FREE NAVY BALLOON RURDLES HOUSE TOPS lands In Baldwin After Unsuc- cessful Effort To Pick Winds Blowing To Canada. After skirting the tree tops and lowe tops in Hempstead with its das toye, a free balloon on Saturday hurdied patches of woods north of Baldwin, and finally descended near the residence of John Carl. In the a of the balloon were Lieut. L. A. Wor of New Orlcans and Lieut. Al- tert W. Evans of Pittsburgh. The balloon with a crew of four men flirted from the Rockaway naval avia~ thu station at midnight last Thurs- dr to pay a \fying\ visit to Canada, litenting to travel northwest over the gut lakes.

Justice Fawcett, on the appeal by the gas company, dissolved the original in- Junction granted by County Judge Lewis T. Smith. 'The injunction upholding the present rate will now remain in force pending the action of the Public Service Commission. The Sea Cliff and Glen Cove Gas Com- pany has renewed its application to the Public Service Commission for permis- ston to ralse its rates. The proposed in: crease is $1 minimum instead of 60 cents, and a raise from $1.50 to $2 per thousand feet. The gas company made a similar ap- plication to the commission about a month or more ago, but withdrew the application when strong opposition from its patrons developed. The gas company says that unless it can get more for its product it will have to withdraw from business.

These birds will be trap-nested and kept under uniform conditions for a period of three years. The first year will be a test for pullets, to determine their egg-laying ability and conomic pro- duction of eggs. 'The second year will be a test for these same birds as breed- Ing stock, to determine their egg pro- duction, the fertility and the hatcha- bility of their eggs and other factors that influence their breeding value. The third year will be a test for pullets rear- ed from these hens in their second year, to determine their value for economic eg production. contest offers the poultry raisers means whereby they can have their stock registered and know exactly the egg production and breeding value of their stock. 'There is a distinct need for lelat tests of hens from farm flocks, the egg production is to be improved and profit made from our hens.

Eskimos of Alaska perform their G@ancing feats to the sound' of \fom toms\ with round, flat heads and short handles. The heads of the Instr: lents are of seal hide, which the tis- tives molsten from time to time with a Sponge to keep tightened. They bent on the under side of the drum head with long, slender willow wands, little chips breaking off the sticks all the time and flying about. With a slow, monotonous chant at first, they gradually work themselves into & fron- gled shout and loud, resonant beating of the drums as the dance goes on. While they dance the men are stripped to the walst, but the wom wear their callco \Mother Hubbards,\ or denim parkes, with a gleaming halo of wolverine about the face. The dancitig ceremony begins with . a \muscle dance\ by a young boy, in which the men Inter Join, after which comes the \wolf dance,\ with more energy and loud shouting. .

The young otters-blind and downy -are born in a soft-lined nest under the shelter of an Inaccessible bank; the mother will at first hardly leave them, save on feverish rushes after the food necessary to keep up the sup- ply of milk. To guard them she sleeps, like many a human mother, with at least one ear awake. When they open their eyes she cautiously carries them to bask for a while in the winter sun- shine, for their birthdays are often in January, . When they can clamber she teaches them the woodcrafts of the Immediate vicinity ofthe \hover and then communicates many of the vifli- able lessons she has learned, some- fimés taking occasion to punish the unruly members of the family by bib Ing them. -__.

A device for protecting people from taking doses from poison bottles by mistrie is a sandpaper label. The ordinary label is pasted on m piece of sandpaper large enough to go all reund the bottle, so that when anyone tates up the bottle in the night, no matter how dazed from sleep he may be, the rough unfamiliar feel of the mandpaper rouses him and he recog- nizes at once that the bottle contains poison of some description, 'The printed label tells the kind of poison in the bottle.
