NEW GAS FOR BALLOONS.

A new German invention OF value for
non-dirigible balloons is reported by Con-
sui Thomas H. Norton. Of Chemnitz:
Illuminating gas is forced through long
tubes. maintained at very high temper
allure. Most OF the carbon in the hydro
carbons is thus separated out and the per-
centage OF hydrogen Is largely increased
so that this gas constitutes so per cent
Of the modified coal gas. AT the same
time It is deprived almost entirely Of its
Characteristic odor and freed from the
presence OF benzine. which exerts an I'M
desirable solvent action upon the mate
rails employed TO render balloons imper-
meabie. The most important change Is
that In buoyancy. as the specific gravity
sinks rom GA 20 OPS, or less than one
quarter the weight OF air. This means
that l cubic meter of the new gas can
support a weight OF l kilo C2.2 pounds).
In coal gas, cubic meter supports OF
kilo. A balloon with a capacity OF 1000
cubic feet. when inflated with the new
gas, has lifting power equal to that Of
a balloon OF 10000 cubic feet charged with
ordinary coal gas.

MACHINES AT STORE
TURNING OUT SHOES
Crowds See Footwear Made
at Berberich'S Branch.

Lots Of people have wondered just what
process the leather they wear on their
feet has gone through before it changes
from raw material to a shapely mascu-
line boot or a dainty feminine slipper,
and now they have the chance 70 find
out. because Berberich's branch store has
been temporarily turned into a miniature
factory.
Every day from y to IN the afternoon
and from to 20 in the evening machines
will turn out perfectly appointed shoes OF
such well-known brands as the Craddock
shoes for men, which are made at Lynch
burg. Va. where the Craddock-Terry
Company has large plant. and the
elaborate machinery that the United Shoe
Machinery Company has installed at Ber-

avenue, is a replica OF the kind used in
that factory.
Crowded to Doors.
The footwear it turns out is guaranteed
to wear at least thirty days longer than
any other brand at $3.50 a pair. The
Goodyear welt process is used.
Many OF those who attended the first
evening performance were considerably
astonished at the number Of things that
have TO be done before a good shoe is
ready for the market After visitors had
seen the thing done withFth own eyes.
they were handed a handsome little
pamphlet describing the process in de-
tail
The evolution OF a shoe is no simple
thing, and lots Of callers last night want
ed 70 know of the courteous attendants
how they could afford to sell them for
$3.50. They were told that the reason
the House OF Berberich has been built
up in forty years from tiny shoe shop
to great business concern is that they
were satisfied to give a good shoe at a
moderate price instead OF playing for
quick profits.
Many or the regular patrons OF Berbe-
rich's store, n16-lS-2O-22 Seventh street
northwest, managed TO get around to the
branch store.
Every detail Of the remarkable method
OF making shoes was shown The ma
chimes, which at first seem intricate, are
arranged so the throng can understand
how each works. Visitors who pass down
the long aisle are able to see just why
the shoes turned out are comfortable,
durable, and well appearing.
When the machines were first started
the store was crowded, and there
was no slaekeniug Of interest during the
exhibitions. 1t is the first time such an
exhibition has been attempted In Wash

No Chance TO Invest.
There is plenty OF capital In Ireland:
In fact, more than we know what 20 do
with. Irish money is compelled 10 seek
investment elsewhere; there is no oppor-
tunity, or at least very little. to invest

visiting their native country this year

Ireland is not an industrial country; it
Is mostly agricultural In years 10 come,
maybe. the farming districts Of Ireland
Will have 70 make way for the industrial
advance. the same as was the case IN
Japan. which used to be mainly an agri-
cultural country until a very few years
ago. Another very great drawback 10
developing the resources Of Ireland is the
lack OF young men. Ireland's young men
and women are scattered 10 all parts Of
the globe. leaving their native land al
most deserted.
Conditions In Ireland have greatly i'm
proved since the tenants. through an act
Of Parliament. have been put in a posi-

not very much land in Ireland now which
is held by landlords. The greater part
has been bought up by the government

When the amateur commission met at
Spalding's last evening at s o'clock the
store was packed. the majority being
drawn to the meeting to hear the evil
dence in the Phipps case. Manager Cor
nell was given until this afternoon al

presented orally and in writing at last
nights gathering.
The commission voted 10 play OF the
Cornell Company-Commissione game
this afternoon at 4:9O O'Clock at Capital
City Park. Umpires Hughes and Belts
will be used in the game.
Much surprise was expressed when the
commission voted to play but one game
between the winners in sections A and B
for the District championship. However
owing 10 the many postponements. this
is necessary. and the big game will be
pulled off at Capital City Park Thursday
afternoon at 4.SO sharp.
Mr.. Shurtlief was delegated by the
commission to go to Philadelphia Friday
evening to arrange for the game there
on Saturday. The Washington winners
Will take an umpire with them and will
pay his expenses.
Moran. Of Cornell Company, was de-
clared eligible by the arbitration board
after a long discussion.
A fast double play prevented the Com
missioners from scoring in the game yes

first inning the District lads made things
quite warm for a while. Lay was re-
tired short 70 first. Handiboe sent a fast
single spinning to right and went 70 sec
ond on a wild pitch. Hurley hit to
Buscher. who threw TO third to catch
Hardiboe, but Kinney thought that
Buscher had caught the ball on the fy
and threw TO second instead OF touching
the runner. As a result. all hands were
safe. Hessler hit a liner TO right which
Phipps caught, doubling Hurley at first
and retiring the side
The collection at Capital City Park yes
terday was S35. Quite a neat sum for one
inning Of amateur baseball, with a good
wetting thrown in.
Many think that Curly Byrd is the
logical pitching choice TO work against
the Cornell team. Robertson has never
been very effective against the Paper
hangers. and in his initial trial in the
post-season games was badly beaten.
Byrd has pitched consistently, and has
stuff" as well as the experience Had
not rain broken up yesterdays battle II
Is safe TO say that the Cornell tribe
would have walked away with the game.
Robertson was IN a hole IN the opening
round. with one run already scored
against him. a man on second. Salb at

reached shelter but little worse for the
experience. but those few who had 10

people took large crowds through their
magnificent plant just across from the
park, and those who took refuge in
that building were well looked after.
