HOLES IN THE AIR
Invisible Pitfalls With Which AirshipS
Have TO Contend

Some very terrible accidents may lie
expected to befall aerial navigators
should airships ever become sufficient
ly perfected to make this species of
travel at all common owing to the fact.
we'll known to all aeronauts, that there
exist in the earth's atmosphere at GER
tain places and under certain condi-
tions veritable holes or pits of vast
depth. An airship sailing unwittingly
into one of these aerial craters would
sink with far more certainty and far
greater swiftness than would leaden
ship of the same size and shape in an
ocean Of water.
Accidents Of this nature have actu-
ally happened TO aeronauts in the past,
but Of course the ordinary balloon is
not nearly so much affected by the
sudden descent as an airship would be.
Nevertheless an experience of the kind
is sufficiently disconcerting even to the
stoutest hearts and strongest nerves.
NJ. Tissandier, ballooning with two
friends above the town of Vincennes,
some years ago, happened on one Of
these invisible air holes which proved
to be over mile in depth, the balloon
falling that distance with such in
credible rapidity that the earth ap-
peared to be rushing up to meet them
with the speed of an express train, and
the bags of ballast thrown out by the
alarmed travellers fell not downward,
as might have been expected, but up
ward. Luckily a denser stratum Of air,
answering to the bottom Of the pit in
question, was encountered when they
were few hundred feet from the
ground. and the downward rush Of the
balloon was checked as if by contact
with a pneumatic cushion.-Pearson's

who was so brutally assaulted in q
woods near here last week. has suffi-
.ciently recovered as to be able to be
out. He entered suit before Squire
Tyre for damages against his assail-
ants for assault and battery. There
were seven boys implicated, namely:
Dan Galloway, Lee German, William
Jones, Grover Phillips, Howard Ellis,
Walter Dunn and Clarence Calhoun.
The case, however, was amicably set
tied by paying twenty dollars to Mr..
Nickerson and cost of suit.
No new cases of smallpox have de-

A sndden NInrrinre.

Let me tell you" says a Missouri
correspondent Of the Kansas City
journal. "about a marriage that hap
pened in Saline county in 1856. The
ceremony was performed by Elder Nc
Garvey. The groom was man named
Johnsoh-I forget his first name-and,
being mighty nervous about the ap-
preaching ceremony, he went to Nc
Garvey and requested that he make it
as short as possible and received the
minister's assurance that lie would do
so. Mr.. Johnson never forgot that
night as he marched down with his
bride on his arm and was met by the
minister at the foot of the stairs. AS
soon as they reached the bottom step
McGarvey stretched out his hands and
said, You're married. The suddenness
of it took the groom's breath away,
and he turned to his best man and
shouted. Henry. am l marriedY This
marriage ceremony didn't take over
ten seconds"

The sensItire Tortolse.

Few animals seem more impassiye
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched its movements know that
the creature is really very sensitive.
A few drops of rain will send it home
with all speed. Even the distant ap-
proach of a shower makes it uneasy.
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed "as much solicitude
about the rain as a lady dressed in all
her best attire"
The bright light of the sun seems
especially grateful to tortoises. They
rarely stir out at night, and the ap-
proach Of winter drives them into their
retreats. This physical sensitiveness
shows their temperament TO be less
sluggish than is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognize
persons and remembers those who feed
1t, instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.

KENT DEMOCRATS WILL WAIT
Think II IInwiSe 70 Swap Horses in Mid
Stream
Special 10 the Evening Journal.

Specldi 70 the ENenluB JOufndl.
Dover, July 23.-The Kent County
Democratic Committee has decided not
TO issue the call for a primary election
for the State Convention, fixed for Sep
tember 13. The committeeman think,
after advising with each other. that
this action would be unwise, inasmuch
as the county convention Of August 5
will name a new County Committee to
finish the campaign work Of the year.
The business of naming new Ex-
ecutive Committee in the midst of a
hot campaign and thus swapping
horses in midstream. was the reason
that prompted the Kent and Sussex
Democrats to urge an early State Con-
vention. It was hoped to get the new
committees thoroughly familiar
with the work by the time the
campaign was fairly under way. and
mot to handicap the success of the
ticket by revolutionizing the personnel
of the Executive Committee at as late
day as September 13. Prominent
Kent county Democrats argue vigor-
ously that the New Castle county pri-
mary election law prohibiting a man
from voting at primary until he is
registered Is unconstitutional.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-
Special TO the Evenlng Journal.

Dover, July 23.-The announcement
that Andrew j. Lynch, a well-known
young Democratic editor and lawyer
of Georgetown, will become a candi-
date for the Democratic congressional
nomination, has somewhat complicated
matters in Democratic circles. II was
believed that Edward ID. Heaine, cOun-
ty chairman of Sussex, would receive
the unanimous endorsement OF his
county, as he did two years ago. and
would make an excellent showing in the
State convention.
Alexander NJ. Daily, the Dover law
yer. who withdrew from the convention
two years ago. is being urged to again
enter the race this year, in whioIh event
matters would still further be tangled.
With the fight in New Castle county to
elect former Congressman l.. Irving
Handy of Newark, and the contests in
the two lower counties, the coming
Democratic State convention doubtless
will be a stirring gathering.
