Prague in 1908. derives his name from
this little race. He was present at the
Inauguration of the monument erected

of some of the speakers when referring

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, November 9.-Certain French
deputies are DESTROYS of following Switzer-
lands example in putting stop to the
sale of absinthe.
In the chamber, NM. Reinarch and
Busson are challenging a vote on this
question by an amendment on the finance
law. They have moved that the nanufac-
ture and sale of absinthe be prohibited
in France and colonial possessions after
January /. 1910.
There is. however. little chance of the
proposed law being adopted. Absinthe is
a source of considerable revenue to the
state, and. moreover, those who are en-
gagged in the trade are, politically, a
power in the land.

SIMPLY A CHATTY STORY
NOTHING INCENDIARY IN suP-
PRESSED INTERVIEW

NEW YORK. November 9.-According to
Richard Watson Glider, editor of the
Century Magazine, William Bayard Hale's
suppressed interview with the German
kaiser. which was to be published i'm the
december issue of the Century. was sup
pressed by the author and not by I'M
perial Germany, and would be very innoc
uous stuff if printed. Mr. Glider said YES
terday:
Stories to the effect that Mr. Hale.s
article. had it appeared, would have
raised international complications. strained
diplomatic relations and otherwise con-
vulsed governments are really very silly
Mr.. Hale's article on Kaiser William
is simply chatty story of a visit had
by Mr.. Hale with the emperor aboard
the German imperial yacht Nowhere in
the article is the emperor quoted on any-
thing of a national or political character,
and nowhere in the article is there a sim
gle significant paragraph. 1t is just a
story that any one might write of an hour
spent In the company Of man in whom
many people are interested.
Omitted at Authors REQUEST.
THE Century Company is emitting the
story from its next issue at the authors
request. His request was made in the
first instance to me.
he came to me the other day and
asked me very earnestly that the article
be omitted from the December number be-
cause he thought German friends of his
who had secured his audience with the
kaiser would be pleased if the article
were not used
He laid great stress on the point that
on account of certain recent interview
which had caused him embarrassment
emperor William would be pleased if no
other interview with him were to appear
at present.
He explained that Emperor William
had been very courteous to him; that
some of the German people were at pres
ent ready to regard anything their ruler
might say as charged with significance
and that he. Mr.. Hale felt it would be
a poor return for the courtesy he had
received II anything written by him We're
to be used to annoy Kaiser Wilhelm
He was SO very urgent and earnest
about 1t that We agreed not to use his
story. especially as there was nothing
In 1t that was extraordinary.
No Pressure on the Country.
above all. no pressure from anywhere
except from the author. was brought to
bear on us. Certainly no German infiu-
ence figured. l don't believe any one
in Germany cares whether Mr.. Hale's
interview is printed or not If 1t were
spread broadcast over Germany tomorraW
1 don't believe 1t would arouse even as
much interest as 1t might arouse here"
Some of yesterdays papers gave ex-
tended space to stories in which it was
said that all Germany was sitting up
waiting for Mr., Hale's article to come
out and the intimation was very strong
that some one very close to the kaiser
himself had prevailed on Mr.. Hale to
kill his story.

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

The Impression on Ascending In .
Free Balloon.
One of the first questions which am
usually asked by persons seeking in
formation about balloons is, what is
the sensation of going up in balloon?"
writes Captain G. Def. Chandler, U. S.
A. 1 will anticipate this same inquiry
of the readers of this article and state
for their information that in free
balloon l have not noticed any peculiar
physical sensation which can be de-
scribed. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as sensation.
The impression on ascending in free
balloon is more an optical illusion. The
ascent is so slow and gentle that it
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
a beautiful colored map, showing cul-
tivated fields, forests, etc.
The greater part of the time bal
loon is moving either up or down, but
the motion is not apparent, and it re-
quires statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending.
If a considerable change Of altitude IS
made in a short time, the difference in
air pressure may be felt on the ear
drums. In descending even quite rap
idly 1 have never had any sensation OF
falling.-Journal Of Military Service.

THE DAISY-FIELD.

Man looked upon the sky by night,
And loved its tender azure, bright
With many a softly beaming light;
And sang his Makers praises.
'The sun declares Thee in Thy dread;
But from the stars Thy peace is shed:
Would that by day they comforted!'
God heard and made the daisies.
All in a armament of green
Their golden orbs now float, serene,
Twinkling with rays of silvery sheen,
To comfort him who gazes.
