GRAVES OF ARlSTOCRATlC
CANNES ARE MARKED.
Wlster Family Of Germantown, Pa,
Continues Custom inaugurated
Over Century Ago by Fa-
nous Artist Peaie.

Philadelphia The aristocratic dogs
belonging to the noted Wister family
of Germantown have special honors
conferred upon them after they are
called from this earth to dog heaven
These blooded CANNES are treated
during life with all the consideration
due the extent of their pedigree, and
even otter death their names are
passed on to posterity upon enduring
monuments erected above their
graves.
In thus honoring their canine fay
orites, the Wisters have perpctuated
the example set by the famous art
list, Charles Wilson Peale, one of the
founders of the Philadelphia Academy
Of the Fine Arts, whose homestead
and Wisters now occupy. More than
a century and a half ago the great
artist erected a monument above he
grave of his pet dog. 1t was only a
wooden shaft. resting upon a marble
base. Painted white, it resembled
marble. 1t was always kept in good
repair and when the wood began to
decay it was replaced. from time TO
time, by new shaft, an exact replica
Of the original.
Then, in 1920, the Peale homestead
passed into the hands of William
Logan Fisher, who presented it to his
daughter when she married William
Wister. Peale is said to have erected
the first monument TO his pet in 1772,
soon after his return from Mount
Vernon, where he had painted the now
celebrated portrait of Washington
Its successor stood there when the
Wisters came into the possession of
the estate. In theil preservation of
the historic glOriCs of the homestead
as well as of their own family, shed
ding a social luster upon everything
in their possession, they have from
generation to generation passed down
the custom of entombing their dog
pets beside the dust of Peales fav-
orite, The inscription on the monu-
ment, however, changes with success

through the contest fer the Llhm cup,
which is to take place some time due.
ing the summer Various conditions
are attached to the contest for this
trophy, but the main thing is to eX-
coed Lieut.. Lahm's record of 40S
miles, made last year, when he won
the international cup for America,
If the wind is blowing directly from
the north or west at the time of the
ascension from st. Louis and the up
per currents correspond with those
close to the earth it will not be pos
sible to exceed Count de La Vaulx s
record. The balloons will be carried
the Atlantic ocean in such circum-
stances. But with wind from any
other direction the chance of estab-
fishing new record is exceedingly
good.
1t is not regarded as probable that
a balloon would be carried across the
Rockies from ST Louis because of the
almost entire absence of east winds in
that section of the country, but with a
south wind or even a wind from the
southwest balloon could be carried
not further than into northern Maine
and still establish new record.
With Canada stretching for hun
dreds of miles to the north, the oppor-
tuntes in that direction are virtually
without limit, and in spite of the
oh nf IN, In &c
the northland it is there that the eyes
of aeronauts are turned most hope
fully.
Men who are spending much money
and time in making elaborate plans to
add the worlds record as we'll as the
international cup to Americas trophies
are cheered by the knowledge that the
science of aeronautics has so far ad.
vanccd that there will be little diff.
Guilty in keeping a balloon afoat at
least as long as Count de La Vaulx's
was in the air when he made his rec
ord flight
Wise and his companions had been
in the air only 10 hours when he had
covered a distance of more than 500
miles in a straight line from st. Louis,
and the aororauts own record of the
VOYAGE described course covering
uoro than HOO miles, while Count De
La VauX was in fight for &c hours
and Is minutes to cover a distance Of
1850 miles
If some daring American aeronaut
can maintain Wise's speed, and at the
same time maintain his balloon in the
air as long as did Count de La Eaulx,
there can be no doubt Of beating the
record provided the balloon is ca-,
ried over the land
Wise was heading straight toward
what would now be the worlds record
when his balloon was wrecked. He
had followed a genero' east-northeast
direction from st. Louis and was head

It is the ambition OF the American
aeronauts who will enter the contest
at st. Louis next October in the effort
to retain the international cup which
Lieut.. Lahm won last year in his re-
markable fight from Paris to the
north Of England, to make new long
distance record. In fact long before
the contest for the international cup
which is not to occur until October,
ascensions will be made to beat Count
de La Vaulx's record, ST Louis will be
the point from which these ascensions
probably will be made, and before the
great race it is not at all improbable
that a new goal will have been set for
foreign aeronauts to attain.
One has but to glance at the maps
of Europe and of the United States to
see at a glance how much greater is
the opportunity for long fight from
ST Louis than from Paris. Whereas
long flight from Paris is not possible
unless the wind Is blowing approx
mately from the west st. Louis is so
situated at the heart of the United
States that balloon may fly hundreds
of miles before reaching the sea, re
gardess of the direction of the wind
In fact the chance of equalling or
exceeding the worlds long distance
record, which is now held by Count
Henry de La VaulX, is just twice as
great from st. Louis as from Paris
From the capital of France a balloon
must travel within a segment of a
circle of only 10 degrees, having a
radius equal in length to de La Vaulxs
record fight, to avoid being carried
out to sea- but from st. Louis the seq
ment of such a circle within which
Count de La Vaulx's record may be
beaten includes 220 degrees.
Lieut.. Frank P. Lahms winning Of
the international cup last year, with a
record of only 402 miles, is an illus
tration Of the difficulty of attaining a
considerable distance from Paris, eX-
cept under favorable conditions. On
the day set for the race the wind was
blowing almost directly from the
south and the balloons We're carried
TO the channel and thence to England.
For Licdt Lahm to have attempted
further flight would have been to
court almost certain death by being
carried past the coast of Norway and
into the Arctic ocean.
That Count de La VaulX's fight Of
1850 miles, from Paris to the province
Of Kief, in Little Russia, made in
1900, still stands as the worlds long
distance record, in spite of hundreds
OF ascents II ade each season since
then and dete cmined and repeated eff
forts of aerolauts to wrest from him
the title OF worlds champion, is CON
vincing proof of the difIit ulties in the
way of beating that record in Europe
In America, on the contrary, the
door to opportunity is wide open. en-
Ill Count de La VaulX's exploit the
long distance record had been held in
this country for IL years by the flight
of John Wise and three companions
from St Louis to northern New York
in 1859, a distance OF more than 500
miles Had Wise's balloon not been
caught in a terrific storm and wrecked
1t is quite possible that at that time a
record would have beln made al least
equal 10 that Of de La Walk

Beginning at 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning free county service was
given its patrons by the Cunlber-

will prove very advantageous to
the citizens of our county and will
add mnch to the value of their
phone.
For some time we have had limit
ed free service, patrons Oh the River

to talk to all points OH the Riverside

having the same privilege ON their
side of the county. But now every
thing Is free in the county with

and connection must be given

will be charged). At present
there is only one line of wire i'll

side and Main Line, and this will
probably be kept very busy now
that talk is SO cheap.
