 The poor quality of gas left the bal loon only slightly filled, and as 1t tended to collapse. it had a correspond ing tendency to elongate, hence the pressure upon the rope extending from the base of the appendix to the basket became great In fact almost the en- tire weight of the rigging beneath the line, and at length it parted.

 hours, apd declare the magnificent
 view of this phenomenon will always
 be pictured vividly upon their memory.
 "We drifted down the Mississippi,
 times the first night of our trip. The
 night was beautiful, and at 2:15 we
 had our first view of the comet. At
 2:45 it became marvelously brilliant.
 The grandeur of the country below,
 the luminous reflection from the father

 picture the like of which believe has
 never been enjoyed by other mortals. ]"

TEACHERS PETITION FOR SALARY INCREASE TAKEN
 UP BY BOARD OF EDUCATION

The petition of the grade teachers of the city to the Board of Education. asking for a substantial increase in salary, which was overlooked at the meeting of the beard held the first of the month, probably because of the fact that the matter of the Greek let ter societies were being discussed, came before the adjourned meeting last evening. The petition. on motion of Commissioner Brady, who favored the increase, was referred to the School and Finance committees with instructions to prepare a schedule and report to the board as soon as possible. The petition follows:
 To the Honorable Members of the
 Board of Education of Bridge
 Gentlemen-The principals, Nor nal school supervisors, and teach CTS employed in the public schools of Bridgeport, respectfully call your attention to the following facts:
 First-That the cost of living has increased to such an extent during the past few years that national attention is at present being di- rected to schemes whereby a prop CT adjustment may be established between remuneration for labor and the increased expenditure for the necessities of living.
 SecondHThat in nearly all fields of labor. outside of the teaching profession, demands have been made for increased remuneration, and that the justice of those de- nnands has been recognized and a readjustment to existing conditions has been the result.
 Third-That the teaching body, being composed mostly of women, deserves special consideration of it's claims, since, according to legal enactment, it has no direct inf1u- ence in securing it's own financial welfare.
 Fourth-That the salaries at pres ent paid to teachers do not com pare favorably with those paid in other departments of labor which call for less mental equipment and make less strenuous demands on

DAN WADSWORTH, HEAVIEST MAN IN CONNECTICUT,
 DIES RATHER SUDDENLY

"Dan'' Wadsworth. the heaviest man in Connecticut, died suddenly late last night. Wadsworth, who was 62 years old, was one of the best known men in Hartford, having been proprietor for number of years of the inn which had been the Wadsworth home stead for eighty years. He usually tipped the scales near 400 pounds. He was president of the Fat Mems Club, not only by right of election, but also by right of avoirdupois. Recently he had an attack of angina pectoris. Late last night he had another at- tack and succumbed before the doc tor arrived.
 One of his unpleasant recollections was of several visits of the state po- lice to his place, and three different times he was accused of selling li- quor illegally. The second time he did not have money enough to pay his fine, and having no means of rais- ing funds, had to go to jail. He was so large that he could not work there, and could not even get into cell. He spent his time leisurely about the corridors reading. The third time his fine was paid. .is

MOUNTAINEERS TAKE BALLOON
 FOR THE COMET
cContinued from Page one)

Another instance of this sort was reported to the disabled aeronauts while they lay in their cots in the little mountain cabin. One of the women who spied the balloon in the distance, gave vent to a hysterical outburst and cried out that she knew it was the end, that she knew it the moment she saw the Deity approach ing.
 Another young mountaineer who had led a wild sort of life rushed ex- citedly into the cabin, and called forth his mother. The latter told her son the end had come. Dads ready I'm ready, sonny she cried, "but what's to become of your
 An old woman who never was very strong on Christianity preferring to live according to her own religion grounding of the balloon, that she was never sure of the Bible story of the personality of the Deity until she saw him landing in Bastin's Bottom that afternoon.
 Mr. Forbes is still suffering from the shaking up he received when he and his comrade landed. Only for the air cushion taken along, as an afterthought,the two, said MT. Forbes, would have suffered broken backs. They landed in a sitting posture in their baskets, and the shock to their spines was so great that they have been stiff and sore ever since. The air cushion served to break the force of their fall.
 MT. Forbes described in detail to the Farmer today the cause of his mishap. There were three points in view in the flight, the records for distance, duration, and altitude. That for distance was eliminated before the start because of adverse meteoro- logical conditions. That for duration was eliminated because of the poor quality of gas. That for altitude was achieved, for Forbes and his com rade attained the greatest actually recorded height made without the aid of artificial respiratory appurten- ances. Three flights only have been recorded where greater elevations have been achieved, and these were made by scientists of Europe who against prostration from the rarity of the atmosphere.
 Owing to the poor quality of gas they were unable to take much more than half the proposed number of bags of sand used for ballast. This par tially accounts for the disastrous out come of their attempt to land.
 The Viking is equipped with rip ping panel. a strip extending from the top of the balloon down the side. and so connected with the basket suspend at a rope the panel is torn open all lowing the rapid escape of the gas. This is used just before landing that the balloon may remain grounded.
 Another rope extends down to an iron ring above the basket, this rope being attached to an appendix from the base of the big sphere extending
