TIL. EifeI Tower.

A Paris correspondent tells a pretty story
from the Eiffel Tower, which is still one of
the attractions of the city.
Daring the exhibition of 1889 it was the
custom OF those who made the ascent to
write letters there, direct them to them
selves, and after tying them to little bal
looms. launch them into space from the
immense height.
One of these letters, still fastened to its
balloon, was lately discovered on an estate
in Hungary, the proprietor of which put it
into the post. and it duly reached the writer
in Paris, who was much astonished To re-
ceive letter written to himself more than
a wear before.
