T. Main of Grinnell and Adelaide Thurston Charming Fibber Adelaide Thurston, with a new play by a new author and under a new management, will be the welcome attraction at the Coldren on Saturday. The play ia "Miss Ananias," the author Catherine Shisholm Gushing, and the managers, who are new only as far as Miss Thurston is concerned, are Messrs. Cohan and Harris. "Miss Ananias" is a comedy dealing with a lie.

Whether the lie is justifiable or not remains to be seen. Of course Miss Thurston is the liar, and that she will prove to be a very attractive, as well as a very innocent sinner goes without saying. The unanimous opinion of press and public in every city where Miss Thurston has presented her new comedy seems to be that "Miss Ananias" is by" far the best play which this delightful star has ever been provided with, supporting company very best on the road this season.

M. Moore, Sec. Regular Meeting Monday at 7:30 Possiblo to Cover Air Line of 1,800 Miles In Forty Hours--Leo Stevens, Professional Aeronaut, to Accompany Clubman to Beat Count de la Vaujx's Flight of 1,193 Miles. Hope of breaking the world's record for balloon nights, which has stood for ten years, possesses Leroy Taylor, a member of the New York Yacht, the Larchmont Yacht, Lambs and other clubs, and he will try to bring the trophy to America by a flight to start within the next weeks trorn Waco, Tex. His associate will be Lee Stevens, a well known professional balloonist The balloon is to be the largest spherical one ever made.

Waco was selected as the starting point after much consideration, in which the meteorological observations of the weather bureau figured largely. Favorable wind currents will give a balloon ascending there the longest possible flight in the general direction of New York. Won't Face Ocean Dangers. Waco is sufficiently inland almost to obviate the danger of being blown out to sea. There are few mountain ranges to be passed, and these are of secondary importance so far as size and effect upon winds are concerned.

Again, Waco is within the zone of comparatively steady blowing winds at certain seasons of the year It is in the hope of getting one from the southwest that the flight has been timed for January. The balloon will carry water and provisions for a month. "This is considered essential, as long stretches of desert land mnst be passed over and the aeronauts may have to land where water and food are unobtainable. Taylor Is an enthusiastic amateur at the balloon game. He has been in several competitions and recently flew from Pittsfield, to a point near there in a snowstorm.

He helped organize the fliers among members of the New York Yacht, Larchmont Yacht and Lambs clubs who are interested in balloons or aeroplanes. The present record for length of flight Is held by Count de la who with gt Victor rode from Vln- cemres, France, to Korostycbew. Eus- sia, L198 miles, in October, 1900. They were not In the air long enough, however, to gire them the endurance record. This to held by Clifford Harmon, who la October, 1910, in a flight from St Louis remained aloft for forty- eight hours and twenty-sir minutes, though he covered nowhere near the distance the Frenchman did.

Jiwt Missed Records. In the samp month Hawley and Post made their sensational flight from St. Louis. It will' be remembered they were lost to the world Tor about a week; then their safe landing was reported from the Canadian backwoods. It was established that they had remained up aloft for forty-five hour.s and fifty-six minutes and had covered 1,171 miles, both performances just short of world's records.

On an air line the distance -from Waco to New York is approximately 1,800 miles, whic-h under highly favoring conditions could be covered readily in les than forty hours. This would mean traveling at an average speed of a little less than forty miles an hour. The balloon now being built is being developed alonjc line 5 that it is hoped will permit it to remain aloft from sixty to seventy-two hours. The ordinary duration of a balloon's gas charge is about forty-eight hours. The craft will take months to build.

It will have a i i power of 13,000 pounds. As the bag and basket carrying two men and fully equipped will weigh about 5.000 pounds, this will allow 8.000 pounds of ballast The bag is built of two thicknesses of special linen, with rubber between. It has been found that linen is far better for such use than silk, not alone on account of its greater toughness, but because the silk is a too ready conductor for electricity, with Its attendant danger to the gas.
