The growing popularity of trained
animal shows is marked. IL the
public could know how much
whipping, cutting and cruelty is
practiced upon the pretty little po-
MES behind the scenes in training
them TO do their smart acts, there
might be some revul'ion of feeling
that would abate somewhat this
sentiment for such shows. The
acts Of cruelty are sometimes ex-
hibited in the ring, right in front
OF the audience. This is painful

affability of the new pontiff. A little

his arrival at the printing Office the boy
received an order of suspension signed
by the director himself because of his

to the orders of the maggiordomo. The
matter came to the ears Of Plus ",

NEW FIRE MASK.
Improved Helmet to BE Used by the
Paris Department.

A member of the Paris fire brigade
has invented new mask which Is
claimed to be great improvement
over all previous ones, says London
special to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t can be fixed to an ordinary helmet
and around the neck by straps. The
visor is of mica, protected by wire. In
front of the mouth two pipes open, one
furnishing fresh air and the other car
rying off what has been breathed. A
reservoir worn on the back as KNAPP
sack contains two compartments, one
holding two steel jars filled with COM
pressed air The other bag, which Is
called the lung and which is connected
by copper tubing with the steel jars
and special mechanism, admits air
only at nominal pressure to the lung,
whence it is conveyed to the mouth.
The mask leaves the ears uncovered.
An electric bell gives warning when
the supply of air is running out The
apparatus weighs only twelve kilo-
grams and will be put into immediate
use in the Paris fire brigade.

NOVEL AIR SHIP VOYAGE
Plans Of Two Frenchmen to
Cross Atlantic Ocean.
ENORMOUS BALLOON BEING BUILT.



Islands.
An attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean
in an air ship is about to be made By
Elisee Reclus, noted French geogra-
pher, and Louis Capazza, the inventor
of the parachute balloon and an aero
naut who distinguished himself a few
years ago by making II daring trip over
the Mediterranean sea from France to
Corsica, says the Paris correspondent
of the New York World.
V. Pecatte, the secretary Of the Auto
club of France, gives the following
facts about the projected balloon voy-
age, which will be made for the pur-
pose OF meteorological investigation.
The start will be made from the Ca
nary Islands about the middle of next
May. An enormous balloon is being
built for the trip-four times larger
than the largest ever made. 1t will
have a capacity of about 10000 cubic
feet and will be spherical in shape and
will be inflated with hydrogen gas.
The balloon will have two baskets.
The upper one will be furnished like a
cabin for sleeping; the lower one will
contain the necessary registers and
scientific instruments. The principal
accessory will be a nonsinkable boat
equipped with a sixty horse power mo-
tor and fuel for a twenty day run.
Reclus and Capazza will be accompa-
MED by two sailors.
1t is calculated that the probabilities
are that the balloon may land at one Of
three points-near the mouth of the
Amazon river, near the island Of Trini-
dad or in Yucatan, Mexico. From the
island of Palma, in the Canaries, the
distance to Para, Brazil, is 1900 miles,
to Trinidad 3,100, to Yucatan, crossing
the Caribbean sea, 4,90O. The highest
average speed Of the wind is reckoned
thirty. Making only the slowest speed
over the greatest distance. the time re-
quired will be six days and nineteen
hours. Going at the highest speed the
shortest distance the time required
will be two days and four hours.
The balloon will be provided with
means of changing Its course north or
south and may choose landing at any
point on the north coast Of South
America. In case of accident the bal
loonists can take refuge in the nom
sinkable boat, taking sufficient food
for six weeks. They have no fear Of
incurring the fate of Andre, who was
lost in the arctic regions. for the region
they seek is more quiet. the winds are
more certain and the balloon is ade-
Quate.
They prefer to start from the Cana
ries because II they went from the Mo-
rocco coast or Portugal there would be
great danger Of being caught in a con-
trary breeze and landed In the midst
of the desert of Sahara or in the Medi-
terranean.
The scheme is being taken up with
great enthusiasm by the Aero club Of
France and is exciting tremendous in
terest in ballooning circles all over Eu-
rope. James Gordon Bennett is credit
ed with contributing $4,000 to it.

The vessel will have an automobile
house and davits adapted for hoisting
such vehicles over the side. A COM
plete nursery, with play and sleeping
rooms. and a dark room for pbotogra-
ply will also be among the appoint
ments of the vessel The crew will con-
sist of seven officers and twenty-one
men. The hull is to be 206 feet over
ALL 172 feet on the water line, 81 feet
beam, - feet draft and % feet deep to
the upper deck. 1t is to be constructed
according to the government specitica
tions for auxiliary cruisers, entirely of
steel, with three decks. On the main
deck will be spacious drawing and din
ing rooms, the owners suit of bed
rooms and six bedrooms for guests,
library, women's room and smoking
room. Independent accommodations
will be made for different classes of the
crew.
In the hold will be cold storage
rooms, refrigerating machinery and
powder magazine, in addition TO regu-
lar ship dunnage. The machinery will
consist of two water tube boilers and
single triple expansion engine. Under
natural draft the vessel will go twelve
knots an hour. Six lifeboats will be
carried. The total cost will be $1S0,0O0.

NEW EDIBLE FUNGUS.

DR.. Cooke quoted high authority for
the statement that it had delicacy of
flavor superior to any omelet. The
