First Ho+-Air Balloon

The first hot-air balloon was
made by Joseph Montgolfier, who
reasoned that if hot air would go
up chimney it might push up a
balloon. With a sheep, duck ans
a roster on board, his paper bal
loon made its first ascension at
Paris in 1888. A few months later
two men, Pilatre de Rozier and
the Marquis d'Arlandes, made a
trip.
Discovery of hydrogen as a lift
ing gas made the hot-air balloon
obsolete before it got real trial.

a parcel of real estate in Cardiff.
Twenty years of uneventful life for
the map maker followed. Bland,
now sixty, with a snug deposit in
savings bank, to which he added
$500 pounds, by the sale of the
Cardiff property, making 1900
pounds for grand total, resigned
from the map making establishment
and made preparations to see some
of the world that he had been chart
ing on paper for thirty-two years.
Where to go? Why not leave it to
chance? That would be an idea
worth trying. Fate should decide
for him, and in the dark. So, Her
mann repaired to his sitting room,
switched off the light and CROPPED
his way to the. center table, upon
which lay an atlas. Opening the
book at random, he stuck a pin
haphazard into the page under his
hand. Light! Which way now? The
cleaning pin stood upright in the
,vitals of a small lumber town in
northern Michigan. Well, if that was
destiny's plan. Herman Bland
would let it ride.
"Within a fortnight, Juggling two
Gladstone bags and Burberry
buster, Hermann landed in the luro-
Der town, took a room in depot
hotel, and for period of one month,
with never a complaint upon his
lips, stayed on at this capital of
vast inconvenience, sweltering heat
and boredom.
'"Three years elapsed before this
tourist minded man took an
other shot with a pin at the atlas.
This time, again in the Stygian
dark, he perforated the town of
Irkutsk, Siberia, into which, with
trunk and a heavy ulster, he
plunged by the shortest possible
route. One week was enough.
Patience Rewards Traveller.
"And now, gentlemen Of the Adj
venturers' club" said Richie,
glancing at Hoffman and steadying
his voice, II have brought you to
Hermann BANDS third trip out of
London in search Of the great adj
venture, which he alone possessed
the vision to perceive. My friend
said he to me as we emerged from
the Red sea, I have given you the
truth concerning my travels to
Michigan, and my trip to Siberia,
the memory of which kept me in
England for five years before I de-
cided to resume my travels. This
time, still in the darkness, used a
map of the world, turning my face
toward the east. Long did / delay,
fearing lest destiny desert me for
the third time. Finally, with high
hopes that the hour had come for
me to plant the point, I did so with
firm hand, and then, confidence
restored, with faith at high pitch,
turned on the light. Behold! here
in India, my pin, on blue field
stood like sentinel in the very
heart of the Vale of Kashmir."

Greatest Adventurer Is Unaware
of Right to Title.

Greatest Adventurer Is Unaware
of Right to Title.
NJ EVER in history has
\ = there been a lack Of
courageous men; at least,
never a shortage of intrepid
souls who were willing to
break a lance with fate.
Theirs are the sagas that sur
vive the ages, to be, told
wherever men congregate to
swap tales Of danger and dar-
ing.
Years ago, New York boosted an
Adventures club. Those who had
come to" grips with life and lived
to tell the tale asked nothing more
than few listeners. When a man
held the floor he had his say to
the end and none took exception
to the form or content of his mar
rative. One night the chairman, in
this case Arthur Sullivan Hoffman,
invited those present to relate dra-
matte chapters from their own ex-
perience.
Robert Richie, a visiting inter-
national journalist, called upon to
contribute yarn, had this to say:
Adventure is not necessarily
based upon thrilling eventualities.
What is adventure to one man may
be deadly nonotony to another. 1t
resolves itself into a point of view.
The greatest adventurer I ever
knew was quite unaware Of his right
to claim such title, and yet, when
one takes into consideration the de-
tails of his magnificent intrepidity,
nothing, in my opinion, compares.
His name was Hermann Bland;
dead or alive today who knows.
I met him on steamer out of
Liverpool, en- route to India via the
Mediterranean, through the Suez
and down the Red sea. Small, wiz
ened and retiring was this man,
difficult Of approach and, despite
my persistent efforts at ice break
ing, hard to crack. Not until the Sec
ond week out did he evince the
slightest inclination to fraternize. I
had gone out of my way to break
through the crust of his retreat.
His surrender was complete. This
was his story: Born in Hamburg Of
an English mother and German
father, he came to England with his
parents, shopkeepers, provisioners,
I believe, and got a fairly good
education, excelling in craftsman
ship, which led to map making.

Rubbing your eyes grinds invisible particles of
dust and dirt right into the delicate tissues,
making the irritation fast that much worse. A
much better way, as thousands have discovered,
is to use little Murine in each eye-night and

lieve eye irritation because it is reliable eye

\ r. AND MRS. DAVID N.
N RUST of Rockbridge Farm,
l near Leesburg, Va, gave one
of the most delightful parties
Of the season Friday night In honor
Of their debutante daughter, Miss
Mary Snowden Rust. The invitations
were sent out to q barn dance, and
when the guests arrived they were
taken past the bightly-hghted house
to one of the largest of the barns,
where Mr.. Rust raises those thorough
bred yearlings that he sells at Sara
toga each season and that we have
read about so much recently. He re-
ceived the second highest prices for a
Virginia bred yearling sold at the Spa
in August.
After the thoroughbreds were shipped
away the bo: stalls were freshly white
washed and cleaned. For the party
box stalls had been converted into
attractive sitting rooms, with bales of
straw placed around for seats, From
one stall supper was served at IL
O'Clock on wide, long table at the
outside of the building. Up a flight
OF stairs you came to large, airy
hay loft, the floor swept clean, and
with that delicious smell of new-cut
hay. More bales of hay were lined
along the walls for seats. The rafters
above were decorated and the room
brightly lighted. Every one had q
most wonderful time, for the much
talked-of big Apple Dance" was in
troduced into Loudoun County that
night and the young people enjoyed
going through the many intricate steps
Of this fascinating dance, a dance be-
tween the Virginia reel and Paul
Jones with lot of extra steps thrown
in, that is sweeping the country.

goes that in Columbia there Is

round and is nicknamed Big Apple
She made up this dance OF many
steps and gathered her friends around
to dance with her. They loved it and
called the dance big Apple" A COL

asked to dance in it. and the night
