fllmy mist, scarcely firm enough to
be felt as it brushed against my face.
We were winging our way between
the earth and sky in solid cloud
of mist.
We were lost in the mist. No land
mark was visible, nothing anywhere
but the soft film. II was as il the bi-

through the depths Of the ocean, so
completely immersed were we in the
fog and SO shut out from all else OF
the world.
I~~The moment was overfull OF sensa-
tons. Something appealed to every
sense. The rarefied air brought with
lit rarefied thought. Flying, 1T seems
to me, Is good for the soul. The mist
seemed TO be an alchemy which dis
solved the physical leaving only tie
spirit. On we flew, the cracking OF
the beetles wings incessant.
Then, as suddenly the biplane had
entered the mist. 1t shot out again
with a mighty downward sweep. Once

crooked stro.ms.

force that 1t seemed my body must
continue to fall forward. drawn down
by an irresistible magnet. Swooping,
rising, dipping, on went the bipiane
like the seagulls that play at tag on
the shore. Suddenly below the up
turned faces reappeared.
A last downward swoop, the wheels
of the machine touched the spongy
earth, and with a bobbing glide, We
stopped.
The flight was finished.
Over my whole body a warm glow

ground. My very brain tingled from

DIE IN MOLTEN METAL.
Three Auto Riders Met Tragic Death
When Train Hits Machine.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Three persons,
two women and man, were burned
to death in South Chicgao last night,
when the automobile in which they
were riding crashed into a car loaded
with molten Stag from the Wisconsin
Steel company.
The dead are: Peter Lesterhouse,
contractor; Mrs. Peter Lesterhouse;
Mrs. Brant Hunt, Englewood. Miss
Anna Baker, the fourth member OF the
automobile, escaped death by jumping,
but was badly bruised and burned.
The auto was two blocks from the
steel company when 1t started to
cross the tracks. The Stag train, back
ing on the track. hit the automobile,
cutting it in half. The occupants
were literally buried under tons OF
the white hot Stag metal.
Miss Baker leaped from the auto
mobile, but was unable to stop her
progress until she had rolled into the
flowing metal. The automobile was
set on fire by the Stag and the gaso-
line tank exploded.

That the export trade Is to become

prominent in politics and business life,
Col. Roosevelt last night stirred his
hearers TO wild enthusiasm by his
scathing denunciation OF the political
conditions in Illinois. Senator Lori

quet by Col Roosevelt because OF the
charges that he was elected by bril-
berry, refused to discuss the matter.
His seat at the function was occupied
by James Il. Garfield.
The great banquet hall at the Coz
gress hotel never witnessed such a
scene, nor echoed to such tumult as
followed the close of Col. Roosevelt
address. The members of the Hamil-
ton club, under whose auspices the
banquet was given, together with their
guests, stood on chairs and tables,
maving handkerchiefs in the widest
manner, while they cheered the speak
er at the top OF their voices.
After mis- Introduction Col. Roose-

were matters to be treated only with
directness. Following this he took up

British electioneering tactics have

minor details of the campaign, how
ever, remain the same. Mr.. Labou

Windsor in the seventies canvassed
six hours each day for month, kissed

day. But when the final survey was

Tory who went to fish in punt was
kept in the middle of the river until
his vote was useless. Another aged

him whenever he tried to issue from
his door. The Liberals won, but the
Tories petitioned successfully.

New York, May I'm the pres
ence of President Taft, prominent
navy officials and an immense con
course of spectators, Uncle Sans
newest Dreadnought, the Florida, was
launched today. Miss Elizabeth Flem7
ing of Florida, who was appointed for
the purpose by Gov. Gilchrist, cracked
a bottle of wine over the bows of the
leviathan as she slipped down the
ways. The hull, which is about 60
per cent completed, already weighs
5000 tons, making her the heaviest
vessel at the time of launching ever
sent into the waters of this country
So great was the momentum of the
unweildly mass as it plunged into the
East river that a great fleet of tugs,
pulling with all their might, were
necessary to prevent the naval mon
ster from plunging into the Williams
burg bridge.
By executive order of President
Taft, the day was made a holiday for
the workmen at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard Tonight the president will be
the guest of honor at a dinner to be
given by the skilled workmen who
have had a part in the construction
of the hull of the Florida.
The Florida is the largest warship
ever built in an American navy yard,
being 521 IL feet long, So feet 2 IL
inches wide, with a displacement of
1926 tons. With her sister ship, the
Utah, she outranks all Dreadnoughts
in size now afloat, except the Colus-
sus, of the British navy, launched a
few days ago The Florida will cost
approximately $10,0000O0, of which
sum $4,000 900 will go into the hull
and machinery and the remainder in
to armament and ammunition. The
armament will consist of ten Pinch
guns and sixteen 5-inch guns. Hell
speed will be about twenty-one knots
with a horsepower Of $4,000. There
will be provisions for oil as well as
coal fuel.
