A NaviaabIe Balloon.

Henry Deutsch, having offered a prize
of 10000 francs 100000 for the first sue
cessful directing balloon, Santos Dumont
experimental with an invention of his
on the Champ de Mars. AS seen from
the Eiffel tower the result was eXtraor-
binary. The balloon obeyed the aero
naut's will, rising and sinking without
difficulty. The motor produced a noise
resembling that of an automobile.
NJ. Santos Dumont gives a very inter-
esting account of his journey. He left St.
Cloud al o'clock in the morning. Owing
to the trees there was only a small open
space that was available for his purpose.
Men held the guide ropes of the balloon
until it reached the Longchamps race
course, around which NJ. Dumont steered
his cigar-shaped balloon several times.
Subsequently he extended his opera
lions around the Bots de Boulogne He
wished then to return to St. Cloud, but
his assistants shouted 1.-THE Eiffel tower"
toward which he proceeded. When close
to the tower the steering apparatus be-
came disarranged and the balloon rushed
toward the lofty structure, threatening
to collide with it. NJ. Dumont managed
to steer the airship in a series of curves
toward the Trocadero, where he descend
ed to the earth and repaired the damage.
He then reascended and circled round the
Eiftel tower and then went back to his
starting point.
NJ. Anne, secretary of the Aero club,
who watched NJ Dumonts trip, is quoted
as saying that without doubt the problem
of aerial navigation has been solved.
The airship came to the earth as easily
and as lightly as bird.

How nice it is to be a farmer in the
hay field We wonder what those simple
city pleasure seekers would say if they
were called upon to get up at five o'clock
in the morning and milk dozen or more
cows, then shoulder the scythe and stay
out in the blazing sun with the thermom-
eter registering 80 degrees in the shade
at a. m. and constantly creeping up
until 112 degrees is registered on the
northern side of a building. Would it
be such fun then? And then drag them
selves up into the hay NOV with not a
breath of air, not a window open in the
barn, where the sweat would run down
their legs a stream. Would MT the four
inch starched collar hang limp on their
necks, and the four ply cuffs dangle?
Then at u O'Clock come on and eat a
hearty dinner and when that is finished

Two Offerings.

A lily was given for friendships sake,
Fragrant and slender and spotless
white;
Beauty and perfume and joy it brought,
A season brief of pure delight.
But torn from the source of life away,
The beautiful lily lived-one day.
A life was given for the dear Christ's
sake
To the hearts that mourn and the
worlds outcasts,
And it whispered hope unto hearts that
break,
And drew lost souls from their hope
less pasts.
A living life, and ever it grew
Drawing strength from the Source anew.
"A beautiful life with beautiful thoughts
And beautiful deeds that to earth were
given;
All we're seeds planted in others hearts,
But the blooms grew high on the gates
of heaven.
