HI. I.ouls has . tha balloon fever. Th
natives ' are not particularly anxious to
levigate th air, but are enthusiastic for
experiment by others, hoping thereby to
gain Instruction from flyer on th fly.
burlng the week beginning October tl
e, there will-be a convocation of modern alr
' ships, dirigible balloon and plain balloon
In the city. . French. Qerraan; British.
Spanish and Italian airships will be there
Xo attempt to wrest the "Balloon Racing
Championship of th World" cup from the
Aero Club of America, th present holder.
Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. tinned State
army, who won th cup last year In
France, will be prepared to defend It, aided
by J. C. McCoy and A. R. TIawley of New
York City. No country I to be allowed to
have more than -three contestants In the
race. Each of the countries competing baa
made three entries. Th Italian entries,
however, wer received too late and have
been protested. Effort are " being made
to have the protest waived. Bhould this
be done, there will be eighteen competitor
In the race. Including the three entries of
the United State. Should, Jtowever, the
Aero club of France Insist on excluding
the Italians, there will be fifteen entries
sin the event.

In addition to the International contest,
the Aero club of St. Louis, which I ar
ranging for the balloon meet, -I giving
15,000 In prizes to be divided among the
winner 'In two competition,' one - for
dirigible balloons and the other one for

prises are awarded to the competitor
making the' longest or best continuous
flights, the oommlttee having the right In
making lis decision to consider the average
height attained, th dlBtanc, time and
general behavior of the vehicle, together
with it merit for general use.

Tho author of the mueh-talked-of
"Flashlight from the Jungle" declare that
In a few year equatorial East Africa will
be as devoid of elephant, lions, giraffe,
rhinoceroses and other Jungle big game
as the United State now Is.
During 'the ten years he spent In that
region th wild elephant dwindled from
thousand to tens. Mr. Schilling refer
to th case of the late Dr. Kolb, a German
who came out to British Cast Africa In
connection with a Utopian undertaking
called "Freeland," and who, when his po
litical scheme became Impossible, applied
himself to the reckless slaughter of the
big game of British Africa.
In the course of two or three year he
had slain, for no useful purpose whatever,
YJ) rhinoceroses (a companion killed 10
more), each on being a far more Interest
ing mammal than himself. At the end of
his career of slaughter a rhinoceros killed
him perhaps appropriately.
The Chapter entitled "The Mind of Ani
mals" contains some Interesting observa
tions. A young rhinoceros which the author
captured and forwarded to Berlin "attached
himself to me In a very few week and got
to distinguish quite cleany between the
large number of men who came Into touch
with him, bearing himself quite differently
with different Individuals, just as he still
singles ine out from all the thousands who
approach hint now In the gardens In Berlin.
'Many other animals In this distant black
country were to us a real source of en
joyment aod consolation. Take, for exam
ple, my young elephant, who loved me with
childlike simplicity, till I unfortunately
lost him for want of a foster mother; also
my tame baboon, who used to be almost
mad with joy when he saw me, a mere
speck on the horizon, returning to camp
from one of my excursion hi sight Is in
finitely keener than ours.
"From earliest times we have heard tell
of an unusually wise bird that our ances
tors nicknamed the "philosopher.' This Is
the marabou-stork, specimens of which I
have coma across whose wisdom and fond
ness for human companionship would
scarcely be credited. . y' ...
"Stork and marabous, which perhaps
have lived a man's lifetime or more in the
distant veldt, have attached themselves to
me In the friendliest manner, albeit caught
after many difficulties and by strategy. A
specimen, well on in years, which I brought
With ma to Berlin, still singles me put from
all other visitors by peculiar marks of af
fection.
"Of course. H mean a hard struggle and
it Is not easy to win the friendship of such
old and peculiarly - obstinate birds. For,
weeks and months one must feed, them by
force with pieces of meat before they make
up their minds to feed themselves.
"One must tend , them oneself, wait on
them ' constantly anfl occupy oneself with
thelf needs. Then 'one day, quite suddenly,
all mistrust and fear are overcome and
one la repaid a ..thousandfold for all his
trouble by making a genuine friend of the
bird.
"My marabous moved about in the camp
free and unrestrained. They built their
nests and did not try to fly away. They
greeted ma on my return with Joyful cack-
llnga; they planted themselves close to my
tent as sentinels and caressed me with
their powerful and dangerous bills. For a
long tlm my black cook had taken ' on
the duty of feeding them, and their af
fection for Xia was not at all the result
of my giving them dainties, but of my
Just and Intelligent conception of their
habits." National Geographic Uagaslne.

