THE FIRST AERONAUT
MIS INITIAL FLIGHT INTO SPACE WAS
AT PARIS IN 1783.
Pilatre des Hosiers W T s*s the Pioneer
of the Inns l.tr.e of During Spirits
Who Perished In Their Attempts to
‘Ir.vlgfate the Air.
The first attempts to make ascen
slons by means of balloons were made
in Paris In the year 1783. Pilatre des
Itoslers was the first and most iilustri-
ous of the long list of aeronauts who
have fallen victims to their desire to
advance the art of aerostatics.
lu July and August of the year 17S3
balloons filled with hydrogen gas were
sent up from Paris, and in September
at Versailles the first balloon was sent
up freighted with living animals.
In the same year Montgolfier con¬
structed a balloon which he claimed
would be capable of carrying passen¬
gers, his workshop being in the gardens
of tbe Faubourg St. Antoine. The bal-
loon was sixty feet in height and forty-
eight broad. Its exterior was richly
painted and embroidered, there being
represented upon it the twelve signs of
the zodiac, the arms of the king of
France and numberless fleurs-de-lis and
lower down, amid a crowd of grotesque
heads and garlands of flowers, a flock
of eagles, with extended wings, that
seemed to be flying and supporting the
huge balloon upon their shoulders.
Below the balloon proper was con¬
structed a circular platform of wicker¬
work, covered with silk, which was
used as a car. This platform was very
large and was surrounded by a balus¬
trade to prevent the aeronauts from
falling out. In tbe center of this plat¬
form or car was an opening, below
which was suspended by chains an iron
stove, which was to be used for rarefy¬
ing the air in the balloon, while in one
comer was a magazine intended for the
storing up of an immense quantity of
straw, which served as fuel.
Pilatre des Rosiers. generally alone,
but at one time accompanied by the
Marquis d’Arlandes and on another oc¬
casion bv M. Girond de Villette, had as-
cended In the balloon without cutting
betght of 1,290 feet. in obtain-

1783 everything was made ready. Dur-

and at 1:30 in the afternoon in tbe pres-
encp of the dauphin 1 and his suit Pi-
latre des Hosiers and the Marquis d'Ar-
landes set out together from the Jar-
dins de la Muette upon the first aerial
voyage ever attempted and performed.
The wind was still very rough and the
•weather stormy, but in spite of these
disadvantages the balloon rose rapidly.
Having passed over Paris and be-
come free from all fear of getting en-
tangled among the buildings of the city,
the aeronauts suffered themselves to
desceDd considerably until they found
themselves in a flesh current of air,

degree that on the 7tll of January,
17S5, Blanchard, a rival of Hosiers,
crossed over the channel from Dover
to Calais.
Hosiers was spurred on by Blanch-
ard’s success and set to work con-
strueting a balloou which, when com-
pieted. lie called an aeremontgolfler.

When a favorable day had arrived,
Pilatre for the last time made his
preparations. He was assisted by a
Boulogne physician named Romain,
and on June 15, 1785, they stepped into
the basket, the ropes were cast off, and
the balloon rose with the utmost maj¬
esty from the earth.
When it bad risen about 200 feet, it
struck a fresh current of air which
took it directly toward the sea. It soon
found another current which rapidly
carried it back again. It possibly may
have been the desire of the aeronauts
to descend to find a more favorable cur¬
rent of air, for while opening the valve
to let the cold air into bis cylinder un¬
fortunately a huge rent was made in
the balloon. The consequences were
Immediate and horrible. At that time
the balloon was 1,700 feet above the
surface of the earth. A few moments
afterward the two aeronauts lay on
the ground dead and horribly muti¬
lated.
Near the spot where Pilatre des Ho¬
siers was buried a monument was
erected In 1853 to commemorate the al¬
most miraculous crossing of the sea by
Blanchard, upon the very spot of earth
on which that intrepid aeronaut de-
seended He had become for France
a hero, and numbers of inscriptions are
mill readable. —New York Times.

