    Ina Runaway Balloon.
General Fitz-John Porter’s Sudden Flight into Space.
“It always seems to me that Andree’s |
Arctic balloon voyage hadn’t even one |
chance in a thousand of escaping disaster,”’
said General Fitzporter to a New York Sun
reporter. ‘Thirty-five years ago I devel-
oped the use of captive balloons for war
purposes, and have since been a close ob-
server of experiments in aeronautics. The
science has not yet reached a point to war-
rant the hope that balloons may be con-
trolled in navigating space around the
North Pole. Evils lurk above, below and
all around.
“My experience with a runaway balloon
at Yorktown has in it a lesson to aeronauts
who ascend upon the borders of dangerous
territory. At Yorktown we were in close
contact,with the enemy. My runaway bal-
loon carried me to the rear of our own army
where I would have been in no danger be-
yond that which confronts any amateur
who attempts to make a descent. Carried
in a contrary direction, I was in danger of
falling into the enemy’s lines, and perhaps
my descent might have been hastened and
made fatal by the shots of reckless fellows
who would consider the aerial voyager fair
game.
“My balloon had tantalized the confed-
erates for many days. They saw that I
was doing some very valuable spy work,
and tried in every way to bring it down. I
was wholly unprepared for a flight into
space, and it was a wonder that, under the
circumstances, I gained control of myself
and of the machine, and made the ascent a
valuable one from a military point of view.
The accident to my safety ropes was an
extraordinary one. In fact, that part of
the affair was no accident at all : it was
the result of a plot. The accident lay in
the fact that I came near being the victim
of the plot, instead of a member of the bal-
loon corps.
“I made the ascent just at the time by
special direction of General McClellan,
who wished me to take some observations
of affairs inside the confederate lines, with
a view to ordering an immediate attack.
This was wholly unexpected by the bal-
loon corps. It seems that a certain mem-
ber of the corps was a new arrival in the
amp, and as he ranked a little above some
of the old hands, they were jealous of him,
and made up their minds that the best
way to get rid of him was to have an acci-
dent happen to the balloon under his man-
agement. They deliberately removed all
the safety ropes but one, and to that they
applied acid which cut the strands almost
in two. The moment the balloon ascend-
ed far enough to strain the remaining
strands they parted, and the airship with
its occupant, who happened to be myself,
Jeaped into space.
“With every confidence in the balloon
corps, I entered the basket hastily, not
noticing that there was only one safety
rope, and ordered the men to cast off. I
had my field glass out and was sweeping
the field with it, unconscious of what was
taking place with the balloon until I felt
myself flying upward far beyond the usual
limit. A glance downward told me that

the balloon was running away. At first I
was uncertain what to do, because it was a |
new situation to me.
As a rule Professor |
Lowe, the chief aeronaut, had accompanied |
me, and I had left the management of the |
balloon to others.
“Supposing one of the small ropes dang- |

tempted to pull it and let myself down. It

basket and grabbed that with better sue-
cess. I noticed that I

“I knew that I had control of the bal-
loon and determined to carry out the ob-
ject of the ascension. I had my glass with
me and swebt the whole field around York-
town, up the peninsula to Richmond,
I saw the fleets in the harbor. I saw the
camps of the enemy along the James river
and around Richmond, with their flazs fly-

sonal direction.

moving back and forth some distance. At
the time I estimated I was 1,500 feet above
the ground at the highest point. I may
have been further than that. T know the
entire peninsula from seventy to eighty
miles in length and thirty to forty in
breadth, appeared to be no larger than a
man’s hand. Our own camp some miles
in extent, and holding from 70,000 to 80,-
000 boys in blue, seemed no larger than a
ten-cent piece.’’
Where Gold Is Scorned.
A Land Whose Mineral Wealth is Practically Un-
claimed.— Superstition and Laziness.—Mexico
Might Become the Treasure House of the World
Did Her People but Have Due Ambition.
For over 350 years the Indians of Mexico’
have been bringing in washed gold to sell
and pay their tribute to the government,
but no great amount of interest has ever
been taken in the matter. Excitement or
interest is hard to raise among Mexicans.
The half-breed descendants of the Spanish
conquerors follow in the steps of their
grandfathers and are without ambition or
idea of advancement.
Gold, either free or in connection with
other mineral, is to be found in most of |
the states of Mexico, but in the main Sierra
or
FH
zone. This strip of territory is but sparse-
ly inhabited and but little known, the |
main population of Mexico being confined |
to the arid and barren tablelands, where
silver, copper and lead are the principal
minerals. The best agricultural and miner-
al lands of Mexico—the first in Vera Cruz
and Tabasco ; the second along the west-
ern slopes of the Sierra Madre—have never
been developed nor occupied.
Some remarkably rich gold mines have
recently been opened at the northern end
of this formation, in the state of Sonora,
east from Hermosillo, in the Minas Prietas
district. A short time ago an enterprising
prospector, Mr. Faulkner, made some rich
washings of gold from some of the head-
waters of the Yaqui river, and some little
local interest was excited. About the same
time a party of engineers 1eturning from
western Durango reported the finding of a
hill of gold ore some three miles long, and
specimens picked up off of the surface were
assayed at from $3 to $15 to the ton.
In the state of Sinaloa there are gold
placers, as there are, too, in the state of
Jalisco, and this formation extends south
through Michoacan into Guerrero.
In Guerrero the mountains spread out
into a mass of broken ridges, mostly
heavily timbered, and gold is washed from
all the streams running out of this broken
country. This mountain country is prac-
tically unknown and unexplored. The
Indians from time immemorial have had
the tradition that these mountains are en-
chanted (‘‘cantado’) and you cannot pre-
vail upon one of them to enter that region.
The Indian name for gold means food of
the gods, and they believe it comes down
from heaven in the lightning. It would
be time lost to endeavor to convince them
that it is washed out of the rocks and is in
the mountains. Their clinching argument
is: “When the lightning comes down
from heaven you can see the yellow of the
gold.”” This, to their minds, settles the
question.
There are Indian towns near Teloloapan
whose inhabitants live from the gold wash-
ed out of the streams, and have done so
for hundreds of years ; but none have ever |
dared to venture back into the mountains.

