pERlLs FACED BY AwAToRs
Unnatural Conditions Under WhloI
They Work Responsible for Ply
slcal Ills Encountered.

Mountain climbers are subject 10
what is called "the mountain sick
ness" due to the reaction of the air
and the muscular work done by
climbers. Then there is the balloon
disease, with analogous symptoms,
but which does not appear except at
very high attitudes Newer than
either Of these is aeroplane or avia-
tors sickness. It's effects are due to
the rapidity with which the maxi
mum height is reached and the still
greater speed at the descent, involv-
ing the passing from a low air pres
sure to a higher one. Aeroplanes
sometimes reach attitudes Of 10000
feet in an hour, and here the effects
on the ear, such as humming or
cracking noise, are about the same
as in balloon, but the effect on the
respiratory organs is different. The
pilot is sooner out of breath and he
feels a special kind of uneasiness.
During the descent the heart beats
are Of greater amplitude, but with
out accelerating. A quick descent in
sailing fight at speed of 1000
or 1900 feet a minute or even more
since Morane descended at Havre
from 5000 feet height in six min
utes-causes a feeling Of a special
kind or qneasiness, accompanied
with humming in the ears.
Burning in the face Is also felt
and a severe headache; also great
tendency to sleep. The movements
of the body are sluggish and unskill-
full. These symptoms continue for
some time after the landing, and
the tension in the arteries is no
ticed to be higher than the normal.

lions to Sustain Him In His
Position In Life.

"a bulletin Of the New York city
board Of health presents some rather
stupendous estimates Of the material
cost to the community of the sum
mer invasion Of flies and mosquitoes.
Taking alone the loss through
typhoid, Of which disease the fly is
recognized conspicuously as a car
rier, this is placed as an annual ode
crease in the vital assets of the coun-
try" Of more than $35O,0O0,0O0.
There are other items in the
schedule Of a rather startling char
acter. The sum of $1O,OO0,O00, it is
figured, is paid annually for screens
upon dwellings to keep out the
flies. And yet enough of them get
by the screens to work $350,000,00O
damage!
Evidently we have begun at the
wrong end to "swat the fly" effect
lively. And this fact has come to be
widely recognized. 1t is preven-
ton of breeding, rather than extinc-
ton of the race after the annual
generation has been brought forth,
to which attention is directed. II
the fly is not born, there is no be-
ginning to his pestilential career
he is nonresident. And the success
which has attended measures taken
for the suppression of the mosquito
in neighborhoods hereabouts would
seem to indicate the desirability Of
similar methods in the treatment Of
the house fly.

RATES AND FIRE PREVENTION

The National Board of Fire Underwriters have made certain recommendations for the prevention of fire in Bridgeport These recommendations excellent Most of them capable of early adoption They have the approval of Fire Chief Edward Mooney who expert fire fighter, speaks by the book. @
 The people of Bridgeport should be grateful to the National Board of Fire Underwriters for their efforts prevent confagraons though the efforts of that ganzaton dictated by purely selfish desire to make profits for the fire insurance companies which the board represents
 It is of the good things in life that selfish effort frequently results in common benefit It is frequently true that in helping himself helps others There fore let be grateful for the activities of these gentlemen who prevent confagratons, if their motive IS profits
 Having paid this tribute to the Fire Insurance Un- derwrters it is proper to direct attention to the profit taking side of insurance activity.
 These gentlemen will unhesitatngly ask Bridgeport to spend DOLLAR to save TEN CENTS, then they KEEP the dime.
 The fire insurance companies have constituted them selves great monopoly They fix rates to take nous profit They inducect to decrease fire risks but they do not decrease rates Rates in Bridgeport have been going up for years Fire losses Bridgeport have been going down for years.
 1t is time for Bridgeport Board of Insured to make expert recommendations to the National Board of Fire Underwriters relative to rate reductions.
 It is time for the National Board of Fire Underwrit- CTS to make rate reductions REAL ONES some fine morning there will be item the newspapers to the effect that state has undertaken to write is own fire risks at cost
 The light will hold out to burn for insurance sinners until that item appears Then the gates of forgiveness will be closed and state will follow another in gen erous attempt to who earliest remove grievous burden from the people

VIRGINIA JUSTICE ,sS
 BECOMING ssSTANDARD''
New York Herald.l

Virginia courts have made a pretty good record for themselves within the last twelve months. They are meting out justice with promptness and fearlessness that should cause mur- derers and vote sellers to sfsit up and take notice.'
 The swift justice given Henry Clay Beattie, IT., wife murderer, attracted nation wide attention. Last spring Judge Massie sentenced convicted man to a term in prison in the face of threats against his life which he had good reason to feel would be exc cuted The Judge not only lost his life, but other officers of the court were shot down in cold blood. All of the assassins except two have been run down and have had just sentences passed upon them for their crime.
 Vote sellers of Lee county got their dues last week, 127 of them being ar raigned before Judge Skeen in the county court. The Judge extended mercy to fifteen aged and decrepit men who confessed, twenty escaped punishment by turning States evil dence, forty-three were dismissed and others received sentences to prison, some of them for year at hard labor. The life of Judge Skeen, too, was threatened, but he was not deterred
 Those who would commit crime in Virginia doubtless now realize that they will have the courts to deal with.

FIRST THINGS

The first petroleum was struck in a we'll bored at T1tusville. on Oil Creek. Pa, fifty-two years ago today. The existence of rock-oil at this place had long been known, but 1t was not until 1860 that boring began. This first well yielded about a thousand barrels a day. News of this success created wild excitement and numerous wells were soon bored, and by the end of the year some 2,o00 were in operation. An excited speculation in oil lands and wells began, and immense fortunes were made and lost, but eventually the business came into the hands of John D Rocket elier and his associates the United States Is now about 7,750. GOO, 900 gallons annually There are about 15O refining establishments. with annual products worth, about sz50,0O GOO. ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania and California are the principal oil-produc- ing sections, but petroleum is found in considerable quantities in other parts of the United States and in Can ada. and India.

Ex-ooNvIcT AND COUNCILMAN
fNew York World.l )

The story of William Burke, the Philadelphia Councilman who confess ed having convict record, goes for ward in manner. creditable to him. self, to his friends and to humanity. He will return to his home to find not only forgiveness but helpfulness; par don from the Government and encour- agement from the community.
 It would be well if out of the pub licity given to this example of sym pathy and reform there could come a lesson of permanent value. Burke was trying to make his way upward in an honorable career when a blackmailer,s s threat of exposure forced his comics sion and flight. It was good for him that he had the courage to confess in stead of flying in secrecy. His cour- age and candor have saved him. Per haps much of the handicap of other ex-convicts seeking to make new ca reer results from lack of just this frankness that Burke has shown. It is equally likely that if as prompt a sympathy and help were given to oth- CT repentant criminals who are striv- ing to redeem their lives, they too would show themselves worthy
 The incident at any rate makes a generous story in the mass of ugliness and of sordidness that comes from the 'Rosenthal crime, the graft cases and Penrose charges. It shows the soul of man-the humanity that counts.
