He was the very first with tile. ddlea. Then, during 'thirty years spent in regular and constant flying he became the world% Most famous aeronaut, an holder of almost all the records. But he never Mopped telling people and trying to raise money for a bal- loon hop to Europe. His claims were based on .two original tlheoriea-his many Sights codtrineed him North Atlantic air, currents .prevailed regu- larly from west to east; a balloon could remain aloft for 50 hours, the time estimated for the passage. Ile was right on both counts, but. he was always cheated of the chance to add the happy ending to his life's stoly. Hi was an old man with a white beard when his first real shot at the goal came in 1873. The whole world knew him then. Everyone remem- bered that St. Louis -New York non- stop balloon alight he had made in 1859. Nearly 1,200 miles in twenty. hours:! axes of people took the trou- ble to look tip Liverpood packet re- cords and found something in W4se's: theories. It was crazy perhaps, butt if anyone could do it, Wise was the man. Even the United "Slates. Gov- ernment agreed and gave its official backing by allowing him the use of the Brooklyn -Navy Yard to construct a balloon which towered 180 feet When inflated. "A daring aerial voyage from New York to Europe," read the announce- ments. New Yorkers forgot suds de- tails as the -grafting Boss Tweed, and even the Pante of .1873. "Every thorsecar that passed the Capitoline Grounds in Brooklyn, re- ported the New York ,Times on one of the tune-up days for the flight, "de - Posited a large portion of its human freight and the multitude of sight- seers swelled to many thousands." But this happened every day for tree weeks, while the daring. aero- nauts apologized and publicly an- nounced they waited only for favor- able word from the Weather Bureau. Everyone, including the Times, began getting more than a little bored and finally that paper reported bbd same multitudes now exhibiting "a remark- able patience in staring at vacant air." But as the multitude paid fifty cents a heads for this spectacle„ against Wise's earnest protests -the backers of the flight felt little con- cern about a temporarily bad press. Besides the co-operation of the government, the financial backing of the flight came principally from the Daily Graphic, a post -Civil War, daily thattried for a few years to con- vine New York City that it needed a newspaper, half -standard size, plea BACKACHES: GU Another We gilds Long Siege of` tulle Te right rereelly_oftea era ue draggy bade aches, dizzy headaches, so surely thatfolks are) astonished, Mrs. Sat.

The whdte•haired aeronaut was a Pennsylvania Dutchman. Many of his inventions are still used onebal- loone, as are tricks of technique ae perfected. He was born in Lancas- ter, Pennsylvania, a year after Robt. Fulton had built hiss first steamboat, but 23 years after man had flown the English Channel.

Hili bag buret one day ands the leaped to safety in a crude para- chute he had built. Everybody talk- ed about it, but Wise landed and more or less forgot about the whole matter. When the Mexicans War came along he was the coun4ry'e greatest flyer and he dropped] his transatlantic money -raising program to offer his services to Major-General Winfield Scott, reminding the commander of the American army that Napoleon had thought enough of military aviation to start a flying school. General Scott in turn reminded? Wise about the no- torious inability to direct a balloon's flight. The areonaut replied, that he 'had in mind a balloon anchored by a Iong cable which would drift over the besieged .Vera. Cruz, drop bombs and be pulled back awl used another. day. Scott said that nobody had ev- er heard of a -captive balloon, so that idea hazy to -wait Dor another war. Wise. returned to routine flying and then one day took inventory. Some sort of spectacular flight was needed; something that would prove the de- pendability of balloons for long flight and at the same time bring game that could be converted into cash to fin- ance his hop to Europe. He did' it.

