Latest Trust is
One in Expert
Ball00nists,

sions. There are said to be only three
hrst-class balloon builders in the coun-
try. Two of these are in Illinois and
La Thoma is one of them. He is also
something of genius and has been
inventing various appliances for safe
guarding men and women who drop
through space hanging to parachutes.
The speed of the parachute depends
he has figured out table for the reg
ulation Of parachute speed. He has in
vented a mechanical contrivance for
releasing the parachute from the bal
loon instead of depending on slip
knot He has also invented mechan-
ism by which, on pressing spring the
parachute must open. With this appli-
ance it is possible to drop like a shot
for thousand feet with closed para
chute, open it within 200 feet of the
earth and alight safely, feat we'll
calculated to give the spectators plen-
ty of thrill for their money. The trust
has Set its brains to work inventing
new acts also, and the coming season
promises several daring novelties. One
of these will be balloon and a para
chute race. Two balloons will start
heavenward together. When they are
up 1000 feet or more a gun will be
fired on the earth. The two aeronauts
will release their parachutes and start
a race to the ground. In another act
man and woman will ascend on a
single balloon. They will drop in para
chutes with an interval of fifteen Sec
onds between them, making a sort of
tandem race to the earth. A third
novelty provides race between a
woman and monkey. After cutting
the monkey loose in a parachute the
woman will release herself 1t was Mr..
Howse who made such a hit last year
by the use of monkeys in ballooning,
and other measures are to be taken
for their safety. Thus the balloon
trust will begin its career with sixteen
aeronauts, dozen monkeys, stock of
new balloons and nine thrilling acts.

No other European power holds the
relations to Manchuria, now, apparent
ly, the storm center of the east, that
Russia does. She has an Asian empire
twice the size of the United States,
with no good port. The whole pres
sure of this vast territory forces her in
evitably toward the open sea; and the
open sea she can reach by no other
way than by driving wedge through
the dominions of her neighbor, Man
churia. There is certain poetical JUS
tice in this which no other European
power can claim with regard to the far
east, says The American Monthly. For
the ancestors of the same Manchurians
and their neighbors, the Mongols, for
centuries harried and devastated the
whole of Russia, burning Moscow and
leaving the whole country in ruins.
They carried away numberless Russian
women captive so that there is large
admixture of Russian blood in the
veins of these Asiatics. The Russians
may, therefore, claim that their pres
ent position in Manchuria is merely
just reprisal, and that the pressure
they are eXerting or may exert on
Manchuria is trife light as air when
compared to the dire desolation
wrought by the Mongols on medieval
RUSSIA desolation which has left
a permanent tinge of gloom and sad
ness on the spirit, the thought, and the
art of the Russian race. Russia alb
solutely requires an outlet to her Asian
dominions, and in forcing this outlet

Gen. Funston's achievement in cap
turing Aguinaldo recalls earlier at
tempts made by officers of other armies
to make prisoners of the leaders of the
hostile forces. The first attempt at
Selling a general was never carried
out; it involved too many persons, and
the plotters engaged in it worked from
the inside, not from without, as Fun
ston did, and their plans were over
heard. This was the attempt in June,
1777 to seize Washington in New
York; the plan was changed later to an
attempt to poison him. The plans of
the conspirators were overheard by a
woman, who disclosed them to the Am
erican authorities, and as result the
men implicated were captured and
punished, one of them, Private Thomas
Hickey, of Washington's bodyguard,
being hanged.
After Arnold's treason and his flight
to the British the Americans made an
attempt to seize MIN. The undertaking
was like Gen. Funston's exploit. Ser
geant Champe of Lees legion, was the
principal actor in the scheme. His plan
was known only to the chief in COM
mand; so when he deserted to the Brit
ish his late comrades fired upon him
and he reached the enemy's lines under
a fire of bullets, narrowly escaping
with his life. This was an excellent
introduction to the British and Champe
was received with open arms. But he
was unsuccessful; Arnold moved his
headquarters the day on which Champs
had arranged to capture him, and
Champe had finally to desert from the
English and return, again under fire,
to our lines. When Washington wish
ed soon after to promote him for his

gallantry he found that Champe had
died of disease.
The capture of the British general,
Prescott, in July, 1877, was perhaps the
first successful attempt of the kind.
Gen. Prescott commanded the British
forces in Newport, R. l., and went for
the summer to fine house some five
miles out of the city. Col. William Bar
ton, knowing this, determined to cap
ture him, if possible, and on July TO-,
1777, with forty-one comrades, rowed
across from Warwick Point, on the
west shore of Narragansett bay, and
reached the house undiscovered. The
door of the house was burst in by a
negro, who used his head as battering
ram; Prescott was asleep and awoke
to find himself prisoner. He was not
allowed to dress, but in his cloak, with
captor carrying his clothes, was fore
ed to the boat and taken within the
American lines and then to Washing
toms headquarters in New Jersey. He
was exchanged later
The successful capture of Gen.
Stoughton by Mosby and his rangers
in March, 1868, was the result of a
carefully made plan. Mosby, with
twenty-nine men, entered Fairfax
court house, passing themselves off as
belonging to the Fifth New York cav
airy, and while some of the band at
tempted to capture Col. Wyndham, the
leader went to the house where the
general was sound asleep. At the
name of Mosby Gen. Stoughton sat up
in in bed. wide awake in an instant.
Have you got him." he asked. Hes
got you," replied Mosby. The prisoner
was taken to Gen. Fitzhugh Lees head

NOW there is trust in balloonists.
Why not? The supply is small and
the demand large. These are the ideal
conditions for monopoly. Paul D..
HoWse saw the chance and seized it.
He is Chicago newspaper man, quick
to spot good thing and ready for a
hazard. He was connected with an
amusement park last year and had
much to do with the engagement of
aeronauts. He found most of them
an irresponsible class. They were
careless about keeping their dates.
sometimes they were late, sometimes
they failed to report at all. They were
negligent about their apparatus.
Sometimes the balloon was old enough
to be in constant danger of bursting,
sometimes the attachments were out
OF condition, threatening accidents.
Between the disappointments and the
risks of killing aeronauts Mr.. Howse
grew haggard, nervous and melancholy.
In brooding over this state of things
an idea came to him. Why not take
the pick of the balloonists of the coun-
try, put them under contract and pro-
vide them with new balloons equipped
with all the safety devices that could
be invented? The more he thought of
it the better it seemed to him. He
consulted with Harry La Thoma, a
veteran aeronaut of nineteen years. ex-
perience, with a record of 200 ascen-
sions without scratch. La Thoma
said: That's great scheme. I'll go
you" They interested some capital,
and the balloon trust was born. The
trust Immediately started out to get
corner on the sober, reliable, expert
aeronauts in the country. 1t already
has sixteen of them under contract.
Six are women, one of whom is an
Indian. There is an Independent aero
naut here and there, but the trust has
secured the greatest aggregation of
sky-scraping dare-devils ever brought
together in one band. Managers of
