IIP IN A BALLOON
FEDIIjS OF AERONAUTS AND
PARACHUTE JUMPERS.
Vo Trip Ever Made That la Not Aw
ful With Danger—How tho
World Looks From High
Above In the Clouds.
T this time every
year the managers
of county fairs and
circuses may be
sure that they will
receive letters with
gorgeous printed
headings, together
with lithographed
posters exhibiting
men and Women id
the act of plunging
ftom a height.
Those indicate that the balloon season
has nrrived and thnt the aeronaut and
parachutist is preparing for his season's
work.
Few people who witness a balloon
sscension comprehend ita fascinations,
Its perils or its methods, and only those
who have made tlio trip into the clouds
can accurately doscribe its accompanying
sensations. Professor Mortimer McKim,
an aeronaut of experience, gives it as
bin opinion that the aeronaut lives a life
time in the fow brief morrteiltB of his
voyage. To thoso interested in aerial
navigation, a description of the airship
is necessary. Tho material employed in
the construction consists of a superior
quality of sheeting, the breadths being
stitched together firmly, with tho edges
felled. The average balloou, being 150
feet in circumference and seventy-five
feet in height, requires eight, hundred or
more yards of cloth. At the mouth of
tho balloon a hoop the size of a wagon
wheel, and made of wood, is nttaohed to
keen the mouth open while the hot alt
is being forced into It, and this orifice
remains open during the ascension. The
inside of tho fire balloon is coated with
a sizing of glue, whiting, alum nnd
other non-combustibles, as a precaution
against sparks, which, with the hot air,
nriso frequently to a height of thirty
feet during the iufiution.
On being released, the balloon risai at
first slowly until at about u height of
tilty feet, when its velocity is at the rato
of forty-live miles an hour. At the ex
piration of two minutes tire Dalloon htts
attained an altitude of a mile and a half,
then it commences to sail with the air
current which strikes it. This drifting
about continues lor a period of four min-
ii'rs, when tlio escaping hot air causos a
gradual shrinking of tiro balloon nnd its
consequent descent. The unique soDsn-
tions of tho aeronaut begin with tho
moment lie mounts tiie trapeze bar at
tached to the balloon. Grasping the
ropes, tlio feeling is much like tlini <i(
being seated in a swing, For the first
100 feet there is a realization of tho as
cent; objects below appear smaller aud
smaller until gradrmlly they fade from
view. At a height of 200 feet iu tho air,
rushing past with tremendous vulocity,
gives one tho iniprossion of lcaulng out
of tiro car window of a limited oxprets,
the sounds of earth die away in a mur
mur, nnd it is then that tho balloon
teems stationary, the earth falling away
Irotn it.
Looking downward from tho height,
nil surfaces appunr level, mountains ami
mlloys are alike, and tho world looks aa
I spread out aud flattened by a '-oiling
jin. Ronds and rivers resolve them-
•elves into narrow ribbons, forests,
lelds and meadows are clumps of green,
-ed nnd black, with green as the dotnl
rant color. At two miles earth in lost to
7;ew, as in a fog. Presently the balloou
begins to sail, driven by au nir current.
There is now no apparent motion. Tire
teronuut experiences a feeling of oppres-
lion, the nir, deprived of its vital prin-
jipte, exhausts at each iuspirntiou; ring
ing rounds are heard iu cnre,aud one can,
to to speak, hear the stillness. The
breath comes in quick, suceesdve gasps
thnt do not satisfy the lungs. It is like
going to one's death.
Looking upward, the horizon is
bounded by tiie big black bait—the bal
loon—dark against the milky opaqueness
jf the atmosphere. The airship is sway
ing nnd swinging, while the clouds,
Smiling in a contrary direction, produce
> vague giddiness. There is, how
ever, no time for tremors. iteeond?
seem hours, the mind and memory
traveling with electric (light. Conjec
tures, recollections nnd retrospections
flash across tiie bewildered brain ns otio
reels through space. Suddenly the top
of the bnlioon comes in contact with a
cloud, there is a slight jar, and the next
instant all is enveloped in fog, from
which tho aeronaut emerges soaked with
spray. And now for the spectacle!
Subline, dazzling. Mountains of irides
cence, fleecy white clouds t’nged with
creamy pink, like the plumage of the
cockatoo. Swirling combinations of
color, blending and shifting as in a
gigantic bubble. Golden greens, that
melt into purple aud bronze and criarson,
with tho sun dissolving and overflowing
upon their tops. Wonderful tints, such
as artist never dreamed of. To compre
hend color it is necessary to have seen
the magic canvasses of the clouds. Tho
Aui1<*ou sails on an t drops stowiy awaj
trom this panorama once more into the
colorless atmosphere.
With the descent, earth appears to rise
end the balloou to remain fixed; aud uow
the operator is occupied with one idea—
' speculation as to where and how he will
reach earth, for distance is incalculable
and perspective a myth. The balloon'
is the sport of chance, aud is liable to
deposit its passeugor anywhere front thu
top of a church stooplo to the bottom of
a ditch. The aeronaut takes his life iu
his. own hands when lie ascends with tho
airship. Should it take tire, hurst in mid
air or cool of too suddenly in striking a
r i il current, tlje result is collapse aud
disaster, for there is no safety valve to
' an enthusi-
tbe tire naitoon.

