The statesman was delighted at her
girlish rapture. When a man of ma,
ture years stoops to admire a clever
girl of nineteen, his admiration has a
gentle protecting air, which ia very
,sweet to the recipient, and from sucha
man as Nestofrius, kindness was like
the n.otiee of a god. Stella felt as if
she were living in a new atmosphere,
balmy, reposeful. She felt herself lift.,

This balloon was constructed
Stuttgart, but for its trial trip was
taken to 3fanzell, near Eriedrionshay_
en, on the Leke of Constance. The
trial took plum§ on the lst of nuly
at 8.03 p.m., and. after a series of
evolutions by the experimenter land-
ed on' the lake near Immenstadt at
8.30 pea. Everything regarding con-
struction and. management proved
satisfactory, and the landing was
made tvith ease. Complete details of
this trial are not yet available, but
a few facts have. been reported, suffi-
cient to warrant a strong hope of ul-
timate success.
The balloon was towed- out of its
shed, after having been filled, and al-
lowed to ascend a few yards to test
its stability and equilibrium, and to
ascertain the propelling power; it was
then allowed to ascend about fifteen
yards, when it was released, carrying
up Count Zeppelin and four other
persons. It ascended slowy, to about
three hundred yards' elevation, trav-
elled. with the wind a short time, then,
obeying the steering apparatus, it de-
scribed a circle, remained. stationary
facing tbe wind, and finally dank
slowly to the water. All parts work-
ed satisfactorily and more extended
tests will probably soon be made.
Elsewhere, too, has there been ranch
activity in this field of investigation.
Baden-Powell, among his other works
of such varied character, has also in-
vented a flying raeohine. Great dif-
ficulty, it is said, was experienced in
getting it to the -set of war, as it
was not permitted to pass as per-
sonal baggage and could only be trans-
ported finally as e medical supplies."
It has been succeesfully used in pho-
togiaphbag from considera.ble heights,
and in connection with wireless tele-
graphy., the height to which it car -
ried the station enabling the US8 of
the Marconi system to be extended to