Interview.
A correspondent of the New York Sun,
who journey from Harlem rlvor to Salt
feck, for the purpose, sends to his paper,
under date of October I, this Unique re
port of an Interview with the peerless son
of Nebraska:
I reached Lincoln at 9 o'clock, and tak
ing a double mule team, a rig peculiar to
this part of the country, arrived at the
Bryan homestead shortly before noon. The
great leader was not in tho houae at the
time, but Mr. G. Wlnkdoddy Blinn, as
sistant war correspondent of the Com
moner, received me with great cordiality.
and After Inviting me to take a drink of
new mown milk, set out to help me to
find the peerlejs leader.
A Clnclnnatns Pose.
W. J. was leaning with one arm oh a
stile and the other resting affectionately
on the head of a young calf as we ap
proached, hi appearance still the same
a ever the samu familiar smile, the
same fedora hat, the same negligee hair.
But, somehow, there seemed to me to be
difference in the expression a faraway
look In the eye, a though, regardless of
his personal feelings, he was expecting
very moment to have his peaceful life
broken up by the intrusion of some bad
political messenger, with the demand that
he again lead the unterrllled democracy to
victory.
"So hera you are," said William, "fresh
from the great cities and rrom the buay
mart of men. How 1 Providence and
dear old New England, too, with her mills
and her factories, her mactoriea and her
fills? When I think of the tens of thou
sands of sturdy workers pouring out of
their homes all through your noble state
every morning I feel "
"W. J.," Interrupted Mr. Blinn, "you're
a-forgettln' of yourself."
"That Is true," aaid Mr. Bryan with a
sigh, "but once in a while the old dream
comes o'er me and I hear again the clash
ing battle of the snorting hoofs and the
bitter blackguardrles of the political plat
form."
"W want to know, Mr. Bryan," I aaid,
"whether you are a candidate for the
presidential nomination or not."
"My boy," replied Mr. Bryan, "I am not.
Look about you. Here to my left, extending
all the way to the top of yonder hill, Is
my goat farm, and Just beyond the crest
of the hill, where you see the chimneys
peeping over the Nebraska deodars, my
buttery.' Here to the right are 90,000 acres
of corn, the corn, the yellow corn within
whose golden heart there Is health and
strength for all the nations. I have only
to look across the way and see my com
fortable homestead, where the clattering
of the presses that produce the Commoner
mingles at eventide with the clamor of
the hens, for their - roost and the yodels
and chanties of my brave farm lads coming
borne after a hard day's work,
Haral Peace.
"Within this broad acreage are rest and
peace. I have fought the good fight twice.
I have written books about It. I have
lectured about it. I have dreamed about
It and I have been Interviewed about it
by the kings and emperors, czars, poten
tates,1 ohamberlatns ' and" chambermaids of
Europe. No. I have stifled my ambitions
and desire nothing now o much a that,
when I Anally give up th spade, the
hovel, the ho and the Commoner, they
will place on my monument the simple
words, 'Here lies William penning Bryan.
He was a fairly good farmer, and at rais
ing onions there wasn't his beat in the
whole state of Nebraska.' "

I said, "this will be a terrible

their minds that you will take them once

"Surely." said Mr. Bryan, ' Interrupting
me, "I heard a horse's hoof galloping just
now."
We alt listened Intently, but no further
sound came.
"Ah!" said the ex-candidate, "'twas a
hallucination. Sometimes, even In my sleep,

"And," said I, "If such a messenger were

Mr. Bryan paused and his lips quivered.
