A special commission on balloons has
been established by the British military author
itios. and put in charge of three captains OF the
army. The great value Of balloons for signal
service has been fully recognized during the
present wars in Aighanistan and Zululand. In
the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich there is now a
balloon mandatory. and during the past win
ter the on-commissoned officers and soldiers
have been taught the details Of the construction
Of these military appliances. Four improved
balloons have been produced there. A portable
furnace for the preparation Of hydrogen gas in
the field has been invented 1t weighs three and
a half tons. and can initiate the balloon in twelve
hours. The cable used for communication is
twelve centimetres in diameter. with resist
ance OF three tons. When tested in operation it

Some time ago THE Sun published the
fined In the hospital for the insane at Kala-
mazoo. Michigan. Mrs KEwLEY charged
cruelty and carelessness upon the authorities
Of the hospital. and these charges excited such
attention that the Michigan Legislature APP
pointed a committee 10 investigate the hospital.
While some Of Mrs. KEwLEY's allegations are
not fully sustained. there is ample proof that
numerous deeds Of cruelty and i'll treatment
have been perpetrated by the attendants and
one accusation OF ineXcusable brutality has
been verified. An interesting fact is that pa
tients whose mental unsoundness was plainly
apparent to the Committee related incidents
which were subsequently proved by sane per-
sons to be strictly correct. The hospital for the
insane at Athens. Ohio, has just been investi-
gated by the Board Of Trustees. which body tx
onerated DR.. CLARKE. the Superintendent. from
the charges made against him but dsmssedsev-
eral of the subordinate officials. Tho Cleveland

has made an Investigation ON its own account
and by its own reporters. and the Herald pub
fishes the testimony Of employees Of the hospi-
tai to the effect that the Superintendent has
been in the habit OF getting drunk and grossly
neRlectinR his duties and that the death OF one
patient was fastened If not caused by neglect.
The Herald also reports that members OF the
Board Of Trustees have not unfrequently been
seen drunk in DIR. CLARKEs company, which. II
true. would show why tho trustees whitewashed
DR., CLARKE. An investigation by the Legisla-
ture is now in order.

as profitable one will hereafter have new re-
sponsibility in the way OF watchfulness added

downward into the wall OF the Jail from room
In the fifth story Of the adjoining tenement by
some Of his old pals. Now any other prisoner
in the iail might escape in the same way. The
adjoining tenement is private property. and
cannot be torn down unless the owner should
give his consent. which he would not be likely
to give until the city had paid him well for it,.
