Silas II, the present owner of the farm, had shown the same inventive faculties, He had added to the income left him by Ms father by means of a suc cessful vegetable grater and a re markable churn. But he lived In too stirring an age to confine Lis ener gles to such homely products. Elec tricity and gasoline were bound to fascinate a mind lke Cotton's, and until his latest occupied his pace with the toy, an airship, divided aftention. times, resignaticn, There were never many travellers upon it, and that afternoon but a single vehicle wag to be seen, a bright blue fish-cant bound for ®e Moorland market. Somehow its &riv er happened to Bee the Comet, and with a Jerk he pulled the horse to a standstill and stood up, presenting the white disk of his face to the sky. Noah laughed and waved his hand, and as the Comet shot by, the fishe~ man snatched up his horn and blew a broken bellow, expressive of his excitement. This was the only man whom Noah saw that day, although it turned out that nearly every farmer of the coun- tryside had seen him. The fishcart had hardly dwindled away when a note so thin would have been inexperienced ear rhythm of the motor. Noah tened with a frown. With cate fingers he overran and that part, but the small voice sang with mischievous obstin- acy, and swelled in volume until it led, as it were, the refrain of the on- gine. Then with a series hoarse chucks it ceased abruptly, the the 1is- dell threaded foreign of and been the woilld have to overhaul On the ground it comparatively easy this waste between Duntown and Moorland, where it would be im- to secure the ald he might need. So he tinkered away as best could, sometimes rewarded by a brief spinning of the propeller that roused his hopes in vain, With her engine dead, the Comet was at the mercy of the wind. At first this drove her on toward Moor- land, in the course previously select. but presently, due either to a change in the wind or a cross-current, she began to drift north. The long shuttleshaped bag had not the steadi ness of the ordinary spherical balloon, amd its quick rolling and unexpected plunges tried Noah's nerves and in creased the difficulty of his work. Hoping to reach a calmer stratum last bags, and as the sand fell the it as a Within limits it practical machine, but its flight bad been short.

There was no “car” proper, saddle or long, Iadderlike frame. which spread between his legs llke an inverted V. Before him on a platform was the little engine, from which the light shaft ran on its bearings to the pro- peller at the bow. Neah swung the crank the engine began sputter—phit! phit! phut! phurrrr! As the explos- amal} bi 3 low drone, and the propeller-blades whirled in an unbroken ed disk. Noah worked himself back- ward along the framework, that his weight might tilt the nose of the ship upward when she started “Let her go!” he said “Not more than an hour out! sald big father. “Remember! 1 shall ex pect you back in about a couple of hours.” “All right—if the motor behaves,” replied Noah, “Let her 80 now, She's running well.” Silas drew down the lever eontroll- ing the ‘various clutches that held the Comet in her cradle. Immediately she rose like a duck from walter, on a long ascending line that barely cleared the fence and the mmples beyond. But as Noah upset one of the swinging ballast bags of sand, so, delicately had her lifting power been caloulated that she responded instantly in a curvette that put her out of the reach of ob structions. Up she went perilously on end; but Noah, crawling inch by neh up the frame, gradually depressed her bow until, two hundred and fifty feet above the racing flelds, she plerced the air on an even keel. The could white spire round which the loose farms of Duntown lay swam by on the north, Noah pulled at the tiller-ropes, and the huge rudder two intersecting planes of canvas stiffened with bamboo—swung the obedient ship parallel with the state road. He was now siding directly with the wind, and like a “running” vessel the Comet alternately dipped and rose, but in much longer and smoother SWoops, Between Duntown and Moorland on the west stretched ten miles of bar ren jittle hills, breaking at their crests into naked sand, the intervening vales studded with thick-imbed, dwasrt trees, The state road seemed to run through this country with an alr of $1 moment the rise like a cannon-ball For a Noah frightened: of the ghip. ceased almost as abruptly as it had begun, and hung eighty feet above the white mass of cumuli, casting a shadow upon it The earth had vanishe It if he fell the him as in a blanket ; of wind had also its steadying ef fect upon Noah.

Rigid with horror, Noah saw the slit widen, until the whole snout. torn the rush of the imprisoned le one flew upward the a almost clown’s hat. The long belly of the bag began to work as if it were breathing, and at the rupture the silk fluttered loosely. The Comet was spilling her gas fast Gently her tail sank and her wound ed nose pointed up and up until she stood nearly on end, still sinking. With arms and legs wrapped con- vulsively about the framework, Noah had a bitter moment of terror. The Comet was more than half a mile above the dunes. In a few minutes she would begin to fall in earnest, and as the gas rushed from her, her speed would increase, until jong be. fore the point of safety eould be reach- ed she would be shooting downward, a streaming wreck, with tremendous velocity. Why should he cling to her! anticipation. seemed to be a second personality, a Ing upon the problem from every side, ing them In a flash and spurring af. ter others. This was his inheritance, perfected by long training, and his fear was dull and slow in comparison, While his eyes saw the earth leap- ing up to meet him, he had an even more vivid picture of the broken bag and its worm-like pulsations as It ex- pelled the gas, and a portion of his mind began to calculate the probable number of minutes that would elapse before the ship lost all buoyancy and the plummet rush began. He perceived at once that the down. ward motion would drive In the tail, the gas being no longer confined, and acelerate its natural volatile propen. sitfes evovmously, If the balloon were reversed, however, the strong pressure of the alr would drive back most of the lighter hydrogen. Noah saw it In a flash. It was his only chance, and his courage rose to it,” superior to the weakness of his shaking nerves. Not go much time had been lost as his fears measured. The Comet was buoyant still, but hanging at a horrl- ble slant, and Noah clcsed his eyes as he began to crawl upward. He wormed his way over the little engine and along the narrow spine, hig feet seeking the lateral braces. Fortunate. ly there was a lull in the wind, for the throes of the Comet as she felt her ballast shifted were violent. She | lurched drunkenly, swung east, then spun back again, but her snout was descending. When she came down to an even | keel, Noah managed to swing himself about. It was none too quickiy done, { As his feet struck against the propel ler, the tall of the Comet soared up- ward, and puffing out her yellow { cheeks, she dived head first. What was her rate of speed? Was the gas still escaping to a dangerous | extent? It seemed Noah that he was almost stationary, but he knew this to be a common iljusion in bal looning.

Experts to Study Best Methods of Prevention and Relief-=Window in Armored Cylinder. A miniature coal mine, In which explosions will take place for the pur- pose of observing what causes mine horrors, and for the further study of such calamities and the best method of preventing them and of extending relief when they do occur is to be es- tablished in Pittsburg by the Tech- nologie Branch of the United States Geological Burvey. A site for the plant or school is now being selected by J. A. Holmes, thief of the Techno- logic Branch, and Pittsburg will be selected not only because it is close to West Virginia, the scene of more mine horrors thun any other place in the world, but because there is an abundance of natural gas there with which to conduct the experiments Letters have been received there from Holmes, in which his plans. The most important part of the miniature mine will be a cylinder 100 feet long and six feet in diamter, conducted the experiments. linder will be filled with the various things which cause mine explosions: Fire damp and alr, coal dust and air, black damp and air and gases of va- rious kinds. This cylinder will be filled with these combinations, and into them will be hurled by a mortar the various things which causes ex- plosions, dynamite, powder or nakad lamps. From these experiments it will be shown what really cause ex- plosions and what does not.
