$50 for every offence OF keeping hogs within the
city limits. The proprietors were all too poor TO pay
fine, and the authorities were In quandary TO
know how 10 act. Recorder Bonstedt at length
animals a home among several disguised citizens.
The prisoner was fined $50, put being unable to
pay II he was imprisoned until ne should pay.
Leonard lay incarcerated In one OF the miserable
cells In the City Prison for eight days, when the
Councllmen liberated MIN ~ majority vote alter
much discussion. The TACT Is that the ordinance
was and Is inadequate to the requirements OF the
cases. and the poor, uninfuential Leonard ought

Story of the Paris Siege Balloons.

THE London Echo summarizes an in
teresting account Just published of the
dOingS of the Paris siege balloons. which
show that ballooning is by no means so
dangerous mode of travelling as many
would have us believe. Out of siXty,four
balloons which left the French capital,
only two came to bad end, and, as these
Were lost at sea in trying to escape the
enemy, it is but fair To suppose that they
would otherwise have descended safely.
Curiously enough a northerly wind,
which would obviously have been the
most favorable for driving the balloons
to the South OF France, and therefore out
of reach of the enemy, seems rarely to
have helped the besicged. This fact
, alone added much to the difficulties to be
encountered 10y the aerial nayigatOrs in
keeping out of harms way, and really the
only wonder il that 50 many of the yoy-
ages being made in nOrtheasterly dlrcc-
ton there were not more captures effect
ed. Only five balloons were actually
taken by the Germans, although, us may
he supposed, many had very narrow
escapes, sixteen in all falling within the
enemy's lines. Two of these there was
no chance of saving, for they went right
over into hostile territory; one of these
unfortunate convcyanccs descended into
Prussia and the other in Bavaria. Several
accidents happened to the aeronauts in
their descent, but if we except the two
instances of balloons going out to sea.
only one of these ended fatally OF the
siXty-four balloons dispatched, fftyseven
reached a safe destination, carrying 100
navigators and passengers. The duration
of the voyage was, on an average, but
aft ln
