Aeronaut to Prepare Astronomer
For Trip Toward Mars.
WILL HAVE TO BE SKY BROKEN
fBoth Must Learn to Breathe Tank
Oxygen Before. They Make Balloon
Journey to Signal the Planet Will
Use Water Ballast and Carry Ten
Milea of Wire.
Leo Stevens, the aeronaut, got back
to New York from Amherst college the
other day, having spent several days
with. Prof essor David P. Todd, the as
tronomer, planning the details of the
balloon trip that he and the professor
have promised themselves to take on
the inth of next September. Mars
will be nearest the earth then, and the
professor is going to try to intercept
some of the electric messages he be
lieves the wise old Martians have been
patiently firing at us for, decades.
"I don't know about getting in touch
with Mars that's the professor.'s busi
ness but I hare contracted to take
him up ten miles, and I'm going to do
it," said the aeronaut.
Stevens added that the professor was
engrossed by the prospect of the trip
and was ready to begin training right
away.
Of course first of all the professor
will have to be sky broken. He is go
ing to begin on that in a few days,
when Stevens will take him and a few
of his 'Amherst boys on a little ascen
sion at Springfield, Mass. After that,
if the professor follows the aeronaut's
directions, he will go up every week
or so and learn to like it.
For the month of August the pro
fessor has laid out a course of train
ing for himself and Stevens. It will
consist of regular exercises at breath
ing tank oxygen -in an air tight com
partment. . Stevens will probably take
this course at Amherst. Its purpose
will be to acclimate them to life in the
air tight aluminium compartments in
which they will be penned for a great
er part of their flight.
"One of the things that we settled
at Amherst," said Stevens, "was the
question of bailast. That has been
troubling us. It will be impossible for
lis, penned up in our aluminium cases,
to handle sand or anything of that
sort. We have concluded, however, to
carry, water as ballast, which will be
released by stopcocks in the aluminium
boxes."
The balloon which Stevens will use
has a lifting power of two and a half
tons, but the aeronaut says he will
make ample provisions for expansion
in the rarefied regions, starting out
probably with the balloon not more
than ohe-third inflated; also he is go
ing up a mighty sisht faster than he
would ordinarily, so as to keep from
freezing when the balloon touches the
high points. .
"The throwing over of a quarter of
a" pound of ballast will send my bal
loon up a thousand feet," said he, "but
when we start on the great ascension
we will drop probably fifty pounds of
water at a time."
Of course, being cooped up in the
aluminium pens and fed on oxygen,
speed won't interfere 'with their
breathing..
Stevens declared that he and the
professor are dreadfully in earnest
with this project; that they, have al
ready placed orddra in France for a
special barograph and other instru
ments that will guide them fn their
flight; also they have begun to make
arrangements for the manufacture of
the aluminium cases and for about ten
miles of special wire that the pro
fessor wants to pay out so as to keep
in touch with the earth. Stevens esti
mates that the ten miles of special
wire. will weigh only about 200 pounds.
it seems to be indispensable." said
the aeronaut, "to the professor's
scheme for getting into wireless com
munication with Mars. He has eot to
be grounded or something."
The aluminium tanks will close air
tight like a refrigerator; but. according
to tne present day plans, they will be
furnished with a heavy glass floor and
windows. Mr. Stevens didn't expect,
however, that they would have to re
sort to their tanks until they attain a
neignt or live miles or .more. They
will have a little chair in each alu
minium box and a good supply of
"heat producing" food.
Stevens has never been higher than-
iour ana tnree-quarter miles. He said
recently: ' -
"Three Frenchmen went up eight
and. a quarter miles about a year ago,
but one of them was frozen to death
and another paralyzed. They weren't
prepared for such a height, however,
and we will be. We intend to go up at
least until it is impossible to draw
oxygen from our tanks, and then, of
course, we will take the warning and
drop, for a balloon, my boy, always
has the energy to drop." New York

Shoes of Bronze For Women. ;
Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden has given
society something new to talk about
with her bronze shoes and slippers. It
is a time for the unusual in footwear;
The suede shoe already Is mostly a
matter of history, and there has been
nothing fit to match the bronze shoe
which Mrs. Burden wears both after
noon and evening. The effect Is not as
startling: as might be expected. In
fact, the bronze shoe has one advan
tage in giving a small effect to the
feet, and the color shades tastefully
with certain bright gowns. There is
no doubt that as a rfisnlt. n Mm 'Vtn-r.

STORIES OF LORIMER.
ixperiwiee of the New Illinois Senator
, With a Farmer. .
