These facts furnish but a small part of the whole

the investigations to which 1 have alluded that in
Hie years since 18C0 the reverse has actually
proven t 1 be the fact, by whatever s’andard t* s ed,
and the prices of food and clothing have been re

Professor Myers Makes a Sneer sful Ascent -
Interesting Bali »■ ning Facts,
After all there is no s : ght so thrilling as a
balloon leaving the cart'n and carrying" a hu
man being with it intoj the boundless sky. It
produces a sensation that is produced by no
other sight.
The ascension yesterday afternoon of Pro
ft ssor C. E. Myers, the distinguished aero
nautic engineer, in his mammoth air ship, was
asight which not one person in the vast throng
of " spectators will ever forget.
This balloon is one of the finest ever made. It
is also one of the largest. It is 22 feet in diame
ter, and when inflated contains GJXX) cubit feet
oi hydrogen. The material <.f which it is made
is sea island cotton, varnished by machinery.
This is far superior to.silk, and after receiving
nine coats of varnish is absolutely impervious
to’ hydrogen.
This air ship :: &com; aratix ely new one, but
it has borne aloft into the tilniy clouds and
through them into the char skies, Professor
Myers, and his daring companion, Carlotta.
In speaking about his voyage yesterday af
ternoon Professor Myers said to a reporter
last night: “1 have made inany trips in my
life, have soared skyward innumerable times,
but 1 can truthfully declare that in all my ex
perience I have never taken a more delightful
trip. 1 left terra lirma at precisely one minute
alter 5 o’clock. As the balloon rose it reached
out in a southeasterly direction. After reach
ing an altitude of some 2,000 feet it veered
round lo the east. When I was I.irx) feet in
the air tho thermometer xyas7s degrees. When
1 reached tho highest point—about 1; miles or
8/4M) feet, the thermometer was 68 degrees.
After leaving the earth, • until I reached e an
altitude of about 2,000 feet, 1 could sniff the
dust, but after passing that point
the atmosphere became pure. All of a sml
<l< n I plunged from one stratum into another.
The air was sweet, balmy and pure.”
“What were your sensations?”
“1 had no sensations. They who speak
about the thrilling sensations of an air voyage,
are either timid or foolish. 1 felt just* like
the ground was gradually lowering, not like 1
was rising, and I was just as calm and com
fortable as 1 am now.”
“What sort of a view did you get when go
imr up?”
“The most picturesque I ex er saw in my life.
It was simply sublime. 1 never saw anything
exactly like it The red earth and the green
foliage as they merged into one, making
a piece of tapestry like a green carpet xvith
strains of gold ami purple, form
ed a contra*t xvhich was inde
scribably rich and beautiful. Oh, how sorry I '
a:n that ! failed to carry my camera. I would
like to have a photograph of that scene. 1
would give one hundred dollars if I had made
some oi these views.”
“Have you ever taken photographs from a
baEoon ?”
“Why, yes, indeed. I have made several
hundred us them, some very line ones, too.”
“Well, tell ns about your trip, did any excit
ing incidents happen?”
“It depends upon what you call exciting in
cidents. If being shot at three times by a man
with a rifle is exciting, yes.”
“Rut were yon tired at ?”
“i was three times. It was near nightfall,
and 1 was slowly descending. I had been
calmed over a largo copse ami was’just emerg
ing into a clearing, win n bang! right below
me. 1 w«ui then about three-fourths of a mile
up. A second shot was tired, and the ball just
grazed my basket. Then a third.
I tell you it was a sort of
sport 1 did not relish. It may have
been fun for the ritlnwn, but it was not by any
im ans pleasant to me. One of the bullet j
might nave winged me or punctured my bal- |
leva When 1 reached the ground 1 landed in I
a iield of stubbio corn. My descent was ca y
and safe. 1 found that 1 had landed on the '
<l. i v 1 arm of Mr. Winship, about six miles i
from Atlanta. 1 lest no time in packing up :