Saxons her agricultural resources, instead

horses in the streets appeared to be ants,
while columns of soldiers were moving
masses of little specks.
“My second startling sensation was
when I found that by letting out some

of the world in sugar, cotton, coffee and
other products, and her mineral resources,
instead of being but 10 per cent. developed,
would have produced more gold than all
| the rest of the world.
Writing in 1803, Baron von Humboldt
declared that Mexico would become ‘‘the
future treasure house of the world.” His
remark was founded on personal observa-

tice and that was that the confederate sol-
diers were running out of their camps and
i
cheering in the expectation, probably. that |
I would descend among them.
“Confederates have since told me that
they were highly excited over the ac-
tions of the balloon. [It had been their
custom whenever I ascended the length of
of the safety ropes to try their small arms
on shooting at it, and they even at times
tried rifle cannon, when it ascended slow-
ly. But on this occasion its appearance
was a complete surprise. When they first
saw it it had mounted high above their
heads. They made no attempt to shoot at
at it.
“The current I was in was rapidly bear-

second Pennsylvania, Baxter's Zouaves.
The men had heen excited spectators of
the flight of the balloon, but they all sup-
posed that its occupanu was Professor Lowe.
I wore no insignia of rank. I did not un-

cavalry had taken the field and ridden out

Hanging by His Neck.
A delicate and extremely rare surgical
operation has been performed successfully
at San Francisco, upon C. Hoffman, a
young German farmer. By it not only his
life has been saved, but he ison the speedy |
way to recovery.
In the latter part of July he sustained a
compound fracture of the third cervical
vertebra, an injury nearly always fatal,
which prevented the moving of his head in
any direction. On August 11th he was
brought to the hospital, where the arch of
the third vertebra and a portion of the sec-
ond vertebra were removed.
The patient rests on an inclined plane.
The weight of his body sets as a counter
extension to the weight applied to an ex-
tension apparatus, which is attached to
the head, and the patient is virtually sus-
pended by the neck until he shall be re-
stored to health.

A Fading Army.
the steady inroad death is making on the
membership of the organization. The
total number of names on the roll as re-
ported at Buffalo is 319,446, a falling off
from the number reported in 1396 of 21,-
154. This is the largest decrease with one
exception which the adjutant general of
the Grand Army has had to report since
the organization was formed. The num-
ber and percentage of deaths are also larger
than ever reported before.
The membership of the Grand Army in-
creased rapidly for a number of years. In
1876 it had 38,016 names on its muster
rolls. The number rose annually by rapid
strides until in 1290 the rolls contained
409,489 names. This proved to be high-
water mark, as since then there has been
a steady decrease in the number, until
now there are only 319,456 names on the
rolls. This is a decrease of 90,033 in seven
years. The number of deaths and the
percentage they bear to the total member-
ship have also steadily grown. In 1886
per there were 3,020 deaths reported, or 0.93
cent. of the membership. Ten years later,
in 1896, the number of deaths was 7,293 or
2.21 per cent. of the membership. This
vear the number of deaths reported is
7,515 or 2.35 per cent. The number of
deaths and the per cent. will naturally in-
crease more rapidly as the years go by.
It is easy to see that the Grand Army is
passing into the shade and that before
many years have passed the survivors will
be few and far between. Many, if not
most, of those who remain are suffering in
health from the sacrifices they made in the
war for the union, or have become in-
capaciated by age and toil.

