FLIES IN THE
AIR LIKE A BIRD
Santos Dumont Makes a Sue
cessfuI Flight in His Ship.
He RUNS BEFORE THE STORM
DIRIGIBLE EXPERIMENTS ARE A
COMPLETE SUCCESS.

New York, Feb. 13.-Between show
ers this afternoon NJ. Santos-Dumont
made a fourth "sortie" from his aero
drome with his airship, cables the Mon
te Carlo correspondent of the Herald.
Al o'clock, the rain having ceased
for a moment, the aeronaut sailed
away in the direction of Cape Martin,
being preceded by two boats from the
Prince of Monaco's yacht, the Princess
Alice. and followed by a steam launch,
commanded by the prince.
Half way between the aerOdrome and
Cape Martin. the sky becoming cloudy
and the wind suddenly rising, the aero
naut whesled about and returned to
the Port D'HercuIe, where the occu-
pants Of the steam launch were able
te seize the guide rope at 2:55 p. m.
and conduct the airship near the aero
drome.
The maneuyers then became very diff
ficult Some of the suspension wires
had been broken and the prince had
his arm bruised by the guide rope
which weighed fifty kilogrammes
sweeping rapidly over the stern of the
steam launch. When the airship was
ten metres from shore the guide rope
was passed from the steam launch to
a small boat and then to WOTkmen on
the jetty.
This is the longest trip NJ. Santos
Dumont has accomplished. both as to
time and distance.
After the landing had been accom-
plished the prince received NJ. Santos
Dumont and the Due De Dino on board
his yacht and arranged with the aero
naut various plans for landing maneU-
yers during the next excursion. The
1 Due and Duchesse De BdsSanO and
Mile. Marie De BassanO. who, with the
Empress Eugene, had been watching
the operations. came to the aerodrome
10 present the aerOnaut with their
Fluctuations and those Of the empress.
Half an hour after the aeronaut's re-
/ turn 10 the aerodrome the wind became
/ violent. a heavy rain storm followed
4 ard the sea became very rough.

After His Tour of the World.


"When General Grant stopped at the
Palmer House in Chicago on his re-
turn from his tour of the world" said
u man who was there ut the time, the
steward was all but stupetied one noon
at seeing the eX-president slide in at
the kitchen door as though escaping
from some one.
81 am sorry TO trouble YOU he said,
as though asking n great favor, but
may l have little corned beef and
cabbage?
why. certainly the steward re
piled; but shan't / send it out TO you
in the dining roomY
mo he answered; III eat it right
here If you'll let me sit down
$50 place on the rough board table,
where the cook had been fixing the
meat, was cleared, and Grant drew up
stool and set To-, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and
cabbage was n caution. When he had
finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with Il funny sigh of satisfaction,
put one hand on the stewards shoulder
and said:
"'Young man, 1 don't suppose you
care for that at all, but if you had had
to eat what l have for the past few
months it would taste like dinner for
the gods. 1t tastes honey!
The eX-president had dined with
everybody from the queen down, but
that cabbage and corned beef doubt
less reminded him of the time when
he was not so well known, but proba-
bly, far happier-whcn people in st.
Louis called him captain when they
spoke TO him and bought the wood he
carried into town to SELL
