ingenuity may confidently be trusted TO
overcome the lead of other countries, at
present we are still near the tail end OF
the procession. From statistics gather
ed from all civilized countries short
time ago it appears that almost all OF
them hold within their bounds many
more automobiles than this country.
The cause, or, rather, the chief cause,
is the eXecrable condition of so many
of our country roads. In comparison
with the splendid highways of Europe,
most of our roads deserve classification
with the mud streaks of China. Such
condition is in itself a standing dis
grace to America, but the efforts now
making toward it's alienation will sc
far to make the automobile familiar
sight even in our smallest villages.
During the past year, figures for which
are not yet available, American manu-
facturers have been turning out auto
biles at a great rate, so that when re-
liable statistics are again gathered the

the same relation to that as racing
automobile bears to an auto-omnibus.
1t is interesting to note that the very
first ascent ever undertaken by human
beings in balloon occurred from near
ly the same point as that chosen by the
latest aeronaut, two Frenchmen start
ing from the Bots de Boulogne in fire
balloon in 1888 and, after sailing over
Paris, landing in safety az short dis
lance from the place of departure. In
fact, France has always led in aero
nautical experiments. Frenchmen sent
up the first balloon, and at the present
writing they are still in the van, though
there is generous rivalry for leader
ship between aeronauts of different ma
tionalities.
In the first successful attempt to
cross the English channel by balloon,
which took place in 1855, one of the two
passengers was Frenchman-M.

: TO Hunt Mountain Lions !

The fourth annual lion hunt of the
Western Slope Hunting association has
been called to take place in November. i
beginning on the LIST and lasting three
DAYS. The hunt will take place at De-
beoue, about 200 miles south of Dem
yer. in the heart of the Rocky noun
tains. This vicinity has been selected
because it contains more lions ana
bears than any other section OF the
state or, perhaps, than any other III
the Rocky mountains.
At this season of the year all animals
begin to climb down from the mountain
heights because of the cutting winds
and snow which begins to fall late in
October. In their descent the noun
tain lions and bears prey upon the deer,
elk. antelope and other game that may
cross their path, and when the plateau:
region has been reached they begin to
kill the sheep and cattle of the ranch
ers. The hunters will here meet them
on neutral ground. AT The station OF
Debeque the hunters VIII take horses
and wagons for the mountain gulch re-
giors, where these predatory animals
make their headquarters during the
winter. They will explore the country
for a radius of % miles. shooting at
everything that comes within range OF
their guns, including lions, bears,
wolves, cougars, wildcats, foxes. deer
and elk. 1t will be perhaps the largest
hunt ever held in the west. There are
about 500 members of the association,
and few of them ever miss such good
snort. In addition there will be a num-
Der of old mountain hunters who have
been invited to take hand. As an
| no
neighborhood have also been invited,
and are eager to participate not only
because they desire to assist in the ex-
| termination of their natural enemies,
bur because they also like the meat and
can make a profit by selling the pelts.
| There will be about 500 people in the
hunt. They will be divided into divi-
sions of so each, with captain IN COM
mand and a guide. also the usual
| .,pack" of dogs, including every kind
that can run and bark. Each division,
assigned to n certain territory, with
instructions to let no lion or bear es-
cape, will have a wagon train in which
/ to haul back the dead beasts. At night
i each division will subdividc and
''camp" at the various ranches. Bear
and lion stories will DC in order, OF
course. On the third day the various
divisions will return to Debcque, where
there will be barbecue, horse and bur-
TO racing shooting matches, etc.
The members of the association VIII
be armed with the latest improved
rifles, which will dispatch g lion at
long range, but the ranchers will have
the old style shotgun, which carries
only about 100 yards. The rancher
likes to get within close range of these
predatory beasts, so as to be sure OF his
game. Furthermore, he has no other
gun, is accustomed to the use of the
) old muzzle loader, and when he charges