J. P. 8. Gobin Elected Commander-in-Chief of Them
Will Meet Next in Cincinnati. For Commander
There Was a Stampede on the Second Ballot.
Cincinati’s triumph in securing the na-
tional encampment of the G. A. R. for 1898,
and Pennsylvania's victory in winning the
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army,
were the features of the Buffalo encamp-
ment. Both battles were hard fought.
The struggle was precipitated immediately
after the executive session was called to
order. The selection of the next place of
meeting was first taken up and the rival
cities were given a hearing.
On the first ballot Cincinnati received
526 votes and San Francisco 214. The
vote had not been announced when Mr.
Woodruff withdrew San Francisco and ask-
ed that the selection of Cincinnati be made
unanimous. This was agreed to by accla-
mation.
Following the selection of Cincinnati,
Archbishop Ireland was called to the stage
and made a glowing patriotic speech. He
was followed by General Lew Wallace.
Isaac I. Mack, of Sandusky, O., J. P.
S. Gobin, of Lebanon, Pa., who was nom-
inated by Delegate Stewart, of Pennsylva-
nia, and John G. Linehan, of New Hemp-
shire, were the candidates for commander-
in-chief. The first ballot resulted :
Mack, 253; Linehan, 181; Gobin, 296,
no choice. The vote on the ballot
was never announced officially, but as
cast it stood:
Gobin 358, Mack 259, Linehan 123, Be-
fore the result could be announced by the
tellers, the ten Missouri votes that had been
cast for Mack were withdrawn and ordered
changed to Gobin. who had received the
other twelve of the twenty-two belonging
to the state. This gave Gobin 368 votes
and enough to elect.
Then the election was made unanimous.
——Gettysburg and fall of Vicksburg,
the turning points of the war in the East
and West, occurred almost simultaneously
the first on July 1st, 2nd and 2rd, and the
second on July 4th, 1863.
Out of every 1,000 men enlisted during
the war an average of 73 men were always
on the sick list, and an average of 234 were
absent for various reasons, leaving 693

with the heaviest losses, during the entire
war, Antietam was the bloodiest, consider-
ing the number of troops actually engaged.
In a single day’s fighting at Antietam 2,-
108 Union soldiers were killed and 9,549
wounded.
Some time next month the eques-
trian statue of Major General John F.
Haztranft will be unveiled in front of the
Capitol building in Harrisbug, Pa. The
model is now being made in Paris. The
monument is to be of bronze, one and one-
half life size, upon a large bronze pedestal.
On the front of the monument will be the
following inscription: ‘John Fredrick

December 16th 1830. Died October 17th,

i Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, author of ‘“Jin-
ricksha Days,”’ writes a paper intitled
‘Prisoners of State at Boro Boedor,’’for the
September Century. It is an account of
the visit of two American ladies to the vast
Buddhist ruins in the middle of Java.
Miss Scidmore says:
Every few miles there were open red-tiled
pavilions built over the highways as refi.
es for man and beast from the scorching
sun of one season and the cloud-burst show-
ers of the rainy half of the year. Twice
we found busy passers going on in groves
beside these rest-houses—picturesque gath-
erings of men, women and children, and
and displays of fowls, fruits, nuts, vegeta-
bles, grain, sugar, spices, gums, and flowers, |
that tempted one to linger and enjoy, and
to photograph every foot of the passer’s
area. The main road was crowded all the
way like a city street, and around these
passers the highway hummed with voices.
One can believe in the density of the
population—twenty-four million people on
this island of 49,197 square miles, about
the size of the state of New York—when
he sees the people trooping along these
country roads ; and he can well under-
stand why every sort of land is cultivated
how even in the benevolent land of the ba- |
nana every one must work or starve. Men
and boys toiled to the passer, bent over
with the weight of one or two monstrous
jackfruits or durians on their backs. A
woman with a baby swinging in the slan- |
dang over her shoulder had tied cackling |
chickens to the back of her belt, and |
trudged on comfortably under her um- |
brella ; and a boy slung a brace of ducks
from each end of a shoulder pole, and trot-
ted gayly to the passer. i
The kampongs, or villages, when not |
hidden in palm and plantain groves behind |
fancy bamboo fences, were rows of open
houses on each side of the highway, and
we reviewed native life at leisure while po- |
nies were changed. The friendly, gentle,
little brown people welcomed us with
amused and embarrassed smiles when our
curiosity as to sarong-painting, lacquering,
and mat-weaving carried us into the fami-
ly circle. The dark, round-eyed, star-eyed
babies and children showed no fear or shy- |
ness, and the tiniest ones—their soft little |
warm brown bodies bare of ever a garment
save the cotton slandang in which they cud-
dle so confidingly under the mother’s pro-
tecting arm—Iet us lift and carry and play
with them at will.
Not Experienced.
“I told her I was afraid to kiss her
while we were on the tandem for fear we
should both fall oft.’
‘What did she say ?”’
‘‘She said she hoped I didn’t call myself
an experienced wheelman.’’
