UP IN A BALLOON

The American Magazine includes
an article on Sky Sailing, the New
Sport" that presents a wonderful &C.
count of the sensations experienced
by the balloonist. Here is a picture
of how you feel as you leave the earth
on your first ascension:
Let go. everybody shouts your
pilot, and the first of a series of
strange phenomena strikes you. For
1t is not as If you were moving up
ward or leaving the earth. II seems
as If the earth were leaving you.
Your balloon seems to you to be stand
ing perfectly still as If held suspended
by an invisible hand while the earth
recedes back, back at a startling
rate. You look over the top of your
basket at the people with whom but
an instant before you were rubbing
elbows and you gaze into a multitude
OF upturned faces cheering themselves
blue and at forest If arms waving
hats and flags and handkercniefs.
Even as you gaze the faces blur and
fade, while the decreasing noise of
the cheers gives you an idea Of the
rate at which you are soaring sky
ward. And still you cannot feel that
1t Is you who are travelling away and
not the earth. You do not feel the
least sensation of upward movement
Of the sort you feel while in the ele-
yator of hotel or office building. On
the contrary. so indescribably smooth
and easy is the motion that there
seems to be none at all. and we're
you bhndfolded and were 1t not for
the receding sound from the crowd be-
low. you would not know that TIC

might be tempted to step overheard

Mike and Pat both worked for a
wealthy famer, according to a writer
in the Buffalo Times. They planned
to turn burglars and steal the money
which the farmer had hid in one OF
the rooms of his house. They waited
until midnight, then started to do the
job.
In order to get the money they had
to pass the far ler's bedroom. Mike
says, I'm go first, and If it's all right
you can follow and do just the same
as l."
Mike stated to pass the room. Just
as he got opposite the door the floor
creaked. This awoke the farmer
who called out, Who's .hera?"
Mike answered with a "meaw" (im-
itating a caD. The farmers wife
being awake, too. said, "Oh, John
it's the cat" and all was quiet.
Now Pat started to pass the door,
and as he got opposite it the floor
creaked again. The farmer called out
again, louder than before, who's
there?"
Pat answered, Another cat"

It is said the Omaha division be-
tween Fort Dodge and Omaha is re-
sponsible in measure for the deposit
ton of Stuyyesant Fish from the
presidency of the Illinois Central rail
road. This statement is based on
information CLEANED in New York
during the great fight between Fish
and E. H. Hartman for control of
the directorate of the Central system
The western extension of the Central
was built upon order of Stuyyesant
Fish against the will and advice of
the Hartman interests, and that por-
tiol of the line has proved to be a
loser since put in operation seven
years ago Millions of dollars have
been expended in keeping up the
Omaha division, but instead of in.
creasing the profits it has been
deficit producer
1t at the same time has come into
competition with the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, and has caused
reductions of revenue to them. Com.
bined with the direct losses sustained
by the Illinois Central, this, it is said
is the chief cause of the estrange-
ment from Mr.. Fish of the Wander
bilt interests, which are represented
on the Illinois Central directorate by
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and of the
Standard Oil interests, which control
the st. Paul, and which are backing
Mr. Hartman in the present contest.
Mr. Fish, however, took differ
ent view. He believed line to
Omaha, by serving as a feeder to the
rest OF the system, would be highly
profitable, and he had his way. The
extension, which is 131 miles long
was built at an initial cost of $6,000,-
900, and was opened for operation in
1900. The expenditures on the Iowa
lines since 1899 mainly for the Omaha
extension, have exceeded $S,000,000
Mr. Fish has been blamed for the
results of the extension to Omaha.
1t has given his enemies seemingly
good ground for criticising his judg-
ment both as a railroad operator and
as a financier, and they have utilized
it to the full 1t has given Mr.. Har-
riman a strong argument, which he
has not failed to employ in his at.
tempts to get his fellow directors to
turn the Illinois Central over to his
management.

Among the numerous sp, facts
that Mr.. Rolker reports. the following
are interesting:
1T is while discharging ballast to
enter the higher attitudes that you
get your first idea of the hair-trigger
balance of the giant continuance keep
ing you afioat. Your pilot takes a
small wooden scoop no larger than
an ordinary sized soup ladle, digs in
to one of the sand bags and scatters
a single shoYelful' overheard. Up
dar:s your balloon-100, 200, 800 feet.
An ordinary-sized bottle of beer spill
ed overheard lightens the balloon
enough to send it up $50 feet. and if
you happen to be over a vacant field
where you can drop the bottle itself
without risk Of killing anyone, the
release Of this weight win send you
up another 800 feet. So delicately
poised is your balloon once it has
struck its balance that you would
push it up or pull it down from 500
to 400 feet with equal strength Of
that of your little finger.
When mere cloud passes be-
tween you and the sun, causing in
slant contraction of the gas in the
balloon, the envelope becomes baggy
and fiaccid at once and you begin to
fall, sometimes at the rate of a thou

have no warning of this other than
the statoscope and no sensation ex-
cept the thrill as you see the alarm.
ing rapidity with which the earth
comes nearer you. Three or four
scoopfuls of sand may be necessary
to sacrifice before you again strike
your balance and the next moment
the sun darts from behind the cloud
warns the balloon, and the envelope
tautens almost with bang and you
go hting upward under your enlight-
ened load until you are obliged to
open the escape valve to let out gas
to prevent going up above your orr
ginal level. Then it is that you be-
gin to understand why the bugbear
of the aeronaut is alternate and sun,
shine, why ne prefers sailing during
the night, and why, if he does sail
throughout a day. he mounts high
above the clouds in continuous sun
shine where the volume of gas in the
balloon remains constant"

Ever Think of the Farm ?

Although they might not be willing
to retire from the city and go back to
the soil, many men feel as this man
felt, who ran away from the weary
life Of a big community and gained
peace and happiness on a farm. The
followeng statement is taken from his
photographed serial, just beginning
in The American Magazine, entitled
Adventures IN Contentment."
One morning / Wakened with d
strange, new joy in my soul. It came
to me at that moment with indescrib-
able poignancy, the thought of walk
ing barefoot in cool, fresh plow fur
rows as had once done when a boy.
So wildly the memory came to me
the high airy world as it was at that
moment and the boy l was walking
free in the frrrows-that the weak
tears filled my eyes, the first had
shed in many years. Then I thought
of sitting in quiet thickets in old
fence corners the wood behind me
rising still. cool, mysterious. and the
fields in front stretching away in IL
limitable pleasantness. / thought If
the good smell of cows at milking
