PARIS. April 1.-THE forthcoming issue
Of Les Annoies will contain story OF the
discovery by the Able Gaffre. the Egyp-
tologist. in a village Of upper Egypt. Of an
ancient parchment which. II genuine,
will have an important bearing on the
familiar tradition Of the early history Of
the Christian Church,
According to the writings Of EusebiuS
Bishop OF Csesarea, in Cappadocia, who
died in $40, Christ sent a portrait OF Him
self TO Abgar, King Of Edessa, in Mesopo-
tamia. who had learned Of the miracles
performed by Jesus, and who sent 10 Him
a profession Of faith and Legged Him to
heal him OF leprosy. The portrait was
entrusted to the disciple Thaddeus.
together with letter, in which Jesus COM
mended Abgar's faith and promised him
temporal aud spiritual happiness.
After the crIciaIion and resurrection,
Thaddeus went to Edessa, baptized the
King and delivered the portrait and letter

tian writers often mentioned as the only one
in existence, is believed by some 10 be still

in the Church Of St. Bartholomew, at Genoa.
The Able Gaffres parchment, which is ap-
parently Of the Ale1andrian school Of the
seventh century, contains a detailed ac-
count Of Thaddeus's mission, with twenty
beautiful miniatures illustrating the story.
The miniatures we're probably painted
by a Greek artist The parchment, which
is ten feet long and three inches vide,
seems to, have been cut into strips, each
OF which was used as a talisman by various
owners. The Able Gaffre suggests that
the strips we're recovered and reconstructed
in the fifteenth century by the Oriental
scholar Philip Of Alexandria. The back Of

BALTIMORE, April l7-Army balloon No.
10 passed over Baltimore this evening and
came to earth just before dusk in the north
ern suburbs. In the balloon we're Lieut..
D. S. Lang of the Signal Service Bureau,
Capt. Van Horn Of the Presidents star
Lieut.. T. Selfrdge and Rolf A, Collins, a
Washington newspaper man
II was an experimental voyage and the
intention was to proceed south, but the
wind carried the balloon north. 1t left
Washington at 2l7 O'Clock. 1t went over
Montgomery and Howard counties, and
when 1t reached ELLIOTT City II was 1000
feet above the earth. Here the balloon
drifted eastwardly across Anne Arundel
county, traversing the Patapsco and Spring
Gardens, where IL entered the city.
BY this time it had dropped to 900 feet
and the voyagers we're busy throwing out
ballast. SO near were they 10 the ground
that the outlines Of the men in the car we're
distinctly seen from Baltimore street.
Lower and lower it came, in spite Of efforts
to remain aloft, and finally landed on the
estate OF Robert Jenkins, on Roland avenue
in the northern suburbs. at o15 P. NJ.
