the New York World.
1t may be- The public safety on

it. The old Roman roads run straight,
seldom coming near a town en- route.
What could be better?
Many of the public roads can no
longer be used by pedestrians, espe-
cially by old persons or children, by
riders and drivers of horses, or by BIZ
cyclists, without mourning risk.
A remonstrance on behalf of ami
mails has also been raised, according
to United States Consul Hamm OF
Hull. In a recent letter to the presi-
dent of the automobile club, Mr.. F. E.
Pirkis, chairman of the National Ca
nine Defense league, enters on be-
half of his committee a strong pro-
test against the terrible slaughter
of dogs. "A rather well known auto

OUT
The result of this agitation of the
subject is proposition from some
members of the Roads Improvement
association to repair and adapt the
old Roman roads to the requirements
of motor car and cycle traffic and
subcommittee was appointed to con-
slider whether it would be possible to
make use of these ancient highways
(Which in many cases are almost en-
tirely disused.)
In the event of an invasion of Eng
land motor wagons will be much used,
and in that case direct roads like
these old Roman ways would obvious
1y be an immense advantage.

PoIiceman's Laugh Stops Show

One Kansas City policeman cannot
go to the theaters because he laughs
so long and loud at every joke that
he stops the performance. He was put
on beat where his duty took him in

cry evening, and he asked to be
changed, because he said the theater
people wouldn't let him stay inside,

Before he was married he took his
sweetheart to a show once, but at the

mentioned with a balloonist a few
hundred feet in the air with a half
dozen terrified passengers. No man
can tell how an ascent in a balloon is
going to affect him until he tries it.
1 have known men brave in the face
of every danger under the sun lose
nerve when the earth and sea spread
beneath them as a map.
In moments of terror persons will
try to jump from a balloon 900 feet
or more above the earth as readily as
they will from a three-story window
in fire panic. They seem to lose all
idea of distance or consequences.
There is scarcely a balloonist, 1 ven
ture to say, who has not undergone
a terrible ordeal of this sort. That
is why aeronauts are careful whom
they take up with them.

as usual. A spasm of reform had
struck Chicago, and the place had
been pulled. The man tried to enter
the door, but failed. He walked out
into the street and gazed up inquir-
ingly at the closed windows.
Then he walked back to the door,
tried it again, but it would not open,
so he drew his pay envelope from his
pocket, showed it under the door, and
walked calmly down the street.

10 tdlk ABOUT uyluS macnlneS TO
Count de la Vaux, is like waving a
red rag to a bull. As dirigible ba-
Ioonist he holds the worlds record
for distance and speed. But he has
no use for flying machines, so called,
with view to their commercial devel-
opment, in spite of all the experiments
Of Santos Dumont, Prof. Langley and
others to the contrary.
'In the very, very, very. very far
distant future" said the Count, with
a cresendo accent on the very and
shoulder shrug that suggested an
eternity. there may be flying ma
chimes. but not now, not now
With the Count ba1looning is some
thing more than fad. He started his
aerial exploits as a faddist in 1898.
Everybody was going in for motor We
hfcles, SO he decided to try something
else. He was just back from two
years residence among the savages
of Patagonia. He had written a sue
cessful book of his adventures, which
had been praised by the French Acad-
emy-a distinctive honor. The, treas
ures of his exile-anthropologic
ethnographical and geological-had
been stored in the official museum of
Paris for a wondering world to look
at and classify. One evening he went
to an aerodrome with friend, a mem
Der of the Aero club, on the Place de
Ia Concorde.
1--WE will have our coffee up above"
said the friend.
The Counts mind was fresh for new
ideas. A flight of 500 yards or so
above the earth for an after-dinner
smoke had charm for him Thence
forward he was an avowed balloonist.
He never stopped until he had be-
come vice president of the Aero club,
and admittedly the champion aeros-
tat of the world. He broke all records
with a balloon journey from Paris to
the Province of Warsaw, in Russia.
He slept in the clouds at a tempera-
ture of II degrees below zero Reau-
muir (Which is much colder than Fab
renheit) when his comrade had to
hammer the soles of his feet with a
club to keep him from sleeping too
long and freezing to death. He jour
neyed through the air 1,24O miles in
a little more than thirty-five hours. In
his comparatively brief career as an
aeronaut he has travelled more than
$4,000 miles through the clouds, has
spent in all forty-one days in the air,
and has made 1873 ascents without an
accident-so he may be quoted as an
authority on ballooning. AS such he
is no advocate of the flying machine.
The Count crossed the continent of
North America once, while en- route to
the Far East for the French govern
ment, but until he landed last week he
had no opportunity to linger at the
gateway of the uwestern continent.
He did not bring balloon with him,
and says he is sorry for it. He would
like to convince rich young Amerj-
cans who go in for racing automo-
biles as an expensive sport that there
is far more fun and much less danger
in racing balloons.
The Counts latest literary produc-
ton. in French, is an imaginary
round the-world journey in an airship,
something after the Jules Verne or
der of literature. 1t has pleased him
to regard America as a benighted
country in the matter of aerial travel.
In fiction the Count does not hesitate
to deal with transatlantic journeys in
a dirigib1e balloon. In fact, he shakes

King of Belgium Paid for One Rose,
but Took Tray.
George Herbert Head of Cam
bridge is in America as a defender of
King Leopold's policy in the Congo
Free State. Mr.. Head, the other day,
was talking to a number of men about
King Leopo1ds unselfish handling of
the Congo Free Site revenues, when
a Chicagoan said:
81 tell you what it is, Leopold is
clever. You can't get the best of him.
This is what 1 saw happen to him
in Paris at bazaar. A little girl, a
flower girl, the daughter of duchess,
extended to him a small silver tray
on which boutonniere lay. 1t was
one of those bazaars where they
gouge you right and left, where, if you
don't watch out, you depart without
cab fare home.
Your Majesty said the little girl,
will you buy a f1ower?'
eyes, my child said King Leopold
How much?'
1.-THE flower girl had been coached
beforehand, and she replied:
1.-Two hundred and fifty francs
Two hundred and fifty francs
that's $50-for a small rosei 1t was
little too extortionate. King Leo
pold handed over the money, though.
Then he took the flower and put it in
his buttonhole and, taking the tray
also, he slipped it into his capacious
pocket and hurried off,
