A WIFE's INFLUENCE.

Duff. In his worst days she never upbralded

met him as if he was one Of the kindest and

child. This sentence, it is hoped, will be

BALLOON FATALITIES.

pAbLOo4N
The recent unfortunate and probably fatal
balloon ascension of Mr.. Thurston, which has
created such painful interest throughout
the country, has also brought out, through
the columns Of the newspaper press, many
scraps of history connected with balloon
travelling. The Providence journal has com
piled quite list of fatalities, and adds that
1t does not know of one distinguished aero
naut that has not met with violent death BY
means Of balloon:
Among the first who commenced these
voyages were M. Pilatre and Nj. Roman, Of
France. They made an ascent from Bologne,
June Is, 1885, with Montgolfer balloon,
the fire being kindled underneath, and the
balloon ascending by means OF rarefied air.
AT an amazing height the balloon took fire,
burned the cords by which the car was sus-
pended, and the unhappy occupants were
precipitated to the earth, dashing them TO
! pieces in manner too shocking to mention.
NJ. Zambeceari, accompanied by friend,
made an ascent from the same place, Sept
Cd, 1919. On his descent, the balloon be-
came entangled in the branches of high
/ tree, and ere il could be disengaged, caught
fire. The aeronauts leaped ont. Iambeccarl
| was killed on the spot, and Nj. Bonoga sur
! vived but short time.
About the same time, amechaniclan named
| Bittorf, ascended from Mannheim. At q con-
siderable height. he perceived too late, that
! his vehicle was damaged. He opened the
!. valve, descended with great velocity, and
j was dashed to pieces against house.
: Madame Blanchard ascended from Tiyoli
4 July sth, 1919, during the progress Of fetc
! there. At the height OF four hundred iee'
the balloon caught hre. She ieil upon the
pavement and was instantly Killed.
Mr.. Harris, very experienced aeronaut
was killed May 24th, 1924. lie went VI
from the City road, London. AT the helgh

y rapidly, was precipitated to the earth ant

e on the Flat House shoals in the centre Q
Bristol Channel.