pntiou. Up to a period of six years ago
there numbered but twanty aoronauts in
tliis country, nnd these were in great de
mand at county fairs, settlers' and
soldiers’ reunions and upon legal
holidays, rural celebrations be
ing considered incomplete without
the daring balloonist, who, for the time
pcing, was of more importance than tho
Presideut and entire Senate, aud it may
fto added that no occupation is more con
ducive to conceit and self sufficiency than
that of the aeronaut. There is less profit
iu tho busiuess now than formerly; the
povelty of the ordinary balloon ascension
po longet exists tor Americans. Realiz
ing this, nearly every aeronaut now makes
the seusationnl parachute doscent.
On reaching the desired altitude this is
effected by cutting the connecting rope.
There is a rapid fall, the resistance of tiie
jut forcing open the parachute, which is
nothing more than a ribless umbrella,
twenty-eight feut in diameter. Tho
{operator, on cutting loose, darts down-

Should tliis fail to oporato, dentil is in
evitable. Abrond the balloon is still an
attraction, aud especially in Mexico,
Australia and the West Indies. Pro-
lossor McKim, who has toured tho civil
ized world, is one of the few experienced
lieronuuts who find it difficult to aban
don tho profession, about which there
exists a fasciuatiou, even in tho danger.
[Taken all in all, it; is as great a game of
chance as ever played by a man, with

No Safe Is Safe.
Bob Pjnkerton, the great detective ol
New York, while iu Itidiauapolis, Ind., |
the other day took a look at the safe-
breaking tools that were captured a
couple of weeks ago from Waters snd
Watson, the noted crooks and burglars.
Pinkertou said that the ordinary safe of-
feted scarcely any resistance nt all to the
hperations of the professional cracksman.
“The doors of some of them almost fly
open wheu you look at them,” said ho,
"and I’m uot surprised that a burglar lias
no difficulty in opening an ordinary iron

• The Toad and the Centipede.
In the Court house yard there aro
quite a number o;' large, slcek-lookiug
toads. One of the-c toads was seen by
the loungers about tiie place eug&ged in
un earnest attempt to swallow something
thnt seemed to tax all his energies. A
closer examination revealed the fact that
the toad had seized a centipede by the
rear end and was slowly and placidly
stowing him away within his jaws, in
spite of the visions frantic efforts to es
cape. Nearly one-hnlf of the reptile had
disappeared, when the centipede, with
the tmenhumbered balance of his 100
feet,succeeded in getting a ground hold,
and with a desperate effort freed himself
Irom the jaws of the devourer, and was
moving rapidly away when the toad,
himlly realizing tiie situation, made a
jump snd again caught his victim. 'This
time, tiie centipede seemed to realize the
hopelessness of his situation and fran
tically turned to the right and left, each
time nipping his enemy severely upon
the lips and head, but all to uo purpose.
Tho toad would coolly brush away these
attacks, first with one foot, aud then
with the other, at! the time taking tho
centipede in, uttill at last nothing re
mained bu‘ thu toad calmly an i serenely
sei.tud upon his haunches, considering
the uextmove.—El Yaso (Texas) Herald.

