London,s First Balloon.

Tremendous excitement was caused
when London's first balloon went up
nearly century and a quarter ago.
The balloon, manned by young Ital-
lar named Vincent Lunardi, assembled
from Moorfields on September Is,
1884, in the presence of more than
100000 spectators. All business was
suspended, the King himself setting
the example by adjourning a cabinet
Vast crowds followed the balloons
course. some on horseback, in carts,
in chaises, but mostly on foot.
Many were hurt in the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright of an old country
woman, who, coming out of her cot
tage to see what the excitement was
about, beheld the balloon just above
her head. On the other hand, Luz
nardi undoubtedly saved one man S
life, a jury bringing in a verdict Of
mot guilty on notorious highway
man in order that they, the prisoner
and the Judge might rush out of
court to see the balloon
Phe aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware, in Hertfordshire, where
his sudden drop from the clouds was
the cause of more establishment and
excitement. Many of the spectators
swooned with fear, while others
urged the putting OF Lunardi to death
on the ground that he must needs
be a sorcerer.-C Chicago News.

Since her victories in the Yellow
Sea and the Korean Straits, as well. as
in Manehuria, Japan has crowded
forward by leaps and bounds.
Twelve powerful fighting ships and
armored cruisers, captured from Rus
STA, now fly the emblem of the Ris-
ing Sun. Twelve powerful fighting
ships, all but one carrying four
twelve-inch guns, also stand ready
to form feet to defend aggressively
her waters against an invading enc
my In course of completion this
young giant of the East has two
battleships Of 10000 tons each. She
is constructing four other armored
cruisers equal to our battleships, and
is employing her own shipyards TO
their fullest capacity. What this
fullest capacity means was empha-
sized by the presence at the James,
town Exposition of the 16,000-ton
Japanese cruiser Tsukuba, carrying
a battery far superior to that of any
American armored cruiser and equal
to that of some of the biggest Ameri-
can battleships afloat, vessel built
by japanese workmen, in Japanese
shipyards, in one-half of the time
that the United States has ever built
one of its largest armored cruisers
or battleships.
Japan is at present employing in
shipbuilding and naval construction
three times the number of men at
work in all our navy yards.
She also has in commission sixteen
armored cruisers, forty-fve torpedo
boat destroyers, seventeen first-class
torpedo boats and thirteen subma-
rines. Added to this fighting force
Japan has a defensive feet of thirty
eight cruisers, twenty-three gum
boats and many war craft, which,
while effective as home guard,
would be of no Importance in an
offensive movement in foreign waters.
Her naval complement includes 5000
officers and 10000 men, numerically
one-fourth as large as Great Brit
aims; about half as large as Frances.
In this connection the interesting
question is raised. If Japan, which
has attained such success at sea,
has proportion of 5000 officers to
10000 men, would it not be wise
for us to consider how the United
States can be contented with one
third less officers to one-third more
men, or slightly over 1000 officers
to slightly under 10000 men, which
now constitutes our naval establish
ment? Can it be that the United
States Government believes that two
American officers can do as good
work in the future and cover as
many posts as three Japanese Off
GERS did during the Russian war,
with the same numerical totals of
personnel involved Broadway Mag

GREATEST PORT IN WORLD.
Story of Duluth, ''the Zenith City of
the Unsalted Seas"


Duluth claims to be the greatest
shipping port in the world, greater
than London, Liverpool, or any other
than New York The total freight
handled by water during the year
1906 at Duluth, Superior and the
support of Two Harbors, which is
included within the Duluth district,
was 37,376,2O1 tons, while the total
tonnage of London for 1905 has been
given me as 33,478,15S; Liverpool,
24,365,519; Hongkong, 22,653,616;
Hamburg, 20,762, 900, and Antwerp,
19,675,66
The tonnage for New York in 1905
was 3O,S14,062; that of Chicago was
14,740,115.
1t should be said, however, that
eighty or eighty-five per cent of the
freight handled at Duluth is raw ma
terial, iron ore, wheat and coal, which
is carried in vast quantities by
large fleet of vessels.
The value of the freight shipped
from and received at Duluth last year
was more than $3.50, 100000, and
every ounce of it was contribution
to the wealth of theworld, the product
of the soil of Minnesota, Dakota and

In paper read before the Society
of Arts by Mr.. Herbert Wright on
Rubber Cultivation" the author
said that Ceylon alone had already
planted land sufficient to supply Lon
don with about 1000 tons of rubber
per year in place of the seventy tons
she sent in 1905. Land was being
applied for and purchased at very
high prices, and very soon a promin-
ent and permanent position would be
established. When one considered
what had recently happened in Cey-
Ion, the Federated Malay States and
India, it was obvious that the export
in few years would be as suddenly
increased as had the planted acreage
in these places, and for this we must
be prepared.

lined for the thumbs. / make them
double, using the top of the stock
ings for the top of the mitten and
just above the ankle for the lining;
cut one side over fold and stitch
the lining and outside together; make
slit and insert thumb; stitch in
and overcast; then stitch lining and
outside together around wrist part
This is fine way to use old stock
ings and have plenty of dry mittens
for the youngsters on hand at all
times. To get the different sizes,
measure the child's hand and then
measure the same length on the
stocking, allowing enough for seam.
