our lungs was responding also to the
supreme CONFUSION which took place

object that this could not have taken
place because we did not feel it. Self

AWFUL BALLOON VOYAGE.
German Military Aeronauts Safe
Only After a Terrible Ex-
perience.
War Airship Was Driven Five Hun
dred Miles Over Baltic Sea and
Dropped in Swedish Snow Bank
Barely Averted. Drowning. u

The progress of balloon experiment,
IN the German army has just received
a severe setback by the fearful expert
ences OF two members of the Aero
static Corps, named Wolff and Brand
who have returned to Berlin after hav.
ing been given up for dead, followine
balloon ascension, during which they
completely disappeared. The two men
were blown all the way from Berlin to
the Baltic Sea, where they were driven
by a gale clear across that body of
water, and finally landed, half dead. in
little village in Sweden, travelling al
together more than five hundred miles,
The story of their flight is one of the
most thrilling in the history of bal
looming in Europe.
UNABLE TO MAKE DESCENT.
The two balloonists, caught in the
gale in the upper air, were blown at
terrific speed for three days, unable to
make descent without being dashed
to death.
AS the wind seemed to slacken. The
balloonists opened their valve, prepar-
ing to descend. What was their horror
upon seeing as they dropped from the
clouds that the open sea was beneath
them. They tried to shut the valve,
but were only partly successful.
When within a few hundred feet of
the water. the valve was closed by
Wolff, who climbed up to the cordage
surrounding the gas bag to do it. But
the balloon still dropped nearer the
sea. Finally, desperate, the balloon
lists climbed into the balloons rigging
and cut the basket from under them.
Clinging to the cordage about the
balloon, the two men hung between
hope and fear for a few. moments as
the bag seemed to hover uncertainty.
The thought came into their minds
simultaneously that one must drop off
and tighten the weight to save his |
otherwise both must drown. |
But slowly the bag began to rise once
more.
CHUNG TO CORDAGE FOR HOURS.
After c]inging for hours to the cor
1age, thousands of feet in the air over
he sea, the two soldiers made out the
and. AS soon as it was safe, the valve
vas opened again, and the balloon was
allowed to descend slowly. The two
men landed in snow bank within a
eW miles of a little Swedish village.
They had to walk two miles, almost
through the snow. and COL
apsed just as they reached the first

took up school teaching as a means of
livelihood, and when she was obliged
to abandon this because of falling eye
sight, she managed to secure position
in the Patent Office at Washington, and
here she continued her service until
the outbreak of the Civil War disclosed
to her lifework. Her advertisements
in the Massachusetts papers that she
would receive money and stores for the
wounded soldiers and personally dis
tribute them at the front brought quick
responses, and from this small beginning
the scope of her work broadened. The

WAS WITH THE VANGUARD.

In the Franco-P russian war Miss
Barton was the first person to enter
Strasburg after the fall of that city,
and was instrumental in organizing
the relief. She performed similar
service at Paris, which she entered with
the vanguard at the conclusion Of the
siege. After her return to the United
States she directed relief work in addi-
ton to the instances above mentioned
during the Mississippi food of 1882, the
overflow of the Ohio River in 1883, the
Louisiana cyclone of the same year,
and the Texas drought of 1889, ever at
the fore aiding, sustaining, and sup
porting by her untiring presence the
failing courage of those who in their
suffering learned to depend upon her
with passionate love and gratitude.

LOCATING MEN IN sNows11DE

Eli Smith Is credited with having
saved the lives of twenty-five men at
Sheep Camp in the spring of 1898 at
the time Of the great snowside on the
Dyea trail. 1t will be recalled that
sixty-three men were killed by the
slide, most of them suffocating before
rescuers could reach them. Smith was
on the trail several miles below the
slide. He came up three-quarters of an
hour after the tragedy and found the
survivors frantically trying to dig the
victims out.
"Give me that stick said Smith to a
man who had a fiat lathlike piece of
wood in his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately whitfield the end SC
that he could insert 1t in his mouth
and grasp it firmly with his back teeth
Then he thrust the stick in the snow
and held the end in his mouth appa-
rently listening. He repeated the ope-
ration at several points in the slide
Finally he shouted;
Come Dig here, quicki''
At a depth of nine feet the rescuers
took out two men, unconscious, but
alive. Those rescued soon recovered
and were all right by night
In the same manner Smith pointed
out other spots, which resulted In tht
locating of others, and the uncoverine

saved.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
