The Kansas Millers' Export compa-
ny came into existence at the meeting
of the representative Kansas millers
at the Coates house in Kansas City,
Mo. It will be incorporated under
the laws of Kansas, with capital
stock of 100000, and the charter will
state that its principal purpose is the
advancement of export business
among Kansas mills. Heretofore
there has been much confusion in the
selling of Kansas flour for export, as
all had to be sold by sample, and there
was often vexatious delay and dissat-
isfaction in filling orders. The new
company will guarantee every sale
made by grade. It is the intention to
establish agencies in the principal
cities of Europe, and also in some of
the larger cities of this country. AS
soon as the company is in working
order fight will be started for
equitable freight rates on flour in
comparison to rates on wheat.

which compels the appointment of old

has made a change in the schedule
that will be appreciated. The Worces-

play the eleven of the Friends School
at Providence, Nov. 2, but a change
has been made so that the Providence
team comes to Worcester to play the
game.
The management is also trying to
get on a game in Worcester with the
Harvard freshmen for Oct. rs. The
game Saturday with Boston English
High in this city is causing some
worry regarding a place where it can
be played The Worcester Oval was
secured for the game last spring but
it has been secured since then by the
Tech management for the game with
Amherst Aggies for Saturday. The
Worcester High boys are now looking
for a place where the game can be
played and it looks as if it will go to
the Worcester Academy campus or the
Holy Cross grounds. If the Worcester
Coliseum is put in shape for the game
this week, the contest may take place
there.

Comte de la VauIx, the French
Aeronaut Trying to Cross the
Mediterranean Sea in a Big
Balloon
SIGHTED ABOUT FIFTY
MILES FROM MARSEILLES
The Voyage Was Undertaken
With a View of Testing the
Possibility of Using Balloons
Between France, Corsica and
ALGERIA in Time of War

Paris, Oct. 1S.-Considerable interest
is manifested in the attempt of the
Comte de Ia Vaulx. the aeronaut, who
left Les Sablettes, near Toulon, last
night on a balloon voyage across the
Mediterranean, with view of testing
the possibility of using balloons be-
tween France, Corsica and Algeria in
time of war.
The success of the experiment has
been frequently endangered of late by
bitches in the arrangements. Comte de
LA Vaulx has received semi-official sup
port in the shape of subscriptions from
the ministers of marine and war. The
former had promised a cruiser as a
convoy and also lent the Initiating APP
paratus. A fortnight ago, however,
I'M. de Lanessan decided that the sea-
son was not propitious for the expert
ment and withdrew the cruiser and the
apparatus.
Comte de Ia Vaulx with difficulty re-
placed the apparatus Then portion
of the Balloon shed collapsed in a gale
and tore the balloon This damage was
repaired, but, a few days ago, another
accident delayed his departure.
Finally the aeronaut's luck changed.
Weather and wind improved; and, at
the last moment, M. de Lanessan re-
voked his decision and ordered the

took with him seventy-f1ve carrier pig

with the tricolor, carries accumulators
for electric signal lamps and an cleo
trio pump to draw up sea water for
ballast, whenever necessary, by tubes
immersed in the sea. Comte de la
Vaulx by system of floats intends to
keep about 40 feet above the water.
A dispatch from Toulon says a c@~

last evening from the balloon Of Comte