•Have you anv idea why tho man shot at i
you ? He m .st have taken tiie monster lloat
n g in space for some wonderful bird.”
■ No; he didn’t. He aimed to hit mo. j
When I reached tho earth I was told by some •
ncgrws that they had witnessed the man's ac- i

put Mr. (’oster on him. C« -ter is tl.e best shot
in the stat • ( f Georgia and ecu shoot from a
balloon when floating two miles high with
great accuracy. If this man wants to light a
duel, just let him say so.”
Her adventures have been sowcnderful that
to recount them would make a thrilling chap
ter.
Said she: “I made my first voyage m a
‘ balloon at Little Falls, N. Y r ., on the 4th of
.July, 18*0, My first impression as I rose wes
what a set of faces' ami this impression grad
ually faded as tl.e immense crowd became one
mass of unrecognizable, surging human bil
lows. Everything became smaller and smaller,
as if treatcil with some patent process for
making dolls and playhouses of full grown
men and women and the largest edifices, while
the ground sank from under me and the hori
zon widened and expanded till J seemed just
over the center of a gigantic bowl, which, as I
sailed along ever built of new sides from the
bottom of the seeming concavity which con
tinually remained jn.st under me. As I drif
ted along in perfect peace, this gigantic speci
men of natural crockery changed its hues from
brick-red walls, white houses and sombre
roofs, to the emerald green of the fields and
forests, which later in autumn would stud the
earth with varegated colors of a mosaic of red,
ye] low and green leaves garnished the sur
face.”
The second day was one of instruction and
quiet enjoyment.
i he bicycle contests in the morning and the
horse races in the afternoon wore witnessed by
a throng of ladies and gentlemen from the
grand stand, while the band above them filled
the air with melody.
Tiie wind amt dust doubtless deterred many
from going out to the grounds, but the atten
dance was unexpectedly large.
The visitors were observant and intelligent
people who, taking advantage of the quietude
of the day, went out to study the object lessons
of the state's industrial progress and to ex
amine, unmolested, the riches spread out so
lavishly before them.
In all the departments the visitors were
thick from the opening to the close of tho
gates. Only words of praise were hi rd every
where. Everybody expressed surprise that so
much had been done within tho past twelve
hours. Exhibits which, when the gales closed
Monday evening, were in “admired disorder,”
had taken shape and comeliness. The im
provement is manifest in all the departments.
The exhibitors have spared no pains to make
their displays attractive.
Two trotting races completed the racing pro
gramme yesterday, and as each was a walk
over for the winner, there was a lack of inter
est.
The first was for gentlemen’s roadsters,
owners to drive to wagon for a purse of >l5O.
There were three starters, Muscatella, b. m.,
owned by W. A. Wilkins; Goblin, b. g., owned
by Walker, Cawley & Jones; Black Cloud,
Jr . blk. g., owned by W. A. Vernon. Musca
tella took the lead in each heat and was m ver
headed. Goblin could not keep his feet,de voting
most of his time to running. Black Cloud, Jr?
was distanced in the second heat.
The second race was a free-for-all for horses
owned in Georgia. There were five entries,
but only two starters, Miss Cawley, br. m.,
owned by Mclntosh & Anderson, ami Neta
Bine. b. m., owned by Fred Campbell. Miss
Cawley won the first heat very easily, evident
ly under a strong pull. When, after the ex
piration of the twenty minutes allowed, the
horses failed to appear for the second heat the
judges decided that they could not start, and
that the race should be declared
oIT. Mr. Anderson and his driver
made a strong plea, and after
consultation tho judges decided to allow the
race to go on, first imposing a $25 fine upon the
driver for the delay. In the third heat Miss
Cawley was driven out and made the mile in
2: 30, the fastest mile yet made on the grounds.
Ncta Pine was badly distanced, being almost
as far back as the quarter pole.
The judges are determined that there shall
be no delay in starting the horses, ami the rules
will bo. strictly enforced throughout.