The use of balloons during the Amer
lean civil war and in the Franco Ger
man war, especially by the beleaguered
Parisians in 1S70-1. is well known. In
the postal service alone, during the
siege of Paris, more than 100000 let
tiers were carried, with a total weight
of nearly 10000 tons.
1t was only a few years ago that an
authority wrote: "Of the innumerable
schemes which have been propounded
for the guidance and propulsion of bal
looms, not one has proved available,
and the machine is still manageable
only for vertical motions"
The problem of successful aerial nav
igation is being worked out in accord
ance with the immutable laws of devel-
opment that have governed all great
inventions and discoveries from the
time of Archimedes to the present. For
example, while the first balloon ascen-

THE era or palloonIng, which was
inaugurated III years ago, comes
= to a triumphant conclusion, it
would seem, just as the era of airship
sailing commences. The recent news
from Europe confirms this impression, on
the one hand chronicling the longest
balloon journey yet accomplished in the
successful voyage of the Centaure from
Paris to Korostysheff, distance of
1900 miles; on the other, the contest for
the Deutsch prize, offered for the dirigi-
BILE airship that shall start from the
Aero club grounds in the Bots de Bou-
logne and, after sailing around the Elf
fel tower, return to the point of depar-
ture in less than half an hour. Close
upon the heels of this comes the report
of Count Won Zeppelin's success, Oct. II,
when his great airship assembled nearly
1000 feet, tackled, steered against the
wind and made a safe descent, after be-
ing under full control more than an
hour.
The longest balloon trip up to the
year 1886 was that accomplished by Mr.
Green, an Englishman who covered 500
miles; but in 1859 the American bal
loonist, Mr.. John Wise, with two COM.
panions, sailed from st. Louis to Hen
derson, N. Y.-l.150 miles--in about 20
hours-at a. speed of nearly mile a
minute. So for more than 40 years
America held the honors for long dis
tance ballooning, being now in second
place only and in the first class for
speed, for the same year that Mr.. Wise
made his long flight Mr.. Lowe covered
q distance of 300 miles in about four
hours-at a speed of rs miles per hour,
the Centaure making an average of
only 36 or 81 miles an hour.
1t was established by the Montgolfiers
In 1888 that balloon could be sent to
great height by imitation merely with
hot air, but until quite recently it has
not been possible for man to steer or
direct his airship at will, either with or
against the winds. The desideratum
has been a dirigible or Siderable air
ship, and until last year this long felt

with some reservations. for all the OBJ
stacles to perfect aerial navigation
have by no means been overcome. and
the sun and the winds may yet have
as great sport with the venturesome
aeronauts as in the days of fable they
are said to have had with their prede-
cessors, Daedelus and Tcarus.
One thing has been settled by the ex-
periments of M. Santos Dumont, and
that is the fate of the so called aero
plane, which was creation with great
wings, huge and bulky. Such aero
nauts as Professor Langley of the
Smithsonian institution at Washington
and Maxim. the great inventor. have
been working toward the development
of the aeroplane or aerodrome-as the
formers machine is called-but, while
each has been able to record that this
invention could raise itself in the air
and even make short flight, no meas
ure of success was attained at all COM
parable to that achieved by the Brazil
ian's.
In the latest, and what will probably
be the best, form OF airShip adopted
the balloon idea is still retained-that
is, gas filled vessel as means of sus-
pension III the air-but with the addi-
tion of motor for propulsion attached
to it. The shape of the gas bag is mod
flied, however, and is either cylindrical
or cigar shaped, this being the form
adopted by Santos Dumont. by Count
Won Zeppelin, whose giant airship made
such good records in July and October
| of this year at Lake Constance, and by
the German government for it's war

The cigar shaped or cylindrical bal
loon. then, is the accepted type of the
future, 1T having been proved manage

Little can be added to what has al

that "a of these autotrucks could re-

a distance of 100 kilometers in one day,
which would be impossible under the
old system of horse transport without
an impracticably large number of
horses. This is the field in which mill
tary automobiles will find their great
est usefulness, for they are admirably
suited to the needs of this branch of
the service and are immeasurably SUI
