GRAND CIRCUIT
 RACES LIVELY

Columbus, O.. septgmber 25.-The play CTS of favorites in today's grand circuit races here just about broke even, as the fayorites won two of the events and were outside the money in the other two.
 There were four races on the card to- day, it being the programme which was postponed from Friday. The POT pace was first on the card with six starters. Baron Whips was made a strong favorite over the field and his packers were justi- fled as he won three straight heats with out the slightest trouble, the second be- ing paced in 2:05A.
 The 215 trot brought the first upset of the day Maud Caesar sold favorite at $25, and the field of 12 others sold at s60 The favorite was never better than fourth the race going to the Toledo horse. Startle, driven by Joe Gahagan.
 Melva won the first heat and was sec- ond to Startle in the other three.
 The 213 pace was cut in two divisions In the first division Rose K was made favorte, and after losing the first heat to Meadow Brook went ahead and took the other three easily.
 In the second division of the 2:13 pace, with II starters, there was another upset. Alcyfras was made favorite, but after many efforts to get her to start with the others she was practically left at the post in the first heat and distanced. Mag gie c won this heat, but Harry Nc then took the next three without trouble.

Disturbance Noted Early.

Washington. September 25-(Special,- The severest magnetic storm recorded at the Cheltenham, Md, magnetic obserya- tory of the coast and geodetic survey since the observatory was put in opera tion In April, 1901. made it's appearance on that institutions delicate instruments today. The prevalence of this storm. which is due to the influence of the aurora borealis, was first noted by the observer upon his usual examination of the instru- ments just before o'clock this mo <ling. The magnetic disturbances began about 2:30 o'clock this morning, but the very large disturbance did not occur until a little over four hours later.
 The disturbance was so great as to dispace the magnets beyond the limits of the record sheet and to upset the ad- justments of the instruments.
 The daily meteorological reports of weather conditions throughout this and foreign countries to the United States weather bureau were vitally affected be- cause of the crippled condition of tele- graph and cable service due to disturbed electrical currents in the earth and air on account of the aurora borealls
 Officials of the naval observatory were immensely in the condition brought about by the phenomena, but stated that the time service there was not affected by the disturbance.
 This performance on the part of the aurora boreals is a regular decennial happening Why the aurora should send electric currents flashing over all the world every ten years nobody seems to know.
 Ten years ago the disturbances lasted two or three days in some parz oS smer- lea and longer in Europe.

such accidents is to equip the dir lglbles with planes by which it can glide to the earth in the event of the envelope bursting.
 Count Henri de la Vaulx said:
 Aviation will still have it's vic tims, but this will not prevent those who have consecrated themselves to the conquest from doing what duty calls. Automobiles and railroads have caused many deaths, but this has not stopped their development"
 The correspondent of one of the Paris papers says:
 The balloon was swinging along majestically when, without the slight est warning, the accident occurred The blade of the propeller had be- come detached and plowed through the envelope. Immediately the bal loon collapsed and we saw a great rent. Before it had fallen 30 feet the car was completely enveloped and the shapeless thing dropped down to earth. There was a terrific crunching sound when it struck, and when ~e reached the spot the envelope, car and rigging were a tangled mass The motor was still very hot and a strong odor of gas warned us to wait, but a stream of blood flowing out beneath the wreckage made us forget the dan ger. We rushed in and extricated the mangled and bleeding forms.''
 The correspondent says that he saw no flame and heard no detonation. Nevertheless, at the ministry of war it was impossible to account for the rapid fall of the balloon except on the theory that it had exploded after be- ing struck.
 Major T. Bentley Mott, the military attache of the American embassy, and other military attaches have presented to the French government the con dolences of their respective govern ments.

 LOSE THEIR LIVES Four Army { ficers Killed By
 Bursting of Balloon PROPELLER FLIES APART Balloon Is Flying About Four Hundred Feet High When Accident Hap

