institution. He entered its walls as
an instructor in the days of small be-
ginnings; the close of his academic
career sees a majestic group OF
buildings standing ready to receive q
university endowed and equipped IN
a manner commensurate with the I'M
portance of the position it has come
to occupy, his labors having contrib
uted to this contamination in no
small degree.

sANTos-DUMoNT'S MlSHAP.
His DirigibIe Airship Gets Contrary
and Lands it's Master In the
Bay OF Monaco.

Monaco, Feb. 14.-M. Santos-Du
mont's airship became unmanageabie
yesterday, owing to imperfect lnfia
| ton and the entangling OF the guid'
rope with the screw. In his attempt
| to idisentangle the guide rope, the
aeronaut tilted the head of his bal
loon upward, until the airused in the
motor became spread.
Fearing an explosion. the inventor
pulled the, emergency cord. This
| ripped the envelope Of the balloon,
which at once began rapidly to de-
scend. Santos-Dumont did not lose
his head. He could easily be seen
from the shore watching the various
parts of the airship. At this time the
balloon slightly righted itself and the
lower part having become empty, the
airship dropped slantingly toward the
Pigeon Shooting ground which bor-
ders the bay. In front of these
grounds there lies reef of sharp
rocks and the excitement on shore
became intense as apprehensions
arose that Santos-Dumont would
drift on these rocks and be dashed to
pieces.
In the meanwhile the steam
launches in the bay were making to-
ward the spot where it was supposed
the balloon would fall. The first to
approach was the Princess Alice be-
longing to the Prince of Monaco,
and those on board seized the ball
looms guide rope, which somehow
had become disentangled. At the
moment this was done sharp crack
ing sound, made by the motor could
be heard and the screw was seen to
revolve. The balloon which was then
almost in the sea, rose slowly for a
few moments. But the motor stopped
again and the airship descended a
second time until Santos-Dumont was
immersed up to his armpits in the
water. This scene was witnessed with
intense excitement by the onlookers
ashore and afioat. The aeronaut,
with the pluck which has character
zed him throughout his dangerous
experiments, could be seen standing
up in his car gesticulating and shout
ing directions to those on the launch,
which was towing him toward the
Princess Alice. At five minutes of
three the end of the balloon burst
and the Prince of Monaco who was
on board the launch then gave orders
to rescue Santos-Dumont from his
perilous position. The launch came
alongside the half Debated balloon of
the airship which threatened at any
moment to smother Santos-Dumont.
The latter was half pulled and half
clambored over the gunwale into the
boat.
