TO the largest JTee O0%IOOn eCeT con-
feet from the gondola to protect them
from the possibility of radiated heat.
To prevent trapping of dead air in the
tubes, which would prevent reading Of
the true temperature of the free air, q
tiny electric motor and fan blade are
mounted on the inner end of the tube
to suck the outside air through the tube.
THIS motor Is one Of number Of very
small special motors built under
Capt. Stevens supervision for US In the
various balloon instruments. Con-
structed Of . newly developed magnetic
alloy, these motors are designed to re-
duce errors due to heat losses and to
cut down current consumption. They
are Of an extremely high order Of
efficiency and are capable Of speeds Of
more than 1000 revolutions per minute.
One Of the important devices built
BY Capt Stevens Is . balloon valve Of
unique design. Heretofore it has been
necessary to operate . valve in the top
of q balloon bag by means of . rope
tugged from the gondola. As balloons
have increased In size, this type Of valve
has become less and less satisfactory
and In the new SHAKESPEARE balloon,
three and one-han times larger than
any ever before built, it was realized
something entirely new must be used.
The valve invented by Capt. Stevens
will be opened by means Of a long
rubber hose into which compressed gas
will be admitted. It will operate on
the principle of the air brake. In tests,
with 400 feet of hose in temperatures
of minus As degrees centigrade, it
worked perfectly.
: The gondola in which Kepner and
Stevens will ride with their impressive
"menagerie" of trained instruments Is
an alright ball fitted with numerous
glass-covered windows and portfolios,
from which will project the SHOUTS of
cameras, ballast release valves and
other devices, all sealed against air
leakage It is made of "dowmetal," a
hard, shiny, exceedingly light metal ex-
tracted from the magnesium chloride
OF mineral spring at Midland, Mich.
The dowmetal alloy is IS per cent pure
magnesium, half the weight of alumni
mum and about one-fifth the weight of
steel. The hollow ball is feet 4 inches
in diameter and is built up of sections
shaped like pieces of orange peel,
welded together. The shell is little
less than three-sixteenths Of an inch
thick and the whole weighs only $50
pounds. If made Of steel it would weigh
about ton.
The flyers will enter the ball through
manholes fitted with alright covers
which can be released easily by hand
from within. On the way down from
the stratosphere, when breathable air
is reached, these covers will be lifted
from their hinges and dropped over
board, attached to parachutes, as ballast

.ianese Twins Born
10 Young Mother
In Virginia

Norfolk, Virginia, Oct. IL. - Mrs.
Cassie Midget, young mother of
this city, % years of age, gave birth
to set of Siamese girl twins, last
week. The babies were dead at
birth. This is said to be the first
case known to the city or to the state
of Virginia, and according to medi-
cal history, out of the millions of
cases of childbirth, there has been
an average of one set of Siamese
twins out of every million births, and
this puts the average very high. The
unusual thing about the Midget
twins is that they were joined togeth-
er at the side, apparently by con-
nection of the ribs, rather than by
She spine, as has been the case in
other instances of Siamese twins.
They weighed about 8 pounds each,
and were perfectly formed in every
way. Physicians and laymen of both
races showed decided interest in
the case, and thousands of spectators
viewed their bodies while the lay in
the Hale Undertaking establishment
here.
The Journal and Guide printed a
copyright picture of the dead twins
held by the attending nurse.

WHITE VEN BREAK
JAIL TO RAPE WO1AN

Wagner, Okla, Oct. 12.-Not
even the strong iron locks on two
Jail cells were secure enough to pro-
tect 19-year-old Helen May Glover
from criminal attack by two white
fellow prisoners here last week.
The white prisoners, Elmer Key
of Wagner and Bill Smith of Okay,
who were arrested for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, were lodged
in cell near one which held the
young Negro girl .....
r Key and Smith, breaking both
the lock on their own cell and the
one on the woman's cell, attacked
the young girl in the confines of the
Jail. Both were charged with first
degree rape, and their bond was set
at $4,000 in the district court.
