BALLooNING OVER THE BALTIC
A Successful Voyage from Berlin to
Sweden.

Sweden.
An international balloon expedition
started from various places on the CONT
nent on January 10. The German bal
loon was manned by DR.. Berson of the
Meteorological institute, and First Lieut..
HildeDrandt of the aeronautic detach-
ment here. They happily succeeded in
crossing the Baltic, this being the first
passage by balloon. After a small, un-
manned balloon with selfregistering APP
paratus, had been sent off from the
aeronautic observatory at kegel, just be-
fore sunrise. and had descended a few
hours later in the north of the Province
of Brandenburg. the manned balloon as
cended at about $40 O'Clock from the
Tempelhof common, carrying the two
aerOnauts. II contained about 1909 kii0-
metres of gas, and was supplied with al
the necessary scientific apparatus. To
facilitate breathing in the higher regions
of the air, bottle containing 500 litrcs
OF oxygen was also taken. \ light breeze
was blowing as the balloon passed over
northern Berlin about 200 metres high,
and presently a brisk north wind sprana
up, taking the balloon along at ye-
locity of about forty kilometres az hour,
mt an elevation of about 1000 metres, to
Mecklenburg-Strel and on to Pome-
rama
At Iii p. m. the adventurous balloon
| lists found themselves near Stralsund.
and, as the wind was still northerly. il
was resolved to risk the passage of the
Baltic. which was presently seen extend
| ing like a white-flecked leaden waste
far beneath them. The island of Rue
gen. which was soon afterward passed
presented an exquisite panorama. The
| higher the balloon assembled the more
agreeable the temperature became; the
thermometer registering s degrees, Gel
sius, at height of 1900 meters. About
| $3.50 p. III. the middle of the Baltic was
reached, the coast of Germany appear
| ing like streak of gray against the clear
sky. A little while later the travellers
witnessed a magnificent sunset at a
height of 1000 meters, 1.-The sun sinking
| like red ball of fire into the lurid
waves"
At 4 80 p. m. the Swedish coast was
1 reached and Trelleborg lay before them.
The balloon then passed over Malmohus
| and LandskrOn, in the twilight; at an
| elevation of 5000 meters the aeronauts
| getting sight of the revolving lights ON
| the coasts and harbOrs of Sweden and
| Denmark. After the balloon had Travelled
| ground in Sweden, a dense fog set in,
and the aeronauts decided to descend

and was happily accomplished without
assistance. They now hid the balloon in
wood, and went to a small farm in the
nelghbOrhOod, returning to Germany the
| following morning.-LOndon Standard.

DEATH DOES NOT AWE THEM
"Fun'ralizin' oh the Corpse" a Social

plcasurable events, at which eating and
drinking form as important feature as
at weddings and many a hOusekeeper
in the South has heard the request for
the loan Of her common plates or glasses.
''Fo' serve de refreshments ON, at my
fren's fun'ral."
Darkeys usually speak of it as ''de

asked why they want to have such eX-

say,

BENEFITS OF CONSOLIDATION
Production Cheaper, Increased Sales,
Steady Work, Higher Wages.

In the current number of the North
American Review Charles X. Flint.
treasurer of the United States Rubber
company, sets forth some extraordinary
facts and figures illustrative of the pres.
ent Astounding prosperity of the country
and to what, apart from our vast re-
sources and the mechanical perfection
of our machinery, this prosperity is at
tributed. He says
The system of centralized manufac-
ture, that has found so firm place with
us, permits for numerous reasons the
highest perfection of special machinery
and processes. The factory running ON
full time, on large volume, reduces the
percentage of working charges. Direct
sales on large scale minimize the cost
.af handling, There as an improved sys-
tenn OF distribution which reduces aggre-
wear, storage, insurance and interest.
Consolidated management results in fix,
ing the standards of quality, the best
standards being adopted in avoiding
waste and financial embarrassment
through comparisons of credit, and in Sc
curing the advantages of comparative ac-
counting and comparative administra-
ton.
The European Wage-earner, instead
of welcoming labOr-saving machinery, as
our wOrkmen have done. has persistent
ly tried to retard its general use: and the
result has been that wages have been
lower in Europe. The American work
man has received more because he has
produced more. and this is the great
reason why. notwithstanding our high
wages. we are so rapidly extending our
trade with foreign markets.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Vincennes, Ind, July 1.-THE marriage of
Doctor Joseph A. swartzel and Mrs. Belle
Horrall was the sensation Of the week in
this city, and adds another chapter to one of
the most sensational cases ever recorded In
Southern Indiana
Three years ago Doctor Joseph A. Swart-
Eel was one Of the most prominent physi-
clans in the State Of Indiana and a leading
Democratic politician, surrounded by a. low
ing wife and four children in one of the
most palatial residences in Vfncennes. He
was looked upon as the happiest Of men.
About this time he was called to the home
of Perry Horralf, a well-to-do mill owner, to
attend an Illness of his wife. She was sick
for number of weeks. and the doctor made
regular visits.
He soon grew attached to her, and the
attachment ripened into love. The love was
returned. and 1t wasn't long until gossip
was aroused.
Naturally It reached Mrs. swartzel. and an
investigation proved that the doctor and
Mrs. Horrall were very much infatuated
with each other.
A divorce suit followed, and the Court
granted Mrs. Swartzel her liberty. The
tween Mrs. Horrall and her husband.
She filed suit for divorce, and he filed a

NO AGREEMENT ON
BOUNDARY Line,
Louisiana and Mississippi Still
Have Differences Over
Oyster Grounds.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New Orleans, La, July N-The Boundary
Commission of Mississippi has refused the
proposal the Louisiana Commission made
defining a line of demarkation between the
waters of the coasts of Louisiana and Mis-
sssippi. 1t is said that the Mississippi
Commission not only refused to accede to
the proposed line the Louisiana Commission
drew separating the waters Of the two
States, but has said that it will make no
counter offer whatsoever.
The rumor comes from sources that give
1t unusual credit. and the fact that the
work Of the two commissions had not been
fruitful OF some result Is a matter Of ex-
ceeding regret to Louisianans.
The Louisiana Boundary Commission was
appointed by Governor W. W. Heard early
in the spring. Its purpose was to meet a
like commission appointed by the Governor
of Mississippi. to locate a separating line
between the waters Of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi H -
The first meeting was held in this city
two or three months ago, and after an all
day session. in which the Louisiana Com
mission showed how essential to the oyster
beds of both States was the establishing OF
line which would determine just where
the Jurisdiction OF each State extended, the
Mississippi Commissioners said that they
were not fully prepared to make known
their decision, and asked that they be given
maps and information on the subject, that
they might prepare their answer. to be
made known at a later meeting.
This request was acceded to. and ever
since the Louisiana Commission has been
looking for an answer from the Mississippi
Commission, fixing date for the second
meeting. The disappointment of the Louis
lana Commission may be imagined at this
abrupt termination OF the discussion, in so
far as the Mississippi Commission is con-
cerned.
AS matters stand now, the fishermen Of
oysters violate every law of this State
which seeks to protect the oyster beds.
II fisherman is caught violating the laws
he can easily evade punishment for the
offense by claiming he was not in Louisiana
water at all. but IN Mississippi.
When the fact Is considered that Louisi-
ana owns some of the finest oyster beds In
the world. and that these beds are being
spoiled by being fshed with steam and
patent dredges. the importance of protect
Ing this industry. which means thousands
of dollars yearly to the people of this State.
| can be appreciated.
1t Is thought now that the Louisiana
Commissioners will seek to have line def
| inttely drawn. even II they have to appeal
to the law.
