WAR BALL00NING.

In the next great war, wherever it
may occur, it is more than likely
that military aeronautics will be
greatly developed. Ballooning was,
to some extent, resorted to during
our civil war, chiefly for purposes of
observation and for reporting the
positions of an enemy, part of the
results obtained being fairly salts,
factory, and in the Franco-Prussian
war some further progress was made
in the science. What has been done,
however, in this direction is as moth.
ing, apparently, compared with the
possibilities Of the future. A recent
article in the Century Magazine has
demonstrated that, with the assis-
lance of instantaneous photography,
a great deal of work very valuable
to an army may be accomplished
from a balloon, and from a small
one quite simple in construction and
equipment. Views taken through
the bottom of the car or from over
the sides, at heights ranging from
three-quarters of a mile to mile
and a.quarter, present with wonder
full clearness the general topography
of the country, and as upon a map
are displayed accurately the courses
of roads, lanes and streams, great
and little; the streets of a village,
and even the line of fencing diyid- !
ing the fields. Such maps would be
invaluable in campaign, and by
the same means accurate sketches |
of the interiors of important fortress
es, the positions occupied by corps
and divisions and the lines of de- |
fence of great cities could, it is reas-
enable to believe, be obtained in.
simultaneously through the photo.
graphing balloon. France has lust
decided to create special depart. |
ment of military aeronautics, with
eight stations In the departments,
and will, doubtless, follow these very
recent American aeronauts in a /
series of experiments with the
camera, now that it is shown that it
can do such very effective work in
the region of the clouds. 1t would
be well for our government to move /
in the same direction, but as this is
not probable, at least for some time,
our amateur aeronauts and photo
graphers should continue the work
so well begun in this field.

One of its chief features is a careful

forth its location, area, adjoining nav

THE SCHOOL BOOK sWINDLE.

West Virginia has - law permit
ting and authorizing the State Su.
perintendent of public schools to
contract for books for the use of the
people Of the State, for a period OF
five years. The present State SUI
perintendent must have an exag-
gerated idea of the value of books,
judging from the extortionate price
now paid by the citizens of West
Virginia for school books.
Take McGuffy's readers. They
are neither choice in matter, proper
ly bound nor exceptionally well
printed. The fifth reader, for in
stance, sells for seyenty-two cents.
A better bound book with three
times the matter in it. can be bought
in New York for fifty cents. Histo-
ry, fiction, science, poetry, biogra-
ply, miscellany, in cloth and gold,
can be purchased for one-third what
the people in this State pay for lot
of drivel, denominated readers. The
other school books are nearly all bet
ter in matter, but sell at the same
extortionate price.
Something is wrong: something
is corrupt. To tie the people of
State fast to such an iniquity for
series of years, is piece of work
which calls for the most rigid inves-
tigation. The people are compelled
to buy the books, by virtue of the
law requiring their use in the school.
The State Superintendent enters
into contract that is clear outside
of the bounds of reason, and here
are the people of West Virginia
pouring tribute into the Golfers of
foreign book makers. at a startling
rate every year. They are just as
much compelled to do this, as though
a regiment of soldiers marched from
door to door, and exacted their earn
ings from them. Not to do it, means
to keep their children out of the
public schools, and rear them in ig-
norance and slothfulness. The pen
atty is too great; a country may
stop drinking tea, but State can
not afford to cease educating its
youths.-Ritchie Gazette.
