BALLOONTNC BAD
THING FOR OXEN

Building balloons from dead cattlei'
Startling. isn't a.? Yet. as Percival spen-
Ger. the hero OF ] .25O balloon accents and
$50 parachute descents, explains. It Is none
the less justified.
"In the first place" says tho world
famous aeronaut in the St. Louis Post Dis
patch, "gold beaters' skin is a wonderful
gas holder. 1t is far better. as well as
lighter. than vanished fabric, India rub
hor covered silk, cotton or any other of
tho usual balloon fabrics. Every war hal
loon ordered By Great Britain Is made OF
this material. while the material itself is
made from a certain portion OF the in
testinal membrane OF an OK or COW. which
would otherwise be wasted. Thus you have
the curious fact that balloons arc built
from the waste material OF dead cattle.
"A great many cattle have TO be killed
to make ono balloon" says the aeronaut,
six hundred thousand oxen. for instance,
had to die before the balloons which my
brothers and myself are making for Count
Zeppelin's new airship could be proceeded
with. / do not mean 10 say that we had to
pay you for the slaughter of more than
half million cattle. but we had 70 place
orders for what is known as the peritoneal
membranes Of that number OF animals in
order to obtain what we wanted"
And then Mr.. Spencer took the inter
viewer across tho lawn az the back Of
his Highbury residence into the balloon
hall, where dozens OF men and girls we're
engaged in the evolution Of balloons for
the Zeppelin airship.

whole pattern. In the case Of a four
teen inch punch bowl this means the
loss Of $50.
Another kind of glass cutting is
known as stone engraving. 1t is done
with little stone wheels and copper
tools entirely by hand. The designs
are chiefly vines and flowers. They are
not cut deep and are often mistaken for
pressed glass. In reality they are the
most expensive kind of cut glass, the
price for a single piece Of large size
and ornate decoration reaching four
figures.
Glass cutting is not only a trade. but
an art and any one after seeing the
method employed will readily under
stand why genuine cut glass commands
high prices.

brought 70 pass should have resulted in
universal human reprobation.
Nevertheless. Friday has been a most
fortunate and fateful day in the history /
OF the New World. while 1s has always
been tho lucky number cf the United /
States, so that while they may hsve been
counted accursed in the Old World they
are identified with the most important and /
famous events in the New.
Let us glvo a little attention to the part
that Friday has played in the history of
our country.
IL was ON Friday. August 3, 1892, that
Columbus sailed from Palos, Spain, ON
his voyage Of discovery that gave a new
hemisphere and the worlds greatest free
nation to mankind, and IL was on Friday,
october Il. of the same year, that he made
land I'm the New World The voyage with
three small vessels that were scarcely
more than yawl boats, was made at a time
when the West Indian cyclones were most
TO be feared, but they sailed the unknown
seas without a storm.
IL was on Friday that Henry VII. OF
England gave commission 20 john Ca
bot, which led to the discovery OF North
America.
It was on Friday that St. Augustine. the
oldest town in the United States, was
founded
II was on Friday that the ship May
flower with the Pilgrims, landed at Ply
mouth, Mass
It was ON Friday that George Washing
ton was born.
II was on Friday that the Declaration
Of American Independence was adopted
It was on Friday that the British Cen
eral Burgoyne and his army surrendered
at Saratoga.
It was on Friday that the surrender OF
, CORVALLIS at Yorktown ended the war.
IL is evident from this that Friday, 80
s far from being an unlucky day in America
I should be deemed most fortunate

FRIDAY and the number ''1s' have long
been held to be specially unluclSy. This
evil reputation came evidently from the
last supper and crucihxion OF the Savior
At that memorable meal there were lS
al the table. one Of whom betrayed his
Lord TO a cruel death, while the crucifx-
ion occurred on Friday. These events were
doubtless in due course ordained for the
Salvation of mankind, and they were the
