The one thing that make* crooked thing* straight, and straight things crooked. Tho most effective substitute for brains. A provider for everything but happi ness; a passport to everywhere but heaven. The New York Idea. _ Something that always gets the glad hand. Money Is the most difficult root to cultivate. Metal often manufactured from water" In Wall street. The best talking machine. That which women look for whllo men sleep. A curse to some that have It, and a curse to all that haven’t. The breath of business. Our private god. The antidote for poverty.

One of the strange experiences of a balloonist to that of falling Into "a hole In the air,” which Mr. Rolker reports follows; "So you continue sailing, enjoying the present with little thought of the startling surprises that may be before you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be what the balloonist calls a 'hole In the air,’ resembling the vortex of a mael strom, and down this you inay liter ally fall at a rate which le terrifying until, by sacrificing two or three bag fuls of sand at once, your pilot checks your downward flight But theae 'holes' are scarce, and, as a rule, the atmosphere la of uniform carrying power.”—American Magaalne.
