MILES UP IN A BALLOON.
Little Known Through Explorations
 of the Upper Air.

To cross the Alps in the air, as did the Italian aeronauts on the Milano, was a new feat in balloon ing The altitude attained by the voyagers-28, ,93O feet-falls consid- erably short of being a new record. Two English aeronauts, Messrs, Coxwell and Glaisher, ascended 37,- 900 feet in 1862, about seven miles, and in 1875 M. Tissandier, a Frenchman, rose more than five miles with a companion, who died on the way. One of the English ad- venturers became unconscious at an elevation of five and half miles.
 These figures of height have been equaled, if at all, only in the case of a self-registering balloon which was sent up from Paris in 1893, and on examination after its de- scent, appeared to have reached an altitude of 52,49O feet, and was thawed ''higher up" by the suns radiations. There is of course no possible verifcation of any claims concerning this balloon.
 The voyagers with the Milano had the advantage over the high sailors of 1862 and 1875 of being equipped with tubes of oxygen for breathing in the rarefed upper air. Modern mountain-climbers have found oxy- gen of use, also, and the portable gas-holders may serve some day to help explorers to the summit of earth's highest peak. At present the climbers record for altitude rests at 23,394 feet, almost 5000 feet short of Mount Everest's sum- init.

WHERE NATURE DOES COOKING

There are one or two countries Iceland, for example-where wash- day is not dreaded, because nature provides the hot water at ones very door in the shape of steaming springs of spouting geysers. But there is only one country where the native women do practically all their cooking by unaided nature, and that is the North island of New Zealand. Here is a wonderland of thou- sand square miles, so volcanic that a fire may be lighted by inserting a few sticks in the earth, and wher- ever one makes a hole he speedily has a pool of boiling water, into which a pudding may be lowered in- cased in a cloth and cooked expedi- tiously.

Why One Man Declined Election as
 United States Senator.

J. H. Hale, the millionaire fruit grower of South Glastonbury, Conn.,, who is known all over the country as one of the largest grow CTS in the world, is perhaps the only man in the country who ever turned down" a unanimous elec- ton as United States senator. Mir. Hale owns something like 350,00O fruit trees in Georgia. It cost him last year nearly $160,000 merely to put his enormous crop on the mar ket, but he is one of the most de- lightfully transformations men in Connecticut.
 He has always been interested in movements for the betterment of his town and state. Some few years ago he was rendered the election as senator 'on silver platter" as he aptly put it. When waited upon by the legislative committee, Mir. Hale literally held up his hands.
 "Gentlemen," he said, "I don't want to be elected to your august senate. Really, I don't. I'd rath- CT be farmer. Besides-there's more money in it." And MT. Hale, who has gained considerable prom thence as a public speaker, says he is still "close to the soil.'
