ON the WINGS OF the WIND.
'G>GSG$G$G$G$G$t

The dangers Of ballooning, writes
Santos-Dumont in my Air Ships" are
confined usually to the landing. But
the sea Of air presents many kinds of
dangers, and sometimes the balloonist
encounters more than one on the same
voyage. In Nice. in 1900, he went up
from the Place Massena In a good
sized balloon, alone, intending to drift
a few hours amid the enchanting
scenery Of the mountains and the sea
His experiences were enough to make
most people content with solid earth

about a mile. Soon l noticed that

wrong. In spite Of my continuous an

being lifted by an enormous column OF
air rushing upward.
The barometer showed that I hed
reached still greater altitude, and
could now take account Of the fact BY
the way in which the land was disan
pearing under me. The upward-rush
ing column Of air continued to take
me to height Of almost two miles

When I began to see land, threw

some forty years ago the good peo-
pie Of these United States abolished
the slave trade. And Is 1t not time
that we abolish the trade slave? A
trade slave Is man or woman who
must go to his or her business early
in the morning and spend from IL to 16
hours each day waiting upon q lazy
and exacting public that could make
Its purchases In two-thirds the time
Ask any dealer why he keeps open SO
long and he gives only one excuse
Others do" It Is a feeble excuse.
Dealers could, II they would. stand to-
gether in this matter, and, without In
jury to any and with benefit to all,
establish @ work-week that would
emancipate their trade slaves. Few
things in life are more piteous than
the listless girls, dispirited young men
and gray-haired veterans Of the stores
whose lives are narrowed down to their
daily toll by brutally selfish public
To them the beauties Of nature exist
only in pictures. and the joys Of life
are but things of their dreams. Mil
lions are giving their whole lives for
just enough to eat and drink and wear.
And they are held to that hard lot, not
by any natural condition, but by the
thoughtless public that likes to take
its ease, to consult It's own time and
to domineer over its slaves. Vision
aries have many schemes for revolu-
tlonlZing the entire economic order,
but none for revolutionizlng human
nature. The great oppressive force,
the great source Of injustice, under
any system, lies in human nature. We
fill our mouths with phrases that have
no meaning and the heart must stand
vOiceless. Better than all the imagin-
ings of the centuries of absolute in
dustrtal equality to come Is the weekly

have redeemed 100000 acres Of land,
capable Of supporting population Of
100000. This announcement closes the
preliminary stage Of the reclamat ton
project, which, being slf-perpetuative
by the law which set 1t In motion, will
continue to operate as long as the
work Of irrigation is commercially
profitable. The object OF the reclama-
ton law is to make the government
the agent Of the people in turning over
the public domain. to small land own
ers on strictly business basis. The
settler can buy Of, the government the
reclaimed land at what 1t costs to re-
deem it. In this way the fund for irri-
CATION will not be exhausted. but will
remain intact for making more land
culhvable. The Eastern farmer iB not
taxed for the benefit Of the Western
farm, as would be the case IL the gov.
eminent sold the reclaimed land at
the old figure of Sf.2S per acre. The
new lands are to be sold to actual
settlers, and their purchase limited to
100 acres. So great is the fertility Of
irrigated land that the average farm
need not exceed forty or fifty acres to
support family In abundance. The
population being so much denser than
in other farming districts west Of the
Mississippi, life on the farm can give
way to life in the village, and the ele.
nlent Of loneliness which has hereto
fore made the vocation of farming re-
pugnant to many will be eliminated.
Great interest Is already being taken
in the reclamation projects by pros
pective homeseekers.
