Rigid Balloon Idea
Conceived Long Ago

made I'D in the interior of number of
sectional balloons adapted, to the as
occasional force required. The car un-
derneath was to form part of the frame
ard to be capable of carrying a num-
Der of passengers. The propellers
were to be in pairs on each side, and
the only thing to make it complete
were the explosion motors, which at
that time had not been invented, and
which were to be replaced by light
ordinary pattern.

In 1873 NJ. Spiess submitted the
drawings to the patent office, and took

design to the war office, but needless
to say. the excellent chiefs Of the de-
partment in those days did not deem
it worth their while to notice his
plans. The specifications were care

why he would take up the time to en-
gage in gorgeous festivities in Turkey,
where his wife was decorated with
the insignia of the "Order of Kind
ness" an ancient Turkish society, by
the sultan, if he could not find time
to draw a long breath in Paris or cast
his eyes upon st. Peters in Rome. This
was in reply to Mr.. Benefits state
ment that his trip to Paris was rec
ord breaking for brevity.
Basing his remarks on inspection
Of the official records, Mr.. Macon char
ged that in the Holy land the COM
mission made carriage trip from
to Jerusalem; that in London they
had carriage to the ambassadors
and return, carriage to the house
of lords, to Westminster Abbey, TO
the Tower of London, to Regent
Square and the British museum; that
in Syracuse, they had a carriage to
the catacombs: that in Messina they
had a ride in a landau; that in Scot
land they had a pleasure ride to the
castle of Edinburgh, and in Ireland
to the famous lakes of Killarney.
"The commission wanted to find on.
the kind of immigrants that come to
this country from all these places, in
Guiding the catacombs, where sleep
and decay the bones of the departed"
said Mr.. Macon, sarcastically.
He suggested that to have gone to

been as practicable as to hunt devils

Election No Guarantee of Honesty.
Election to congress-, he contin-
ued, was not conclusive evidence o.!
integrity. nor did it make Mr. Bennett
immune from attack.
"A much larger percentage of con-
gressmen, whether members of the
house or Of the senate, have been
charged with crime and made to stand
trial for felonies and incarcerated in
felon's cells he declared, ethan OF

THE very suggestion that one ought
not to charge congressman with
having done wrong until the letter OF
of every word of every fact charged
against him can be proven to a math
ematical certainty, is so contrary to
what l believe to be right that it is
actually disgusting.
"The commission defends itself
against the charge of extravaganza
and so did the capitol commissions
ers of the state of Pennsylvania defend
themselves against extravaganza ex-
penditureS in the construction of that
building. Morse, of New York. and
Walsh of Chicago, both high up in
life, defended their extravagant expen-
ditures of trust fluids. One of them
is now serving time in the peniten-
tiary at Atlanta and the other at Fort
Leavenworth."