facte of the case?.
Perhaps the readers of the Express are
hot ail of them fully familiar with the de
tails of thlf miraculous restoration to health
of a man who after weeks aud nloUths of
treatment by the most skillful doctors in
two of the best hospitals in the State of New
York—the Roosevelt Hospital in New York
City and St. Peter's Hospital in Albany—
was dismissed from each as incurable aud,
because the case was deemed incurable, the
tnan wus denied admission into several oth
ers to which application *as made in bin b*
ball’. The story as told by Mr. Quant him
self and published in the Albany Journal^ Is
as follows:
‘‘My name is Charle* A Quant, I am 37
years old; I was born iu tho village of Gal
way and excepting while traveling on busi
ness and a little while in Amsterdam, have
•pent my whole life here. Up to about eight
vears ago I had novur been sick and was
then in perfect health. I was fully six feet
tall, weighed 180 pounds and was very
strong. For 12 years was traveling sales
man Tor a piano aud organ compen v, aud
had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of
heavy lifting, got iuv meals Ve^y irregularly
End slept in enough htpat’e beds’ in coun
try houses to freeze an ordinary man to
death, or at least give him the rheuma
tism. About eight years ago I began to
feel distress in my stomach, and com-ultei
several doctors about it. They all said it
was dyspepsia, ami for dyspepsia I was
treated by various doctors in different
places, and took ail the patent medicines I
could hear of Hint ciamie I to lioa edro fot*
dyspepsia. But 1 continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then I began
to have pain in my back and legs and be
came conscious that my legs were getting
weak and my step unsteady, and then T
staggered when I walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of patent medicines,
and feeling that I *vas constantly growing
worse, I fcnen, upon advice, l>egan tno use of
electric belts,pads and all the many different
kinds of electric appliances I could hoar of,
and spent hundreds of dollars lor them, but
they did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant
showed the Journal reporter nn electric suit
of underwear, for which be paid $134.? In
the fail of 1888 the doctors a-1 vised a c tange
of climate, so I went to Atlanta, On., and
acted as ugent for the Estey Organ Com
pany. While there I took a thorough elec
tric treatment, but it only s »emed to aggra
vate my disease, and the only relief l could
get from the sharp and distreesing pains was
to take morphine. The pain was so in
tense at times that it seemed as though 1
could not stand it, and I almost longed for
death as the only certain relief. In {Septem
ber of 1888 my logs gave out entirely nnd my
left eve was drawn to mio side, so that I had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble ho
affected my whole nervous system that 1
bad to give up business. Theu l returned to
New York ami went to the Roosevelt Hos
pital, where for four months l was tainted
oy specialists and they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxiu and incurable. After I
had been under treatment by Prof. Rtarr
and Dr. Ware for four months, they told me
they had done ail they could for me. Then
I went to the New York Hospital on Fif
teenth street, where, upon examination.they
said I was incurable aud would not tako ms
In. At the Presbyterian Hospital they ex
amined me and told me the same thing, tn
March, 1890. I was taken to 8t. Peter’s Hos
pital in Albany, where Prof. H. If. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for tneaud that she
had better take me back homo and save my
inouey. But 1 wanted to make a trial of
Prof. Hun’s famous skill and l remained
un-ler his treatment, for nine weeks, but se
cured no benefit-. All this time I hn 1 been
growing worse. I had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down an l had
partly lost control of my hands. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re
tain food, and I fell away to K’O pounds.
In the Albany Hospital tliny put seventeen
big burns ou my back om* dav with re \ hot
irons,and after a few- days they put fourteen
mote burns on and treated me with elec
tricity, but l got worse rather than better;
lost control of my bowels and water, and,
upon' advice of the doctor, who said
there was no hope for me, l was brought
home, where it was thought that death would
soon come to relieve me of my sufferings.
Last {September, while in tins helpless und
suffering condition, a friend of mine in
Hamilton, Ont., called uiy attention to the
statement of one John Marshall, whose case
had been similar to my own, anil who had
been cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People. In thiscaseMr- Mur
shall, who is a prominent member of the
Royal Templars of temperance, bad, after
four years of constant treatment by the
most ‘eminent Cauadian physicians, been
prouounced incurable, and paid the $1000
total disability claim allowed by the order in
such cases. Some months after Mr. Mar
shall began a course of treatment with Dr.
Williams Pink Pills, and after taking some
15 boxes was fully restored to health. I
thought I would try them, and my wife sent
for two boxes of the pills, an i I took them
accor line to the directions on the wrapper
on each 1k»x. For the first few days the
cold ivaths were pretty severe as I was so
very weak, but I continued to follow in
structions as to taking the pills aud the
treatment, and even before I had used up
the two boxes of the pills 1 began to feel
beneficial results from them. My pains wore
not so bad. I felt warmer; my head felt
better; my food began to relish and agree
with me; 1 could straighten up; tne feeling
began to come back into my limbs; 1 be
gan to bo able to get about on crutches;
my eye came back again as good as ever,
aud now. after the use of eight boxes of the
Dills, at a costofonlv $4.00—seel—loan with
the help of acaneoniy, walk nil nooutthe
house and yard, can saw wood, an 1 on pleas
ant days l walk down town. My stomach
trouble is gone; I h ive gaino l in pounds; I
feel like a new man, an l when the spring
opens I expect to b * able to renew my organ
and piano agency. I cannot speak in too
high terms ot Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, as I know they saved my life
alter all the doctors had given me up as in
curable.”
Such is the won lerful story which the Ex
press reporter h usueoeo led in securing ver
ideation of iu nil its details, from tho hos
pital records where Mr. Quant was treated
and from the doctors who ha i the case iu
hand and who pronounced him incurable.
Let il tie remembered that all this hospital
treatment was two aud three years ago,
while his cure, by th* rtss ot Dr. wmtarns'
Pink Pills (or Pals People, has been effected
siDce last September, 1891. Bo it Is beyond
a doubt evident thnt his recovery Is wholly
due to tho use of these famous pills which
have been found to ha*e mmdesuch remark
able cures in tbit end other cases.

