ls claimed the trial OF hls invention
proved a wonderful success. His balloon
was filled with pure hydrogen Il can
be inflated IN half an hour and when
filed can be transported to any place
By a couple OF men.
During the official trial the balloon
assembled according 20 an account IN
the Scientific American. 10 an altitude
OF 300 feet cIrcling round. and was
brought TO a full stop Then the descent
was made In order that the Russian OF.
iiclals could observe its action The
descent is always q hazardous UNDER

feet control II then again assembled TN
Il was lost from view. About two hours
afterwards, the account says, a black
speck was seem il gradually Increased
IN size. and soon an lis details could
again be discerned by the spectators.
The airship came down IN nearly a
straight line When about 500 feet from
the ground lis speed was slackenod. and
the direction was changed so as TO
avoid clump OF trees The descent was
successfully accomplished, and the in
ycntor triumphant leaped out Of the
chair In which he had been seated while
operating his airship. Russian experts
are said TO have expressed their belief
that NJ Danilowsky has solyei the
problem OF aerial navigation. And II
this is fact why should not an Amerl-
can have hit upon the right principle
simultaneous with the Russian? Still,
the public Is justified IN doubling, until
an actual demonstration ohall have
been made.
In 1871 there was some talk Of cross
INK the Atlantic IN a balloon, and the
preparations for the voyage created
universal interest The attempt was
never made A couple Of years later W.
]. Donaldson started 20 cross the ocean
IN balloon. He did not come any far
Their than Connecticut, though In an
attempt later TO cross lake Michigan he
persisted, The longest successful voy-
age IN a balloon was presumably that
by two French Adventures, who left
Paris during the siege in 1871. and
landed In the mountains OF Norway.
But they did not attempt to steer the
airship. They simply trusted to chance.
The experiments and Investigations by |

RELIEF FOR INDIA.


Il seems interest is being awakened
in this country ia the condition % the
starving millions Of India. and various
plans for relief are being thought Of
One Mr. Charles G. Adams suggests.
according to a Worcester paper that
every church choir 90 the land give a
Sunday concert. and that the proceeds
be merged into one common fund TO be
known as the Choir Relief Fund. His
idea Is the. the concert be given in
stead Of the regular Sunday service. the
program to be made up OF sacrel music
and O brief address on the famine
The Kansas idea IS that a million
bushels Of corn be- contributed FOR the
starving Indians. and committee has
been formed for the purpose Of carry
ing out that idea. According to the
plan three days are TO be set apart as
gift days. Saturday, April 2Sth, Is to
be known as india corn day" Sunday.
April Goth, az india relief Sunday
