'When the machine first came into view
1t looked to be about the size of an apple,
but as 1t rapidly descended if, grew larger
and larger. Within fifteen minutes We could
see the shape of the balloon and within
half hour could just barely distinguish
the hanging chair. on which the inventor
operator was seated. Nearer and nearer to
earth and still falling in an almost ex-
actly straight line, the wonderful airship
came, until 1t was only about thousand
feet In the air, and we could just see DR..
Danilewsky. At 800 feet the speed slack
ened and the direction was slightly chang
ed. This was done In order to avoid
great clump of giant trees which adtoined
the Danilewsky property. He passed the
trees with perfect safety, moving not more
than six feet over their waving tops. how
cred for an instant motionless over the
great shed which houses the balloon, ana
then, shouting to us to get out OF the way,
he gently landed the alrship not fifty
yards from the shed, almost in our very
midst, and, alighting from his seat made
the big balloon fast and then approaching
us asked an opinion of his invention.
"Of course we simply overwhelmed him
with congratulations, expressed the run
extent of our wonderment, and admitted
the absolute and incontroverttble success
of the descent. We have so reported to
the war department, and the probabilities
are tndt WltuiH d very SitoIl uiiie ttiS hSW

ment for the use of the signal service

DR. Danilewsky was visited in his labor
atory at Charkov and described at some
length the apparatus which enables him
to achieve such wonderful results He
said my balloon flying machine is bas-
ed on the hypothesis that IL mans
strength, in proportion to his weight, Is
not sufficient to raise him in the air. he
can raise himself il part of his weight is
suhtracted. BY the use of a balloon
filed with hydrogen the weight of the
man is eliminated from the problem and
he can use all his efforts to propel and
steer the balloon which supports him.
II claim for my flying apparatus many
advantages over the common type of mil
itary balloon. First. the filling with
hydrogen. the rigging and In general the
complete equipment for flight of an or
binary balloon requires from fifteen men
UPWARD while my airship only requires
from three to four men. Then, again.
while the time required for the filing OF
a military balloon is In the neighborhood
OF from three to four hours. my balloon

and when inflated 1t can be transported to

porting any distance of an ordinary bal

appurtenances Is a very clumsy affair,

"HOWARD AT ATLANTA"

Gen. o. o. Howard one day last week
told reporter of the New York Tribune
how it was that Whittier came to write
the poem; Howard at Atlanta"

ard, land i had finished lot OF work
among the negro schools in and around
Atlanta, preparatory to coming North. One
of the last schools visited was the Storrs
colored school, in Atlanta. and after talk
ing with the children about different things
l said:
and l shall sec a lot of big and little
folks up there. What message shall car
ry them from you?
There was a dead silence for q min
ute," said Gen. Howard, "and I didn't
know whether would get reply or not.
Finally one little chap, dressed in a white
Jacket, sitting right down in front of the
Platform, spoke up, saying:
=" 'Massa. tell 'em we's risin'-we's risin'.'
when got to Washington made an
address there, telling an audience about
our work in the South, and related the in
cident of the little boy in the white jacket
Gen. George w. Balloch cut the story out
of a Washington paper next morning and
sent 1t to Whittier who used 1t as a text
for the poem referred TO. Several years
after the war / visited Whittier at his
home, in Haverhill, In company with Gen.
= Boynton. He rallied me about my preach
ing and fighting, and / rallied him about
his being Quaker and writing so many
heroic verses. We had a very pleasant
day together, and found Whittier
charming man.
The poem referred to contains the fol-
lowing verses:
There was the human chattel.
Its manhood taking:
There in each dark, bronze statue
A soul was waking.
The man of many battles,
With tears his eyelids pressing,
Stretched over those dlisky foreheads
His one-armed blessing.
And he said: who hears can never
Fear for or doubt you;
What shall tell the children
Up North about your"
Then ran round a whisper, a murmur
Some answer deyising.
And little boy stood up ''Massa,
Tell em we're rising"
Oh. black boy of Atlanta,
But half was spoken,
The slaves chain and the masters
Alike are broken.
The one curse of the races
Hold both in tether;
They are rising-all are rising,

Railroad Man Survives Contact With a

Lowell Mass, Sept. HI. C. Taft, formerly d telegraph operator and now local agent of the Boston & Maine "a l. road, is alive to tell how he felt when 1,lO9 volts of electricity passed through his body on Saturday afternoon and caused him no pain. He was on the roof Of the station making an exanina- tion for a leak which had been notice during rainstOrm. He meant to F st his hand on wooden support, but ia- stead touched an electric light wine from which the insulation Was torn off, and at the time was standing on a copper roof which was connected with the ground by an iron pipe. In descr.b- ing his experience, Mir Taft says:
 'I was insensible for a moment. and they tell me I must have received about HOO volts. l shouted to the men on the roof with me to pull me off, but before they could do it I rolled away from the
