Hawley, president of the New York Aero club, who returned to New York recently on the White Star liner Adriatic after a three months’ stay In London and Parts, during which he devoted himself principally to ballooning, comes back anxious and ready for the big international aero cup races to be held In September at St. I/>uls and 1b confident that the Americans will carry off all the hon ors. says the New York Times. While abroad Mr. Hawley made nine ascensions, three from London and six from Paris, one of the latter being the christening trip of the St. Louis, the big 80,000 foot balloon which he Mill pilot in the race. On this trip he was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. t’ortlandt Bishop and Mrs. Ogden Goelet. Mr. IlaMley had some exciting ex- perk-wen on his different ascensions, the most interesting of which was at Brussels when be ran into an elec trical display. “It M-as a clear nigbt,” says he, “and we had risen only a few thousand feet Mheu I noticed a phosphorescent light along the neck of the bag. I leaped over to attract the attention of my companion, Charles Levee, and when 1 touched him I was astonished to see a similar flame shoot out from his arm. 1 had beard of St. Elmo’s fire, but it did not occur to me that we were in It. “Levee muh equally puzzled. We gazed at each other dumfounded, and in my perplexity I began to stroke my mustache. Imagine my feelings when sparks darted out from under my nose like fireflies. “We looked over the edge of the basket and saw that the guide- rope was one long streak of light. Then It began to form In a ring around the edge of the basket. We did not pass out of It for several minutes^ and we have the distinction of being the first balloonists who ever entered It “The most peculiar thrill about St Elmo's fire is that, although It Is as bright as the brightest lightning, one experiences no sensation whatever In coming in contact with it The cur rent Is absolutely negative.” In London Mr. Hawley made an as cension with ('. B. Rowles, who is one of the English candidates In the In- teriatiounl race. A few days before salting be went up with Lord Roy- aton, who probably will pilot another of the English balloons. This latter ascension was made In (jermany In a race In which Mr. Hawley and Lord Royston descended In the midst of a terrific hailstorm, but came in second, traveling eight miles Is*fore the storm struck them. “It was about the most exciting ex perience I have had in all of my sev enteen ascensions,” said Mr. Hawley. “We were up 8,000 feet when the rain and hail broke over us out of a clear sky. We came down like one of our own ballast sacks when It Is thrown overboard. “The storm lasted several minutes, and when we landed we lay curled up under the basket until it cleared. Neither of us was hurt, but several persons who had followed In automo biles ran up expecting to find our dead bodies among the ropes.” Mr. Hawley says that the quickest descent he ever made was In the Grand Prlx race In Parts, when he came down from a height of 15,700 feet, with the balloon almost flat, In less than fifteen minutes. “I was not able to hear a thing for seven hours afterward,” be said. This was the longest trip he ever made in the air, having gone up at 6 o’clock In the evening and returned to the earth at 10 the next morning. He says that the pleasure of night ascen sions Is much greater in England and on the continent than In this country. “The tnilights over there are won derful,'’ he said. “We could read our Instruments until nearly twilight and never had what you would call dark ness for more than four hours. I had u delightful trip up the Itbfeie in this half light one night, our guide rope trailing along in the water for miles.” Mr. Hawley rejoiced when he learn ed Just before sailing that Lieutenant Frank Long had recovered entirely from bis recent illness and w’ill be able to enter the big race. As winner of the last big international event he will be a great addition to tbe American team. He is now' In Paris and is convalescing Satisfactorily from an attack of typhoid fever. Mr. Hawley says that the New York Aero club will do a great deal in the fall to Increase tbe interest and con fidence in ballooning. “1 can see no reason,” he said, “why pleasure parties of six or seven going up for a couple of hours will got be a common thing at our interior resorts in another year. Of course it Is not yet safe in my mind to make ascents near the ocean. I was Just as nervous as any one could be when I made my first ascent a year ago with Count de la Vauix, but now* I can’t get enough of it.” The Timely Optimist. “An optimist,” said Uncle Allen Mparks, “Is (slap) u man who believe# the mosquito (slap) was created for some lofty and (slap) beneficent pur pose.”