
third story window without expert
encing that faintness and nausea which
terror inspires or feeling an almost IT.
resistible desire to fling themselves
headlong to the pavement below" said
the old aeronaut.
"Why is it thus?" I asked In sur
prise.
"It is, I think" returned he, "due
entirely to the fact Of self-conscious-
ness. Balloonists are all more or less
self-conscious. 1t is that way with
every person who is favored with con-
slant public notice or with supersensi-
tive, highly cultivated or intellectual
folk. In close proximity to their fell
low men and things of earth their SEN
sibility to surroundings is invariably
who could walk along the edge Of tall
building or who could peer down from
the brink of precipice without suf-
fering vertigo and hatstrange hysteric
impulse to jump off. This Is because
they are too thoroughly aware of their
own personalities, or, in other words,
because they are always thinking OF
themselves.
Now, a person who is not self-con-
scious may parade up and down on the
tops of cliffs, climb steeples or cling to
the ridge of skyscraping building
without the slightest degree of fear or
inconvenience. His sensibilities are
blunted; he is not sufficiently imbued
with the idea Of his own personal
worth to heed the perils and discom-
forts of lofty position. But put that
same individual into a balloon and
send him up into the sky for couple
Of miles and, most paradoxically, he
at once becomes nervous, restless and
eventually evinces the liveliest fear.
He is liable to become sick and faint,
and manifests all those disorders COM
mon to the self-conscious man at an
eminence Of hundred feet or So
THE latter, however, the moment
you get him thousand feet above the
earth, the moment all familiar objects
begin to recede from his view, loses all
fear and tendency to vertiginous dis
turbances. A strange eXhilaration
possesses him, and likewise an impulse
to dare and do. II there be trapeze
attached to the balloon he wants to
climb down and swing in it.
THAT is why professional aeronauts
ascend to great heights and swoop
down to earth by means of the para
chute. They have lost all conscious
ness Of themselves among the clouds,
and boldly trust themselves to the hy-
pothetical safety Of the big umbrellas
without tremor OF fear. Yet l VEN
ture to say not one Of these profession
ais would trust himself to leap from a
building $50 feet high with para
chute. l doubt If many of them at
such height could be persuaded even
to venture close enough to the edge to
peer into the street."

BEAUTIFUL DEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.

A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
M. Serge Belaguine, Russian ex-
plorer of Brazil states in an interview
recently published in The Gaulois that
a few degrees below the equator he dis
covered a forest Of flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Belaguine,
that forest seems to have been discov-
cred before says Golfers Weekly. Two
years ago there appeared in San
Francisco paper an account provided
by bulb hunter returning from the
same region, who declared that after
noticing in a forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached
clearing, and there, straight ahead,
was a wilderness Of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailed on
the ground, mounted in reckoning con-
tortions, dangled from branches, fell In
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with it, NOV
ing with life of their own, dancing In
the glare of the equatorial sun, and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than a wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil Of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see,
but through which, try as he might, he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and it was
torture to him to see those flowers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die, suffocatsd by the very
splendors of which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage of demon flowers.

GLOVES.

GLOVES, like their neighbors shoes, have
history extending into antiquity. Xenophen
and Homer speak of them, showing that they
must have been in use among the Greeks
and Persians from very early times. Pliny
the Younger says in one of his epistles that
the amanuensis of the elder Pliny wore
gloves in winter lest the severity Of the
weather should make him lose any time.

and sinks below the water for the
night; in the morning the petals again
expand and float on the surface. The

and closes in a few hours; it opens
again at 6 o'clock the next morning,
and remains so till afternoon, when 1t

WHEN THE PLANTS SLEEP.


They Have Various Hours, But All Take
Rest.
The mimosa goes to sleep when
night comes on, or even a dark cloud
passing over the sun will cause It's
leaves to fold up and the stalk to sink
down, and in fact the whole plant goes
to sleep. In going to sleep the mimosa
is not, however, at all singular. many
species Of plants closing their leaves
and flowers at night. On the other
hand, there are some which, like the
beasts Of the forest, hail the setting
sun as a signal for activity. This
sleep of plants, which is the same ply
siologically as animal sleep, does not
exist without reason. The art of sleep
ing Is, in the higher animals, sympto-
matte of repose In the brain and ner-
vous system, and the fact of plants
sleeping Is one proof of the existence
of nervous system in the members
of the vegetable kingdom.
Plants sleep at various hours and
not always at night. The duration Of
plant sleep varies from ten to eighteen
hours. Light and heat have little to
do with plants sleeping, as different
species go to sleep at different hours
of the day. Thus the common morning
glory opens at dawn, the Star of Beth
lehem about 10 o'clock, the ice plant
at noon. The goats beard, which opens
at sunrise, closes at midday, and for
this reason Is called Go-to-bed-at-
noon" The flowers of the evening
primrose and of the thorn apple open
at sunset, and those of the night-fow-
