Ralph Brandreth himself is but 23 years old, but he has traveled extensively, and while visiting Panama during the time that the secession occurred from the Republic of Colombia he ran across the Captain while the latter was in command of the gunboat Orienta, the flagship of the Panama Navy. For several weeks he was Capt. Lovelace's guest, and with unlimited time and means at his disposal he formulated the idea of making a long tour around the world, which should embody features that had never been attempted before. Mrs. Margaret Brandreth, his mother, who lives at Bellport, L. I., readily consented to the plan for the opportunities it presented for a liberal and practical education for a young man of leisure, and upon investigating Capt. Lovelace's qualifications for commanding such an expedition she immediately engaged him to take entire charge of the trip. Balloon a Necessity This was several months ago. Ralph Brandreth, although ignorant of aeronautics, appreciated the possibilities of balloons as an aid to the sightseeing enjoyments of South American countries and the South Sea Islands, and he stipulated that after the proper boat was found a balloon must be the next thing. The balloon Eagle was therefore purchased from Leo Stevens, and had it not been for the necessity of making an ascension so as to give the Captain a practical [[cutoff]]wledge of making ascents a[[cutoff]] [[cutoff]]ogistilla Second and Sir E[[cutoff]] Third in $10,000 Handicap.

(special Cable to the Central News and Pioneer Press.) Rome, Jan. 26 --After lengthy experi- ments, Signor Rafaele Rouco has con- structed a new kind of steerable balloon, which has given good results. The ap- paratus is composed of a small spherical balloon, a little more than three feet in diameter, and furnished with a special rudder and spiral line. The balloon is able to resist a contrary wind and to navigate against it. This resistance is obtained by a movement of the spiral line and not of the rudder, as is the case with most steerable balloons. PioneerPress StPaul 27 Jan 1907 IN BALLOONS, VIEW ECLIPSE. --- Astronomers Will Go Into Mid-Air to Study (Special Cable to the Central News and Pioneer Press.) St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.--There are to be four eclipses during 1907; two will be solar, one total and one annular, and two lunar, of which both will be partial. There will also be a transit of Mercury next November. The total eclipse of the sun was on Jan. 14, and was visible in Eastern Europe, in Northeast Africa and in Asia, with the exception of the eastern half of Siberia. The annular eclipse, on July 10, will be visible in South America and across the ocean as far as the southwestern coast of Africa. The transit of Mercury will be visible in Western Europe. A remarkable feature of the measures taken to secure the best astronomical re-sults from these eclipses is the extent to which balloons will be used. In all, there are to be about forty stations at which observations, meteorological and astron-omical, will be taken in mid-air. For me-teorological purposes, captive sounding balloons, equipped with automatic regis-tration apparatus, will suffice. At certain favorable points, however, astronomers and meteorologists will themselves go up in balloon cars equipped as observatories. Park Desphalch Stlorie 27 Jan 1907 It was announced on Wednesday at the instance of President Bishop of the Aero Club of America that an American prize, said to reach $200,000, will soon be forthcoming to encourage the "navigation of the air." At the same meeting of the Aero Club, St. Louis announced additional prizes for the coming in-ternational balloon contest in this city. Ohio is still making claims that it has the problem of the suc-cesful airship already solved and that its inventors will prove it to the satisfaction of the world, per-haps before the year [[cutoff]] Still another claim is that Poulsen, the Da[[cutoff]] [[cutoff]]be able to supply "wirless [[cutoff]] Doors and Windows Closed But Tracks Are Discovered --- NEW YORK, JAN 27.--Dr Charles W.
