NINE. LEBAUDY AN AER0NAUT

Aero Club Grounds
Special Gable to The Herald.


PARIS, July 31.-Count Henri de la
Vaulx is having success with mis- new
airship. Leaving st. CloQN on Tuesday
early in the morning he successfully
passed over the trees and proceeded to
a space over Longchamps race course,
above which he carried out his evolu-
tions during seven hours.
Nine. Jules Lebaudy has just made
her debut as an aeronaut under the di-
rection of De la Vaulx, who piloted the
Icare, the balloon used on the occasion
of this trip. The flight is specially
interesting in view of the fact that
Nine. Lebaudy is more than 60 years of
age.
The Icare ascended from the grounds
of the Aero club at ST. Cloud at
o'clock in the evening. The wind at
first was light, but its force soon in
Fl eased. The balloon consequently was
brought to earth at Limours. Nine. Lee
baudy was delighted and contemplates
further trips.

Mine Explosions.

When one considers how old the
industry of mining coal is he cannot
avoid wondering why fatal explosions
like that reported from Bluefields, w.
va, continue to occur, says the New
YORK Tribune. In some mines there

Others, but practically all lexcept
those In the anthracite region) are sub
Ject to the trouble. Nearly or quite
century has elapsed, too. since Davy
devised means which have been fairly
effcacious, If faithfully employed. Since
his day there have been. to be sure,
improvements In the safety lamp; but
even the old type would still be SER
viceable If only used in the way the
inventor designed.
There can be no doubt that the great
majority of accidents of the kind un-
der consideration are due to the reck-
less and unlawful relighting of lamp
that has become accidentally extin-
guished. The practise saves a miner
time and good deal of trouble, be-
cause II he goes outside the mine las
ne should) he must often proceed
considerable distance in the dark. To
provide against contingencies, there
fore, men often carry with them keys
wherewith to unlock their lamps, and
matches. Inasmuch as they violate tire
rules with impunity on some occasions
they come to think that they can do
so always. Further encouragement, it
Is to be feared is derived from the
tacit APPROVAL of fellow-workmen.
though the lives of the latter, as we'll
as that of the offender. are imperil-
ed by the act.
Inasmuch as the miner cannot be
effectively restrained it has been pro-
posed to remove temptations from
him. Small quantities of some full
inmate have been arranged in such
manner that they can be enclosed in
lamp and can be fired automatically
by percussion or friction. Extensive
laboratory experiments with the in
vention have recently been made by
the Belgian government. In most in
stances the apparatus worked salts
factorily. but occasionally gas outside
of lamp would be ignited. 1t was
thought, however, that these exceptions
to the rule were attributable to the
form of the lamp itself; for many
styles were tested. Should further
experiments verify that belief it might
be feasible at last to make safety
lamp that was absolutely safe. Ameri-
can mine operators, if not already
familiar with the improvement should
inform themselves fully in regard to
it. IT the hopes which it has inspired
abroad are realized much property as
we'll as many lives will be saved.-Ex.

WOMAN NOVELIST FIERY.
Gretrude Atherton Attacks Edith
Wharton.

w AsAA CVAs
Gertrude Atherton does not think
Edith Wharton the greatest woman
novelist in the United State, and she
does not want anyone else to think so.
says a San Francisco dispatch. She
does not claim for herself that dis
tinction, but she is deadly intent on
preventing its capture by the author
of "The House of Mirth.'
Mrs. Atherton is not at all subtle in
her attack. She comes down on Mrs
Wharton with loaded bludgeon of
analysis, criticism and contempt. and
fatty declares that her literary success
Is due to booming" and the snobbish
proclivities of certain critics. who hail
her because she is society" novelist.
Should Mrs. Clarence Mackay write
book on the dazzling theme of New
York society,"" observed Mrs. Atherton.
1T would sell million copies. And"
Mrs. Anterior adds. maliciously, IF
she did. Miss Glider. Mr.. Babe and
Professor Peck would probably have
apoplexy."
Mrs. Atherton's sensational protest
Is contained in long communication
to San Francisco periodical, which,
it seems, had the temerity to defy Mrs
Wharton. Hence the explosion.
Mrs. Atherton sums up her fellow
authoress as follows:
MRS. Wharton, in suite of her often
admirable use of English, is distinctly
a second rate novelist, not only be-
cause her construction is as amateur
ish as possible and her premises
arbitrary. but because her puppets are
pulled about to suit preconceived
events and climaxes: Not thing that
occurs in the second part of "The
House Of Mirth" is logical or even
probable. and, If proof were necessary
to any honest and intelligent critic.
this half of the book conclusively
stamps Mrs. Wharton non-creative
writer. As long as she is on her own
familiar ground the book, in spite of
the dishonesty Of the major premise
the thoughtless visit of an ambitious
misunderstanding girl of insecure posi-
ton, and nearly 30 years old. to q
bachelors apartment the book runs
smoothly enough, but from the moment
she Is obliged to use material obtain
ed at second hand 1t begins to fall to
pieces and betray her poverty Of i'm
agination."
Mrs. Atherton sees a lamentable
finish for Mrs. Wharton, and a quick
lapse into the infinite nothingness of
nowhere. She says:
Although, no one would listen to me
at the time, Ipredicted the inevitable
end of Amelie Rives and Mrs. Craigie,
The former had talent without brain
and the latter brain without talent. I
am quite as ready to predict Mrs.