 to the Ground.
PROPELLER FLIES APART

Moulins, France, September 25.- The French dirigible military balloon Republique exploded in the air five miles from here this morning and was completely wrecked. The four men on board were killed. They are Cap tain Marchal, Lieutenant Chaure and Sub-Lieutenants Vincenot and Reux. The Republique left La Palisse, where she had been engaged in the recent army maneuvefs, at o'clock this morning, in charge of Captain Mar .chal. She passed over Moulins at 8: 45 at an altitude of 400 feet. go- ing at a high rate of speed and ap- parently under perfect control. The officers in the cars were waving their hands in response to the enthusiastic cheers from the people below them, when, without warning, the airship ex- p1oded with. loud report.
 At the time she was sailing at an altitude Of more than 900 feet. The wrecked envelope and car fell to the ground immediately and the four men on board were crushed to death.
 It was the intention of Captain Mar chal to stop at Meyers and an automo- bile containing mechanics was follow ing the balloon. It was almost di- rectly beneath it when the disaster occurred. The car fell straight down, carrying the fluttering remnants of the envelope and the occupants were buried beneath the wreckaae. All were dead except Lieutenant Chaure, but he lived only few minutes after be- ing removed. The bodies were trans ported to the Chateau d'Avrilly, the property of the Marquis de Cavannes.
 According to members of the auto- mobile party the balloon burst sudden ly and the car fell with the rapidity of stone. Apparently death in the case of the three men had been in- stantaneous
 An examination of the airship dis closed the cause of the accident. The axle of the right propeller had broken and the propeller had passed through the envelope, falling in a field about 150 yards away.
 Premier Briand arrived here this evening and has arranged for an i'm posing military funeral for the vic. tims at Versailles, probably on Mon- day.
 A careful investigation of the &C., cident will be held but that the fact that the broken propeller, which was found, was enwrapped with twisted silk, is accepted as confirmation that the blade flew off and cut the bal loon.

Disaster Is National Calamity.

Paris, September 25.-The loss of the republique assumes the magnitude of national calamity, especially as the French had come to believe that the semi-rigid type, which is the sys- tenn employed in the construction of their dirigibles, was superior to the rigid type which has been adopted by Count Zeppelin of Germany. Presi- dent Fallieres and General Brun, min ister of war, who were informed of the catastrophe while the inaugura- tion of the first international exhibi- tion of aerial craft was being held at the Grand Palais, were much affect ed, and left the building immediately. The President directed General Brun to send the coincidence of the gov ernment to the families of the dead men.
 The accident recalled that in 1902, the dirigible balloon La Paix, belong ing to the Brazilian, Severe, explod- ed at a height of 1900 feet, while en route from Paris to Issy, killing the pilot and mechanician. The con- census of opinion, however, lis that no accident, no matter how deplorable, can now stop the onward march of aviation.
 M. Briand, the premier, and M. Brun left for Moulins this afternoon to pay tribute to the dead officers.
 The cause of the accident was the subject of discussion among the ex- perts at the exhibition.
 M, Rueff, who Is showing hybrid dirigible aeroplane at the exhibition, believes that the only way to prevent

ELECTRIC STORM
 PARALYzES WIRES
Aurora BoreaIis Sends Forth
 Big Waves of Electricity
VOLTAGE IS VERY HEAVY
From New York to Birmingham the Disturbance Is Noted and in Some Cases the Wires Could
 Be Run Without Batteries.

New York, September A. Especial. )-To- days magnetic storm spread it's inhu- ence over Eastern New York. Pennsyl- Vania and the New England states and practically paralyzed every telegraph wire in the affected sections and laid the Atlantic cables helpless
 Wire chiefs in the telegraph offices first noticed the disturbance about 6:5O o'clock The wires working with eastern and western points went dead" one af- ter another.
 Atlantic cables began to show trouble and the long distance lines of the tele- phone systems were reported useless in- definitely. The influence on the electric systems displayed an intermittent char acter The wires would work apparent ly all right and then suddenly go dead for few minutes and then picked up lame1y.
 In this symptom the wire chiefs rec- ognized the aurora borealis, a phenome- non known before, but hardly so se- were.
 With the web of wires, which radiates from New York in all directions, useless, It was slow and difficult work to learn the extent of the disturbance. The dis turbance was severe over southern New England and Long Island, then moved westward carrying down every means of election communication before it. As far west as Cincinnati and Chicago the cir cults were in trouble. Long distance tele- phone lines were useless
 The wave showed the first signs of passing at S51 o'clock and seemed to be moving then rapidly westward. From wire points picked up momentarily it was reported that it's influence had extended as far south as Birmingham.
 During the height of the storm the measuring instruments in the telegraph offices of this city registered a pressure on the wires of 300 volts of electric cur rent from the mysterious source This is greater voltage than is supplied for the operation of any of the land wires It lighted the incandescent resistance lamps attached to the telegraph wires and bril- liant sparks flashed across the gaps when the telegraph keys were opened.
 A dispatch from Chicago stated that San Franclsco and Seattle, as well as Chicago, had felt the disturbance. All telegraphic operations in Chicago were at a standstill at o'clock. The Chicago weather bureau officials said they believed the center of the magnetic storm was in Manitoba The phenomenon, while much of an en. igma, Is known to be closely associated with the electromagnetic action of the earth, although its intermittent effects such as were manifested today, are not fully understood. Scientists say the most probable explanation is that the solar radiations of the aurora borealis possesses electromagnetic energy which, when it reaches the earth, is divided into two principal fields. One of these passes through the earth in line nearly parallel to the line joining the two magnetic poles and the other parallel to the place of the elliptic The first acts by the law of magnetic induction and the second by the law of magnetic refraction