—Chicago Tribune. VALUE OF A WHOwPER. Indian Territory Hunters Introduced to a New Character. A Muskogee (I. T.) huntiD" party on the brakes of the Illinois river had pitched Its tents for the night; the hunt ers had eaten supjrer and were smok ing a pipeful of “home grown” before turning in. They intended to get a good rest and begin their hunt the next morning. While they were spinning yarns a barefooted country boy bash fully sauntered up to tbe campfire and Inquired whether or not they wanted to hire a “whooper,” writes a Musko gee correspondent of tbe Kansas City Star. “What is a whooper?” asked one of the hunters. V “A whooper’s a whooper," said the boy in surprise. “ ’Pears to me you all ain’t much hunters if you don’t know what a whooper Is.” More to have sport with the boy than anything else the lad was hired. When the hunting party started Into the canebrake the next morning the boy said: “Now, when you all is lost Just whoop ’er up, and I’ll whoop back, and you all come to ray whoop.” In the afternoon one of tbe buuters tried to go back to camp, but lost bis way. About the time he thought he would strike a clearing he would find the canebrake growing thicker. lie had almost given up in despair when he thought of the whooper. He let out a yell and listened. “Whoopee!” came the sound from the distance. He knew the whooper bad lived up to bis contract. By fol lowing tbe sound made by the boy the hunter struck tbe clearing and got back to camp In safety. “It’s a cinch If a man goes hunting on the Illinois,” said this hunter, “he’d better employ a whooper.” CANNON’S LUCKY KICK. Hew It Saved the Speaker From a Mad Dog. Speaker Cannon narrowly escaped becoming a victim a few days ago of the mad dog epidemic, which has caused two deaths from hydrophobia In his home city of Danville, 111., and sent ten victims hurrying to Chicago for treatment in the Pasteur institute, says a Chicago dispatch to tbe New York American. It was a well directed kick, adminis tered at tbe crucial moment, that saved Uncle Joe. He was standing In front of tbe Plaza hotel in Dan ville when he beard shoots of “Mad dog!” and saw a great crowd in full chase of a yellow dog. Tbe animal was In the center of the street, and !>efore tbe speaker realized his danger It bad reached a/mint di rectly opposite him. Then, to bis as tonishment, It made a sharp turn to the right and ran directly toward him. Its mouth M-as dripping foam, and It M-as uttering short, sharp yelps of rage and fear. For a moment Mr. Cannon stood mo tionless, looking at tbe dog as If fas cinated. But when tbe animal was within two feet of him Uncle Joe’s right No. 10 suddenly shot out and caught tbe animal in tbe ribs. Tbe yelping dog was lifted into tbe air and dropped dazed Into thiF gutter. A minute later a panting inspector ar rived and killed tbe animal. Uncle Joe did not wait to see the result of his kick. The moment he had delivered it be turned and ran at a speed no one In Danville cau equal. The Silent Room Cur*. Society women are all going in for cures of one sort or another, from re pairing nervous systems by buying new gowns and fripperies and parad ing at German “Bader” to taking the sand cure. Tbe core for aoclal col lapse is the silent room, where one cau have a spasm of quiet now and then, says the New York Press. The rooms must be as cell-llke as possible; no knickknacks nor even flowers are permitted, so that the eye which is used to overornamentation is rested by simplicity. Of course the victim must be entirely cut off from telephones, messages, electric bells, electric lights, callers and social secretaries. How it must surprise the mother of eight in a fiat to hear that many millionaires are building silent rooms in their abodes! Drawing Strings For Corsets. To vary the monotony a bit there are women’s clubs w hose object Is not that of social entertaining, music or bridge. Neither are they educational nor char itable of turn, an<L no philanthropic questions are ever discussed or prayed for. A corset club is one of these, says the New York Press. It appears that many poor young women in Lou don pay sixpence a week each Into a club, and Mben 5 shillings has been subscribed a pair of corsets Is purchas ed and lots are drawn to deckle who shall |>ossess them. Tbe existence of this club came to light a few days ago when one of its members took a dis pute concerning her ownership of a particular pair of corsets to court. No Tobacco Analysis by Pur* Food Men Formal denial bus b**en made by the government pure food commission that certain w r ell known brands of tobacco contain very little tobacco, bnt consid erable brown paper, alfalfa or other cheap imitations of tobacco.

