Captain Lovelace Gets Photos of Norfolk While 4000 Feet Up in Balloon

NORFOLK, Va., April 20.- Captain T.T. Lovelace, who has an international reputation as n aeronaut and performer of dare-devil feats generally, made an ascension from Norfolk Gas Works with the intention of taking  some birds-eye views of the Jamestown Exposition, but owing to the strong wind he was blow in the wrong direction, landing at Virginia Beach after three hours flight.
As soon a the balloon was cut loose at the gas works it shot up to a height of 4000 feet. And Captain Lovelace brought his camera to bear on the city of Norfolk, and as he swung over the city took several pictures from different elevations. No trouble was experienced in the trip or in the landing at Virginia Beach, which was accomplished without damage to the persons in the balloon or to the balloon itself .
Captain Lovelace will make an ascension at the Exposition grounds on April [[?]], the opening day, and will take a series of photographs from the clouds of the opening ceremonies and assembled [[?]] in the harbor, and if they are as [[?]] as the Kingston earthquake pictures the hardy adventurer thhey will be a great success.

The Jamestown Exposition will far out-class the world's fair at St. Louis and at Milan in its aeronautical exhibit. In Europe and America there is now a considerable fleet of balloons driven by motors. Alberto Santos-Dumont has evolved a flying machine, heavier than air, which has carried him three hundred yards. Orville and Wilbur Wright have brought their aeroplane to a point where they have navigated it over stretches of twenty miles in wind or calm and at a speed of forty miles an hour.
All these air craft may be seen at the Jamestown Exposition. The ordinary drifting balloon is still the balloon of the sportsman and will receive much attention. Those who wish will have the opportunity to try limited flights in a captive balloon of an American aeronaut, Captain Baldwin. The winning of the James Gordon Bennett Cup by an American-

"The kidney fat of the bears, which was soft and oily, like lard, was used for frying doughnuts and for bread shortening, while the harder belly-fat was run up into candles for furnishing light for the house. 
"I have eaten hundreds of brown doughnuts that were fried in bear's grease. That grease today I could sell to the druggists for $5 a quart.
"As for the bearskins which we took off, they were rubbed on the fleshy side with powdered alum and salt and used for rugs to be used when taking long rides in cold weather. Nobody placed any value on the pelt of a bear then, for it was the meat we were after, and as the skin had to come off before we-
