Balloons Ia War.

THE plan of employing balloons in war
fare was practiced by the French in 1884.
After the expulsion of the Austrians from
Liegc by General Jordan, they retired to a
strong situation at some distance, where
they threw up intrenchments, intending to
wait for reinforccments. Before, however,
these could arrive, they were attacked by
the French on the 18th of September Of
that year, and forced to retire after great
slaughter on both sides. The success OF
the French was attributed in great measure
to Me discovery of the position and move
ments of the AUstrians made by two
engineers whom the French sent up in an
air balloon. From this balloon the cngi-
neers perceived whatever was being done IN
the Austrian camp, and gave continual no.
tice of all they saw by notes which they
threw down among their own people. BY
these means the number Of troops in the
camp, the quantity of their artillery, their
motions and probable designs, were made
known to the French, who directed their
attacks accordingly against the weakest
parts. assaulting these with the largest
bodies of their troops, and with greater
confidence from the probability OF success.
The French armies had indeed on previous
occasions made use of balloons; at the
battle Of Fleurus, during the siege OF
Mayence. and during that of the fortress OF
Fhrenbretstein, on which occasion bal
looms were found of great utility. The
annual Register" of 1874 says
THE French armies are attended with a
new species of accommodating engineers,
whose business it is 10 do every thing rel
alive to the preparation and use of bal
looms. The person who mounts in the
balloon is furnished with paper and pencils
of different colors. The marks to be made
are agreed on beforehand, and the paper,
after being marked, is attached to small
rod like an arrow. one end of which is
loaded and pointed, SO that it strikes in the
ground and stands upright A small piece
of colorcd silk is attached to the other end
like a 9,g, to repder it more visible. This
is dropped frop the balloon on GROUND
that * in possession Of the army to which
the balloon belongs, and thus the intorma-
ton obtained is fully communicated. =

Father Moody aud the Turkey.

An exchange is indebted 10 Pitts
burgh correspondent for the following
capital anecdote of Father Moody, who
was born at Newbury, 1915, graduated at
Harvard College in 1858, settled in York,
Maine, in 1900 and died at seventy-two
years of age, in 1913:
Come, Charles, my son." said Deacon
Ellsworth, take one Of these turkeys, and
carry it up to minister Moody Cor Thanks
giving" :" No, father, l don't do that
again, tell you," what do hear now,
Charlesy These fve-and-twenty years
Lave sent The minister turkey, and Joe
has carried them, and Tom, and Jerry, and
YOU, without, ever refusing before. What's
the matter nowy" why, father, he
never thanks me for bringing it TO him.
ncsdes, lie took me TO task, a while ago,
because started out Of meeting too soon"
- Well, son, YOU know it is the custom for
the minister TO go out before any Of the
congregation starts; this is done as mark
OF respect" Respect or not, he's moth
ing but q man; and as for creeping for
him, won't DO it." well, let it pass,
and carry him the turkey. and if he don't
thank YOU for ii, will" Charles shoulder
ed the fowl, and in a short time was at the
minister's house The minister was sur
rounded by number of his friends who
had come to spend Thanksgiving with
him. The lad entered without knocking,
and bringing the turkey from his shoulder
heavily upon the table, said: Mr. Moody,
there's turkey for you. If you want it,
you may have it; if you don't, I'll carry it
back again" Il shall be very glad of it."
said the minister, but | think you might
learn little manners, Charles. Can't
YOU do an errand better?" How would

took the Chair, while the divine took the
turkey and left the roOn. lie soon return
ed. took off his hat, made a very low bow
and saids Mr.. Moody, here is turkey
which my father sends to you and wishes
you to accept as present" Charles rose
from his seat, took the fowl, and said to
the minister: II is a very fine one, and
feel grateful to your father for it. In this
and many other instances he has contrib
uted to my happiness. If you will just
carry it into the kitchen and return again,
| will send for Mrs. Moody to give you
a half a dollar" The good old clergyman
walked out of the room; his friends
laughed at the joke, and made up purs
for the lad, who ever afterward received
reward for his services.

On the subject of seizure and disposition
of property for violation of the revenue
laws, Mr.. Delano suggests that the act of
July IL, 1866, be so amended as to make
its provisions applicable to property forfeit
ed under any OF the internal revenue laws.
The limit in the value of the property
seized should be extended from $500 to
$500, and the expenses of seizure and Gus
tody should be provided for as well as
those of appraisement and sale.

HOW LIFE NAY BE SAVED.
To the Editor of the New York Sun.
SIR: Sun-stroke is not caused mereZg
by the heat of the sun, or by its direct
rays. 1t Is not necessarily attended with
rush of blood " to the head The first
symptoms are rapid loss of strength ana
slight dizziness, with confusion of ideas
and generally burning spot with numb
ness on the top of the head. Perspira-
ton stops, and decided chilly sensation
is felt along the backbone. To avert or
relieve:
First. Apply ice or ice-cold water to
the top of the head, and if the burning
is felt at the base of the skull apply cold
fhere, taking care not to wet the back.
Second. Give to drink (hot, if possible
cayenne pepper or ginger stirred into wa.
ter, and as strong as patient can take it,
{ Fluid essence of Jamaica ginger" isex-
rellent for this purpose and as prevent
|ive.)
Third. Quickly wrap the body in a
blanket or other warm covering, for lie
depends upon restoring the natural circu
lation, and stimulating free perspiration
Fourth. Don't allow the suns rays t.
touch the patients head for at least TWEEN
y-four hours.
If at hand, a warm bath would aid ma
-erially, aid carbonate of ammonia taken
internally in proper quantity is a safe and
valuable stimulant.
Afrer recovering from sun stroke, the La
bility to another is increased, and with
some is never eradicated.
When physicians observe and record
the facts in a large number of cases oil
sun stroke, am contidant that it will be
proved that the chemical or actinSc rays
OF the sun do the mischief and that they
are often powerful and dangerous when
the heating rays are comparatively weak