Finanetel backing fest the greet ad- venture of hie life was nearly in his grasp but then+, . with a snonotony that met have been pretty Qiresomie, an- other nother war ciente along. It was the Civ- il War, and Secretary of War Cam- eron sent for him and United States ilirtary aviation was founded; This fouueddng was hardly in a blaze of glory. Wise was told to have his balloon in readianess as It looked as 'tahottiglh a battle might be - fought any, iiitty at 13ull Run. He. found{ his bag, could be inflated only at Washington and op the eve of the opening battle a detachment of Union soldiers had a lest and dusty time towing the swollen wobbly bag across tth+e Potomac, along choked and dusty reads, over trees, railroad bridges and telegraph wires. Soon the sullen tame der of cannon brought flue 'Message of battle. With a last despegate rush the detachment broughf thdd bag to the battlefield wherean unseen branch' collapsed +the balloon with a-,4horrid, hissing sound directly in the yard of the house used as headquarters by General McDowell, Union command- er. Soon after, Wise' quit the army in' disgust when his request for portable inflating equlpmlee t, to cost 37,000, was turned down Try a non -air -minded general staff. Wise returned to civilian aviation. By 1572 he had more than live ]turn d.red flights to his credit and many thousand hours "flying time. But he was 64 and time was growing short for great adventures. Boston supplied the ne' rest -as yet -ahewer to hie problem In 1872 :+ig civic celebrations were p1i,a_+ed for the. Fourth of July. Wise hurriedl there and told them a most spectacu- lar emphasis could be given their civic shindig if it featured hos take- off for Europe. His ballyhoo idea re- ceived official cheers and he was guaranteed funds for .a take -off on July 4, 1872. First be drew his plans for a bag to hold 600,000 cubic feet of gas. This bag set a record for size not equal - tett until Commander Settle, U. S. N., built one of exactly the same dtmenn sioce to make his stratosphere flight backed by the Chicago World's Fair a few years ago. But Boston suffered a disastrous fire that year and offi- cial aid was 9� t�hdrawn, n: It was thethe Goodeells, as an- other stunt to get New Yorkers to read their tabloid newbpapers,' step- ped do and invited] Wise to come to New York and make his attempt with their backing. He came to New York early in 1873 with the official bless- ings of the United States Govern- ment. In a sail loft of the Brooklyn Navy:, Yard, work began on the balloons -•to bo the largest the world had ever seen. With Its basket -divided into two decks and a lifeboat suspended? beneath Ghat -bile whole structure rose 180 feet when inflated. Besides the main bag holding 600,000 feet, there was attached a smaller, goitre - like ba'lloonet to carry reserve gas which was to replace gas lost from the main bag in -reeving. The latest scientific equipment and navigating devices were obtained, with the Good - sells particularly proud to pnoeiaim the newest and most perfect signal- ling apparatus. This consisted of two carrier pigeons who pointly:'held the championship of the United :States. Wise's dream looked rosy. In addi- tion to the Graplii4c backing, some Philadelphia publishers promised 34,- 000 for a book to be written about the flight. The whole :project was to cost ,315,000 and in addithote, ,to the two principal backers, Wise thought up some commercial tie-ups to help meet the bill. One of bh•ese'was with the Domes- tic Sewing Machine Co. A huge ban- tier anher across Broadway published Wise's; testimonial that thesesewing ma- chines were used exclusively in mak- ing the balloon. But almost as soon as the gigantic' bag was finished at the Navy Yard, sponsor trouble began. The Goodaells insisted on draining back the last bit of ballyhoo and everything was moved to Brooklyn's Capitoline Grounds, ad- mission, dmission fifty cents. Wise fought this in vain, and in a recently discovered letter, wrote to his Philadelphia book publisher; "It is the most trying time of my 'life. A whole season of hope and exertion to be hung on a mounte- bank proposition. Read the Graphic to -day. Ground and lofty tumbling in. the Graphic show for four days and four niglhts. Balloonacies served up at the counter to suit taste." Every day meant another battle, hut Wise hung on. Wise insisted on the Navy Yard; as the only place for the take -off. The take -off was .the most critical moment. There was a dangerous fringe of trees around the Capitoline Grounds and with their great load of 14,000 pounds', getting off the ground held more /dangers than the stony North Atlantic. "Once over the roof -tops and bur worries are over," he told the Good- sells, oodsells, trying to get them back to the Navy Yard. Their reply was to throw hie son out of the park and continue sellar g tickets. Then one day .late in September, among. the throng pawing the delicate navigating and !scientific apparatus', Wise spotted Daniel Frohmah, - a young newspaperman on the Graphic. He told him the Goodsell] moat know that their commercial anxiety was threatening the s'oundnese of the bal- loon. First, he explained to Freshman because of the haste to place the bag on exhibition, the cotton used in its manufacture had not had enough time to dry after being oiled and t ' flatbed. The bag was east -tight but probably not strong enough. Then too, it was being exposed too much. before properly dry and the tarred. marline netting, instead of the more eitpene4Ve flat -Word he had ordered, i id& chafe . the bag dangeroutlY, The Ooodttell8 did !nothing about this except to ditniftish Wise's impor- tance In the night' by' trying to iirgnn6 ire their own, crew for the hop: See- ing his dgdal to tantalizingly clear, Wjs'e euit6rett these haiite{Idatiotts but re:f~uh'ed: to withdraw &ern the flight; lt, bxitlaliry, . witb relations between the batlltera slid thus dyer seat yr a the, '14$14`eaklitg• libitit, 4he ltid Mt* '� it W e tli r Eth rears ndiitl' '0,11, *oft out 'd tke'!f.

