SIX SEEK CHANCE
 ID RIDE ID MOON
Volunteer As Passengers for Proposed Rocket Voyage

Paris, July 19 OP)-Six men have asked for the privilege of rid ing in the rocket which may be shot into the sky for a visit to the moon within the next year.
 Professor Oberth creator of the plan for the rocket, has personally received three applications and Rob- crt Esnault- -Pelettier, the astromer, has received the others. Both admit that the possibility of a safe return is exceedingly small.
 The first danger lies in the rock cts going awry before it clears the earth; the result in that case would be q, crash and certain death. The second is the possibility of striking ] the moon or some other harl, [ opaque body in the heavens. The third, is in descending. in which case Prof. Oberth has pointed out that the jropectile is sure to be eith- er dented or destroyed in striking the cushion of atmosphere which en- velops the earth. Finally, there is a question of air. although an Ameri- can astronomer has devised s"h"n'o for supplying oxygen to the passenger.
 II, however, the chosen passenger outwits the law of proba bilities and comes safely down to the soil of Erance-and not the middle of the Ccean-he will become a greater hero than Lindbergh and will prob ably have message for the astron- omcrs of the world that will add ! more 10 the solution of their prob lens than a year Of patient labor in an observatory.
 Esnault- -Peletier stated that only those will be chosen who have no dependents and who in addition are not subject to ea-sickness Old sail ors, or cx-aviators, in his opinion, would be ideal subjects for the eX- pertinent. One of the difficulties is that after leaving the earth behind. the passenger will lose all sense of direction, hence, will probably not De able to say what land he sees. or touches. This would remain a mys- tery unless the ingenuity of astroHo- mers devises a method of tracing the rockets course in the sky.
 A solution of this problem has to a certain extent been supplied by the Germans who now frequently senG up unnhabited rockets to an altitude of sixty and a hundred miles equip ped in each case with registering ap- pardtus. Prof. Oberth has further suggested the creation of veritable laboratorles in space by means ot rockets with facilities for remaining aloft for some time.
 The plan of the rocket, which has been found feasible and been signal izod by the award of the Hirsch, Rep. Prize for the year by the So- cietr Astronomique of France, is such as to enable it escape not only the pull of gravitation from the earth, but from other planets and the sun as we'll It will therefore be able to cruise the heavens free of danger Of being forced down unles. tt goes square into a reef project ing from the moon.
 So far as the plans are now known the man in the rocket will nave no means at his disposal for controlling the course of the proj- ectilc. His job will he to hold on with both hands and pray that no detv jealous of this invasion of his domain throws thundcrbot in his path.

SEEK PIRATE GOLD UPON ISLE OF MAN
E'Manzmen Forget Income From
 Tourists and Begin Digging

reel, Isle of Man, July 19 Pl- tourists probably have brought more gold to this island in the Irish sea than ever was hidden here by pir- ates; but it's is pirate gold that Is firing the imagination of inhabitants aud tourists alike this summer.
 Eyacuatlons have begun among Inc ruins of Peel Castle, and while the trustees of the Manx museum Will be satisfied if new information IS brought to light on the origin Of the castle and the early history of and even town officials are going to Man, the populace and the tourists De Wretchedly disappointed if at least part Of the great gold hoard Of the Vikings isn't turned up.
 It IS certain that for hundreds of years Viking raiders plundered the coasts of England and France and the Mediterranean and brought their loot back to Man. Legend has 1t that King Orry hid untold wealth Tn or under or somewhere about Peel Castle, and that when he de- parted the gold remained.
 Toward the later part of the thir- teenth century the Norsemen were thrown out by King Alexander III Of scotland. Later the Scotch them- selves had to make room for the English, and. though they have been gone a long time, the legend insists that the gold is still there EXcava- 'nons are being carried forward un- der the supervision of J. H. Winter bottom, surveyor, for the Manx gov ernment property trustees. Members Of the ManX Antiquarian society O. 'he town commissioners of Peel are taking active part.
 Since the work will be a matter of months, it will be at its height during the tourist season, and since Man regularly entertains about 50o,- 900 visitors annually, the excavations probably will be watched by a big ger audience than any archaeological venture in recent years.
 Peel Castle stands on St. Patrck's Isle, which is connected with the mainland by a quay. Originally it probably was a Celtic fort, and his torians are certain it was at one time a Morse stronghold According 10 ManX lore, St. Patrick slew Man nanan, the legendary hero of pre- historic Man, and converted the .sl- and to Christianity in the fifth cen tury.
