Of fresh Young man, the son Of a

Soon after his Introduction he pro-

some adventure in which he had f.

"Did you really do that?' she ask.

And he began forthwith another
lengthy narrative, more startling even
than the first. The young woman
again politely expressed her surprise.

A third story followed, with anoth-

"Why?"

the aeronaut, resulting from injuries re-
ceived by a 500-foot foil from his dirigible
balloon, greatly shocked his friends in
this city, but did not, however, surprise,
for Jones has literally courted death
while giving exhibitions at amusement
parks in the vicinity of New York.
No more daring sky-pilot ever made as
tensions in this territory. and for while
scarcely week went by in which he
was not the victim OF some hair-raising
accident due, in great part. to his utter
fearlessness.
Only few weeks ago he fell into the
Hudson river from his airship. He was
rescued and continued to give exhibitions.
In a second accident he landed in his bal
loon on network of highly charged feed
wires. Friends warned Jones that he was
too daring, but the young aeronau, would
not abandon his fights.
Just after this Jones attempted an as
cension from New Jersey park and his
balloon broke away prematurely. The
aeronaut narrowly escaped being dashed
to pieces. He was carried across coun-
try toward the sound and after a thrill
Ing trip effected a safe landing at
Throgg's Neck. These are only a few
of the exciting events of his exhibitions

A SKILLED AERoNAUT.
Ono Of Younger Ones But Had Already
Become Famous.

Hammondsport, N. r., Sept. q
Charles Oliver Jones, killed at Water
willie, Me-, today was numbered among
the younger aeronauts but his work In
the field had already marked him DIS
one of the most successful exponents
of aerial navigation. He came here
year ago from his home in Cincinnati
with some entirely new ideas in regard
to airships and joined Alexander Ora
ham Bell and others in their expert
ments with balloons. 1t was Jones
who evolved the famous June Bug"
which made several record flights for
short distances. The June Bug won
the Scientific American trophy offered
for heavier than air machines, attain
ing a speed of about 80 miles an hour
against the wind.
There were seven scientists interest
ed in the experiments on Lake Keuka.
Each had different idea as to the
solution of the problem of aerial
flight, but they elaborated on the
work of building airships along lines
designed by each individual. The
June Bug" was the sixth machine
turned out and was generally. conceded
to be the best.
1t had been Jones' intention to go to
the experiment station in Nova Scotia
with Lieut. Selfridge of the United
States Signal Corps to work on new
aerOplane.