22 West Twenty-eighth 8t., New York dtf.
Dr Start* is house physician of tfte Roose
velt hospital, sitffated corntr of Ninth
avenue and Fiffcv-ifinth streot. In reply to
inquiry he said he remember*! the case of
Mr. Quant very well, and treated Him some,
but that he was chiefly treated an ! Uddff
the more especial care of Dr. Ware. He
said he regarded this cA«*e aa he did all cases
of locomotor ataxia aa incurable. In order
that, our reporter might get a ccrOY of the
history of the case of Mr. Quant from the
hospital record he very courteously gave him
a letter of which the following is a copy: —
Dr M. A. btarr, 23 West Forty eighth
Itreet, office hours, 9 to 12 a. m., New York,
Match #lst, l§9L~»Dear Dr. Voughts If you
have ady record Of a loootriotor ataxia by
bame of Quanta who Bays he came to the
f linicS or 4 years ago* No. 14*087, of the O.
). Dept., Roosevelt; sent to me from Ware,
will you let the l*drer know. If you have
no record send him to Roosevelt Hoip.
Yours, WtaRr.
By means of this letter access to the reO-
ordn was permitted and a transcript of the
history of Mr. Quant’s case made from them
as follows;
“No. 14sOS7. Admitted September 10th,
1889, Charles A. Quant, aged34 year*. Born
V. 8. Married. Hoboken.’*
“History of the case:—Dyspepsia for past
fetir or fire year* A bout 14 months’ partial
loss of power und numbness in lower ex
tremlties. Girdling sensation about abdo
men. (November 29th, 1889, not improve i.
external strobisinus of left eye and dflata
tion of the loft eye.) Home difficulty in pass
ing water at times; no headache but some
dizz rtess: alternate diarrhoea ani comtipa
tion; partial ptc/slfl past two weeks in left
eye.
“Ord. R. F. Bi pep. and So la.”
Those are the market symptoms of a
severe cose of locomotor ataxia. “And Dr.
Htarr said a case with such marked aymp
toms could not be cured and Quant, who was
receiving treatment in the out-patient de
partment, was given up as incurable.”
“There never wa* a case recovered in th*
world *’ said Dr. Htarr. Art 1 then said.
“Dr Ware can tel! you more abotlt tliecass
as Quant was under his more personal treat
ment. I am surprised, he sail “that, the
man is aliVfej as ) thought he must be dead
long ago.”
Our reporter found Dr. Edtfftrd Ware at
his office, No. 162 West Ninety third street,
New York. He said: “I have very distinct
recollections of the Quant case, ft was a
very pronounced case, i treated him about
eight months. This was in the early sum
mer of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and
thought him dead before now. Imagine my
surprise when I received a letter from him
about two weeks ago telling me that he wan
alive, was getting Well and es|»ecte I soon to
be fully recovered.”
“What do you think, doctor, was tho
cause of his recovery.”
“That is more than I know. Quant says
he has been taking some »ortof pills and that
they have cured nim. At. all events, J am
glad the poor fellow is getting well, for his
wan a bad case and ho w as a great sufferer.”
Dr. Theodore R. Tuttle, of 8l9 West
Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is
indebted for assisting courtesies, said of
locomotor ataxia; “l havo had several
cases of this disease (n the course of my
practice. I will not say that it is incurable,
but I never kuew of a case to get well; but I
will say it is not deemed curable by any
remedies known to the medical profession/’
After this successful nod confirmatory ia
veetigation In New York, our reporter,
Haturday, April 2d, 1893, visited St. Peter’s
Hospital, in Albany, corner of Albany and
Ferry streets. He had a courteous reception
by Sister Mary Pbiloinena, the sister
superior of 8t. Peter’s Hospital, and when
told of the object of his visit, sai 1 she remem
