brother. Henry W. Taft, is Il mem
bOr, and to which AttOrncy-Gcncral

president Taft, according TO an
Ctacr story, will return to Cincin
natl and practice law there. Wh"ih
cr he goes back to Cincinnati oi
practices in New York. there is moi
rluch doubt he would become Il con
spicuous figure in Il legal way. Hc
prefers the law, and, rs a former
president, would undoubtedly com
mand big fees.
ut is well remembered that Ben
jamin Harrison, who was an cini

Cflicc and took up law again WAS in
general demand.
Some talk is heard that should
Governor Wilson be elected presidcn;
and there is vacancy on the Su-

This talk is looked upon here as

FIRST BALLOONS MARVELS
They Turned Attention From the Idea
Of Flying Across the English
Channel.

Experimental physics was then
(17s5) quite the mode, and all classes
were hurried along by the prevailing
taste. The Due d'Orleans forgot his
amours and his stud. his fashions and
his schemes Of reform, to dabble'in It.
The Marquis d'Arlandes stole few
hours from court to pursue series OF
experiments which cost him his life.
The brothers lfontgolfier, whose
business 1t was to make paper, had
found time in the press Of business
to devote to physics, had thought much
on the ascent Of f'vapors and the forma-
ton Of clouds. and soon delighted the
little town Of Annonay with the spec.
tacle Of the hrst balloon. But 2 party
Of amateurs in Paris, not to be out

1ez regarding the recently discovered
garden Of .Montezuma.
Mr.. Teller applied to the department
OF public instruction. for special per-
NIT to make explorations in the gar
den. He states that concerninG t~en-
ty-one successive caciques on the land
with codices in possession Of the Ma
tional Museum has led him to believe
that the garden has great antiquity.c
He has been devoting large part OF
four years to studying the planta
found thera Through the Inscriptions
he has been able to CLEAN historical
data concerning twenty-one successive
caciuues. Tropical trees, flowers and
fruits were transplanted from the 18th
mus Of Tehuantepec and Central Amer
lea to this garden, and there were
grown cocoas. vanilla. parota. yolloxo-
ehiu, mecaxoehiti and another rare
flower which gives OF its odor in the
night.
These plants and their friends were
ingredients of the delicious chocolates
which were the favorite beverages Of
the Aztec lords when Cortes arrived.
