1.-The forms of five men could be
plainly seen punging down through
the air from the great height, their
bodies turning over and over again be-
fore they sank in the sea, just off the
outer bar and not far from a can bury.

life saving station. it looked as if the
now limp gas bag and it's metal frame
work covered their bodies.
Men on the board walk turned their
eyes from the sickening sight and wo-
men screamed A large launch on the
way TO the fishing grounds, started to
blow a whistle to attract the attention

Vani,nan. because of his genial dis
position, had endeared himself to the
citizens of Atlantic City and his unr
timely end caused universal sorrow
here. To a reporter who recently in
treviewed him, he expressed the great
st confidnce in the ability of the Akron
to make good" on all that was claim
ed for It, He was keenly aware of the
dangerous nature of the gas used for
initiating the gas bag but he felt 1t was
safe from explosion as no flames could
reach it.
One theory of the cause of the ex-
plosion is that the gasoline used for
operating the engines exploded and in
turn communicated 10 the gas in the
balloon.
Vanirnan had recently been testing a
new material for the gas bag of his
balloon. 1t was reinforced with wire
and Vaniman claimed that with ii he
could construct a balloon that would
neither expand nor contract, thus pro-
dueing dirigible that would be alb
solutely under the control of engines
aud steering apparatus.
on his last two trips Vaniman dis
pensed with the service>of his wireless
telegraph operator and had removed
the apparatus. thus giving his crew
additional room in the working quar-
ters.
That somebody had let too much free
gas into the engines and backed up
the exhaust, was the theory of Chief
Black of the fire department, who was
on hand With his men to help in
launching the balloon.
Another theory is that a. dangling
rope of the rigging dragged into the
Zig propellers, whipped up against the
stern end of the balloon and snapped
off enough of the cone to free the gas,
allowing the yapor to sweep into the
engine and explode.
Melvin Vaniman first came promi
nently before the public eye as chief
engineer for Walter Wellman. the Chi,
cago journalist, who assayed to cross
the Atlantic in the dirigible balloon
America, leaving Atlantic City on Oct.
Is, 1910.
The craft remained in the air 70
hours and Travelled about $50 miles.
when the so-called equilibrater, trail
ing in the water, caused trouble. The
aeronauts were rescued at sea by the
steamer Trent.
This short voyage with Wellman in
spired Vaniman with the ambition to
command a similar craft on an aerial
voyage to Europe and for monthspast
he had been making his headquarters
in Atlantic City, waiting for a favor
able opportunity to get away in the
Akron, dirigible built along lines
designed to overcome the difficulties
met by the America.
Mr.. Vaniman was about 40 years of
age and native of Illinois.

$50 then with the mind myself

TBS, nc.
True religion, as we noted last
week, is a religion of whole-hearted-
ness. II is no less religion of whole
mindedness. This truth couches,
not only in this expressed experience
of Paul, but even more deeply in
these great words of Jesus: Thou,
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind" Mentality at its
fullest must enter into religion.
Mentality is not ALL of it. Mental
iiy is not the BASIS of it. For "the
world by wisdom knew not God"
but the basic love of religion must
carry Mind, as well as Heart, into its
devotionS, True religion is not a
religion OF blind incredibly that in.
suits individual intelligence and
reason. On the contrary, it is con
sonant with the highest intellectual.
ism. Nay, more, il appeals to. and
uses, every attribute and faculty of
mind. Paul said, 1--WE persuade men :"
That meant an appeal TO the lntelli-
gence 10 know the principles of re-
ligious truth; an appeal 10 the under
standing TO weigh the evidences OF
the truth; an appeal 10 the Reason
and the Moral Sense TO come 10 con
illusions as to the claims OF the truth;
and an appeal TO the Will to determine
TO do the duty enforced by the truth.
Christianity does not coerce men.
II persuades them. Its reasonable ap-
peal addresses every rational soul.
1t does not open its treasure only 10
the gifted and great, who may dole
them out with niggardly hand.
Teaching every man in all wisdom"
was preaching maxim of the apostles.
To people OF little capacity, who at
first can see men only as trees walk
ing, il appeals. And though sin has
twisted their vision and warped their
minds, yet it makes them soon see
every man clearly" To people OF
large mental capacity ii appeals.
And Artists, and Philosophers, and
Poets, and Statesmen, and Warriors
like Michael Angelo, and Jonathan
Edwards, and John Milton, and
William E. Gladstone, and Gustavus
AdoIphus-the master minds of their
times answer its appeals TO say,

The race for governor rocks along
without any great interest being mani
tested in behalf of any candidate. To
Judge from the newspapers reports Mil.
ton and Gibbons are doing more work
than the others. But little is heard of
Watson, though he is a strong man and
will poll large vote. The Florida cor
respondent OF the Savannah News thinks
that Watson will be high man in the
first. This is the first opinion of this
kind we've seen. While moi question
ing the probability of this conclusion we
should like TO know why our journal
istic friend thinks as he does. Watson
is beyond all question an able man; we
started TO say the ablest man in the race,
but that might not be entirely accurate.
Watson is a man OF broad experience
and possesses a mighty level head. He
is going to get good vote. If his cam
paign had been backed by sufficient
amount OF money 10 put him before the
people as some of the other candidates
are getting before them, he would have
been the winner This is not saying
that he won't be yet.
