FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending In a
Free Balloon.

UC SotooUs
One Of the first questions which I am
usually asked by persons seeking in.
formation about balloons Is, "What Is
the sensation of going up In balloon p

qulry of the readers of this article and
state for their information that in a
free balloon have not noticed any De-
culiar physical sensation which can be
described. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation.
The impression on ascending In a free
balloon Is more an optical illusion. The
ascent Is so slow and gentle that II
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon Is motionless and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out. AS the alti-
tude Increases hills and valleys are not
apparent, and the earth seems fiat, like
beautiful colored map, showing cul-
tvated fields, forests, etc.
The greater part of the time a bal
loon Is moving either up or down, but
the motion Is not apparent, and it re-
quires a statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending.
Ii considerable change of altitude is
made in q short time, the difference in
air pressure may be felt on the ear

RUSSIA is INTERESTED
IN MANILA FORTIFIcATloNS
By Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 29.-The
Novoe Vremya today devotes one of
its leading articles to the American
plans for the fortification of Manila,
which it believes will convert Cavite
into the most powerful naval base on
the Pacific and enable the United States
to insist upon an actual as well as a
theoretical realization of the open door
in Manchuria.
Continuing, the paper says the denial
of the report that 1t is the present in
tention of President Roosevelt to raise
this question merely exemplities its
conviction that soft words are a corol-
larry to the policy of the big stick.
When the Manila works are completed

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 29.--Dr. S. A.
Mitchell, professor of astronomy at

Percival LowelHs reported discovery of
water vapor existing on Mars is not

ACTION SEEKS TO PREVENT
VOTING OF SHARES
Attorney Representing illinois Central
Stockholders Asks Court to Re-
fuse HarrimaHs Proxies at
Coming Meeting

by Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Feb. 29.-Henry w. Lee
man, who was one of the counsel for
Stuyvesant Fish i'm the recent Illinois
Central case decided by Judge Ball ad-
bersely TO the contentious of Mr.. Fish,
fled n bill in the superior court today
seeking to en1oin the Union Pacific
railroad company and the Railroad Sc
curities company from voting 2S1,2Sl
shares OF Illinois Central stock at the
annual meeting to be held here on
March 2.
The bill asserts that the Union Pa
cific railroad owns all but a few of tho
shares of stock of the Railroad Securi-
ties company. 1t tlRn gives a list of
owners of the PSI, 231 shares of stock in
question and declares that all of the
stock is held and owned for the Union
Pacific Railroad company. 1t alleges
that the Union Pacific Railroad COM
Iany has no right or authority to vote
this stock at the annual meeting to be
teld March 2, or at any adjourned
meetings. 1t ayers that the Union Pa
cific railroad, by voting this stock, will
elect directors "who will be under its
influence and control and will trans
act other business to it's advantage, to
the great and irreparable damage of
the Illinois Central Railroad company"
The bill also sets forth that the laws
OF Utah, under which the Union Pa
cific railroad IS organized, do not give
the power to hold stock in other than
railroad corporations and declares that
the public policy of Illinois prohibits a
corporation from, holding stock in any
other corpoRtion.
The bill further declares that at the
annual meeting to be held March 2 a
proposition viii come up for the rati-
flcation and Approval of certain pur-
ohases of braL ch railroads, and If 1t is
ratified by these 2Sl,23l shares of stock
the validity of such approval and rati-
fication will be subject to serious ques-
ton and that the money invested by
Tie Illionis Central Railroad company
nay probably be totally lost.
The claim Is also made that the Union
Pacific Railpad company controls
parallel and Competing lines to those
of the Illinois Central, "and that by
such stock ownership intends to cre-
ate a monopol' and to stifle conpeti-
ton between railroads, and is unlawful
and contrary to the public policy and
laws of the state of Illinois,"
