The PRACTICAL USES OF BALLooNINa.-
With reference to this subject, NV. de FOn-
yielle, in a communication addressed to the
London Daily Telegraph, remarks that the
Germans in the late war with France made
attempts 20 render balloon serviceable in CON
nectiOn with their military operations, and only
reinquished the idea after numerous failures.
That they succ aeded in capturing two French
balloons in consequence of the effect of their
shots upon the constructions in question, he
attributes to the latter having been manned by
incompetent persons too sparing eff their bal
last. He considers the scientific results obtained
by aerestatiOn to be numberless, and begs leave
to call attention to an unexpected one which
came under the observation of NJ. and Madame
DuroUf when lowering over the North Sea- The
water beneath them appeared to be quite clear,
so that ITS varying depths were distinctly mark
ed by different shades of color. NJ. de Fon-
Wells suggests that this fact might we'll be
made available for photographic purposes, and
proposes an aerial inspection of the Straits OF
Dover, TO discover If the nature of the bottom
offers any serious impediment to the boring of
the Anglo-Franc0 railway tunnel.

French Justice.

a case which was tried recently in the dep3rt-
ment of the Eure-et-Loire has attracted atten-
ton to the unaccOuntabie way in which French
juries return verdicts of guilty with extenl-
ating circumstances" A brother and sister
were charged with the murder of their mother
who herself, there is reason to believe, had
poisoned her husband. Living near the scene
OF repeated hOstilities between the Germans
and French in 1870, the whole family were az.
customed to repair at night TO the battle held,
where they plUndered the dead and wounded
selling their spells to German camp followers
The property thus gained seems to have excited
the cUpidity, first of the wife, whose husband
in bis last moments imputed his death to slma
thing she had given him as medicine, aud next
OF her son. He attempted in turn to poison
his mother, and, this failing, he straDgled her
IN her sleep, representing TO the neigh6Ors tn
she had committed suicide, WHICH derived some
plausibility from the fact that charge of theft
was hanging over her. Tue sister witnessed
the pSpetratiOn of the crime, for the whole
family had been in the habit of Oecupying a
single room, but there was some reason to think
she was Of weak intellect, and she was ac1uit-
ted. The murderer was found 4" guilty." with
eXtenuatiDg circumstances, the only ground

few weeks ago, in which woman was mar
dered by her father-in-law under revolving cir
cumstsnces her husband looking on and Offer
itg nJresist anCe a similar verdict was returned
;he result being that the prisoner escaped with
i've or six years impris rnmeDt. It il urged
that such veIdicts prove the necessity of reform
ing the jury laws.

How LAMARTINR CARVED HIS NAME
Madame Audouord tells this story of Lamar
tine and his visit to the cedsrs of Lebanon:
"These cedars," says Lamartine, "are grand
and Impressive; they tower above the centu-
ries; they know history better than history
knows herself; they astonish the people OF Leb-
anon" On reaching the spot Madame Audou-
ord saw what seemed a group of dTarfed and
ever. Her guide asked her If he should carve
her name with that of Lamartine. She asked
II he had accompanied the poet on his visit to
the spot. accompanied him! no; for he never
came here He sent me to carve his name
while he remained in Beyrout, as everyb )dy
else does"
