This was Mr. Bryans experience in

The Lost Balloon.

1t is singular commentary on the per-
sistence of balooning as mere sport
that while the airmen are performing
remarkably at Belmont Park with their
planes a search is being prosecuted for
two men who last week drifted north
from st. Louis into Canada in a great
gas bag apparatus and have, it is feared,
descended in place so remote from
habitations that they are In danger of
death from starvation or exposure. If in
deed they are not already victims OF
their intrepid enterprise. The balloon
compared with the airplane is as the old
sailing vessel contrasted with the turbine
steamer. 1t is virtually helpless when
aloft. 1t can be brought down at any
time and it can within limit be sent
UP higher. But nothing the navigators
can do serves to change Its course. They
are literally at the mercy OF the winds.
They may be blown to sea to be drowned
or they may be sent into the wilds to
starvf.
Balloon races demonstrate nothing of
any value whatever. They are pure
CANDLES, the luckiest man winning by
virtue of striking more favorable winds
through some stroke of good fortune
There is perhaps a shade of skill in the
more correct Interpretation of weather
signs. enabling the balloonist to send
his apparatus up or down to catch air
slants which his competitors miss. But
even with this small degree of control
the balloon remains virtually only a
feather in the air, to be sent wherever
fortune may will. The prize may go to
the most courageous or the most reckless
In heavIer-than-air aviation honors are
won mainly by men of skill and daring
combined. Luck plays a large part, to
be sure. in aeroplane competition, but I'LL
timately the most capable men survive
and rewarded. Meanwhile through
such competitions as those now in prog
ress at Belmont Park knowledge Is con-
tinually gained of the effect of winds
upon planes and OF the maneuvers neces-
sary TO utilize the air rather than to be
retarded by it.
II is TO be hoped that the missing ball
loonists will be found and brought back
home in safety 1t may be that they

flight into the Canadian wilderness, beat
ing even the performance of the Dus-
seidorf, which in this race covered 1,23U
miles. itself new iong-distance mark in
balloOning. 1t will be doubly gratifying
IL Messrs. Post and Hawiey are rescued
in such circumstances, although when all
is said and done their accomplishment
must remain as useless exposure OF lite.

Mr.. Dix and the Stump.

The republicans of New York would
he glad to have Mr. Dix take the stump.
Mr.. Stimson is full of questions. and DIN
er speakers are propoundinS some Ihey
do not find Mr.. Dixs letter of acceptance
satisfying. 1t does not. in their opinion,
cover the ground. But the democratic
candidate is shy. The letter satisfies
him. and he will stand on il.
Unless a man has qualifications for the
stump he would do well to avoid it. The
place is trying. One needs to be not
only fluent. but ready. a speaker never
knows what a moment may bring forth.
Some person ir the audience, primed by
a shrewd politician. may fire off an
inquiry full of dynamite unless neatly
received parted And il the stumper
is stlImped by some ordinary listener. the
consequences to the speaker are disas-
trous His whole deliverance may go for
nothing.
