in congress will have something to
say on the subject next winter. The
names of defaulting companies are
to be sent broadcast through the
world, and the opinion is universal in
San Francisco that in the long run
the defaulting companies will dis
cover that they played losing game
when they defrauded policy holders Of
their rights.
Insurance litigation promises to
become great. Policy holders who
have money enough to fight are not
slow in invoking the aid of the courts.
One or two important cases already
have been decided, but the critical
question is yet to be passed upon

payment shall not be made If the
loss is caused directly or indirect

God. OF course, if there had been
no earthquake there would have been
no fire, but the man whose house was
consumed three days after the
quake does not think the indirect
cause is quite close, enough to the
effect to justify the insurance com.

MY FIRST BALLOON ASCENT

you were rising above the earth.
Only, in the twinkling of an eye, you
were looking down on everything, with
all the familiar landmarks, all the
wonted standards of comparison, blot
ted out. You may, for example, often
have had a bird s-eye view from a
comparatively considerable height
say from the top of the Great Wheel.
You are then above your scene, and
the splendid view is beneath you. But
there always remain other points-the
steeple of a church. the tower of the
Imperial institute. or the dome of st.
Paul's-that adjust, as it were, the eye
to a certain focus. But from bal
loon there are, of course, no standards
of comparison. The dome of st.
Paurs is a fiat circular hump in the
ground plan of it's roof, and the Albert
hall is a molehill Through the haze
on the horizon one saw the Thames
like a silver streak apparently en-
bossed above the miniature panorama
1t is customary to describe ones
first ascent as an experience of ex-
hilaration and enjoyment. So to GER
tain extent it may be, but / am not al
together sure of it, l have not the
smallest intention of attempting q
psychological analysis of my emotions
as novice, but think l may say that
a feeling of uneasiness was in this
particular case not over due to blue
funk" One thing that kept me quiet
was a sense of the unreality of it all.

Trailing, for beginners at any rate,
is the prime sport of ballooning. 1t
, means that rope $50 feet long is let
down and allowed to trail over the
face of the country. If it diminishes
| the pace, it gives enc an idea of the
rate one is travelling, and a sense of
motion absent under other conditions.
For example, you may be travelling at
the rate of 80 or 40 miles an hour, but
because you are travelling at the same
velocity as the wind, you seem drift
ing absolutely becalmed. Hence
straw hat for ballooning is not such
inappropriate headgear as at first
sight it may appear. But trailing
gives you your direction and tells you
that you are travelling. Over trees,
! houses, haystacks, everything, glides,
twists and winds the rope. 1t causes
CONSERVATION in the poultry yard and
sensation among grazing cattle. It
is as near an approach to the joys of
flying as the neophyte is likely to get
in his present incarnation, unless the
Aero club succeeds in its avowed ambi-
ton of bringing aeroplanes within the

Plainfield, Ind, September IL
(SpL)-There were few women
dressed in plain black and wearing
the quaint Quaker bonnets in the con
gregation that gathered today in the
old Quaker meeting house at Plain
field, for what was really the open
ing session of the forty-ninth West
ern Yearly Meeting of the Friends
church. However, the major part of
the crowd could wei have been mis-
taken for one composed of Baptists,
Methodists and some other demonina-
tions that do not have the pictures
que traditions of the Quakers.
Josiah Morris Recalls Old Days.
In his address at the ministerial
and oversight meeting, last night.
Josiah Morris, of B1oomingdale, him
self a fine type of the older school of
progressive Quakers, reviewed the
old days not so far gone when the
Quakers waited for the spirit to
move them. and when instrumental
agencies, such as organs, were not in
use to facilitate the work of moving
congregations to participate in reli-
gous services.
Christian Science Condemned.
Mr. Morris was followed by Thorn
as C. Brown, formerly superintend-
ent of the Western Yearly Meeting,
who took up for discussion the twin
subject, THE Varied Duties OF the
Pastor to His Flock and How They
Should be Performed
He said that Christian Science,
foolishly so-ca1led Unatarianism, and
some other beliefs and disbelief in
the inspiration of the Bible and mir
acles, is sapping the spiritual life of