Beth Balloon* and Kites Used—Me teorologists Also Interested In Dust Motes, Specks Without Which There Would Be No Light. The weather man Is working Indus triously nowadays to make himself lu- fallible, writes John Callan O'Laugblin, the Chicago Tribune’s Washington cor respondent Not only is be studying meteorological conditions close to the earth, but he bas started an investiga tion of the air at an altitude of ten miles. In addition, he is seeking to discover a secret which nature thus far has zealously guarded—the mechanics of storms. This w’ork is not confined to the United States, though the great area of this country enables general deductions of the highest importance to mankind, but it occupies the attention of me teorological experts in Europe and the far east. The first step now bas been taken to Insure co-operation between these exiierts, so that there may be ol* tained accurate information of the strata of air that blow over the low lands and sM r eep around high moun tains and the layers of atmosphere, equally important to our comfort, which dwindle out Into ether. The result will be greater accuracy in future weather forecasting, which in Itself Mill be no mean l>oon to humani ty and perhaps eventually certain con trol of storms. Tbe Biuithsonlau Institution has re cently made an additional grant to Dr. A. Lawrence Hotel), director of the Blue Hill meteorological observatory. Just outside of Boston, for continuance of his work in collecting records of temperature, pressure and air currents ten uilles above the earth. Dr. Hotch has down kites as high as in,000 feet with instruments attached, but through the use of rubber balloons of various sizes, to which are attached small para chutes with baskets carrying self re cording Instruments, It has been jioss!- ble to get records at much greater heights. Experience has shown that as the balloon ascends and atmospheric pres sure lessens tbe hag expands until, reaching the -limit of its tension, tbe rubber breaks and releases tbe para chute with Its burden. This floats gradually to tbe ground, to be picked up and returned for a small reMard. The thermometers have registered in some cases 85 degrees below zero F. eight miles above the earth. At about seven miles a relatively warm stratum was entered* which M as found to be at a higher level in summer and autumn. Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, who has been making similar experiments at Mount Weather research observatory in the Alleghany mountains, bas found that at an altitude of 3,000 feet above Mount Weather It Is Just as warm at midnight us it is at midday In July in the hottest weather. It is the intention of Professor Moore to scatter observa tion balloons made of robber and pa per throughout tbe west, then to pick out a given storm or a given cold wave and explore it. Professor Moore thus describes his proposed experiment: We will say there la a storm extending from the Mississippi river to Dearer and from Duluth to northern Texas. By tele, graphic orders I will direct three of tbe stations in each quadrant of the etorm to liberate a balloon, aay, at 9 o’clock. They will shoot right up through that storm, and the Instruments carried In the para chute will record pressure, temperature and humidity. When the balloons get up to an altitude of ten miles, they will ex plode. We pan explode them at ten or even fifteen miles. Then the Instruments will descend slow ly to the earth with the records. They will be sent to Mount Weather, where, for the first time, we will be able to study the mechanics of tbe storm Itself. Tbe Mount Weather station promises to provide meteorological data of high est importance. It is intended there to measure the absorption of the earth's atmosphere to find out exactly tbe quantity of solar energy that reaches the earth and the quantity absorbed by tbe air. The air is full of dust, and it is in tended to count the number of dust motes. As many as 80,000,000 of these motes have l)een counted in a cubic centimeter, about one-third of an inch. These atoms of dust are nearly all vegetable and are separate and dis tinct from germs, but Professor Moore, who asserts that germs attach them selves to dust motes, says: We have learned one Important func tion. It la this: If you were to eliminate duet motes from a room, if there were no dust In the air there, every person In It would be like a star stuck In a black firmament. On a perfectly moonless night If you look at the stars they are like