Show Work of Practical Joker. The Corriere of Rome, which published pub-lished some time ago a copy of a document said to have been found in the library at Bergamo containing an account of "an airship voyage across the English channel in 1751," is receiving re-ceiving much attention at. the hands Df investigators. In the Tribune's no tice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk named Grima'.di. of Ci-vita Ci-vita Vecchia, was the chief actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Italian paper's article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. "Now,"' writes an Englishman from Kerne, "the records of Civita Vecchia irei being searched in vain for a Gri-maldi Gri-maldi and the papers of England for a story of the flight. The document may be in the library, but who was the practical joker who placed it there?" New York Tribune. i |
