II RECISELY as the clocks in the
vicinity Of bowman Square an
nounced the hour of midnight,
John Names pen ceased suddenly in
it's rapid flight across the paper be
fore him. For a time he sat motionless,
his forehead wrinkled in perplexity.
Twice he attempted to resume his work
but each time stopped short in the eff
fort.
For five long hours he had worked
with feverfsh mental energy and the
first time his pen refused to become
the vehicle of his thoughts the physical
strength Of the man gave out, then
as a gift from the gods came the bless
ing of sleep to the faded worker
Dimly, vaguely, John Maine became
conscious Of the fact that his arms were
bound and useless at his side His legs
we're cramped in an unnatural position;
he endeavored' TO move his head, and
discovered, with a painful shock that
his neck was securely held by a tight
collar attached 10 the back Of hts chair
With startled eyes he glanced round
swiftly in the little circle his bonds al
lowed and saw nothing Then, as the
Precipitation oprued from him in his
fear, he knew that from somewhere in
the room voice was speaking. slowly,
monotonously, but its every word ar.
ticulated with striking distinctness,

started from Lamotte- Breuil in France
and attained an elevation of nearly 49,,
zoe feet. or six and a quarter miles,
and yet they did not suffer at all. and
came down in perfect condition, and
exulting in their great feat!
Their success and immunity from
suffocatiop were due to the fact that
they took with them the apparatus
shown in the accompanying Photograph.
A Wonderful Picture.
This consists of an air-tght vessel
dIlsd with compressed oxygen. A mask
which can be fitted closely over the
nose and mouth is connected by a tube
with thee reservoir of oxygen. There
is q pressure gauge which enables the
aeronaut to measure the quantity of
oxygen remaining in the reservoir, and
there is also a device by which to reg
ulate the amount flowing through the
tubes, Thus they could take just as
much oxygen as they needed and no
more. The rate of supply varied from
two quarts per minute to ten. The res
ervoir contained about 1000 quarts.
They began to breathe the oxygen
when at height OF about 1900 feet.
The method of using the apparatus is
shown in the photograph, which was
taken by Senouque, showing Bienaime
and Schneider with their breathing
masks on, at the very time when they
were at the top OF their flight, more
than six miles above the earth!
Similar apparatus has recently been
carried by mountain climbers. and by
the pilots of aeroplanes ascending to
great attitudes. With the rapid prog
ress of aerial navigation it will become
Indispensable in the future.
If fish had human brains they might
safely make a voyage OF discovery in
the air!

Dear Miss Fairfax:

and am only % years old. My
husband is 20. When out in COM

it right for him to pay attention.

passing dishes to them and not
noticing me? R. b

There was just the faintest echo Of

bows as if complimented, and had
just turned to the door, when there was
a sharp knock He drew back aud the
Princess quickly opened 1t.
With no greeting, bow or apology, two
men thrust themselves into the state
room. Jarvis recognized them at once
and set his shoulders for the final COM
bat.
BY this you are not 20 suppose that
he was personally acquainted with the
men themselves-his familiarity was
with the type. In all the world wide
phantasmagoria Of races and classes
there is none that can be so readily
recognized and classified as the New
York detective. With the present craze
for uniformed bellhuys, pages, milliners'
attendants, door tenders, errand boys
and governors it is quite possible to con-
fuse the uniformed policeman with some
Of these. But when he is sent out in
plain clothes there is no mistakiug him.
When you have seen one of them you
can recognize any one of them to the
extreme range of your vision. There is

animal respiration. Oxygen, on the
other hand is a very active gas. which.
when breathed, supports animal life.
When mixed as near the earth's SUR
face, in the proportion of about four
volumes of nitrogen to one of oxygen,
the air is respirable and the inertness
of the nitrogen does no harm. But If
the proportion of oxygen is reduced the
air becomes sitting
Now, oxygen is heavier than nitro
gen in ratio of about eight to seven
and in obedience to the law that heav-
Ter substances sink lower than lighter
ones. the oxygen thins out rs the
height above the ground increases,
until its proportion to the nitrogen be-
comes considerably reduced. Above
three or four miles the amount of oxy-
gen is so much diminished that breath

higher attitudes respiration may cease

A Tragedy.
\ very tragic instance Of the effect
thus produced is furnished by the
story of the famous balloon ascent

sander, Croce spinelli and Signor Sivel,
They assembled from La Villette in
France, in the balloon Zenith" to a
height of IS, 200 feet, or a little more
than five and one-third miles. The
thinness of the air, and as we now
know. the relative lack of oxygen,
killed Spinelli and Sivel, and nearly
cost the life Of Tissandier.
To show what modern science and
invention have done to avert this peril
of the high atmosphere, let US turn to
the story of a still higher ascent. made
