New York.-No such welcome was
ever before given an American citizen
as that which was accorded Theodore
Roosevelt when he returned to the
land Of his birth on June 1s. In &C.
cordance with his request, the greet

and indeed his injunction was scarcely
needed. for 1t seemed the entire ma.
tion was eager to welcome home the
former president.
Since emerging from the African
Jungle the latter part of March. Mr.
Roosevelt has been the guest of near
x every European ruler and almost
unprecedented honors have been
heaped on him. The reception by
his fellow citizens was n fitting ell
max to his triumphal tour and must
have been the most satisfactory event
connected with It.

1t does not seem possible that our
greatest Of national holidays is again
30 close at hand.
All during this week and next, So
cial functions may carry out patriotic
features. AS the glorious Fourth"
comes on Monday. celebrating goes
on both before and after" much to
the small boys delight.
Several card clubs are planning for
military euchre. Sets may be pur-
chased. and consist of large flagpoles
with holes in them to hold the little
flags. 1t is, however, quite impossible
to make your own. In this case fort
may be made for each table with a
dish or a small bright tin pan filed
with sand. Each fort is named in
stead OF the table being numbered, and
the tally cards have on them the
names of the forts. four or six bear
Ing the same name. This, Of course.
Will depend upon whether the game
Is four or six handed euchre.
The tally cards are drawn and when
the players find their forts they "cut"
to see which two or three shall hold
the fort. Then 1t does not matter
who wins, the two or three drawing
the lot to progress must go on until
they again reach their own fort, when
they are permitted to hold 1t and the
original holders progress.
The winners of each game at each
table are given small flag which
they carry back and plant on their own
fort. When the games are finished
the fort having the most flags wins,
so four or six prizes must be pro.
vided. one for each player at that
particular fort. The military colors
and idea should be carried out as far
as possible in the refreshments and
whatever decorations may be used.

colors to obtain in anything but flow

corn flowers nor forget-me.nots are

Omaha, Neb.-Rallooning and a

the United States army Is receiving
great boost from the balloon school
now open at Fort Omaha, the head
quarters of the signal corps of the
army. Hundreds of officers from the
different army posts are being given
the instruction and In groups Of from
25 to 80 are being taught to navigate
the air.
The course includes the building OF
balloons. imitation. the ascent, flight
and descent. During the flight in,
struction is given in handling the bal.
loon and in searching for desired air
currents.
At Fort Omaha the government ha.
erected the largest balloon house In
the world and has installed and
equipped the only plant on the Amer.
lean continent for securing hydrogen
by the electrolysis of water. From
this plant hydrogen, under enormous
pressure. is shipped In steel tubes to
other posts in different portions OF
the country.
The feature of the present school
is the imported German balloon. 1t

STUDYING THE BENDS"
Effects Of Atmospheric Pressure as
Demonstrated in a HOSPITAL.

London Cor. New York Medical Journal.
An interesting series of experiments is
being carried out at the London Hos
pital in connection with the effects of at
mospheric pressure on the blood and cir
culation.
1t is well known that human beings can
bear enormous pressures of air without
i'll effects. provided such pressure is not
put upon them suddenly, and the transi-
ton to the normal is gradual.
Thus the men who work in the Gals
sons are subjected for several hours at a
time to an atmospheric pressure several
times greater than the normal but before
entering compressed air chamber they
are sent through one "air lock" in which
the pressure is slowly raised by air pumps
from that of the outside air to that OF
the caisson. Similarly it has been found
that II the pressure is slowly reduced
when 1t is time for such workers to re-
turn to the outer air no harm results.
On the other hand. the sudden extreme
rise of pressure or sudden lowering of
the pressure is followed by very danger
Gus or fatal symptoms.
At the London Hospital a compressed
air chamber has been constructed which
Is just large enough to comfortably ae-
commodate a man lying at full length:
it has stout plate glass window, the
scanty light from which is supplemented
by electric lights within. The chamber
Is fitted up with apparatus for pumping
in air and Measuring the air pressure In

REMARKABLE SEA VOYAGE.
Schooner Sailed From Nome to
Seattle by Landlubbers.

From the Seattle Post -Intelligcncer
AS an Illustration of adaptabillty to cir
cumstances and the Willingness to take
chances i'm order TO achieve results of
any kind Of the men who open up a new
country to civilization, recent incident
Is instructive A little schooner reached
Seattle recently from Nome, on Boring
sea. She had made the voyage down
during the most tempestuous season of
the year in the north Pacific, and mad
survived storms which tried well found
steamships Of the better class. Yet there
was not a man on board, from the cap
tain down, who had ever made a voyage
at sea- save as passengers, on a boat
running to Alaska. There were no navi-
eating instruments on board save COM
mass and an obsolete Russian chart of
the north Pacific.
These men wanted to come out for the
winter, and \. there was no other way
within their means to accomplish the
trip They got hold of the schooner and
they started with her. They were not
seamen or nayigators. simply handy men
who were accustomed TO doing things for
themselves. This was out OF the routine,
time circles as the most remarkable voy-
age in the annals of the Pacific. but it is
hardly that. Men of like type have done
as remarkable things on this coast and
even more remarkable ones For ex-
ample, many years since two men who
had been prospecting in Berins sea made
the voyage down to Seattle in a two-man
bidarka, a native skin canoe. They had
to land through the surf on the beach

Genius in the Making.

From the Charleston SewsCourier.
Harvard has professor by the name
of Baker. who thinks that it would be a
good thing for colleges to teach students
how to write plays. We do not know
that Prof. Baker has ever written any
plays himself, but that is no reason why
he could not teach other people to do so.
In fact, very often those who do not
know how to do thing themselves are
very apt in teaching others how to do it.
The layman is always certain that he
can preach "A better sermon than his
minister. and we have yet to discover the
man who does not know more about how
TO conduct newspaper than any jour
.nalist now in harness.
II may be said that plays, like poetry.
are the product of genius. and it follows
that if we can teach young men how to
write plays. real plays, We can create
our geniuses. What an advance that
would be. There are dozens of schools
that teach pupils how to write short
stories: that is, they charge these pupils
a good round sum. and some of the stu
dents do write stories when they finisl,
the course. just as they had probably
written stories before they studied how
TO do so. 1t is true, too, that there is a
remarkable sameness In these stories II
may account for the modern magazine
effort, which, in general is made to or
der and follows rules as rigidly as if IL
were a house and not a tale that were
being built.

Protecting the Streams.
From the Boston Herald.


A Texan member of Congress has in
troduced a bill making 1t a penal offense
for any individual. firm or corporation To
pollute stream by the discharge of sew
erage into Its waters. Massachusetts has
q similar law. with few exempted riy
ers, and it should be copied in eyerv
state Of the Union. But why apply such
a prohibition to individuals, firms and
corporations and permit cities and towns
to poliute streams at will? If an In

recognize the right OF the public to pure

to take care of it's waste and sewage
consistent with the health and comfort
of the community. the municipal corpo-
ration and the town should be required
to recognize a similar responsibility
