v French Editor Obtains First Hand Confessions as I to Perils Past. SOMEt A Tragic Half Minute. "I quickly closed the connecting tube and waited, wondering whether the motor would get started again. In those few seconds of passive waiting, while my aeroplane was proceeding on its long descent, I pricked up my ears, my nerves were all on the rack. I strained my eyes trying to pierce through the veil of clouds and see the earth My whole life passed in review before me It was a tragic half min ute "Triumpn! The motor has begun to work again, though in a hesitating fashion.

The fear of death came most vividly before the eyes of Garros when he was making his ascent of 5,000 meters, which broke the record for height. In stead of the quiet hum of the motor, he suddenly heard a fearful crackling sound He realized that his machine had lost its equilibrium and feared the worst. "Perspiration stood in beads on my forehead, and my heart began that cold, hard beating which shows better than any theory how simple in stinct can herald the real moment of danger. "Luckily I had the happy inspiration to switch off my sparking apparatus After some unnerving moments the motor came to a standstill. Then the question arose how to make that de scent of 5,000 meters, really an easier business than the ascent. Normandy is rich in good landing places. I went down as slowly as I possibly could, and absolute success crowned my ef forts." Gilbert's Terrible Danger. A similar accident occurring at a considerable height plunged Gilbert, well known for his magnificent nights, into terrible danger. It was in the course of a flight from Paris to Vitto ria without a break. He was some G.000 feet above the Pyrenees when suddenly his motor for some mys terious reason ceased working. "I had thirty seconds of life left to me in which to find out the reason of the stoppage and remedy it These awful thirty seconds did not seem long they seemed fearfully short Happily a very strong smell of ben zine arrested my attention. Like light ning the thought passed through my brain. 'It's the benzine!' "It was a case not of too little, but of too much. I had two reservoirs full of it on starting, but as I had flown from Paris without ever stopping, one of these was empty and my motor was now being fed from the second. I had left the connecting tube between the two reservoirs open, and the pressure of the air on the second reservoir had been too strong, bringing too copious a stream of it into the motor, which ac cordingly stopped from overrepletion 3 p?ww^^ AVIATORS' WORST HUTS AS TOLD BY MEN THEMSELVES i ,,i,? ,i,*i* GREAT POWER RESERVOIR. Capitalists Plan Forty Mile Lake to Feed Fox River, Wisconsin. Plans are on foot in Wisconsin to carry out the greatest water power reservoir project in America. A group of capitalists wants to dam up a chain of lakes in northern Langlade county, making a lake forty miles long, with a capacity of G.000,000,000 gallons, enough to maintain a steady flow of water in the Pox rUer for the entire year At present the river runs the great est chain of paper mills in the west during the six winter and spring months, but in the summer the river is nearly dry except for the govern ment channel for steamboats The capital back of the project is chiefly furnished by paper mill owners John I. Beggs of St. Louis, of the North American company, to whose foresight is credited the dam at Keo kuk, la., across the Mississippi, is in terested in the plan. The project includes the ownership of Post lake and a chain of smaller lakes, all of which will be under the control of the company and will be made practically one by damming of the lower outlet of the chain. Reduc tion of the cost of operations of paper mills by making the use of coal need less will be one of the many econo mies effected. Would Retire Wooden Cars. Representative Allen of Ohio has In troduced a bill in the bouse providing for the compulsory retirement from service of all wooden railroad coaches in five years. 20 per cent to be retired each year. Vivid Fear of Death That Visits All Bird Men Some Time. Rheims and Choumont. The weather was splendid, and his machine went grandly. But as he flew over the Marne he noticed a fishing boat, in which the fishermen were standing up and violently gesticulating. He supposed they were only signal ing their welcome, but when be had flown past them he began to get un easy about it, and then all of a sudden his machine stood almost stock still. Fell Nine Hundred Feet. "To this day 1 don't know what had happened. All I can remember is that I fell vertically 900 feetand a very long fall it seemed to beand while 1 was falling my eyes were continually fixed on the fishing boat behind me. The men in it were still standing up. and this timethere was no mistaking ittheir gestures expressed their fears of a disaster. The plunge downward was so fearful, the catastrophe so sud den, that I almost lost my senses. Not for a minute, it is true, but for a sec ond, the anguish of death took hold upon me. But at the last moment I managed to recover my equilibrium and continued my journey without further incident," The most terrible minutes ever pass ed through by Guillaux occurred in the course of his flight round by France, Belgium and Holland He had been flying the whole day long, and about 6 o'clock in the evening he found him self over the Zuyder Zee. Lost In the Air. A thick mist prevented his seeing the earth, but he calculated that an other thirty to forty milesthat is, an other half hour of flyingwould bring him to land. At the end of the half hour he went cautiously downward, but. to his horror, saw nothing but wa ter. He had lost his way! Night was coming on. His nerves and his pow ers of endurance were used up. "All this reduced me to a state of hopeless despair. It was real anguish, the anguish of a child in terror of the dark. At last, a little before 7 o'clock. I saw a dull, flat shore, and never have I greeted with greater joy the most beautiful scenes this world af fords." Bregi, the first to fly across Moroc co, had his worst time of all over there. His motor stopped working. There was scarcely any decent land ing place the only spot was a small plot of ground hedged in by a wall on one side with a precipice on the other. Like a rider reining in his horse, at the last moment of his glide he man aged to draw his machine away from the wall, which would have smashed it to pieces. Terror as Beginners. Alfred Leblanc and Gaubert say that their worst times came when they were beginning to learn, though Le blanc in one of his show flights in Eng land got down so near the spectators that he thought that every moment he was going to alight on the crowded stands Gaubert was in agony when he was making his first flight until, to his boundless astonishment, he realized that he was quite safe on the strange thing. Weyman had his most awful shock not in flying, but in seeing his comrade, Lieutenant Ducourneau, fall A few minutes before he had been fly ing on the very same machine. NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY. Compound to Destroy Taste of Alka loids Found by J. U. Lloyd. A diseo\erv which, it is said, will revolutionize the chemical and medi cal world has been perfected by John Un Lloyd, noted chemist and author of many works, among which is "Stringtown on the Pike." For many years Professor Lloyd has been working in physical and colloidal chemistry, and a little more than two years ago he discovered a compound which destroys the bitter taste of all alkaloids His discovery has been just announced by him. Alkaloids are constituents of plants, usually bitter and usually energetic. They are often poisonous, some being among the most poisonous bodies known. Among the alkaloids may be named strychnine, morphine, atropine, quinine, brucine, nicotine, caffeine, co caine, berberine, etc. The compounds of the alkaloids are very bitter and poisonous if the alka loids be poisonous. Professor Lloyd's newly discovered alkaloid compounds that are tasteless are made by combining alkaloid or its salt with a form of hydrous alumina silicate. These new compounds are tasteless, but yet, as shown by strych nine investigations, are as energetic as the ordinary alkaloid. Peach, Apple, One Twig. J. O. Grose, living near Fairland. Ind., brought a twig to Shelbyville a few days ago which he cut from a peach tree on the farm where he re sides bearing two peaches and an ap ple. The peaches are freestones, and the apple appears to be a Ben Davis. THE PllINCMfON UNiON: JoTte Farm Fireside, Qlemnlngs by Oar Country Correspondents. LONG SIDING. O. B.
