PAUL N0QUET7s
LAST BALLOON TRIP
Made an Ascension Yesterday,
Balloon Found on Long
Island Shore.
BUT WHERE Is THE AER0NAUT?
Search for Him Has Been Long,
Thorough and Thus Far
Fruitless.

New York. April 4-The balloon in
which Paul Noquett. the sculptor made
an ascension late yesterday, was found
-at 10 o'clock last night on Jones Beach
on the south shore OF Long Island.
Capt. Austin, OF the life saving station.
reported today thai the balloon had
apparently landed on the beach where
IL had been dragged along some dis
lance IN the sand. Tracks about the
balloon seem to indicate that the aero
naut had survived his fight
Near the spot where the balloon was
discovered there are number of cot

Noquett may have gone for refuge
for the night, II he aighted safely
a later report from the captain OF

the finding Of several buttons in the
car on the beach. ON the sand about
the balloon were scattered several
newspapers and other articles from the
car; the newspapers having been taken
along to be torn up and cast out while

many daringly successful attempts at
aerial navigation. 1t Is not as an aero
naut alone that he has attained dis
tinction however, He is almost equally
well known as an author, sculptor ana
an artist. Wide attention recently was
attracted to his work as a sculptor by
"a bronze figure OF President Roosevelt,
entitled "A Presidential Vacation" This
figure represents the president drag
ging bear by the ear while In his right
hand he holds aloft cub. Comment
upon the figure was diversified. but the
efforts of the artist pleased the presl-
dent, who sent him "A complimentary
letter.
Noquett was bern In BRUSSELS in
1871, and at the age of II studied paint
Ing under Jean Portaels. Soon after
ward he turned TO sculpture, and at
the age Of 20 won the grand prize of
Belgium. which gave him three years

MAY BUILD ARTIFICIAL ISLAND


Washington, April 1.-THE creation of
an artificial island in the mlddele of
the entrance to Chesapeake Bay Is
proposed by the joint board on coast
defense. AS an absolute essential to the
defense Of the national capital and the
cities of Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport
News and even Richmond. The daring
exploits Of the japanese naval captains
during the recent war has convinced
the army engineers that 1t is no longer
safe to rely upon the defenses at Fort
Monroe to control the entrance to the
Chesapeake. The board has concluded
that fortress should be erected to
command the north side of the present
main channel, as we'll as the north
channel, and the only proper site for
this fortress would be on what are
known as the middle grounds The wa
ter Is shoal but there is no land above
