The saorlflce of Mme. Sophie Blanch

was the wife of a successful French aero
naut. who. haring made many ascensions
In France. Germany and the United
States, celebrated hts slxtr-sixth and tost
at The Ifsgue In February, 1108. After
the death of her husband the plucky little
woman took up his work, and In July.
1619. rose from the Tivoli garden In the
presence of an Immense crowd. Once In
the atr Mme. Blanchard set off fireworks
and prepared to detach a parachute,
which was to complete the display. Sud
denly a light was seen above the basket
In which she stood. Ttys crowd, thinking
this a port of the fireworks, applauded,
shouting: "Bravo! Mme. Blanchard!”
But the flames continued to spread and It
was soon seen that the structure was on
fire. Slowly the balloon came down until
tt hovered ever the tops of the .houses.
The aeronaut could be heard calling for
help. It seemed that she would bo saved,
so Slight was ths elevation. Suddenly
the basket caught.against the projection
of a roof and was overturned. Mme.
Blanchard fell head first and was crush
ed to death on the afreet pavement.
At London, tn Ma& 1824, Lieut liar-

In a sudden descant caused by tho

they planned a.higher ascent than

Here the cold grew so Intense rhat

There are at least three recorded
fatalities from the use of wings In
what la known as "soaring fllghtB"—>a
method of aeronautics which dates
back to the thirteenth or fourteenth
century. The first of them recall* the
"flying man." one Vincent de Groof,
who met his death In wings at Lon
don In July. 1174. The second Is
the case of Otto LillentHal. of Ber
lin, whose soaring experiments, carried
on for more.than twenty-five years,
did much to pave the way for the
aeroplane. When in the air Lllien-
thal’s machine looked like an enormous
bat. It had two tails, the one hori
zontal, to turn the flight up or down;
the other vertical, to act like the rud
der of a boat, the whole apparatus
weighing about forty pounds. The
aeronaut selected for his experiments
a hilly region In the suburbs of (Ber
lin. The soarer ran along the summit
of the hill against the, wind and
Jumped when he reached the trow.
The force of the wind against him
constituted a sustaining power, which
flor.taetd the machine gently along al
most parallel with t’he ground for a
