HE SHOT THE HAT.
A Custom in Oklahoma That Saves
Time in a Sandstone.

"A whole lot of ideas with which we
grow up change when &C get into another
country" said a New York man who has
JUST come back from three months trir
in the Southwest. Now. one of the
things that we have heard of all our
lives is that if mans hat blows off he
is fool to run after it, for there is al
ways somebody around polite enough to
pick to up and hand it to the owner, if
he has to walk a block to do it.

ship, are to be commended for not risk
ing their lives in the early stages of the
investigation. d At the, Sun has recently
reported, the first balloon, is to be sent
aloft with only pigeons in the basket:
by an ingenious device it is hoped that
/ the birds when the balloon comes to
| land, will be automatically released
and win return to their homes. Other
devices may show the various direc-
lions in which the balloon travels and
give some information as to the coun-
try. For example, Photographs of the
landscape below will, if the machinery
works properly, be taken every few
minutes.
If the balloonistS were to go on the
trial trip the prospect of their return
ing would be about as dubious as ii
they should launch their airships over
the ocean. the eXpanses of the Sahara
where no man lives are very great. In
large parts of the desert there is GER
tainly little prospect that a man could
escape with his life, even if he reached
the surface with abundant supplies. He
could not make his way unaided out of
the sand wastes.
AS a rule, high and often violent winds
blow over the Sahara. This is one of the
plaques of that vast region, for the sand
storms almost daily obscure the sun even
in the most fertile and prosperous GASES.
These storms sft great quantities of sand
over the fertile depressions Watered from
underground sources where the GASES are
found; so that the inhabitants have to
make constant warfare upon the drifting
sands that threaten to swallow up their
grain and grass fields and groves of date
palms.
If these big wind storms. were persis-
tent in a given direction the problem of
ballooning over the Sahara would be
greatly simplitied. The fact is, however,
that the winds frequently change their
direction, often a number of times during
the day. 1t is not yet known whether,
above the surface winds, there may be
air movements persisting long in one di
rection and providing more or less GER
tain route for airships. The question re-
mains to be solved, it is hoped, by the in
vestigationS now in progress; but from
our present knowledge it would be simply
foolhardy for anyone to attempt to cross
the desert by balloon. His chance of
landing in some desolate region whence
he could not possibly escape would be
much greater than of reaching the fertile
and pOpulOuS Soudan

given to understand that no person
who has signed the petition will be
acceptable to Russia in any diplomatic
capacity, whether as ambassador or
only a consular agent. The notifica-

Russia has made II plain to Secre-

as a diplomatic representative to Rus
sia in any grade a man whose name
appears on the Kishineff petition this
government will BIO told that he is
persona non grata and asked to name
someone else. Under the rules of d.
plomacy Russia cannot be asked to
give any reasons for refusing to re-
ceive a diplomat appointed by this or

ment that the man selected is not &C.

of $4,000 Friday by two sharpers on

Norcross was inveigled into a room

$4,000 in a lottery drawing. He was
required to produce $4,000 to prove his
financial standing, and, going to the
Peoples bank, drew out that amount.
and placed it into a box designated by
the bunko men, which purported to.
contain the prize money.
When he opened the box at his home
he found that he had been swindled,
as the box contained only broken glass
and brown paper instead of money.
