HOW 1T FEELS IN A BALLOON
FOUR MILES UP IN THE AIR.

| In the February American Magazine
Augustus Post, writing the "Experi
ences of an Airman," tells as follows
how it feels to be up in the air four
miles in a balloon
"Mr. Harmon and | made the Amer.
lean duration record, As hours and 2G
minutes, or more than two days in the
air. | must turn aside to speak of this
trip, for on this occasion we had sailed
all over the Central West, Arkansas,
Indian Territory, and the 'Houn
Dawg' State, as anyone would recog-
niZe who had had occasion to learn
how far the real animals voice can
penetrate, especially upward to bal
loon high above the clouds. During
this trip Mr.. Harmon and | reached
very great attitudes. We established
the American record for altitude, and
reached a point considerably over four
miles above the surface of the earth,
our instruments registering 24.200 feet
according to our measurements. At
this great height our sensations were
of a different nature from anything
ever experienced on earth. The air
is very rare, only about one-half the
density of that on the surface of the
earth, and consequently you feel a
great relief of pressure, and while sit
ting still, as is necessary in balloon
basket, you feel light as feather, and
as if you had no body at all. Your
breathing is almost twice as rapid as
on the earth, for you must get double
the volume of air for an amount Of
oxygen equal to what you are accus-
toned to. Of course, if you did any
physical work such as mountain
climbers do, you would soon be com
pletely exhausted. You sit like ma
jestic condor peacefully in your bas-
ket, looking about and gazing down
below on the great earth stretched far
beneath you, hazy and dim, sometimes
hardly distinguishable for the thin
stratum of cirrus clouds which at diff
ferent elevations slightly veil the dis.
tinctness of the far-stretching earth
below.
Below you, when the mists and
liberty scarfs that veil the face of the
earth thin away, you could see at this
great height, not the mere seven miles
that is all the curvature of the earth
would let you see at its surface, but
more than three hundred miles in
every direction; or, to make the pic
ture more clear, you could see all of
the Midle States, or all of the country
between New York and Cleveland, and
it would look almost exactly like those
great maps on the walls of the new
Pennsylvania station in New York
City"

B. D. Glymph, an aged white man
said to be a native of Hodges, S. c.,

The dose he took was so violent

he survived The physician at the

if he had taken a teaspoonfull of the

have saved him.
Glymph, who suffered horrible
agony, and manifested the same un-
quenchable thirst which poisoned rats
have before they die, regrets his at
tempt and is now very anxious to con-
tinue to live.

TRIES TO SHOOT Up COURT
JUDGE HIDES UNDER DESK AND
OTHERS VACATE ROOM.
Wild Scramble for Places of Safety
When Ray NJ. Stewart Whlsks
Out Pistol.

Washington, June 23.-Judge, law
yers, policemen and spectators were
sent scurrying to cove. in the Grim
inal Court here late to-day, when
Ray NJ. Stewart, aged IS, fired three
wild shots in an attempt to shoot
up" the Court. At the first crack
Justice Wendall P. Stafford dis
appeared beneath his desk and out
in the Court room there was a wild
scramble for places of safety. Some,
frenzied by fear, leaped into windows
and dropped to the ground fifteen
or twenty feet below.
Justice Stafford had just refused
to release Stewart on probation after
conviction for attempted highway
robbery. The boy whipped out pis-
tol and fred three shots, two Of which
narrowly missed Assistant United
States Attorneys Samuel Hawken and
Harvey Given and policeman Mofett.
He was in the attitude of turning to-
ward the Judge as if to shoot when a
witness sprang upon him and choked
him into insensibility.
Without Scratch.
In the confusion that followed
many thought Justice Stafford had
been struck by a bullet, but the
Judge emerged from his haven with
out a scratch.
Stewart had been convicted recent
ly of holding up a negro in a Wash

had applied for probation as a first
offender. The Judge had barely ut

OPERATION TO MAKE BOY GOOD.
Bone Removed From Skull May Have
Moral Effect.

Philadelphia, June 1S.-An oper-
alton which, the surgeons declare,
will make a good boy of eight-year
old Clay Jamison, was performed yes
terday in the West Philadelphia HON.
eopathy Hospital, where a piece OF
bone two inches long and one lnch
wide was removed from the boys
skull.
The child, it was stated, was a
good boy when he first went to school
three years ago. The second year ne
was not quite so good, and since then
he has been a terror to his teachers,
parents and other children. An X-ray
operation disclosed the fact that
there was a depression in his skull,
probably the result of fall or a blow,
which, the surgeons say, caused the
change in the boys department.

PUTS MARRIAGE ABOVE CAREER
President of University, Of Illinois,
So Tells Three Hundred CO-Eds.


Marriage is better than a career,
president Edmund J. James, of the
University of Illinois, on Monday told
about 800 women graduates who had
Just completed four years Of training
for a profession
"The average man and the average
woman can do their best work for
themselves, and for society, in part
nership which results in social unit
effective for social progress said
President James, THE woman who
deliberately chooses the career when
the opportunity offers itself or when
she makes it for herself, as every wo-
man can, is choosing highway to
social service which is far ahead of
all teaching of legal or medical SER
vice she can possibly render society.
"It looks sometimes as if our mod
ern society is giving the honors of So
cial recognition and opportunity to
the bachelor maid instead of to the
wife and mother. Just in proportion
as this is done, society will surely
suffer by recruiting its ranks in the
long run from the uneducated and
more animal elements.
