lthe air corps combined last week to overthrow provisional President Lieutenant Colonel Luis F. Sanchez Cerro. and the new provisional presi- dent is one of Sanchez Cerro's most loyal supporters.
 It was reported at the presidential palace early to-day that Colonel Eulogio Castillo, commander of the northern military division, had re- volted against the Junta government of Judge Ricaro Elias, who resigned in favor of Jimenez. Castillo's atti- tude toward the Jimenez coup was
 not divulged.
 It was also reported that Castillo
 had reinstated officials of the old
 Leguia regime in northern Peru. It
 was against President Augusta B.
 Leguia that Sanchez Cerro led a successful revolt.
 Units of the Peruvian navy at Callao withdrew to Ancon, a short distance to the north, where naval aviation headquarters are located. Meanwhile Jimenez carried on telegraph negotiations W ith Samanez Ocampo, president of the Junta es-
 tablished by southern rebels at Are quipa, now in Lima, who came here originally to confer with the Elias government regarding the establish
 ment of table regime.
 Some political quarters predicted
 that Sanchez Cerro would return to

for three months. Sanchez Cerro was called to the presidential palace immediately after. the Jimenez coup and was given a tremendous greeting from the populace. The latest change in government was accomplished without bloodshed and was carried out so quickly that most of the population was not aware of it. Lieutenant Colonel Jimenez landed at Callao early yes terday with two transport loads of troops that had been prevented by the navy from going south to oppose the Arequipa rebels. He led the troops to Lima in leisurely fashion. and arrived at the capital late in the afternoon.
 Jimenez then went to the presi- dential palace accompanied by sev- eral of his officers. There he found Dr Ricardo Elias, chief justice of the supreme court who was named head Of the Junta government at Lima after Sanchez Cerro was overthrown. J1menez informed pr Elias and three other members of the Junta that he mad returned to Lima with his troops to take charge of the govern ment.
 Dr Elias and his ministers left without any manifestation and drove to their homes. The coup d'etat was complete.

When this oil burner commenced to burn the
heat from the flames travelled up into the
hollow BAG and caused it to expand In q
very few n-inutes the hot air in the large bag
caused the entire balloon to rise
The first fight of this hot-air balloon took
place on February IS, 1874. 1t was a short
flight Of only about 20 minutes, but it was one
of the first flights with passengers. A month
later the balloon made another trip, a journey
of over seven miles, and Travelled almost a mile
up into the skies. That was remarkable feat
in those days; it was a daring thing, too, for
the balloon carried a regular bonfire under its
open end fire which might have done some
damage to balloon and passengers if ever it
had got out of control
OF course, we would laugh nowadays at
crude balloon such as this one was, but all
beginnings are crude. Improvements in all
inventions come on one by one and very
slowly. Men learn by trial and error And
so, as far as aeronautics is concerned we owe
much to the Gerli brothers, who made this old
balloon, and to Chevalier Andreani, who gave
the money which made it possible.

Plant them in the gravel Some dirt on the

beneficial. Arrange the plants so that those

shadow-loving kinds will have the background.
Put in the water and two days later thu fish,
with few tadpoles to clean up after the fish,
and some snails to keep the glass clean.
Turtles are interesting, but even the smallest
of them win bite at the fish and tear their
tails.
It will be fun watching the tadpoles change
into frogs
Then place piece of glass over the entire
top of the tank and leave it alone. If every
thing is put together properly you viii seldom
need to feed them and they will get along
happily.

Fitting Ont a Tank.

ONE Of the greatest causes of failure in keep
ing goldfish is the fact that many people
think all you have to do is to get something
to hold water and drop in a few fish That
isn't right You need other things If you
want to have balanced aquarium that will
keep the things alive for a long time. Fish
need oxygen. This is thrown of into the
water by water plants, SO you want to have
some of these. Get your tank, plants, plenty
of gravel to set the plants in, and when the
whole is together wait at least two days before
introducing your fish That gives the water
time to settle, the plants time to get started
in their new home, and everything will be
ready for the fish when they come.
II you have the chance you can collect your
plants (and perhaps your fish, tool in the
ponds near your home. Fanwort (Cabomba) is
purchased in large quantities, but it is not
much good. Anacharis is better for the fish
and looks much better. Swimming Arrowwort

You have seen number of pictures Of queer
balloons. Most of them failed to work,
few of them did, but all of them seemed bit
odd and clumsy compared with the airships
we see in the sky these days. Here is another
~ these early attempts to fly, and it did
actually make several successful trips with
passengers, though it was built almost hum
dred and fifty years ago.
The man who built it was wealthy Italian
named Paul Andreani, who lived in the City of
Milan during the latter part of the eighteenth
century. He really caused it to be built, for
Andreani had much money but knew nothing
about balloons. He was willing, however, to
help the new science of aeronautics in the
only way he could; namely, by giving his
money for the cause. The balloon was actually
built by the two Gerli brothers, who had much
experience in such work.
This aircraft was made of linen, with fine
paper between the several layers of the cloth,
and 1t measured about IS feet in diameter
Underneath the open bag was placed a plat
form containing a crude sort of oil burner.
