Santiago fell. In the realm OF the fly
ing machine all that has been done
from Chanute to Lillienthal has been
very thoroughly exploited. Suffice il
to say that we are still perhaps a CEN
fury behind the perfect flying appara-
tus.
Bat in the field of ballooning the last
decade of the century can claim the
distinction of being the epoch-making
period. While the eyes of the lay OBJ
servers have been fixed upon flying
machines the aeronaut has quietly de-
voted himself to his task, and what
was but experimental work during the
Franco-Prussian war has changed sud
denly into an exact science. Europe
has made aerostatics a supplement to
the study of war, and the Russian,
French, German and English armies
are today fitted out completely with
perfectly adjusted balloon machinery.
1t was my good fortune to visit the
camp just outside of Berlin a few
weeks ago and to observe not alone
the testing of balloons but the actual
making of them.
Germany's first notable experiments
were with the Humboldt, balloon to
the making of which the present en-
peror gave the sum of $4,000 marks.
The explosion and complete destruc-
ton of this air-fiier taught aeronauts
of all countries valuable lesson, and
they have changed not alone the ma
terial out of which war balloons are
made, but even the method of making
them.
The first problem that confronts
the military aeronaut in the making
of his balloon is to estimate to a frac-

! at it the moment it hove in sight. Two
OF the sa1ls mex i but glanced off.
A thi,I s1ot p;elced the outer cover
ing, but did not impair the inner coat
in the least, and the balloon reached a
height of something over 1000 feet.
The material used in the German
army for the making of balloons is the
Icostliest pongee silk obtainable. For
cheaper balloons percale is used, but
this is undesirable where great dis
Itances are to be reached and where the
observations will consume consider
able time. Germans still have on ex-
hibition, however parts of the famous
Delcourt balloon, made in 1882, of
something like 10000 pieces of very
thin kid all pasted together. Another
material used in the experiments two
years ago was thin plate made of an
alloy of tin and copper. But this
proved as unsatisfactory as did an al
uminum balloon test.
The pongee silk having been select
ed, every inch of it's surface is tested,
and this proving successful the sec
tions are cut out and turned over to
about 800 girls. who sew it together by
hand, no machines being used.
The finest of silk thread is given the
workers, and every portion of their
work undergoes the most careful scru-
tiny. Sewing machines are not used
for the reason that it is almost i'm
possible to work them on the seams
near the end. Some of the French
aeronauts insist on having the balloon
cloth sewed in what are called zones"
from side to side. Germans prefer
sewing longitudinally, claiming that it

ton its area, conforming this to the
height intended to be reached.
This fixed, the problem of weight is
next solved. By this the aeronaut
means not alone the carrying capacity
as far as meteorological instruments,
anchors, ETC., are concerned but the
possibility of bearing aloft at least one
light gun and bomb or two. The
gun foreshadows a midair battle, such
as has thus far figured only in the i'm
aginations of writer's of lurid fiction
Today, should war be declared by one
European nation against another, ii
would prove fact, and we might pos
sibly have thrilling story of the two
minute battle between the Kaiser
Wilhelm II. and French balloon over
Metz and Strasburg.
Military aeronauts, as a matter oil
fact, believe that battle of this ma
ture might last an hour. Only recent
ly a peculiar experiment was tried by
The French army, which tends tt
strengthen the aeronauts in the above
view. A balloon was sent up a mile

of the hands make tests of the strength
of the inner surface.
AT present there are four of these.
balloons in use in the German army.
All of them are made on the general
plan of the Humboldt, except in the
material used, which is, as stated above
the best pongee silk obtainable. The
apparatus for emitting gas is alto
gether much improved and no Difficult
ty whatever is experienced in reaching
the ground.
The training of the military aero
naut is not complete until he knows
how to roll up the empty balloon. This.
is work requiring weeks of practice,
and when it is thoroughly understood
the compass of the collapsed and fold
ed balloon is just about the area of
the basket, in which it is placed and
carted to the nearest military station.
The balloon maneuvers in the Eng
fish and Russian armies have been con-
Quoted much more secretly than those.
of Germany and France, and there
are those who assert that the advances
made by the English aeronauts border
on the marvellous.
In America the aeronaut has. till
very recently, no blood-thirsty ideas
in his work. At present, aside from
inventing flying machines, he is de-
voting most of his time to perfect
ing balloon which will be able IN
improve the signal service. In fact
the day is no far distant when we
will have air stations for n1eteorolog-
ical observations, and these will en-
able us, so Weather Prophet Moore

