From Philadelphia North American:
France In preparing To explore the dcs-
ert Of Sahara by means Of dirigibIe bal
looms. Experiments preparatory To
the expedition have alres been made
and within n short time scientists and
explorers will set out from Algiers.
and. taking afvant @ Of the trade
winds. will sail across the vast expanse
of sands TO the Niger.
Anglo Saxons have n contempt for
the French sporting blood. because the
FreBchman does not go In for ball
games and athletic contests. But the
race that brought the 7OimiIc-an- hour
automobile to perfection. that can cross
the Mediterranean In n submarine boat.
and can sail round the EifYel tower in
a ballon. has sporting instincts that
cannot be ignored.
II is these same sporting ideas OF the
French that are developing Algeria.
There In probably no country In the
world where automobiljug presents
such delights. There are s.iIG miles
Of macadam roads in splendid condi-
ton. running through mountain and
valley. and 80 perfectly laid oGi that
nowhere is the grade heavier than s
per cent. The auto has the right Of
way In Algeria. Natives. live stock
and even regiments OF soldiers line up
nj the side OF the road and let the ina
chimes go by.
Having conqured all the problems Of
nntomohling in Algeria, the French
have turned their attention to the use
Of dirigible balloons for the explora-
tIon Of the desert OF Sahara There In
q steady current of air blowing from
the northeast TO the southeast across
the sand waste all summer. and as the
distance from Tunis to the Niver river
In only 1.5O0 miles. II Ia believed that
this trade wind can he utilized to main
tain steady commerce between the
points.
In planning for this line French SCI
eiitists and sportsmen will unite In the
work. A number Of unnamed bal
looms will be liberated. and as soon rs
any Of these reach the Niger dirigible
balloons OF the Santos Dumont type
will be sent up. These will be manned
by the most expert aeronants and cx-
plorers that the French government
can secure.
Short trips will he taken to decide on
the volume Of gas and the amount Of
ballast needed. and observations on the
direction and force OF the wind will be
made.
when this has been done number
Of balloons will start over the route de-
termined on. and Il Is expected that
in three days the distance between the
two points can be covered.

When wit Meets wit.

Bangs is the proud possessor Of three
young sons. the eldest Of whom bids
fair TO rival his famous father In wit.
The other day Mr.. Bangs took the three
boys out for long tramp. miscaleulat-
ed the distance and found he was tiring
the youngsters out. though no. one OF
them would confess H. At this mo-
ment they came To pretty difiicult hill.
II occurred to Mr.. Bangs To tighten the
boys labors by stirring their imagina-
tions. no he pretended the hill was San
Juan and they were to charge mp to
the top. All went well Till the eldest
boy stopped In the middle OF the rush
TO blow his nose.

soldier stopping during charge to blow

Twenty-Five clerks In the employ Of
the Chicago Telephone Co. are Just
beginning TO fnd the bottom Of worri-
some stacks Of paper slips and order
blanks showcred down upon them by
itlnerant nat dwcllers and business
concerns who participated In Chicago's
great Spectacular demonstration. NOV
ing day.
For three or four weeks notices of
changes in the location OF telephones
have been pouring into the offices Of
the company -sith overwhelming regu-
larity. until II was found necessary TO
put rs men and young women at work
sorting them out and classifying them
to prevent chaos.
II iscstimated that fully 1900 tele-
phones will have to be changed before
those infected by the moving germ get
settled for another year. This does not
seem like such q surprisingly large
number, but when the fact that all Of
the work must be done In less than
month is considered II becomes evident
that the telephone man Is pretty
busy fellow along about May 1.
To change this number OF telephones
and circumvent the scores Of trouble
some incidents that are bound TO crop
out In such a general shift of location,
Is a problem that requires not q little
cool calculation and untiring observa-
tion. In the first place. the services Ut
a patron OF the company cannot be cut

In moving plans occurs At the last mo-
ment, and Il In the business OF the
telephone man to keep track OF all
these little Incidents and to know
exactly when the old line should be cut
out and the new one opened for ser
vice. This work In many times compli-
Gated by the fact that patrons refuse to
allow their old number to be changed,
so that often the same number appears
twice, thus adding to the confusion.
The general exodus would not result
In such great confusion II Il were not
for the fact that every one is In .
hurry and wants o Telephone In the old
location as long as he remains there.
and another in the new one when he
moves In. The work was considerably
increased this year by the fact that
several big Office buildings were open
ed on May 1, thus easily doubling the
regular labor usually encountered at
this time Of the year.
In order to keep up with the change
Of location orders this year force OF
$50 Iinemen and telephone experts
were put to work. and night and day
they have been struggling 10 catch mp
with the rapidly moving nat dwellers
and building tenants. II will be week