Representative William Lorimer of
Chicago, Republican, who wag recently
elected United States senator from Illi
nois to succeed Albert J. Hopkins, is
a great walker. One day when he
was a congressman he was out for a
tramp along the conduit road leading
from Washington. He sat down to
rest after going a few miles.
"Want a lift, mister?" asked a good
natured Maryland farmer driving that
way. .
"Thank you." responded Mr. Lori
mer. "I will avail myself of your kind
offer." . .
The two rode in silence for awhile.
Presently the teamster asked, "Profes
sional man?"
"Yes," answered Lorimer, who was
thinking of a bill he had pending be
fore the house.
After another long pause the farmer
observed, "Say, you ain't a lawyer or
you'd be talking, you ain't a doctor
'cause you got no satchel, and you
shore ain't a preacher from the looks
of you. - What is your profession any
how?" . ; ......
"I am a politician," replied Lorimer.
The Mary lander gave a snort of dis
gust. "Politics ain't no profession;
politics is a disorder."
Years ago when Mr. Lorimer was
working in the glue department of the
Armour company, at Chicago, the elder
Armour came down to the packing
house one morning at half past 6
o'clock. He walked through the glue
department and found Lorimer the
only man there. -
"Do you get down at this time every
morning?" asked Mr. Armour.
"Yes. sir." Lorimer replied, "when
you are in the city, sir."
It wasn't long before Lorimer had a
raise in pay.
TO WED IN SUFFRAGETTE CAR
Pair Will Show That "Equal Rights"
Are Not Home Disturber.
"Beautiful, accomplished, vivacious
and wealthy" is the description given
of the bride to be, while "tall and
handsome, rich and as a consequence
influential, brilliant and ardent devotee
of the cause" give an inkling of the re
puted qualifications of the bridegroom
in the case of the pair to be married
in the drawing room of a parlor car
attached to the special train in which
the advocates of equal rights will jour
ney across the state of Washington
June 29, says a Spokane dispatch.
"The names of the couple will re
main a ' secret" Mrs. May Arkwright
Hutton, head of the Spokane Suffrage
club, said, "until it is time to show
the world, instead of alienating women
from the fireside, the suffrage move
ment tends toward the creation of
home ties."
The suffragettes' train will have
among its passengers the Rev. Anna
Shaw and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt,
president of the International Woman
Suffrage alliance.
NOTED SPORT'S -SOBRIQUET.
How Charles E. Davies Came' to Be
Called "Parson."
Many years ago Charles E. Davies,
one of the best known sporting men
In the world, whose sobriquet of "Par
son" Davies was conferred upon him
by the late William n. Vanderbilt, was
managing Dan O'Leary when O'Leary
was -engaged in walking contests at
Madison Square Garden, New York.
On one occasion William H. Vander
bilt saw him in the arena and, strupk
by his appearance, turned to Ed Stokes
and asked:
"Who is that clean cut, well dressed
gentleman?"
"He," replied Stokes, "is a promi
nent Chicago sporting man."
"Why," said Vanderbilt. "he looks
more like a handsome parson."
A score of persons heard the remark,
and the name stuck to Davies.
China's Warning.
In a recent speech Sir Robert Hart
called attention to a remark made to
him years ago by the Chinese prime
minister.. Wen Hsiang: "You had bet
ter let ns sleep on. If you will awaken
us we'll go farther and faster than
you'll like."
Living on Air.
Dr. Bradbury announces that food in
appreciable quantities has been extracted
from the air. News Item.
Their long and faithful labors, scientific
men declare.
Prove time is coming when no more
we'll cultivate the ground.
They've analyzed the ether, and they've
fopnd that everywhere.
Although you may not see them, meals
for all mankind abound.
They took some sample ether which they
scanned with keenest eye
To see what was within it, and Imagine
their delight!
They saw the same resolve Itself into a
wedge of pie
And that a piece of creamy cheese was
sitting at Its right.
In air that stirred at early morn was evi
dence of steak.
Of eggs and steaming biscuits and a
mutton chop well done.
While breakfast food came floating in,
hot cakes upon Its wake,
And coffee, milk and sugar In abun
dance for each one. ....
Of fruits there were unnumbered Borts
from prune to velvet peach
And vegetables of every kind to bake or
boll or fry.
All these for centuries had lurked beyond
our human reach, -Because
we hadn't sense enough to pull
them from the sky.
We do not feel quite certain yet about
this novel claim.
Concerning meals In ether loose we en
tertain a doubt.
But if the scientists are right the next
move of the game .
Should be designed to teach us how to
get these cheap meals out.
