"No," she replied, "but a great,

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
A Balloon Ascent Into the Oceans OF
Air, Where Silence Reisns.

Air, Where Silence Reisns.
You are floating softly upward
into a great blue ocean of air, fresh,
sweet, exhilarating. Swiftly the
earth sinks away beneath you, bowl
ing up around the horizon line till
it seems like the mouth of an enor-
nous crater. The noisy shouts of
'Bon voyagew die away in a faint,
wavering strain, and soon you are in
the midst of original silence. Not a
sound is heard save the quick tick
ing of the barograph.
The earth changes into a great,
strange map. Tall buildings look
like pepper boxes and then are lost
in the general squatness. Cities and
villages become mere diffused out
lines of ground plots. Fences change
into tiny, evanescent lines. Roads
look like pale yellow ribbons and
rivers like silver cracks in the
earth's surface.
Over there is a thin white streak
of smoke weaving its length over
the green vista. A train is rushing
along. Suddenly it is gone, swal-
lowed up, it would seem, in that
strange looking earth. But, no. 1t
has merely plunged into a tunnel
beneath a towering mountain, the
very presence of whichis lost to the
balloonist's eye.
Now you pass above the clouds
and into a dazzling sunlight. The
white billows beneath, with the
shadow of the car upon them, look
like great trackless fields of snow.
So realistic is the scene it seems as
if you could put on snowshoes and
walk away.
You are on a new planet now,
reused with a wonderful exhilara-
tion. Beautiful rainbow effects Gre
ate veritable fairyland all about
you. Suddenly faint, weird music
of sweetest cadence strikes the ear
and is gone as swiftly as it came.
That is some great, jarring noise
from the earth OF the heterogene-
Gus roar of big city merged into
measured vibrations of harmony and
waited up to your new world by
some upspringing current of air.

Ancient lnkstands.

An inkstand that was probably in
use 3,4O0 years ago is in a museum
in Berlin. 1t is of Egyptian make
and is supposed to belong to the
eighteenth or nineteenth dynasty or
somewhere about 1900 B. c., al
though its real age can only be judg-
ed of approximately. 1t is made of
wood and has two compartments, an
upper one provided with two holes,
one for black and one for red ink
and a lower one for holding reed
pens. The black and the red inks
are certainties, for some still re-
mains, in a dry condition, within
the receptacles. Another ancient
inkstand is supposed to have been
intended for the use of a schoolboy.
1t would certainly hold ink enough
for a schoolboy's needs, for it has no
fewer than four ink holes. Both
