OCEAN BALLOON TRIP
Boston Scientist Plans to Cross
to Europe In Few Days.
MUST SAIL AT GREAT HEIGHT.

Professor Henry II. Clayton In Ex-
planning His Project Says Atlantic
Flight Can Be Made In Three or
Four Days-ReIies on Upper Air
Currents.
A balloon trip across the Atlantic
and possibly around the world is the
object that Professor Henry FL. .ay-
ton, scientist and aeronaut, had in view
when he left his work as meteorological
at Blue Hill observatory short time
ago, says Boston dispatch. Through
his knowledge Of the air currents o.
car Erbsloh was able to win the inter
national balloon cup in the flight from
st. Louis in 1905, when the balloon
Pommern travelled halfway across the
continent.
Before he makes the aerial voyage
across the Atlantic Professor Clayton
plans test fight from San Francisco
to the Atlantic coast.
By taking advantage of the known
upper currents of air which he has
discovered during his long years of
study Professor Clayton declares he
can easily make the voyage from con-
t!nent to continent in three or four
days. These air currents, he says, are
reached at a height of two miles above
the earth.
"Air travel is practical and is bound
to supersede railroad trains and steam
ships" said he
1.-THE equipment Of such balloon as
would need for the intercontinent
voyage would amount to about $4,000
Already tentative offers have been
made me toward the proper equipment
of the balloon
"My idea is balloon twice the size
Of the greatest now in use, say of the
capacity of 100000 cubic feet of gas.
The necessary scientific instruments,
ballast and two men would still leave
margin OF sufficient lifting power.
81 would have the gas bag little
more than half filed with hydrogen
gas, so that as the balloon rose high
In the air the gas might expand until
1t filled the envelope entirely. At
night the balloon would shrink as the
tempera ture fell, and at the same time
the balloon would descend gradually.
In the daytime, in the full glare of
the suns rays, the gas would expand
and the craft rise
"A gradual outlet Of sand ballast
would overcome the inevitable leakage
Of the gas which is bound to occur.
no matter how tight the envelope is
made. With such balloon as have
planned the trip to Europe could be
made with considerable lifting force to
spare.
TT would take three or four days to
cross the Atlantic. With the present
knowledge we have Of the air currents
1t would not be impossible to desig-
nate beforehand approximately where
the balloon would touch in Europe
and the number of hours required to
make the voyage.
But, against emergencies, would
take along a lightly constructed boat
as balloon basket, so that If it sud
denly became necessary to descend the
boat might be foated upon the surface
of the water and equipped with
small sail and stores sufficient to last
until we were picked up

Nothing is so well nigh futile in life
as efforts to conceal things, motives
as well as deeds. Particularly is this
true if they are misdeeds and improp-
er motives. This is made apparent in
the words of the text, words of Christ,
the great teacher, the true philosopher
and prophet, which he delivered to his
disciples in one of his warnings to them
to beware of the leaven of the Phari-
sees, which he styled as hypocrisy.
Valuable as they are. forceful
through their terseness and explicit
ness, they are hardly necessary to en-
phasize this great truth. A moments
thought devoted to the experiences of
everyday life will establish it. Expo
sures of misbehavior in public life,
that the parties ito had every reason
to believe were sealed as perfectly
from the outside world as is the yolk
in an eggshell, are being reported
daily in the newspapers throughout
the world. Similar revelations are de-
veIoping daily in private life of things
which persons have endeavored to
hide, things which are too small to be
worth the chronicling in public prints
but which are of great Importance TO
the members of society in delineating
the characters of those who move in 1t
and in opening a way for the separa-
ton of the sheep from the goats.
OF course there are a few secrets
through which the light of day never
penetrates. Crimes are committed
that are never unravelled and for
which the guilty go on unpublished un-
fill the day of reckoning that Will
come to all when the judgment seat is
faced. But the undisclosed secrets are
few and the eventually undetected
crimes are not many, especially in 10
caIities where there are efficient
guardians of the peace. Murder will
OUT is an old cry, the truth OF which,
although it is not infallible, has been
proven time and time again.
With these considerations in nina
the. deduction is apparent that all
should SO conduct themselves that it
will not be even deemed necessary for
them to indulge in false representa-
tons. to commit actions, not necessar-
ilv criminal, which they may deem 1t
right to conceal from their friends
and the public in order that they may
not be looked upon as offenders
against decency and the law. Such
standard of life is a high one. and diff
hcult of attainment for mortal men,
but that is no reason why there shouIo
not be an earnest striving for 1T.

To Raise Arnold,s Flagship.

Traditions of sunken treasure are re-
Ylved by the report that the hulk Of the
Royal Savage, Benedict Arnolds flag
ship in his unlucky campaign against
the British in 1915. will soon be raised.
The unprecedeptedly low water now
makes it possible to see the wreck more
down the shore from this place in about
20 feet of water. whereas in ordinary
seasons 1t would be fully 80 feet below
the surface.
Those who are back of the project to
raise the wreck, however, expect the
historical interest of their finds to re-
pay them for their trouble, even if no
treasure be recovered. The work viii
be done by ]. E. Cushman. of BurlinE-
ton, under the direction of special
committee, consisting of ]. B. Riley, j.
H. Booth, and w. C. Wetherbee, APP
pointed by the New York state Cham
plain tercentenary commission. The
diver reports that about As per cent
of the hull is in a fair state of pre-
servation, and that it can be raised
practically intact. In case this can be
important feature of the celebration
here next year.
Several years ago a company was
organized for the recovery of the Royal
Savage gold, and it is currently believ-
ed that the United States troops at
Plattsburg barracks were employed to
drive away the members of an expedi-
ton which this company sent to raise
the treasure by night.
The Royal Savage was the flagship
Of 81 ships and small boats which were
gathered by Arnold in the summer of
1776 to support the land campaign of
Gen. Gates. On October IL he was at
tackled by a British 1otilla, command
ed by Capt. Pringle, as his boats were
drawn up in line across the channel
between Valcour Island and the west
ern shore Of the lake. After five
hour action the Royal Savage ground

burned to the waters edge by the Brit

The coming of night saved the Amer
leans from complete defeat, and Ar
mold succeeded in eluding the British
boats in the darkness-only, however,
to be decisively defeated two days later.
