HOW IT FEELS TO FLY

Thomas S. Baldwin, one of the old
balloonists, contributes to the eastern
press an article in which he tells US
how it feels to fly. The article is more
interesting in its assertion that flight
through the upper air is a healer of
disease. In his own person Baldwin
has effectively cured rheumatism. In
one friend he made an end Of consump-
ton. And another was relieved Of
dyspeptic govt.
Baldwin believes that the body gets an
unexpected quality of buoyancy from
the upper air, SO that the weight Of the
body seems entirely lost on returning
to the earth's surface.
The article is especially timely in
view of the greater attention paid to
aeronautics. It's appearance is another
indication Of the strong interest in the
subject. There is reason to believe
that the next ten years will do as
much in the conquest of the air as the
past ten have done in the development
Of the horseless carriage. And the chief
reason is that the attention OF man has
been directed, generally. to that work.

RESPONSIBLE TO THE NATION.

It is pleasing to read in the morning
paper that the strike at McKee's
Rocks, in Pennsylvania, is about over;
that the differences between employers
and men IS adjusted; that all the 500
strikers of July are to be taken back
in September and that the objectiona-
BILE rules forced upon the men have
been rescinded.
But it will not be forgotten that men
were killed in actual battle between
the states militia and the unemployed
workingmen. It will not be forgotten
that here is a struggle which involved
about 10000 persons directly, and
through them all the men and women
of the United States. Matters of that
magnitude cannot be dropped and for
gotten.
What demand of the company pro-
voked the strife? Was it such demand
as may be Endorsed by the judgment
of the public? Have the interests of
the workingmen. always a part of the
community, been disregarded to a
harmful extent? And on what terms,
exactly, are the old men to be taken
baek-an6 what is to be done with the
new men.twho have been installed dur
ing the strike?
Every man has a right to manage his
own business in his own way-so long
as his way is not harmful to the pub
lie. He shall not be called to account
when he has proceeded in such manner
as to avoid trespassing on the rights of
any one else. But when his conduct Of
his business seriously affects the lives
and the living Of men-and the women
and children dependent upon them;
when it becomes serious enough to de-
nnand the presence of a states soldiery;
when an incident in it is the shooting
down of human beings-then it is mat
ter for general investigation.
And the nation will be better served
by a thorough inquiry into every de-
TAN of that strike. II is one Of those
things that should not become chaTac-
teristic of the American ration.

A NEWSPAPER STORY.

The telegraph has just brought the
story Of an ice cave near Flagstaff,
Ariz.; an ice cave In which party of
venturesome fellows were almost
frozen to death when rescued by the
more seasoned citizens OF Flagstaff.
We don't know whether Flanders or
the Mole St. Nicholas liar. or the be-
fore time correspondent from Hancock,
IL, is In Arizona But we will believe
that ice cave yarn when they bring it
UP here and show it.
Which reminds one of a story.
In the long. long ago. when the old
Chicago Herald was published in Fifth
avenue. AMI when Cornelius McAuliff
WIS night editor. a telegram came one
hot July night from Spirit Lake, Iowa,
calmly announcing that the landseek-
ers. who had been lost in the ice cave
Eve DAYS before, had that evening been
rescued by the sheriff and his posse,
and that their frozen limbs and ears
were being treated in the kindly homes
Of Spirit lake people.
Think of that in a Chicago July!

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

Away over in the hottest part of Per-

an oil field and will build a city of re-

actual Garden of Eden. Considerable

place believed by Moses and his cotem-
poraries to have been the actual cradle
Of the race is an island in the river

Perceval Landon, a perfectly depend
able writer:
There can hardly he a doubt that the
Island of Ahadsn. formed by the Bar
meshir estuary and the Shatt-el-Arab'
will be the place selected. 1t is worth
passing thought that, according to the
tradition and the firm belief of the Mo
hammedau jewellers in MesopOtamia and

by the EUphrates. Tigris and the karun,

a few of the minor details. When we

out of these new orchard schemes all

may be averted. And when we can as
