A captive balloon, containing one
woman aud eight men. broke from its
fastening at Eleventh and Folsom
streets, San Francisco. Saturday even
ing. and two hours later was landed
near Pescadero. ffty miles from San
Francisco and but a short distance
from the ocean. The balloon Mt one
time was out at sea, but was blown
back over the land.
The balloon had been sent up several
times during the afternoon with pas
sengers. II was fastened to the ground
by i,OO0-foot rope cable, one and
quarter Inches In diameter while
descending on the hfth trip, about 500
feet from the ground, the rope broke,
hfty feet from the balloon. To the
horror OF the spectators tho balloon
rapidly shot up in the air to height
OF 1000 feet or more. and noAted away
In southerly direction. Those who
made the involuntary trip were; Ed

Nine miles from LnIIonda and about
six miles from Pescadero lies Beatty
Thompson's place. Thompson was up
and out when the balloon came along
by Wurr's mill, the graphing hook
slipping through the trees, and raking
along brushy patches Of ground. by
this time much OF tue gas had been let
out Of the balloon and the power was
weak The rope that had snapped and
caused the captive to become runa-
way was sweeping along the ground,
and when It came within Thompson's
reach he Rrasped and bore down with
all his weight. This stopped the flight.
Soon the balloon was brought to the
ground, and eight overjoyed passen-
gers and the aeronaut alighted and
took supper with Thompson. Twice
the balloon dipped close to the ocean,
but rose each time. The passengers
were badly frightened.

NGvelists never succeeded in weaving a
plot more dramatic, exciting and crowd
ed with surprises than the actual life
of the most famous of Australian out
laws, known as Captain Starlight. "
Il was supposed that this successful
rival of Claude Duval and Dick Turpin
was dead long ago. but it seems he was re-
serving his greatest surprise for the last
A few weeks ago cable messages from
Australia announced that there were pecu-
liar circumstances about the death of a
modest employe of the government of New
South Wales, and that investigation had
proved beyond doubt that the man who
for almost ten years had quietly been earn
ing 500 week as amanuensis for the gov
eminent geologlst at Perth was none other
than the most remarkable bushranger that
perhaps the world ever saw.

a town up In Canada where the old Bar
mum circus was showing. To make IL more
interesting the circus people were In the
habit of Offering 500 10 any man who
would go up In the balloon with the aero
naut when he made an ascension. This
was to make II look as though IL was n
very dangerous thing TO go up In bal
loon. l had nothing particular to do, ana
so / waited until the balloon about
ready to start. and the offer OF 500 TO any
man who would go up had been shouted over
and over. and the handbills making the
same announcement had been passed
around all through the crowd, and then
went up to the ropes around the balloon
and said would go up in IL for 500. EN-
erybody heard me, and got a cheer and
there was no chance for the show people
to back out. So they told me TO get In
and up we went. We came down sixty
miles away, but got back and got my 500

easiest money l ever made.

years old. ] was working for Il. ID. Oliver
with the intention of learning the carpenter
and milwright business, which l after
ward learned and worked at until L be-
gan climbing steeples altogether for Nv
ing. There was a steeple l5i feet high, and
they wanted somebody to put a cross IN
place on top OF il. The spirc was slender
one, and 1t was thought that IT would not
be strong enough for man to go ON top
of it. They advertised for two years for
some one to put the cross in place, and
no one undertook the job. 1 made up my
mind that 1 could do II all right. and
did. Mr.. oliver made the plans for me,
and told me just what to do after 1 got
to the top of the steeple. The cross was
made OF galvanized iron and only weighed
104 pounds, so that l was able to handle N
all right with the assistance OF the men
on the ground to haul on the ropes for me.

LONDON's BIRD TRADE.
Surprising Export of Robins ana
Import of Canaries.

From the LONDON Mail.
The birds to which the majority of people
are devoting their attention at this festive
season of the year are those which are
hung up or laid out attractively in the
windows of poulterers shops. There are
other kinds of birds. however, that cause
a considerable turnover in money in the
course of a year Vast number of robins,
for instance. are caught and sent abroad.
The number of robin redbreasts tEryth-
aca rubecula) that are exported from this
country to the United States, Canada and
Australia during the year reaches total
of nearly 5000. and they fetch about
f1SOOO. A few starlings are included in
these figures. as 1t has been found impos-
sible to obtain separate statistics; but the
great majority are robins.
Among singing birds. at least 5000 ca
naries find purchasers in this country In
the course of year, representing In cash
100000. Fully quarter OF these come
from the Tyrol and certain parts of Ger
many, where in some little villages ca
nary breeding is practically the only indus
try The largest number of canaries bred
in England Is by firm In the neighbor-
hood of Norwich. which disposes of 10000
per year, the value OF which is about 10000.
Piping bultinches are also largely of Ger
man importation, the best districts for
these being Hesse and Fulda.
About 10000 trained bullfinches come into
this country every year from germany ana
Russia, and their value, taking one with
another, IS over 100000.
The chaffinch is a very common bird IN
England, so common that 1t can be bought
in the streets for siXpence, but in Ger
many there is a variety whose song is very
highly esteemed. A few have been brought
over here and sold at "a each, but the eli
mate does not apparently suit them.
Larks and linnets are actually to be
bought for twopence each from the men
who net them, but dealer usually charges
at least a shilling for theme Blackbirds
thrushes and goldfnches usually cost more.
about a couple of shillings, although they
may be got for sixpence first hand
The largest price obtained for a British
wild bird is fiO, for perfectly white
specimen of a blackbird.
