Cbe New Balloon Craze and Its Hime

T HE sad fate of the French I naut and sculptor, Paul No<S quet. who lost bis life on the shore of Long Island recently, baa not discouraged the aeronautic enthuslasts of the Aero Club of America '.n their efforta to popularlxe the science of navigation of the air. At the very time that NocqueL after landing successfully from bis balloon upon tbs beach of a small Island, was pushing bis way through marshes, swimming creeks and dragging bis weary body through deep mud and sand, lured on ay tbe lights cf a distant village, bis friend. Count Henri de la Vanlx. was giving an Illustrated lecture on ballooning before tb^ member* of the Automobile Clob of America at Ita Clubhouse In New York city. Those who listened to the count's graphic descriptions of bis many voyages in tbs sir and admired the stereoptlcoo views of his trips over the Mediterranean the English channel little thought that the young artist who bad taken np aeronautics with such enthusiasm was even then making a vain bhttle for his lift When the body of Nocquet waa found lying In tbs-mud and ooxa where he had fallen from exhaustion In seeking to make his way to human habitations. the comment of his friends was that bis death was needless, that he had made a successful landing from his balloon and would hare been alive still had be laid himself down to sleep In his basket and proceeded to the mainland In the morning The task of crossing the marshes sod creeks that lay between the ocean and mainland too much for bis strength. Count de la Vaulx declared that Nocquet waa a novice In ballooning, that hi* trip was taken agglnst the adj|g« of the Aero dob and that hia bal was a primitive affair. There have several ascensions under the “ spices of the dub. hut this was not one of them. The Aero dub waa organ Lied last autumn as an offaboot of the Automobile Club of America and la chiefly composed of men who have been prominent as antomoblllsts and taka an Interest ax amateura In ballooning. Count de la Vanlx came.to this country with the view of giving It* members the benefit of bia extensive experience In aeronautics. He looks forward to the time when Bailing through or- above the clouds will take Its place beside