At 7 o’clock tho rush began to be lively, and
at Bit was almost a continuous stream. Every
street ca.r camo loaded down, and the trains
averaged five hundred people to every fifteen
minutes. By 12 o'clock tl.e grounds were com
fortably filled and the buildings were crowded.
An unusual number of visitors was noticed.
They camo from ail ]»arts of tho country—
north and south, and were all delighted with the
exposition. Yesterday really showed li-.w
gieat the exposition was. The cattle building,
■with its Luu-hundred stalls, was overrun, ami
more cattle than can be found at an ordinary
fair was lied to trees throughout tho grounds.
Five car loads that arrived from South Caro
lina- splendid stock—were hardly able lo got
in the grounds.
Such a multitude of people as witnessed the
fireworks at the Piedmont park last night has
never before, perhaps, been massed together in
Atlanta.
Without exception, the pyrotechnic display
was the most gorgeous ever seen in the south",
and it is doubtful ii' any finer display has ever
been seen anywhere in the United States.
Governors and statesmen were wedged
again 4 l Georgia crackers, who came in swarms.
Ladies of high degree occupied seats with
those of lower stations. Tho mechanic and
the lawyer, the scholar and the hod-carrier,
the man of science and tho humble artisan,
the man of God and the set ptie. the good ami
the bad, the high, low, rich ami poor composed
one conglomerate mass of humanity. Never
was there a better behaved or happier crowd of
sight-seers.
A (ircle of red lights, extending half way
round the race course, were touched off, and
they illuminated tho entire grounds for about
two minutes, v. hen yellow lights touk their
places. Simultaneously with the lighting of
these air bombs were tired high into the air.
their detonations sounding like the noise of
cannon. All this was a preface of the fire
works proper.
The aerial display of fancy rockets, which
exploded when they reached an altitude of 800
feet with varying colors of red, green, purple,
yellow and blue. Their fiery gambols in the
skies caused the heavens to glow with light
and beauty.
The picture of a man and a woman sitting
on a see-saw, and the undulating movements
produced much merriment. It was one of tho
most successful pieces delineated.
Tho next feature w’asone Which caused tho
grandstand to tremble and the air to quiver
with cheers. The finger of flame delineated
with fidelity the features of Governor Gor
<L u and Mr. Henry W. Grady. Tho linea
ments were wrought in golden and red lines,
and as the features stood out in a speaking
likeness, the multitude could not contain itself.
To render tho moment more exciting the band
struck up “Dixie” and then the “Star Span
gled Banner.”
Such a scene lias seldom been witnessed
anywhere. This amazing exhibition simply
astounded the people who had never imag
ined that such a thing was possible.
rerhaps a still greater achievement than
this was the picture of “Jumbo” wrought in
bright co’urs. This was true to life, and was
d- - lared tu be the finest thing on the pro
gramme.
The mammoth wheel, with its millions of
stars, revolved as the band played a stirring
tune, and the people could not help yelling
with delight.
The display of liquid fire rockets was a pleas
ing feature.
I’ut how shall the greatest triumph of
all be fitly described? This was a large pic
ture of the new capitol when completed. At
first the smoke was so dense that the outlines
of the structure were indistinct. Soon, how
ever, tl.e smoky mists floated oil and left the
building stand ng uut in Md relief so that
every part could be distinctly seen. This was
gtaeraliy regarded as the best of all.
The concluding piece was a fitting one with
which to end the grand exhibition. ” This was
CvuUuued on Third 1 age.
To Assist ilatio
In restoring d: eased or wasted tissue Is
r.'.l tiiat any •.edieine can do. In pul
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron
chitis, and Consumption, tho mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells o£
tho lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. It is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
■an have uo opportunity to heal.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
Soothes and Heals
the inflamed membrane, arrests the
wasting process, an/, ' caves no injurious
results. This Is why it is mote highly
esteemed than any other pulmonary
specific.
L, D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt.,
writes: “Four years ago I took a se
vere cold, which was followed by a
terrible cough. I was very sick, and
confined to my bed about four months.
Sly physician finally said I was in con
sumption, and that he could not help
me. Cue of my neighbors advised me
to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so,
and before I had taken half a bottle was
able to go out. By tho time I had
finished the bottle I was well, and have
remained so ever since.”
Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills,
Me., wri >es : “ Six years ago I was a trav
eling sa «ssman, and at that time was
suffering t ith
L mg Trouble.
For months I was unable to rest nights.
I could seldom lie down, had frequent
choking spells, and was often com
pelled to seek the open air for relief.
I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral, which helped me. Its con
tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I
believe, saved my life.”
