WILL FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC.
German Army Officer Thinks Balloon
Voyage Easy of ACCOMPLISHMENT,

voyage Easy OF accomplishment.
In a spherical balloon, without q
motor. Lieut.. Hans Gericke. the Ger.
man balloonist, who won the interna.
tional balloon trophy recently. plans
to fly across the Atlantic ocean tc
Europe, starting from the vicinity OF
New York in January. He announced
his purpose in the course of a lecture
at the Hotel Astor.
Lieut.. Gericke is the champion bal
%loonist of Germany, and Is at present
the titular balloon champion of the
world. He Is a lieutenant of the ar
tillery branch of the German army.
He won the championship last month
in his flight Of 500 miles. when he
landed in Wisconsin. In this contest
he defeated the picked fliers of Eng
years contest, which was won by the
American pilot Alan R. Hawley. Lieut..
lGericke landed in the wilds of British
Columbia after making a flight Of
more than 1000 miles and coming
within 80 miles of equaling Hawley's
record.
The German army officer is one Of
the most skillful balloonists in the
world. He has frequently demonstrate

craft to any given spot in spite Of

various strata of air currents he man.
ages to pilot his balloon wherever he
desires.
I'm flying from America to Europe"
said Lieut.. Gericke, 1T is my purpose
to start out in the early part of Jan
uary. I plan to get away from the
vicinity of New York. I will start
when the moon shines full. I purpose
to wait until the weather maps show
me that the prevailing air movement
is steadily eastward. Then will
swing up and move rapidly across the
Atlantic with the current. ! estimate
that I will be able to make the cross
ing in at least four days.
THE balloon will be of special con-
struction. and will carry enough GOD
to last three men at least three weeks.
I hope to have two assistants with me
on the expedition. If 1 can find an
American who is willing to go, I will
include him in the crew.
Il have not the slightest doubt that
I will he able to make the trip. 1 have
demonstrated frequently that I can
reach n place that I have set out
for. Crossing the Atlantic in a bal
loon will be as easy as flying from one
point in America to another"

RARE SEASON FOR WINE.
influence of ''Comct Year, Is Felt i'm
Connecticut, Too.

Springfield Republican,

grapes and Italians everywhere have
taken advantage of it tt make wine in
even greater quantities than they are
accustomed to do. Every season each
Italian householder prepares gallons
OF wine for use during the year. COT

prices without disturbing our thrifty

every fall to supply themselves with

their native land many superstitions
are ready to explain why the grapes
this year are so fine and why the wine

connoisseurs, the experts of the Vine
yards, tell lis that the wine of the
comet year is the wine of wines.
What influence the comet has upon
the grapes or the wine or how it af-
fects them the Italian is not ready to
tell, but he firmly believes that the in
Huence exists, and as a proof he sim

American farmer or fruit expert will
tell you that the sweetness of the
grape is due to the fact that they dry

The method commonly pursued in

grapes are let fall into a large cask.

Genuine Sardinas.

Genuine sardines are the young Of
the pilchard. Their name comes from
the fact that they are most numerous
off the coast Of Sardinia. They swim
in the spring in shoals containing mil
lions-fsh shaped shoals ten miles long
and half mile wide. The sardines are
netted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed, scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt is soon
removed, the heads and gills cut off
and there is another washing. Then,
on beds of green brush, the fish are
dried in the sun. Next they are boiled
in olive oil till cooked thoroughly. The
packers-women always-take them
now and pack them in the tin boxes
we all know, filling up each box with
boiling oil, fitting on the lid and MAX
ing the boy air tight by soldering the
joints together with jet of hot steam.
Sardines' are more or less perfect ac-
cording as they are preparedAnore or
less Immediately after their capture
and according as the oil they are pack
ed in is more or less pure.

The Youna French Girl.

A young French girl. enters the thea
ter with her father. She takes her
seat directly in front of the privileged
American girls finishing" their edu-
cation. Her untouched fowerlike face
is alight with anticipated pleasure,
with a soft vividness Of intelligence
that could never be cursed with the
word "brainy." Her hair is bound
with a little old fashioned snood and
tiny buckle; strangely simple even
ing dress covers the exquisite ardor
Of her slender body. Quickly four
faces, the faces Of the overindulged,
the overprecocious, the overathletic and
the overdressed, turn to study her.
There is something to learn In this lit
tie French maid, whose eyes never
meet q mans, who is never allowed to
walk alone on the street, whose un-
conscious grace envelops her like a
veil, who is sheltered like a delicate
bird, vet trained to the utmost energy,
reserve, accomplishment and useful
ness.-Atlantic.

Wall Street Superstition.

Almost all the Wall street specula-
tors are superstitious fellows who be-
lieye in charms and amulets. In their
pockets they carry lucky coins, rab-
bits foot, a horse chestnut or some
thing Of the kind. One Wall street
man, much envied by his companions,
has short piece Of hangman's rope
to conjure with. Many Of the custom
ers in the offices are even more credu-
lous than the professional traders in
their belief in signs and omens There
is a deep. seated tradition that Tues
day is Glow day" in ''bull market"
and "high day" In a "bear market" ;"
Some persons speculate on "systems,"
and others employ charts" Once
they exploited q machine in Wall
street known as a market register"
1t was about as effective as helping
anybody to win at Stock Exchange
speculation as it is to rub up against
hunchback for luck Just before you bet
on a horse race.-Munsey's Magazine.
