indicate that the balloon season has ar­
rived anil thut the aeronaut and para­
chutist is preparing for liis season's
work. However much romance thero
may appear in ballooning, it is nothing
le3s than a trade, and a difficult one, re­
quiring long years of training and expe­
rience for its mastery.
In the first place it differs from other
occupations in its constant excitement.
To the aeronaut each ascent means a
fresh danger, mid it is on this account,
perhaps, that comparatively few engage
in it.
Few peoplo who witness a balloon as­
cension comprehend its fascinations, ita
perils or it« methods, and only those
who have made tho trip into the clouds
can accurately describe its nccompany-
ing «ensatious. Professor Mortimer
MoKiiu, an aeronaut of experience, (.«vcs
it as tils opinion that tho aeronaut lives
a lifetime in the few brief moments of
liis voyage. To those interested in
aerial navigation a description of tho
airship is necessary. Tho material em­
ployed in tlio construction consists of
a superior quality of sheeting, tbo
breadths being stitched together firmly,
with tho edges felled. Tho average
balloon being 150 feet in circumference
and 75 feet in height requires 800 or
more yards of cloth. At the mouth of
the balloon a hoop tho size of a wagon
wheel and made of wood is attached to
keep the month open while tho hot nir
is being forced into it, and this orifice
remains open during ths ascension. Tho
inside of tho (ire balloon iscoaled with4»
sizing of glue, whiting, nlum and other
noncoinbustible«, as a precaution against
«(Mirks, which, with tho hot air. ariso
frequently to a height of thirty feet
during the inflation.
OnlK-ing relensod, iMMFloon rises at
first slowly until nt JRiit n height of
fifty feet, when ita velocity isc.t the rate
of forty-fivo miles an hour. At tho ex­
piration of two minutes tlio balloon has
attained an altitude of n mile and a
half; then it commences to sail with tho
air current which strike« it. This drift­
ing about continues for a period of four
minutes, when tho escaping hot air
causes a gradual shrinking of tho bal­
loon nnd its conMsjnont descent. Tho
nnique sensations of the aeronaut Ix-gin
with tho moment lie mounts tho trnpezo
liar attached to tho balloon. Grasping
the ropes, tho feeling is much like that
of lioing Minted in aswing. Fortho first
100 feet Niero is a realization of the
aHcent; object» below appear smaller and
smaller nntil gradually they fade from
view. At a height of 200 feet tho air,
nishing past with tremendous velocity,

of the car window of n limited expres«.

innr, nnd it is then that tho balloon

greens, that melt into purple and bronze
and crimson, with the sun dissolving
and overflowing upon their tops. Won­
derful tints, such as artist never dreamed
of. To comprehend color it is necessary
to have seen the magic canvases of the
clouds. The balloon sails on and drops
slowly away from this panorama, once
more into tlio colorle. .* atmosphere.
With the descent, earth appears to rise
and tho balloon to remain fixed; and
now the operator is occupied with one
idea, speculation as to where and how
ho will reach earth, for distance ¡3 in­
calculable and perspective a myth. Tlio
balloon is the sport of chance, and is
liable to deposit its passenger anywhere
from tlio lop of a church steeple to the
bottom of a ditch. Tho aeronaut takes
liis life in his own hands when ho ascends
with tho airship. Should it take firo,
burst in midair, or co>l off too suddenly
in striking a cold current, tho result is
collapse and disaster, for tliero is no
safety valve to tho firo balloon.
Tho aeronaut is invariably an enthu­
siast until ho moots with an accident,
after which discretion becomes tho bet­
ter part of his valor and lie is content to
rally substitutes for an ascension. Aftei
II few years he is apt to retire altogether
and leave toothers the hazardous occu­
pation. Up to a period of six years ago
there numbered but twenty aeronauts in
tlio country, and those were in great de­
mand nt county fairs, settlers and sol­
diers’ reunions and upon legal holidays,
rural celebrations being considered in­
complete without tho daring balloonist,
who, for the time being, was of more
importance than tho president and entire
senate, and, it may bo added, that no
occupation is more conducive to conceit
and self sufficiency than that of tho
aeronaut. There is less profit in tho
business now Ilian formerly; tho novelty
of tho ordinary balloon ascension no
longer exists for Americans. Realizing
this, nearly every aeronaut now makes
tho sensational parachnto descent.

SHEEP AND TARIFFS.
WOOL GROWING HAS NOT DECLINÈO
BECAUSE OF DUTIES ON WOOL
The Number of Sheep in the United States
¡las AKvay« invrvasvd When the Dutloit
Were Adequately Protective and D«-1
creased When They Were Not So.
The report of the majority of the com*
mitteo on ways and means in favor of
free wool, which was submitted to the
house of representatives on Feb. 20, is
about as able nil exposition of the Free-
trade side of the question as might have
bee n expected. With tlio parts of this
report whii h rehearse the well worn
argument that free wool and lower
duties on woolen goods will give cheaper
clothing to tho masses wo shall not now
concern ourselves; but the statement
that the protective duties levied on for­
eign wools have caused a decline in
sheep raising, as evidenced by the num*
her of sheep in tho United States at pres-
ent, is so glaring a misrepresentation
that it should not lio suffered to stand
long nncorreeted. The more fact that
tho number of sheep in certain sections
of the country was less in 1891 than it
was in 1808 is taken by these “reformers"
ns proof that Protection has injured onf
wool growing industry, and without giv*
in.* nny other (igures or other proof they
make tho broud assertion that sheep
raising lias declined in ull states oust of
the Mississippi river, and has increased
only in the western states, where free
pasture was obtained on the public lands
and where tho increase cannot thus be
attributed to the tariff.
Tho free wool advocutes do not give
the periods during which this decline
occurred, for that would bo fatal to tbeir
argument; lint they content themselves
with merely taking tlio two isolated
(fates, 18i!8 and 1891, separated by an in­
terval of twenty-three years, anil after
«hewing that the number of sheep in one
or two state« was less irt the latter than
in the former year, t hoy ask tho peoplo to
believe from this that wool growing ha»
declined because of Protection. If ever
there was n shallow argument invented
to deceive this is ofier ns will be seen

however, this im renso wait unnaturally

there would !><• a alight decline in 1891,

“refonnein" 1 i the elections of 1890
caused many wool growers to four that
tho new duties, the wisdom of which had
Li on already proved, would Is'alMilishcsl.
Within tho pad year tho growing favor
with which the McKinley bill i» regard­
ed Ims become so evident tlmt^onlidenco
in tho retention of the paqiyinidottea has
returned, mid er.limct* s for 1809 show an
increase of i .ore than 1.000.900 sheep
over the nnmbor in W91.
When it is ■ ■ n. there fore, that «hce|i
raising pro. ) » red greatly inp’er the high
protcctivo ditii'S from 1MU8 to 1884.
while it declined under the lower duties
from 1881 to 1890, tho dishonesty of
merely comparing the two year« li’B‘1
and 1891 i.i very evident. Again, if it
wero true thut the induatry imd thriven
only in tlio western state», where its
prorparity Camml Is; uOriimted tv tho
tariff, why ti it that the whole nntnber
of sheep in the l inleil Btaten (in nil sec­
tions) has always increased when tho
duties v. re udcipmtely protective, mid
hna diminished wiien they were not so?
This pi-iv s pretty conchvavely, wo
think, that whenever wool growing ha.*

been that th-:-» was u duty on foreign