bright, glittering objects stuck Into a background. If there were no dust motes In the room each person would be visible, but the interval between would be Inky black. You would see walls, but the space between the walls would be inky black. You could not Illuminate the room with out dust mote*. The motes refract light. They take up light and scatter It and diffuse It and thus Illuminate the whole space. You ■ay. "What has that to do with meteor ology 7“ We have gone further, and we find that without this same atom you could not produce rain. The presence of dust motes In the atmosphere Is sucb that probably every little minute droplet has a little atom for a nucleus. You could not get a fog without dust motes at the cen ter of each Uttle minute droplet. We want to study in the physical labora- ‘ tory and count up these motes. We want to take samples from here, from the Far- allones. from New York and so forth and analyse them. We want to count them every day and determine their number. We want to count them before rain falls •ad even during the falling of rain. That Is only one of probably, I might aay. a hundred problems that we want t* In vestigate at esperlmental stations. CLERICAL HAIR CUT. Chicago Ministers and Barbara Discuss the Questiorv “What kind of a hair cut will you have. Ilaptist. Methodist, Presbyterian or independent? We have fifty-seven varieties.” According to th; Rev. Dr. Ultchett. president of the general conference of the Methodist church of Australia. tbe barbers ought to be so well versed % In the religious makeups of the city as to greet every customer with the foregoing question, and every custom er ought to Ije so well informed on hair cuts that he would make prompt reply something like this: “I’ll take one of those Unitarian trims with round corners and an Epis copal shampoo.” “If I dropjied from a Iwlloon into a gathering of Baptists I could tell their sect by the way their hair Is cut,” said Dr. RItchett, addressing the an nual conference of his church in Lon don. Chicago Baptists evidently appreci ate the compliment, as do the Chicago barliers. Dr. Johnson Myers, pastor of Immanuel Baptist church, who, by (lie May. is more blessed Mith brains and popularity than he Is with hair on his head, spoke up for the Baptists. “The Methodist preacher HtVight,” he said. “We Baptists are proud of the distinction. We believe in patron izing the barliers. One can tell a Bap tist by the nice, clean hair cut he wears.” “Can you tell a Methodist preacher by the way his hair Is cut?” Dr. Myers asked. “No, hut you can by the lack of it.” he replied. ‘ The Methodists are long haired.” Dr. Myers said all the explanation he has to make to his barlier when he takes his semimonthly hair cut Is to ask for a “Baptist hair cut.” Dr. John L. Jackson, pastor of Hyd • Park Baptist church, agreed with Dr Myers. “Yes. you can tell a Baptist by his neat hair cut,” he said “Both Dr. Myers and myself got a hair cut Just today.” “Dr. William A. (Juayle. pastor of >'t. Janies’ Methodist Episcopal church. M’iis mentioned as an ideal type of the present day Methodists. Dr. Cjuayle wasn't at home, but members of his church admit that It is Methodism and not hair tonic that is responsible for his delise auburn locks. “The question of long hair is a tied cate one.” said the Rev. Wlllla::i B. Leach, pastor of Sacramento Boule vard Methodist Episcopal church. “I’d like to grow a head of long hair, but Methodism and hair tonic combined don’t seem to produce the desired re sult. I think I can tell a Baptist preacher by his hair cut all right.” Presbyterians are not “long” ou hair cuts, according to the Rev. Louis P. Cain, pastor of Edgewater Presbyte rian church. “There was a time, some years ago.” he said, “when you could tell a Meth odist'preacher by his style of hair cut. He wore bumsides and long hair. But I think preachers have outgrown most of those styles. Today it is the man first and the preacher second with all pastors. They dress like other men. You can’t tell a Presbyterian by his hair cut.” George McWilliams, head barber In the Palmer House barber shop, who has had twenty-four years’ experience as a tonsorial artist in Chicago, says there was a time when be could tell the sect of a preacher by bis drees and hair cut. Today be can only tell a Metho dist or a Catholic priest. "Methodists like their hair cut long and almost always wear little short burnsldes,” said the veteran barber. “Priests always are smooth shaven and keep their hair short.”—Chicago Trib une.