After the sewing is completed var
nishes are applied along the seams,
and the work of adjusting the net
and the basket begins. The ventilat-
ing apparatus is applied to the bottom
of the balloon, and this takes up fully
Two weeks of the practical aeronaut's
time. The dead weight carried by the
famous Humboldt balloon, not includ-
mig ballast, was 1850 pounds. Those
now being made carry dead weight
of over a ton, and including ballast,
aeronauts, ETC., over double this.
The fitting out of balloon basket
is a task requiring great ingenuity. In
addition to meteorological instruments
there is a complete supply of instru-
ments for the inhalation of oxygen.
This is, however, only necessary where
balloons are intended to be carried in

SUGAR SALES
KIhei Will Make New
Contracts.
h. P. Baldwin Goes To Coast to Ar
range Terms for Three or
Five Years.

At the meeting of the stockholders of
the kihei Plantation Company yester-
day afternoon, resolution was passed
giving Alexander G. Baldwin authority
to negotiate for contracts for the sale
of the Kihei sugar for three or five
years. Mr.. H. p Baldwin, of the firm
OF Alexander & Baldwin, leaves on the
Australia for the Coast today to at
tend to this among other important
matters of similar character.
Representatives of other agencies are
already in San Francisco and the ex-
pectation is that all the plantations will
at an early date make contractAof from
three to five years for the disposition of
their crops.
The present contract with the Sugar
Trust is about expiring. The basis of
the present contract is for sugar sent
to New York, the New York price for
sugar less one-tenth of a cent per
pound. The basis for sugar sold in San
Francisco is at the New York price less
three-eights of cent per pound The
difference in cost of getting the sugar
to New York makes the two rates about
equal.
The Kihei Plantation Company had
about thirty-five acres of cane left over
from last cutting which had been plant
ed for seed, but was not needed for that
purpose. The Hawaiian Commercial
Company commenced grinding on it
last week 1t went 6S tons of cane to
the acre, but owing to this being un-
ripe, only turned out 8 tons of sugar
to the acre.
The cutting was at once stopped and
the balance will be cut much later when
IL is expected to go 10 tons. This cane
was not planted until December, 1898,
or six months after the regular planting
time. The reason for it's not being ripe
was on account of its growing on lower
land and it did not blossom. and con-
sequentiy did not ripen The balance
OF this thirtyfive acres of cane will
probably be ground in July.

IS SHE LOST 2
Schooner Norma Not

missing Since Last Friday Week
When She Sailed for
Kauai.

stories OF heavy winds and high seas
brought TO port by Island steamers are
creating much anxiety among shipping
men concerning the welfare of the little
island schooner Norma.
She has not been heard of for over
ten days now, and fears are entertained
that she has been wrecked AMI her
crew lost.
IL was on Friday, May 4th. thar the
Norma left Honolulu for the Island Of
haual. Captain Weisbarth. who owns
the vessel, was in command when she
left upon what many now believe was
ner last voyage. Latest news from Ka-
uai gives no information regarding her.
and eight days after she had left here.
saturday last, she had not been seen at
any Kauai port.
Inc little vessel was last reported at
o o'clock on Friday evening. the 4th
INST, when she sailed for Kauai. She
was loaded with general cargo.
shipping men remember well the cir
cumstances of the purchase of the Nor
ma by Captain Weisbarth at a public
auction at the boat landing, over six
months ago. The famous yacht Norma,
commanded by Commodore" Weaver,
was in port at the time, and when it
was announced that the Norma was to
be sold at auction, many thought that
IL was the Norma that was meant. The
similarity OF the names created some
little confusion at the time.
Captain Weisbarth paid $500 for the
Norma. She has something of the hoo
doc abut her. if her many peculiar and
varied experiences count for anything.