bered the case of poor Mr. Qmiit very dis
tinctly. Said she: “It was a very distress
ing caw? and excited my sympathies much.
Poor fellow, he couldn’t be cured and had to
go home in a terrible condition of helpl jm-
ness and suffering. ’ The house physician,on
consulting the record8of 81. Peter s Hospital,
said ho found only that Charles A. Quant
entered the hospital March 14lh, 189d, was
treated by Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Dr.
Van Derveer, who was then. 1890, at the
head of the hospital, and that nis case being
deemed uot possible of cure, he left the
hospital and wan taken to his hom*, as he
supposed to die.
Hiich is the full history of this moat re
markable case of successful recovery from a
heretofore supposed incurable disease, and
after all the doctors bad given him up, by
the simple use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
• or Pale People. Truly it ta an interesting
story of a most miraculous cureof a dreadful
disease by the simple use of this popular
remedv.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense in which that term is
generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used iu general
practice for many years before being offered
to the public generally They contain in a
condensed form ail the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un-
fai ing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis. 8t- Vitus dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effects of la grippe,
palpitation of Hie heart, pale and sallow
complexions, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all diseases
depending upon vitiated humors in the blood,
such a6 scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also a specific for troublej peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irregulari
ties and all torms of weakness They build
up the blood and restore the glow' of health
to pale or sallow cheeks. In tne case of men
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, over-work or excesses of
whatevei nature
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, Brockvilla,
Ontario, and Morristown, N. Y., and are
sold in boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail trom Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold makes
a course of ti er tment comparatively inex
pensive as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment. ^

Yalne of Oranges as Food. 1
The value of oranges ns an article of
food ia well known. “I buy them by:
tho box,” saya a mother, “and let my
children cat them constantly in lieu of,
candy or other prixei children’s dainties^
^consider that I save money by it.” At
acme at the inebriate asylums oranges
have proved an efficient substitute for
jalcohol, patients sucking the juice of
them abundantly every time thirst for
liquor comes upon them. This fact in
jo well recognized that often at temper
ance coffee etnods piles of luacioui
oranges are also kept. And now an
other benefit is alleged for them. Some
.famous French beauties of formei days/
it is asserted,secured and preserved their
marvelous complexions by a free diet of.
oranges. One in particular lived almost
entirely upon the fruit. A dozen each
at breakfast and luucheon made up these
repasts; at dinner a dozen more, with a
crust of bread and one gla« of burgundy.
Doubtless an orange fad is threatening—
for the pursuit of a complexion is a very
absorbing one to women.——Mexico City

Catarrh—Remove the Cause.
I was afflicted from infancy with Catarrh, and for ten years with eruptions on my face.
I was attended by the best physiciaus, and used a number of Blood remedies with no per

I was the victim of the worst case of Catarrh that I ever heard of. I was entirely
