FIFTH BALLOON IN SEA.
HeIvetia Added to Contestants That
Coma 10 Grief.

Como to Grief.
Berlin. Oct, 15.-Advices are at hand
from Molde, Norway, telling of
the descent of the Swiss balloon
Helvetia to the ocean and the rescue
of Colonel Schaeck and e. Messner. a
dispatch read as follows:
"a fishing boat this afternoon res
cued occupants of the balloon Helve-
tia at the last moment as they were
singing. the gas being totally ex-
hausted. The balloon was saved.
Schaeck and Messner remained here
over night and proceeded to Christian
sand today"
Molde is only thirty-two miles south
west of Christiansand and to reach this
point the Helvetia must have Travelled
about 1850 kilometers. or 775 miles
in a direct line, and must have trau-
eled over the Skagerrack or the s.
greater body of the North Sea.
This is by far the greatest distanc.
yet reported to the credit of any OF
the contestants, the majority of whom
either took circular course or were
compelled to descend on account OF
their proximity to water.
The Helvetia is the fifth balloon
among the International contestants to
come to grief; the Conqueror and the
Montanes burst at high altitude and
the Saint Louis and Castillo were
wrecked in the North Sea- Altho no
casualties followed these disasters, the
escape of the ten men who were in the
unfortunate balloons was almost mir
aculous.
The most serious apprehension is en-
tertained for the safety of the other
two airships. They have not been heard
from for three days.

conspicuous figure in this years
foot ball squad at Yale is the young
Count Vallombrosa de Mores. Now and
then the classmates of the youth put
questions such as these to him:
"How many hundreds of years old
is your title?"
"Have you ever met the king OF
England or any other kings"
"Is a French count equal in rank to
an English lord?"
These questions were asked sincerely
enough, but the count hestitates to an
swer them, for he fears that their pur-
pose is to ridicule him. The other
day he said to an inquisitive young San
Franciscan:
"My friend, it is useless to attempt
to make sport of me. know how you
Americans despise titles. I am wiser
than the young duke of Middlesex and
Southwark was"
"1'he duke Of Middlesex and South
wark? Do you know him?" said the
San franciscan reverently.
NO" the other answered. II don't
know him, but have heard about him.
He inherited his title early, and he was
a duke when he entered Eton Being
proud and arrogant. he did not mingle
with the Eton boys at first. A few
DAYS after his arrival he stood alone in
a corner Of the playground, watching
the games little scornfully. A boy
of about his own age ran UP and said:
"I say, who are you?
"T am the duke of Middlesex and
Southwark he replied.
"'The duke of Middlesex and South
wark, eh?' said the boy. WELL here's
a kick for the duke Of Middlesex, and
there's another for the duke of South
wark.'"

destroyed by fire this morning about
9 o'clock. The barns dimensions We're

covered by insurance in the Jasper
County Mutual. This is the fifth fire
in Newton since Sunday noon, but the
damage done by the other four was
very slight.
