Brazilian Advances No Theory
To Depart as Soon as Gus

Balloon.

From across the seas comes theory as
Santos -Dum9nt airsflip in st. Louis. The
strange mystery of the slashing Of the
balloon may find its solution in Paris.
Friends of the Brazilian captain of the
skies. according to cablegram to The
Republic from Paris believe that the de-
struction of the envelope of the ship was
due to the jealousy and envy of French
aeronauts. rather than to the wanton in
stincts of ar American maurader.
Their suspicion has fallen on one of the
hallooning fraternity in Paris. and even
now they are trying to ascertain If the
plan to damage the Santos-Dumont No. Z
and prevent a successful flight was not
arranged by certain members of the Aero
Club, whose public standing there is not
of the best, and who. moreover. have
many reasons for being tired of the men
ton of Santos-Dumont's name.
II can see no other explanation than
that the affair in St Louis was Matched in

The manufacturers of the gas envelope

ready in little more than fortnight.

save that it seems to be the act of an ir-
responsible crank. He disdains to reply
at any length to the insinuation that he
has any sub rosa knowledge of the circum-
stances of the slashing, or that he con-
nived at 1t.
His departure. which he expected to oc-
cur yesterday, was delayed because of the
delay in having the damaged gas bag

A NEW USE FOR DYNAMITE
Eastern orchardists Uses the Explos-
i've for Digging Holes for Trees
He Wishes to Plant.

The use OF dynamite to lift trees and
stumps out of the ground is quite COM
mon, but here is a man who uses it in
the planting of his trees, claiming that
it not only saves much labor, but i'm
proves the condition of the soil as we'll.
Writing in the Rural New Yorker he
says:
Get your trees in time, and heel them
in, never leaving the roots exposed to
sun or wind. When ready to set (hav-
ing trees heeled i'm, first dig the holes,
and, if the soil is stiff clay or hard pan,
l would use dynamite to make the holes,
as it thoroughly loosens up the soil and
makes fine bed for the roots. To use
dynamite, take one-fourth stick of SO
to GO per cent, with cap and fuse. Take
crowbar and make hole about 16 inches
deep. Drop in the one-fourth cartridge
with fuse. and kick dirt tight around
fuse at top of ground. Light the fuse
and light out 1t will cost only four or
five cents each for digging in this way,
and the soil will be in better filth; and it
is play instead of hard work. When
holes are ready, take one tree at time,
Trim the roots where they are mangled
and cut off enough of the top to balance.
Set tree in and work around the roots.
AS you fill up, tramp the soil, so that
when you are done the tree will be as
solid as a post"
