the meantime he shouted to the others to slide down
the rope to the earth, warning them not to jump,
lest the balloon lghtened by the weight of the
who jumped first, would be torn from his grasp and
carry the other out to sea-
At this moment, carried away by excitement,
not understanding Captain Templar's instructions,
Agg-Gardner leaped from the car, which had risen
to height of about ten feet from the ground The
balloon, thus lightened sprang upward tearing the
rope from Captain Templars hands and disappeared
over the cliffs bearing Powell with it: No trace
ever found either of the its unfortunate
occupant.
In curious book published in Paris in 1868,
there suggested plan for reaching the North
Pole by means of balloon. Others than the author
of this quaint work have, before and since that time,
entertained the idea. But the only to
make the practical effort to reach the North Pole in
balloon was NJ. S. A. Andre, daring and skilful
aeronaut, the hero of many adventurous voyages.
Briefly, Andres plan was to convey to point
as possible to the Pole a suitable balloon
with apparatus for manufacturing the gas and
initiating the silk bag. From this point, the balloon

the Pole in the hope of passing and reaching
some ha bitable country beyond. The balloon itself
made of Chinese pongee silk and had capacity
of one hundred and sixty-two thousand cubic feet

thrilling balloon adventure in which this a
was a feature was that of Sadler, who m
ascension from the grounds of Belvedere
Dublin in the spring of 1872. Sadlers
intention was to cross the Irish Sea and,
if possible make a landing at Liverpool.
His theory was that there were two prlncl-
pal air currents, an upper and lower by
means of which he could control the direc-
ton of his flying.
Serious Handicaps
THE voyage from the start was fraught
i with difficulties and dangers. Just be-
fore the ascension was to have taken place,
Sadler discovered in his silk gas bag large
rent which showed igns of extending. After
much difficulty, the aeronaut managed to
improvise a rope ladder, by means Of which
he was able to reach the tear and repair
it. Finally, the ascension was successfully
made, and the balloon caught by the wind,
was carried out over the sea. Here Sadler
found that his theory of the air currents
was practically correct, and by maneuver-
ing carefully he managed to make sue
cessful landing upon the south shore of the
Isle of Man.
From the Isle of Man, the aeronaut made
another ascension, and late in the afternoon
found himself abreast of Great Ormes Head.
At this point he determined to make
final landing; but before he could effect this
the wind shifted and at the same time
increased in force The balloon caught in
its grasp, was blown straight out over the
sea- For over an hour this daring traveller
of the air tried high and low to find a
current which would carry him toward the
land. Finally, failing, in this and seeing seve

Word From Andre

IN July az there was recovered by fish
~ ing boat near Spitzbergen a carrier
pigeon bearing the following message: July
10, 1890 P. M, 81 degrees minutes north
lat, IS degrees minutes east long. Good
journey eastward. All goes well on board.
ANDRE" On August I there was picked
up in the Arctic zone buoy bearing mes
sage to the effect that all was well. Another
buoy was found at later date bearing
message of similar import
Since that time there have been found
absolutely no tidings from Andre and his
companions There is little doubt, however,
in the minds of experts, that they have
persisted. In fact, it is difficult to imagine
how any rational man could have expected
to make voyage of twelve hundred miles
in the air without landing When it is under
stood that the most protracted balloon voy

It was provided with a rudder, sail, and
guide ropes, as well as with several other
ingenious devices believed to be conducive
70 safety and efficiency.
After much difficulty and many vexatious
delays, the start was finally made on July
II, 1897, from Spitzbergen, a point about
six hundred miles from the Pole. Andre
was accompanied on his hazardous voyage
by Nils Strindberg and DR.. Ekhol1n. The
start was made without accident, the wind
in north northeasterly direction.

premium on currency relaxed decided

greater extent had IL not been for the

Once Had Yellow Fever.

NY faith in the ultimate checking
Of tuberculosis throughout the world
is based upon my own rememberances
of that other scourge. yellow fever. and
the change that has been brought
about through the study of the disease.
Fifty years ago. and even until recent
years yellow fever was a most dreadful
visitor in New Orleans. In one Of the
epidemics of the disease | contracted
the fever myself. so | can speak of II
from personal experience. At that
time the fever became epidemic per-
iodically in that city and in othr places
in the South. and the population re
naming there during any Of these Wis
itations was almost decimated. This
was notably so in the great epidemic
of 1854 Now owing To the fact that
they have discovered the causes and
and removed them. the disease does
not occasion ripple Of excitement
when a case is discovered. as does oc-
cur now and then.-Cardinal Gibbons
