about each other, but there is no evil
dence of a rupture. Senator Knox, of
Pennsylvania, is one of those who has
been represented as breaking with the
president, bat he expresses the views
of himself and other senators on this
point when he says: The talk of my
breaking with the president is all rot
We may differ as to sone of the de-
tails of a rate bill, but during the past
five years l have frequently differed
with him and there never was any
thought Of a rupture. The president
and his friends are not so far apart on
the rate question as might be sup
posed"
Senator Knox seems bound to take
a prominent place in the consideration
of the railway rate bill as he is looked
up to by every lawyer in the senate as
a man most thoroughly capable of
passing upon constitutional points and
the latter seems to be really the only
source of controversy in the rate Ques-

Early Balloon Ascsnsions.

The first balloon ascension was
made in 1893 in France. by Stephen
and Joseph Montpelier two paper
makers. They succeeded in reaching,
in small balloon, the height of ff-
teen thousand feet. Before this date,
however, Cavendish. who had dscov-
cred hydrogen gas in 1866, and Black,
who had the following year discov-
cred that this gas would cause light
envelop filed with it to rise of its
own accord, had laid the foundation
Of aeronautics.
In the same year that the Mont
golfer brothers made their assent,
Professor Charles made an ascension
in a balloon of his own construction
before half the population or Paris.
Balloon ascensions were not wholly
successful, however, until Green of
America introduced coal gas instead
of hydrogen with which to initiate the
bag of the ballon.
The highest balloon ascension on
record was made by Glaisher and
Coxwell from Wolverhampton in Sep
TENDER, 1862. They reached the alti-
tude of seven miles, of thirty seven
thousand feet. The cold at this height
was about twelve degrees below zero.
Glaisher became insensible. and Cox
wells hands we're frozen, but by the
aid of his teeth he managed to open
the valve in the balloon and descend
in safety

property seems to depend upon the
comparative thickness of the bottom;
the thicker the bottom is, the more
certainty OF breakage by this expert
ment. Some of these vessels, it is
stated have resisted the stroke of a
melet given with sufficient force to
drive nail into wood; and heavy

ISHMAEL OF THE GUTTER.
London Coster Declared to Be Last
Remnant of Worlds Old Race
of Wanderers.

London's outdoor man Is the coster,
according to Outing. He Is the Ish-
mael of our cutters. A very jolly Ish-
mael, it is true, who is moro than con-
tent to acknowledge the line of de-
marcation between himself and the
true cockney. But, nevertheless, in a
modified, twentieth century way, he is
still the wild man whose hand is
against every mans and every mans
against his. He is probably the last
remnant of the worlds old race of wan
derers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left to the cities. He
is to us town dwellers what the gypsy
Is to the countryside. His descent
seems to spring from the same rowing
stock. And he is regarded, from a safe
distance, with the same contempt by
those who don't know him. His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly
of the days when tribe warred against
tribe, and every mans arm was for
himself and his clan. And although
HIS pitch is below the curb, his caravan
a barrow, and his beast of burden a
Russian pony, donkey, or himself,
he is as free and as exclusive as any
other lusty scion of the people who live
under the skies. Ishmael he is, and
lshmael he chooses to remain. And the
chances are ten to one that whoever
goes a-fishing for information among
the barrows will come back with an
empty creel or a fine show of fisher
mans tales. For your costsr knows
both how to keep silence and how to
use his tongue picturesquely in defense
OF his jealousy guarded traditions and
the internal economies of his existence
