UNLoADED TORPEDOES THROWN FROM A
BALLOON WHILE CROSSING THE CHANNEL.
From the New York Sun.
During the recent balloon voyage of Messrs.
L'Hoste and Mangot between Cherbourg and
London, NJ. IHOste made some interesting
experiments to determine the feasibility of
using balloons for war purposes. The eronauts
man9uvred while passing over SLIPS, and
threw down unlOaded torpedoes, which, if

Informs the Balloon society that he claims only
partial control OF the movements of balloons
by means of his patent steering apparatus. but
he has demonstrated that by the use Of the
Flatteur apparatus he can maintain any de-
sired altitude above the water. This apparatus
consists Of continuance which drags in the
water, and is capable of being raised or lowered
from the balloon.
Inc journey Is substantially equivalent to the
recent trip of the same vOyager across the
channel, and, in fact, to the Journey made by
the American, DIR. Jeffries, with much more
primitive appliances, century ago. The fact,
however, that instead of landing wherever the
wind might take them ON the opposite shore
as In previous crossings OF the channel, they
directed their course to a definite point, the
city OF London, and there alighted, indicates an
advance In arOnautics. This advance Is fairly
to be ascribed TO the fact that the Torpilleur
has propeller for steering, like the air ship
successfully tried by the Renards and Krebs at
Meudon. But the main interest In the recent
voyage Is derived from the fact that it is only
a trial trip, preliminary to the more hazardous
undertaking OF flight from CherbOurg to Nor
way. should this be accomplished a new
epoch will be reached in the annals OF BALLOON

Useless Studies in the schools.

from the Chicago Times, July IL.
III parents living in Chicago desire to have
their children instructed in the art Of reading

anu ioiolng; caiisthenics and physical culture,
mas also been extended, and a special superin-
tendent employed for the primary grades. Com
middle classes in this city ever PASS beyond the
primary grades. Their education, so far as
schools are concerned, terminates with their
ians Of public education to make the three or
four years these children pass in school of as
much practical advantage to them as possible.
" the 1925 children in the public schools in
the year 1884, the last year for which report
has been published, a, 6o1 were in the primary
grades or the L ,647 who enter the first grade,
only 145 reach the twelfth grade. Only Il per
cen cent Of the pupils enrolled any year are in the
grammar grades. and only per cent are in the
various high schools. It is a matter OF common
report that the general superintendent, princi-
pals and assistants are almost unanimous in
their opposition to grating SO many useless or
ornamental branches on the tree of knowledge.
MOST OF them are ex. erienced educators who
know something Of the capacity of children to
learn and OF the length of time that they will
attend school. They understand what consti-
t9tes sound, practical and useful education.
s most parents, and especially those who have
received an education In the best schools in the
country, are also opposed to these superf1uous
ana ornamental branches. Our schools have
become dumping grounds where every "crank"

sistants. Are families in this city who have
big boys in school out of bucksaws, saxes,
spades and snow shovels? II they are, and can
not obtain them SO that their sons can take the
proper amount OF exercise when they are at
tenolng school, they can resort 70 roller skating
or JOIN an amateur base ball club. Boys whose
fathers nave money to support them In idle
ness, or who are too good to work about the
mouse, can be sent to a gymnasium.

Love and SelE.Ruiu.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Some few years ago a certain attache of lega-
ton in Washington became notorious for
drunkenness, insolence, violence and black
guardism generally. Such nuisance, In short.
did he become that diplomatic patience was at
length exhausted and he left the country by
request. Subsequently he went to one of the
small Central American states and recently he
died there.
And now promptly comes the sentimental
paragraphist with a story that the Door Young
man took to drink and killed himself because
he had been crossed in love. We doubt the
story, but, even if true, misfortune of the sort
slow moral suicide OF u bad Lille. 10 fall in love
is the worst misfortune that can betall proud
and sensitive man, but it can aud should be
lived down and turned into u blessing. The
youth whose career In the public service was
blighted by his own unmanly weakness might
had he chosen, found strength in the biogra-
phies OF men who have filled o most glorious

Three presidents, at least, Of the United States
Washingto ton, Madison and Buchanan were un.
lucky In early adventures of the heart: but
they were not made Of the stuff that browns
chagrin in whisky.
IL there is any ground for the story to which
we have alluded It Is probably the fact thai the
young lady in the case was fortunate enough to
get an inkling OF the true character OF the man
with whom she was assOciating and broke of
the connection in time to save herself from q