NEW YORK CROWDS.
The Different Ways In Which They
Impressed Two Men.
“What I like about New York,” re-
marked a westerner, “is its tremen-
dous energy. Tbe crowds and bustle
have upon me the exhilarating effect
of a stimulant. As I move along among
tbe masses on the sidewalks and look
upon the perpetual stream of vehicles
of all descriptions in the streets I am
conscious of a buoyancy of spirit and
an increased physical energy.
“I feel like going all the time, my
mind is brighter and clearer, and, in
fact, my whole being seems toned up
New York and its crowds are more
beneficial to me than any resort 1 have
ever struck. After a two weeks’ stay
here I return home feeling like another
man.”
“Well, that is strange,” said the per¬
son to whom this statement was made.
“Do you know New York has upon me
just exactly the opposite effect. To me
what I might term the surplusage of
life here is depressing. I am by no
means fond of solitude. 1 have lived in
a moderate sized city all my life, and
It bores me to stay in the country for
any great length of time, , but when 1
come to New York and am caught in
the tides of humanity, see the over-
crowded tenements and have my ears
assaulted with the perpetual din of the
am, after all-no more than a drop of
water in a great river-and the feel¬
in S oppresses me. It seems so It te
there was nobody here who cared what
became of anybody. The only relief I
And from the feeling Is in the theaters,
J to a show every night while I am
b «?re, and of course I enjoy that im-
mensely. But as soon as I have made
the rounds of the shows I am ready to
return home, where I know most ev¬
erybody and there are many who care.”

In most European railways the prin-
ci P al difference between second class
and first class lies in the color of the
st ' at eusbl ° n s. first class being usually
red, second class gray.
The average cost of the body of a
modern long electric car is $2,000, the
average price of a set of double trucks
for such a car Is $ 000 . and the average
cost of the motor is $1,500, making the
total cost of the car $- 1 , 100 .
Some of the Austrian railways have
followed the German custom of selling
numbered seats in the cars of fast
trains, both first and second class. An
extra charge of from about 25 to 50
cents is made for these seats, according
to distance.
The other day, just ns a train was
about to leave Kutas, in Hungary, for
Palfalva, an official appeared and put
seals on the wheels of the engine. The
passengers had to get off and walk,

tlie taxes were paid, and the train pro-
ceeded.

stand is some fifty yards nearer the
station than his own. A commuter

A DARWINIAN THEORY.
Why the Drowning Man Alway«
Throws Bp His Hands.
The usual idea that a drowning man
Is stretching out bis hands for aid or
“catching at straws” is not altogether
satisfactory. A possible explanation
has lately been suggested, and this
supposes that the drowning man. losing
all his acquired habits and even some
of those inherited from more recent
parents, in his terror goes back to the
Instinctive movements of his arboreal
ancestors, and the movements of the
drowning man are those of a frighten¬
ed ape seeking safety by clinging to
the nearest tree.
The movement is certainly instinc¬
tive, for it can only be eliminated by
considerable training nnd voluntary
efforts, and yet it is fatal to the indi¬
vidual, for the specific gravity of no
human body is so nearly that of water
that the removal of the arms from the
supporting fluid at once sinks the face
beneath the surface. In cases of so
called “cramps” the victim, often a
highly trained swimmer, generally
throws up the hands, hut these cases
are probably due to heart failure, and a
similar movement takes place on land
when the subject receives a fatal heart
wound, and it is even a common ex
pression of shock or astonishment. The
ordinary movements of walking or run
ning would keep a man's face above
water, but these curious climbing
movements of both hands and feet
make floating impossible and are re¬
sponsible for many deaths by drown
ing.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Giraffe's Timidity.
A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds, but is indifferent to loud
ones. A writer in The Leisure Hour
says: “Noisy sounds, like a man walk¬
ing by with hobnail hoots, it does not
notice, but a lady coming In with hard¬
ly more sound than the rustling of her
dress makes It start, with pricked ears
and eyes distended. We remember
well, after a terrible explosion of gun¬
powder on a barge on the canal, ask¬
ing the keeper of the giraffes of that
day how they had taken it, and he said
he was surprised how very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet,
but almost at once lay down again
when they found nothing happened.
“But,” he added, “If l were at night¬
time to creep along that gallery In my
socks they would be so scared that I
believe they would dash themselves to
bits.” They fear the lurking foe, and
a bing bang scares them less than a
faint, rustling sound. They are in that
respect very deerlike.”
