A BALLOON DUEL.-Perhaps the
most remarkable duel ever fought took
place in 1903. 1t was peculiar French
10 its tone, and could hardly have oe-
cured under any other than a French
state of society. M. LIE Pique has q
quarrel, arising out Of jealousy con-
corning lady engaged at the lmperi-
al Opera. They agreed to fight duel
to settle their respective claims and lp
order that the heat Of angry passion
should not interfere with the polished
elegance of the proceeding, they post
poned the duel for month, the lady
agreeing to bestow her smiles on the
survivor of the two, if the other was
killed, or, at all events, this was infer
red by the two men, il not actually ex,
pressed. The duelists were to fight in
the air. Two balloons were construct
ed, precisely alike. On the day de-
noted, LIE Granpre and his second en-
tered the car of one balloon, LIE ,Pique
and his second that of the other; it
was in the Garden of the Tullbrles,
amid ma immense concourse OF spec
tators,
The gentlemen were to fire, not at
each other, but at each Others balloons,
in order to bring them down by the
escape of gas; and, as pistols might
hardly have served the purpose, each
aronaut took blunderbuss in his car.
Alta given signal the ropes that re-
tanned the cars were cut and the bal
looms assembled. The wind was moder-
ate and kept the balloons in about
their original distance of eight yards
apart. When half a mile above the
surface of the earth preconcerted
signal for firing was given. M. LIE
Pique fred, but missed. M. LIE
Granpre fred and sent bali throug b
LIE Piaue's balloon. The balloon col
lapsed, the car descended with fearful
rapidity, and lie Pique and his second
were dashed to pieces. LIE Granpre
continued his ascent triumphaptly,
and terminated his serial voyage sue
,cesafuIly at aIdistance Of seven lea,
