But they were mistaken. Nadar had scrambled from the car up the network of the airship after the first shot from the ene my to stop a hole made in the tissue. Presently he descended to the car as the balloon righted itself, and throwing out a quan tity of ballast, caused it to rise higher and higher. Then seizing his rifle he fired shots with rapid succession into the Prussians, which suddenly split and sank to the earth. On reaching the ground a detach ment of Uhlans, who had been watching the combat from the plain, picked up the German aeronauts and rode off to the Prussian outposts. Nadar then alighted in safety within the girdle of the Paris forts, meeting with an enthusiastic ovation for his victory in the first balloon duel.

C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six -months’ constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland.
