Bv Balloon TO Parls.

M. Jaques Faure. who recently made
a balloon trip from London to Paris in
six hours, an average speed Of nearly
thirty-five miles an hour, gives the fol-
lowing account Of the journey:
He left the Crystal Palace in London
at quarter to on February - with
his cousin. The balloon at once rose
to height of about 1900 feet and re-
manned there until the sea was reached
dt Hastings. They then dropped until
the guide rope touched the waves. and
scudded across the channel at sixty
miles an hour. At 10 O'clock, seeing
a lighthouse, they rose to a height Of
about a mile and soon passed Dieppe.
After this all that could be seen was
an occasional faint glimmer, until sud
denly the lights of Paris appeared on
the horizon.
They landed at St Denis, outside Of
Paris, little before a. m. The short
est rail and steamer route between
London and Paris requires nearly
eight hours.
In October. 1908, NJ. de la Vauix and
two other Frenchmen made balloon
trip from Paris to Hull in about sixteen
hours at speed of about twenty-five
miles an hour. Until M. Faure's re
cent performance. this was the record
With balloons travelling at the rate Of

That should BE tho Motto OF Every
American Newspaper.
At the ninteenth annual dinner of the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation, held at the Waldorf-Astorla,
New York, with 450 present, in re-
sponse to the toast. THE American
Newspaper" Colonel George Harvey
said that continued advance by news
papers In absolute and unqualified free
dom of expression would make the
American Press second only to Chris
tianity among the agencies for the up
lifting of humanity.
Colonel Harvey continued:
"In all other lines Of industrial de-
velopment specialization has become
the keynote OF endeavor. That is has
crept into the making Of newspaperse
to very considerable degree there can
be no doubt. Each great metropolitan
newspaper has come to be recognized
as having a special field, but has this
tendency, whether or not desirable, yet
approached the limit Of effectiveness? =?
How many newspapers from the mere
force of tradition continue to print
columns of inadequate and unrecog-
nized information regarding specific
subjects which are never read by per-
sons who, seeking that information, in
variably turn to a journal which sup
plies it ina systematic and thorough
manner.
ut is undoubtedly the province of the
American journal to expose and to help
to remedy public abuses, but it was
once said more or less truthfully that
there can be too much of a good thing.
In a broader sense, has the American
newspaper kept pace with that great
industrial development which has be-
come a marvel for history? The jour
nalist, in position of responsibility,
unwilling to hazard his fortune, his
hope of preferment, upon his instinct
to perceive the right, and upon his faith
in the recognition of truth by his con.
stituency, is disgrace to his profes.
sion. To lead, not to follow, be the
motto. Absolute and unqualified free
dom of expression will not only irresist
ably lift the profession itself to the
place where it belongs, but will just a:
surely confer the greatest good upor
the greatest number, and make thu
American newspaper second only t
Christianity among Gods agencies fol
the uplifting Of humanity" -

When she gets home again, this
woman, who conforms to the prevail