He told them the danger could be averted -as he later said: "It wanted nothing but au adjustment of the position of the balloon by a trimming of the guy ropes." IAd words lot to harder omit and Wise heatedly resigned from the flight. Re added as he left: "You cannot get cat balloon up without me." As the walked slowly away, the Goodsell] poured in more gee and mold more tickets. Wise had not gone three blocks Viten he heard a tre- mendous rip and a roar. The, balloon had dburst. It was a little 'late 4n Ihife to start' all over again. To his Philadelphia friends be wrote the same day, tell- ing them the -would be at their office the following Tuesday, "ready for anything of.,e, pnaetical nature the line of my pnofestsdon." He never dreamed brow m +ch his practical nature helped of 3 ., s. Still usizig his tricks, Command: Rosen- dahl was able to save a = . 3 re of eves when 'tape United S : tes Navy Shenandoah split in , 3 . , during a thunderstorm over Ohio. With part of the crew in the after portion of the whip, Rosendahl landed safely by free -ballooning the atera section, us- ing matter -of Wise's tricks. In the same way; when engine trouble made the Graf, Zeppelin a "free balloon" over the Allende, Eckener was able to use these same alas and return to land safely. Many transatlantic flights have since proved Wise was right when he said air current ran prevailingly east- ward. And many years after Wine's tragic failure, a balloon, broke all en- durance records by staying aloft 72 hours. Wise had claimed, he needed to rdinain aloft only 50 hours to teach Europe, a likely speculation when his 1,200 miles in 20 hours are camsidcr- ed. But after his New York disaster the old man had nothing to do but re- turn to that "anything of a Practical nature" in the line of this profession. In 1879 he made a routine flight from St. Louis and an Illinois farmer wav- . ed him a greeting as the balloon drifted toward Lake Michigan. He was never seen again. -(John Parkers in Coronet).

Then .it OM take more fuel than with "Pring brooding. But there is mea time for looking after the chicks; there, may be less disease and; mortality ; broilers wi•11' catobi a high market and pulletsshould be laying early in the fall or even in late summer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all th.elr chicks in January the higher prices for broilers and eggs would be wiped, out, and ohicke 7batcafed'.-at some other season' would find the best market. Broader hooses unsuit• - ed for prolonged zero weather and the higher price for clicks will limit the number going in for January chicks. Nevertheless eh:ere should be good returns far the few who do, and they can prolong the use of ?their equipment, as ,those who have' Janu- ary chicks usually have another batch: in the spring so as to have pullets coming into ,production at different' seasons.
