READY FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT
Joseph Brucker Sails for Canaries
With Huge DirigibIe.

Vienna, March 26,-Joseph Bruck-
er, the German-American aeronaut,
who plans to cross the Atlantic in a
dirigble balloon, has arranged to sail
by steamship from Trieste tomorrow
for the Canary Islands, where he
expects to begin his voyage in about
three weeks. Mr. Brucker is taking
the balloon with him on the steam
ship and is accompanied by the two
assistants who plan to make the
aerial voyage with him.
The balloon is called the Suchard
H. and is the largest balloon in ex-
istence. Its diameter is so feet and
its gas capacity 100000 cubic feet.
1t is non-rigid dirigible of the Par
sevaal type and will carry two en-
gines of the type used in the Parse
vaal Each of them is 110-horse-pow-
er and weighs 500 pounds The bal
loon was finished many months ago
and it was planned to attempt the
trip a year ago, but there were some
alterations to be made, and this de-
layed the start so it was planned to
leave the Canary Islands this spring.
1t is expected that with favorable
winds the trip can be made in from
six to eight days. 1t is expected that
the landing will be either in the West
Indies or at some point on the north
ern coast of South America. 1t is
planned to run the motors alternately
IA hours a day and to drift with tie
trade winds at night The present
plan is to make the trip at height
of from 500 to 500 feet. The dirig-
ible will be steered by an ordinary
vertical rudder. 1t is provided with
large fins for rising and descending
and for balancing.
The balloon bag is coated with a
special preparation that absorbs wa
ter from the atmosphere to counte-
ract the effect of the suns rays. She
will use sea water for ballast de-
scending to pump it in and discharg-
ing 1t when required. Under the gas
bag is a gallery and suspended below
this will be power boat which is in
tended as the main living quarters of
the balloon. The boat can be cut
loose and used in case of accident.
The dirigible will carry, an ordinary
brilliant red aluminium globes. These
will be dropped overheard one at a
time and used as points by which to
steer, it being impossible to allow
for the leeway of a dirigible or aero
plane when steering by compass
alone.
Mr. Brucker has an abiding faith
in the success of the attempt, and
feels confident that unless there is
some weather phenomenon not here
tofore recorded in the course of the
northeast trade wind he will succeed.
Every precaution that human inge-
nuity or professional skill has sug-
gested has been taken, and Mr.. Bruck
er is of the opinion that only a ca
lamity that cannot be guarded
against can defeat the expedition.

POPE REPORTED BETTER
No Reason to Suppose Pontiff HI
Had RELAPSE.

Rome, March 26.-The Pope did
not celebrate mass today as was ex-
pected, but there is no reason to sup
pose that he has suffered a relapse.
He is said to be slowly improving,
but is still i'll. This is inferentially
confirmed by the Osservatore Roma
no. which says that the Pontiff,s con-
dition is satisfactory and that he has
improved to such an extent that he
has almost recovered but he still
needs some days of rest. The rest
has been recommended by his ply
sic1ans and encourage, but they had
great difficulty in persuading Plus Y.
to take q rest.
The day on which the Pontiff will
be allowed to celebrate mass has not
been decided upon. but it is confirm
ed that he will not hold any audi
ences before April A. His physicians
visited the Pope twice today. They
allowed his brother. who came from
Mantua, to spend a quarter of an
hour at his bedside on condition that
he would not allow the Pontiff to
talk. The Pope's sisters paid a short
visit to him afterward. Later on the
Pope left his bed and sat In an easy
chair in the library.

EVENING GRoSBEAKS
Noteworthy Visit of Feathered Songs
tiers to Vermont in Winter

Mrs. George NJ. Miller of Bethel
writes the following letter to the Blu.
lington Free Press:
1T must be of exceptional interest
to all birdlovers of Vermont to know
that flock of evening grosbeaks has
again visited the state AS far as
can learn, only twice before this has
the presence of these birds within
our lines been recorded. The first
time was in the winter of 1SS91S90
when they were seen in Burlington
and in Randolph. In 1909 they were
in Burlington and in Orleans.
ION March 3, 1913, flock of birds
was seen in Bethel, which had note
somewhat like the chirp OF an Eng
fish sparrow, only more musical and
less frequent. They were seen at a
distance and appeared to be nearly
as large as robins. When they flew,
they showed much white in the plum.
age. Several times, later, a single
bird was noticed making this call 1t
looked light gray, with a stout, light
colored bill, and had much white on
the dark wings. On March the
flock was again seen, and though
high in tree. little yellow was dis
covered on the underparts of one.
This led us to wonder if they were
possibly evening grosbeaks.
ION March II, during a sugar snow
storm, the birds came to our trees,
and very accommodatingly chose low
branches on the side next to us. They
were fearless, and even seemed to
court our presence. At one time they
were no more than 10 feet from US, so
we saw them perfectly. They stayed
in the trees along the street for hours
and many people examined and ad-
mired them. There were the black
cap, yellow forehead. great, blunt,
light yellow beak, dark shoulders and
breast, black wings with large white
spot on each, and black tail All the
rest of the body was bright, beauti-
ful yellow. The females were slight
ly smaller, and were gray where the
males were yellow They were light
er gray on the underparts than the
female Of the pine grosbeak. Once
we saw a fash OF yellow as one lifted
her wings. They were very pretty.
though so modestly dressed.
These birds are said to nest in the
Rocky mountains and to migrate east
and southeast, returning west and
northwest. East or southeast of Chi
cago, they must be considered as only
wanderers, though they sometimes do
travel eastward in large numbers.
those who know, say that their first
recorded appearance in any part of
New England was in the winter of
lSS9-1S90.
1T would be interesting to learn
now many places in Vermont are visit
ed by them this year"

of the bewitching visage which, framed in a mass of
heavy bronze hair, peered at her nightly from her
mirror.
From some Gallo ancestor she had flched a pair
of impossible eyes, wide set, amorous, with as yet
unfathomed depths of gray-green mystery beneath
their sweeping lashes The lids, somewhat prom-
nent had provoking droop at the far which
seemed to veil a constant tendency to look at the
world-at least the masculine portion of it-side-
wise This yelling of the tendency, although quite
conscious on her part lent to her glance pquancy
inviting by far than any open stare.
Her nose was of that peculiar feline type often
found in women of French extraction-long, sensi-
tive, and somewhat rounded at the tip the nose
of a Sarah Bernhard. Her mouth, large and mobile
like that of a comedian, was to Emmy a source Of
despair, but of the beauty pages of the Sunday
papers offered the slightest suggestion whereby it
might be converted into one of the rosebud type.
A vast deal of red-brown hair, somewhat coarse
but as vitality alive from root to tip as a mass of
coiing serpents, made her face appear smaller than
it really was. This Emmy tried to remedy by
wearing it plastered down over her ears, la Cleo de
