lllondav a startling experience of
Messrs. Gaston Tissandier and Fred-
erick Gower, husband of Nordlea, the
American priiva-donna, showed that
the practical dangers of balloouiang are

•er well actual disasters may bo avoided
by coolness and skill. These two gen-
tlemen ascended from the s

establishment at Auteuil about 1
O'clock, to continue a series of scien-
tifie experiments u eertaidn theories
advanced by L Gewer. They sealed
slowly across Paris to the southeast at
a height of about 1,500 feet, and disap-
peared in the direction of Vincennes.
In answer to the inquiry of a Aforning
Sews representative M. Gower relates
what befell the voyagers .afterward,
"We were at a light of 6,0441 feet
above the Village of kontenay. A. fete
was going on there, and the faint
echo of drums, mingled with the crier
of children and tiro talking of dogs„
just reached our ears amid the awful
silence of the heavens. We were tenon
the donde of the lower stratum, an
had before our tees the magnificent
spectacle of their formation. The
farees of nature moved them to and

piling them into a mountain just above 1
our heads, and thea, as the masa top-
pled to its fall, dispersing it suddenly,

which we saw the fair green laws, and
then quickly closing them, es the va-
pntarone monsters rolled into fresh corn-
bivatious. It was the inner temple of
creative power. perhaps the grandest
sight revealed to human eyes, and we
stood entraneed in silent admiration.
"Suddenly we felt a breath of cold
and biting air, as though the world had
revolved beneath us and brought no

"There is in the air,' said he, 'oeeaslon-

When you are near the ground it does
not much matter. But no prudent
aeronaut, at a height of a thousand
metres or more, will allow his ballast
to bccome even nearly exhausted.'
And this was precisely what our own
case showed so shortly afterward. We
encountered a partial vacuum, a verit-
able pit in the air, where the lif,ing-
power of gas suddenly fell to almost
nothing. Air was, of course, on the
way from some area of a greater dens-
ity to restore the normal pressure, and
of this we had ample evidence upon
reaching the ground. The anchor
struck the soft earth in the most favor-

the soil, and was snatched out with
scarcely an effort by the flying car.

re-
medies, many cases of sores, ulcers, ck ,
pronounced to be hopelessly incur able, because
the treatment pursued fended to destroy the
strength it was incompetent to preserve, and.
to_exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate
to remove. Holloway's Pills exert the moat
wholesome powers over the unhealthy flesh or
skin, without debarring the patient from fresh
air and; exercise, and thus the constitutional
vigour is husbanded while the most malignant
ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases are in pro-
cess of cure. Both Ointment and Pills make
the blood richer and purer, instead of permit-
ting it to fall into that poor and wat-
ery state so fatal to many laboring under
chronic ulcerations,
