The two games which were to have

last Saturday and Sunday did not
materialize. The Bronchos showed up

Of the Bronchos kicked over the traces
when he realized that the Merchants"
were strongly lined up, and refused to
play, claiming he had contracted to
play an all Versailles aggregation. Man

To the Pole by Balloon.
From tho New York Sun.


It was scarcely thought that any one
would tempt fate in the same way that
Andree did, only eight years after that dar-
ing aeronaut went up into the arctic sky
and was never heard of again. A French
m an named Marcillac. however. is now pre-
pairing to make an air voyage to the north
pole. He Is as confident of success as An
dree was: and the Americans who met An
dree In 1895 well remember how sure he
was that the journey could be made and
that he was the man to make It.
Marcillac has great faith in the improve
ments in aerial navigation since the Andree
tragedy No one denies that airships are
now rather under control and that some
improvements have been made In their
manufacture and equipment but there is
one great difficulty in arctic balloontng. and
nobody knows how to overcome 1t.
When Peary made his journeys on the
inland ice Of Greenland, mile above the
Bea, he noticed that In the mornings his
tent poles and the stakes to which his dogs
were tied were covered on the windward
side with frost an inch thick. The humid
Ice particles found lodgment on anything
In their path. An airship spreads q large
expanse OF cloth, and no means have yet
been found to prevent excessive weight due
to the accumulation OF ice or frost on this
surface. 1t Is thought likely that this was
the cause OF Andree's destruction. As long
as there Is no remedy for this impediment
there is little prospect of successful air nayi-
cation in the polar regions.

Tho Zambesi Bridge.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The Zambesi bridge. or the Victoria Falls
bridge. as 1t Is variously called, Is a record
bridge in many respects. 1t is the highest
-420 feet-in the world. and 1t was built
In the shortest time recorded for such q,
work. viz. nineteen weeks. Sir Charles
Metcalfe also claimed that no other bridge
of Its size and capacity had ever been built
30 cheaply. The total length of the bridge
Is $50 feet. Of which the central span ac-
counts for 500 feet between the pin cen-
ters on the two banks, the balance being
made up of the two short spans. The great
center span rises in a graceful parabolic
arch to the center, the spring of which
starts from the bases of the main booms.
The vertical rise to the crown Is 90 feet
The main span Is made Of twenty bays each
twenty-five feet long. and lateral stability
was secured by a Wide spread at the feet
OF the bridge. At the rail level the distance
between girder centers is n feet O inches,
whereas at the bases the width between
pin centers is fifty feet. The roadway pro-
Jects beyond the side girders so as to allow
q clear thirty feet between parapets The
bridge is OF steel. and as 1t is coated with
gray paint Il Is rendered as invisible as
possible against the cloud OF spray-"the
smoke that sounds as the natives call it,
that rises from the falls. and the undue
obtrusfon on the landscape which so many
feared has thus been obviated.

HOPE FOR SUCCESS.
Republicans of Prince George County
Looking Up.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HYATTSVILbE, Md, October 2S.-Re-
publicans of Prince George county are
feeling more hopeful OF success than they
did earlier in the campaign. Develop
ments during the past few days have been
such that the candidates feel that victory
Is now certain. Francis 8. Carmody, can
didate for the state senate. has received
many encouraging messages lately. and he
feels certain that the ticket will be elected.
Last night he received word from Secre-
tary Bonaparte that he will be here Tues
day night to address a public meeting.
Arrangements had been made for the hold
ing of a big rally Thursday night. but an
Secretary Bonaparte had another engage
ment for that night a change had to be
made. The Secretary is known as one OF
the leading orators of the state, and II Is
believed he will be greeted by an immense
crowd of voters. People in Hyattsville
are taking more interest in politics this
year than usual. II Is known that some of
the influential democrats here are opposed
to the Poe amendment and their opposition
to II, the republicans claim, will result in
giving the republican ticket many demo-
cratic votes.

It Is an interesting scientific fact, and
one not generally known. that nothing that
falls from the mouth of the deepest min
ing shaft in the world ever reaches the bot
tom. This has been demonstrated at the
famous Red Jacket shaft of the Big Calu-
met and Hecla copper mine at Calumet.
The article, no matter what shape or size
1t may be. is invariably found clinging to

make a careful test Of the apparent phe-
nomenon. 1t was decided best to use a
small but heavy spherical body, and a
marble tied to thread was suspended

the flame of candle. The marble fell,

The same would be the case were a man
to fall into the shaft. While 1t would mean

iege or Mines are now engaged in expert
ments with q view to developing data as
to the thickness Of the earth's crust 1t is
not hoped to solve the perplexing problem
Of the distribution Of the earth's matter,
but 1t Is hoped to add to the Information
collected concerning it.
To this end the Red Jacket shaft presents
advantages possessed by no other place in
the universe. The deep shafts in other
parts of the country and In foreign lands
generally begin at an altitude and end
above or very little below the sea level,
whereas at the Calumet mine the Red
Jacket shaft starts in a comparatively low
altitude and pierces the earth's crust deeper
and further below the ocean level than any
other in existence. 1t Is hoped within a
year to be able to give some intelligent In
formation regarding the Investigations.
