There is at least one newspaper
which is edited by king. In far-away
New Zealand there is an interesting
little eight-page paper, with three col
umns to a page, printed in both the
English and the native tongue; and
called the Pleiades, or Seven Stars.
Its editor is no less a person than his
Royal Highness Towhiao. It is true

ent sovereign, but when he descends
from the royal throne to the editorial
chair, then, indeed, he is monarch OF
all he surveys.

Another aeronaut has fallen from
a balloon and been killed, which is an
other way of saying that he sacrificed
his life to the popular fancy for the
horrible-a fancy which is as real to-
day as it was when men fought wild
beasts in the Roman coliseum. No.
body would walk two blocks to see
an empty balloon 60 up. The inference
is not agreeable, but it is inevitable.
It is the chance that the balloonist
will be killed which draws people to
