Prosperity to be Greater stlIl.

''In New York talked with a Pennsyl- and Iron manufacturers In the world and he informed me that he had extra orders for machinery and other products of his plant which would require him at least eighteen months to Ell'' said Pas chal Shook who has returned from a visit East.
 This manufacturer emphasized the fact that all this flood of orders meant extra work and did not have any bear ing upon the regular and ordinary out put of his plant So great was the pres sure of new business upon him that he had travelled eastward to place orders for new manufacturing machinery which would almost double the capacity of his works.
 This Is case In point Illustrating the industrial and business activity in the East. Every one of the many men of consequence In business whom I met was distinctly Dullsh, entirely confident that not only would the present unprece- dentedanational prosperity continue, but that conditions would grow still better,
 "The signs of great business and in- dustrial wave of prosperity are just as distinct and pronounced in the East at this time as they were in 1S99 Securi- ties of all kinds have greatly advanced, but they are held up by the investing public and a still higher range of prices is probable. The great multitude of the public who now have money to invest are investing in the high-priced securi- ties, and so dealings in these lines are no longer speculative gambling it is sub stantla1 investment by people who do not speculate"

Godard's Proposed Trip in Bal-
loon Across the Occun.

London, April 27.-Expert aeronauts
of London are giving serious attention
To M. Louis Godard's proposal to cross
the Atlantic in balloon. Several Of
1. sm will visit Paris TO confer with the
daring Frenchman and to wish him
godspeed. Perciyal Spencer. the best
known aeronaut in England, said:
Il heartily admire Godard's daring
epirit and sincerely wish him success.
His proposed experiment involves great
danger to the lives of those participate
ing in 1t, but SCIENCE, like religion, has
need Of martyrs.
If GODDARD can demonstrate the ca
pacity Of balloon to remain in the air
Indefinitely and range over great dis
tances. he will have made a splendid
contribution to modern discovery. i is
useless to deny that he proposes TO take
trip far more perilous than that es-
sayed by Andree. If men in a balloon
can cross the Atlantic With its whimsl-
cal air currents. its fIuctuating temper
atures and its liability to violent storms,
they need have little fear in sailing to-
ward the north pole. In the latter cas-
they would encounter equabe tempera-
1ure steady winds and no storms"
Spencer thinks that GODDARD is wise in
Choosing New York rather than any Eu-
7opean point as his port of embarkation.
ON this feature of the enterprise he said:
our French contemporary will ind
westerly winds less changeable than
easterly ones. Ifhe has the best of luck
he may ride safely over the perls that
will lie beneath him.

lower his balloon in search of air cur

could imagine a more romantic or pic
turesque undertaking. All the world
Mill unite in wishing 1t we'll"

Callahan We're together between the

however, that he had recently told two
detectives that he was not quite sure
Whether, il was December 19 or On the

Quarrel settled.

Washington, April PA complete
rapprochement between the govern-
ments. of Austria and Mexico has been
brought about, and as a result each
country is about to send minister to
the other. This terminates an interna-
tional estrangement dating from the
days when young Macmillan of Austria
sought to gain Il foothold in Mexico and
lost his life in the adventure. Ever since
then Austria and Mexico have suspend
ed all intercourse with each other conf
mercially and politically. Recently,
however, friendly ovcr;ures have beer
made to terminate the estrangement.
and have resulted in satisfactory
agreement between them. The Mexican
government has also taken steps to re-
sumo diplomatic communication with
South American countries. a move in
that direction being the appointment of
a Mexican minister to the Argentine re-
public. For many years there has been
no diplomatic intercourse between Mex
leo and her sister republics on the
southern continents, as there is little
commerce between them and few politi-
cal questions requiring diplomatic rep
