IMPRESSIONS OF AN AERONAUT.

pose we were to fall? But one soon
realizes how unlikely this is. and the
first dread passes off. From the ply
steal point of view. the balloon is as
solid in the air as a stone Is on the
earth. And then, If one feared all
possibilities, one would never dare
leave home for a walk.
Ones further impressions, taken al
together. are beyond description. To
the happiness of being in space and
above human pettiness is added a
strange calm never known on earth,
for without perceptible motion we
can speak and write as II sitting at
a table in room, and withal, the
most complete silence reigns su-
preme. 1 have never experienced the
slightest vertigo. 1t is stated that
one rarely has vertigo in balloons.
But Count Xavier Branicki, who was
with me on my first aerial voyage,
was taken with It as we started, and
it lasted some time.
Vertigo in a boloon is purely an
effect of the imagination. This is so
certain that it was precisely at the
tllIiC WHEEL my companion lldN o
had vertigo that is, when he looked
at the earth. that he was freed from
it. If the rail of the car had not
held him in, he could not have resist
ed letting himself fall to the earth.
Without ever having felt this verti-
go, 1 have had the vague desire to
throw myself over. Luckily, such
temptations are not irresistible, and /
hope that they are limited to aerial
navigation.
A little drama ending in a farce
marked our descent. Suddenly, in
the midst of a violent storm, my
aeronaut, looking eagerly down at a
forest above which we were passing,
drew from his bag an immense
Spanish knife, which he tied by a
steel chain to the net. What did
this mean? Had he gone mad and
did he want to kill himself, or us. or
else cut the car loose and plunge us
all into space?
We learned that the sole object of
the knife waste cut. at given mo-
ment, the Irvine which held the an
Choir cord. 1t is tied so that it may
not slip from the hand at the critical
time. The aeronaut, Eugene GODDARD,
was prudence personified. and was
a man of consummate ability; he in
variably came down in perfect safety.
and sometimes even succeeded in de-
posting the car gently in the hands
of peasants come up to help him
alight. This ascension of which 1 am
writing was his 904th. The joy of an
aerial voyage is like that felt in a
dream. when one is carried away in
the air. This resemblance has always
struck me. Only in ballooning. the
sensation of flying is not sufficiently
keen: one wishes to go faster, or at
least, to feel that one is going. Then.
the little wicker car which yields and
screams at the slightest movement
on our parts, causes uneasiness, and
its oscillations are disagreeable If not
dangerous. particularly when one is
hundreds of yards above the solid
earth. The danger is imaginary: but
ones first experience will surely be
accompanied by considerable emotion.
Without this. there would not be in
the world a form of locomotion COM
parable to aerial navigation.

The first impression felt after the

being. to which is added the Joy of
seeing ones self ABOVE other men,
with the pleasure of admiring an
immense and unexpected picture. AS
for the motion, absolutely none can
be felt. (The aeronaut. should be
careful to balance his aerial boat well
before lifting the anchor; he should
then rise very slowly, which method
Of ascensions is better than speed,
as well for the charm Of the view
as for the instruments. which must
gradually become accustomed to the
changing atmosphere.)
This is readily comprehensive. Our
feet rest on the bottom of the car,
and our center of gravity is in the
car. Physiologlcally speaking. we are
not suspended Moreover, no wind is
felt. One would think himself sta
tionary. The earth appears to sink
down; the friends who stood there
saying goodby dwindle in size; their
voices become scarcely audible then
they are lost. Then the aspect of
houses, streets. gardens and neigh
boring country becomes a fairy WIS.,
Ion. eclipsing the descriptions of the
Arabian Nights.
The works of man are quickly for
gotten before such a sight, just as
the splendors of architecture are
dimmed by the glories of the sky.
Soon from above all perspectives
change. and the populous city be-
comes simply an embossed map, like
those displayed in museums. A tiny
silver thread is passed. which is in
reality a broad river. The strangest
resemblances are then noticed. 1
have seen the palace of the Champ
de-Mars in Paris look like white
sausage, while the Louvre and the
neighboring church tower of St. Ger
main L'Auxerrois together look pre-
cisely like an oil cruet; tall columns
seem much bigger at the top than
at the base. But before long all
statues sink to the level of the earth.
Everything, indeed, changes when we
look down upon it.

Stoney has been missing from this
city since the latter part of last week.
The police. who We're looking every
where for him, were not able TO locate
the man they wanted. He had been
able to get some of his friends TO go
his bail. after he had been convicted
of the charge of assault with intent to
rob young lady on Second avenue
several weeks ago For short time
he lived peacefully with his Wife but a
week ago last Saturday night he went
after her with razor and she was
compelled to jump out of the second
story window at the Los Angeles house
on Third street. He kept out Of the
reach of the police, who were looking
for him all the while. The latter part
of last week he called on his wife and
beat her up In terrible manner. Since
that time the police have hunted
everywhere for the bad negro, and 1t
was a great surprise when they
learned of his dastardly acts at Belen.
Just after Stoney came here he bore a
good reputation and everyone thought
well of him. II seems as IL ne went to
the bad all at once.