MCb GAS FROM CORNCOBS. Bheap and Effective llluminant Fer Nebraska Town. A commercial grade of Illuminating gas made from cornstalks, corncdbs, hay and other vegetable matter is be ing used in Beatrice. Ind., for fuel and lights and has superseded coal gas* says a Beatrice (Neb.) dispatch to the New York Sun The cost of the new gas is $1.19 per 1,000, the low*?st price at which gas is sold in any city in Nebraska. In quality It is as good as coal or oil gas. John D. Rockefeller is said to be back of the company which is fur nishing the gas, and the franchise for the plant is in the name of the Rev. Charles Eaton of Cleveland. Rockefel ler’s pastor The company has com pleted a $100,000 plant at Beatrice. It is the first plant In the world in which gas is produced in this manner. Tbe vegetable mfttter Is placed in large retorts and roasted until the wa ter is forced out. This water Is then turned into steam, and the gases elim inated are very combustible and a per^ feet substitute for ordinary coal gas. A year ago Mr. Eaton applied for the franchise for establishing a gas plant, and It was voted to him. The plant which has recently been finished Is the result. Absolutely nothing Is used In manufacturing the gas except farm refuse. Because of the cheapness of the raw material tbe gas can be manufactured very cheaply and sold at a much lower rate than can coal gas. LIGHTING NIAGARA FALLS. Love Letter* Wiped Out Church Debt. There was great rejoicing in the new Brooklyn church in Sicklerville, N. J., recently when tbe last dollar of the debt against the parsonage was paid. The money was raised in a novel manner. Every female member of the church wrote a letter to all tbe boys that were her schoolmates in bygone days, no matter where they now live, solicit ing contributions. The men memliers likewise wrote to their schoolgirl sweethearts of long ago. Many a pleas ant correspondence developed, and It is said some of the letters were cal culated to revive the spark of affection that was kindled when the writers were youngsters, but as husbands and wives were allowed to read one anoth er's letters not a case of Jealousy is re corded. Tbe money came In so fast that in a short time the entire debt was paid off. and as the contributions are still com ing in the parsonage will be brighten ed by a new coat of paint.—Philadel phia Inquirer. Mist and Water Will Flash Alj Color# of the Rainbow at Night. ** The contract has been closed for the night Illumination of Niagara falls, and the proposed plan for lighting tbe mighty torrent will be tbe greatest feat ever conceived in electrical illumL nation, says the New York World. Tbe falls will lie illuminated for tha first time Aug. 15, and the General Electric company has charge of the work. Tbe illuminating scheme calls for nearly fifty large searchlights, sev eral of them the largest of their kind Bnd capable of throwing a beam of light a hundred miles, and the new color scintillator, a late invention. The projectors will be located below the falls in two batteries, one at the water’s edge and the other on the high ground of the Canadian side. Every inch of the two falls will be under light. Tbe new color scintillator is an at tachment fitted to the searchlights by which the beams of light can lie made any color at will. Thus the mist and water, bathed In all the colors of the rainbow, will surpass anything in spec tacular effect save the great aortbern lights. The proposition is to Ulmnlnate Niag ara on a scale in keeping with tbe sur roundings. It is said by the Mluminat- ing experts that the rays of colored lights when flashed In the air will be visible at Rochester and Toronto. Fooled the Singers. Pforzheim. Germany, possesses sev eral choral societies. A few weeks ago these societies received a letter which purported to come from a so ciety of Gennan singers in New York inviting the Pforzhelmers to come over to join in celebrating tbe five hun dredth anniversary of the founding of the German choral societies of that f'ty. The Pforzhelmers at once ac cepted snd set to work to rehearse and to make their preparations for the Journey. But Just before they started some one pointed out to them that 600 years ago not only were there no Germans in New York, but that Christopher Columbus bad not even discovered America. The Pforzheim- ers then took a great oath not to men tion the subject to any one. but the story got out and has almost equaled that of the famous captain of Koe* penick in popularity. Chicago New*.
