ing the voice.
The topics of conversation are often of very
trivial nature, and only few people, compara-
lively speaking, appear to be able to talk Of
deep subjects. You are voted "an awfully
learned person" perhaps IAN awful bore" il
you introduce anything more profound than
sports, dancing, musical plays, and gossip about
your neighbors.
Another important point in the modern con-
versation is 20 speak of your knship or friend
ship with anyone who has handle to his or her
name, or has in any way made himself or her
self known. If you cannot actually claim to be
relative friend you certainly know some
one who has at least been introduced to that ex-
alted parsonage and il is quite the proper thing
to speak about it and dilate ON the fact that you
quite expect TO be introduced at the earliest
opportunity OF course, the spirit Of exaggera
tion is apt to insnuate itself into this topic also
and to guileless ignorance the person in question
is made to appear 10 be higher up the ladder

The fittings OF the up-to-date balloon car, even
when women passengers are to be taken, are OF
necessity meagre. In many cars the occupants
have only just room to stand up in, though some
of the bigger are provided as a special lux
ury with very narrow wooden seat running
across one side for the benefit Of feminine voy-
ayers. Most men elect to stanu. A dozen or
more bags of ballast-flled with finely sifted sand
are placed in the bottom of the car.
1t was chiefly in order that the Princess al
Teano and her friend, Miss Granville might see
what experienced aeronauts declare to be one of
the most impressive of all sights from balloon

So still, indeed is it to the occupants of the
car that the feminine aeronaut does not even
trouble to tie motor veil around her hat.
Balooning has always held an extraordinary
fascination for women from the time of its in
auguration, early in 1852. 1t was chiefly the
mother wit of a feminine bystander who CHANGED

brothers Montgolfer and the weak point
that doomed their earlier efforts to failure which

complained that their view when ballooning was

coiffures of their fair companions.

- getting more uppish than ever and at
IVRHM the present moment all over the world
society people are seeking the exclusive
ness of the upper atmosphere. Bal
looming seems to have followed on the trail Of
sutomobiling. The thirst for adventure has been
whetted by the thrills and excitements of seorch-
ing over the surface of the earth in wi7dsplit-
ting automobile. Ballooning certainly fills the
bill where adventure 70 desired. Heart-stirring
exoitement commences with the very start and
in maintained unremittingly to the finish, The
launch into the air is intense moment followed
by the sensation of seeing the great foostool rap

hair raising experiences are to be met with For

pidity In the latter instance to the inexperi

the car and the earth.
There is rapid change of conditions often met
with in the aerial fight An ascent made in a
snow storm presents a curious sight. After the
airship has started the snow fakes to
shoot by as though hurled from a can

burst Of sunshine and the car has emerged from

are In a warm, delightful atmosphere.
EXCITEMENT OF LANDING

novel sensation is noted. The snow flakes no.

mannsr as we on the sarth's surface see them
fall. There is not the rapidity Of passage noted
upon the oc aston of the ascent, but quiet or
dsrly movement as if the fakes were passing
rom the earth back to the clouds.

90. TO REMAIN LONGEST IN THE AIR.
Nominally, !. balloon race is contest in speed,
for the prize is awarded to the Balloon which COW
ers the greatest distance in the shortest time
This condition obviously means that the balloon
remaining the greater length of time in the air
will win the race and the main object which the
racing aeronaut aims at, therefore, is to avoid
descending to the earth until the other competi-
tors in the race have done So
Many circumstances may compel aeronaut
to bring his balloon to earth. For example, when
a balloon enters a cloud which obscures the sun
that has previously been shining on it, the gas at
once contracts and the balloon begins to descend,
sometimes rather rapidly. There is only one
known method of compelling balloon to rise
again under such circumstances, and that is by
discharging ballast and when thus relieved Of
weight, it rapidly ascends. After all the ballast
has been discharged, the descent to earth must
be made very soon, so that in racing balloon
it 10 matter of considerable Importance to be
able to carry large quantity of ballast,
The weght-lfting power of modern racer is
enormous, whilst the weight of the balloon itself
and Of everything in its construction is kept ex-
tremey low, with a view to carrying as much
weight as possible in ballast.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-25

in which to alieht and then the balloon must be
manipulated as to come to land at this point.
lhe exlgencies of the moment require quick ao-
ton. Unforeseen obstacles push themselves In the
way and must be avoided. An English aeronaut
making descent not long ago neglected to OBJ
serve the tracks of railroad which were covered
with grass and as he was about to land he found
himself dangling few feet above the earth in
front of rapidly approaching passenger car.
The little available ballast was thrown over and
the balloon moved up slowly the top of the
coaches just grazing the of the balloon. In
another instance, an American balloonist was al
most made the victim of the enthusiasm Of per
sons on the surface, who were endeavoring to do
rescue work and thought they were helping the
aeronauts to land by holding on to the trailing
rope. In this manner, the balloon was drawn al
most over the chimney of an industrial plant
from which volumes of heated gases were belch-
ing. The rcscuers were induced 10 let go the rope
just in time for the balloon to pass safely at one
side of the chimney.
RACING IN MID-AIR.
To most people race suggests competition in
speed, but one remarkable characteristic of
balloon race is th.t speed Is a matter OF no ac
count which is due to the simple fact that all
balloons taking part in the contest must of no
eessity travel at precisely the same rate The
rate at which balloon in the air travels depends
absolutely on the rate at which the wind is blow
ing. II the wind blows at fifty miles an hour, all
balloons in the same atmosphere must travel at
exactly fifty miles an hour; OF If the speed Of
the wind is one mile an hour, every balloon will
proceed precisely at that rate Of speed. When a
balloon sscends into the air it becomes for prae-
teal purpeHaas part OF the atmosphere. and moves
