The Origin Of Portugal.

About the year 1924 the name of
Portugal appears in the annals Az
fonso VII. Of CASTLE in that year
signed over to Count Henry of Bur
gundy, who had left his native land
to help fight the threatening Moor, the
county OF Portugal as a fief. The name
Portugal comes directly from the
Latin. signifying the Port OF Gale
Gale being the old name for the town
of Oporto. The brief Of Alfonso marks
the beginning OF the separate existence
Of Portugal Though for many years
it was no more than feudal depend
ence of CASTLE, nevertheless this child
was the father of the later independent
kingdom. In the year 1888 the lords
Of Portugal took the title Of king and
refused allegiance to any power. Mos

SUMS RAYs AsugE The CLOUDS.
5alloonlsts Compelled to Shelter
Faces from the Fierce Heat.

At the height of two miles the sun
shines with fierce intensity unknown
below where the dust and the denser
air scatter the rays which, thus diff
fused, lose their intensity while IL
Eliminating every nook and corner Of
our houses. At heights exceeding five
miles this diffused light is mostly
gone and the sun shines a glowing
bali sharply outlined in a sky Of
which the blue is so dark as to ap-
proach blackness. At the outer limits
of the atmosphere the sun would ap-
pear a brilliant star Of massive size
among other stars; and IL one stepped
from its burning rays into shadow he
would enter Egyptian darkness At
the height OF a mile and q half we
found 1t necessary to shelter our
faces to prevent sunburns although the
air around US was but little warmer
than that Of the previous night being
about Is degrees. As the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began to
cool and sink, we were obliged to
throw out much sand. casting Il away
a scoopful at time. and just after
sunset II was even necessary to
empty two or three bags at once.-At-
