Failing From Balloons.

The proportion of balloon accidents
to successful descents has. on the whole,
says the Forum. been probably smaller
than should have been anticipated.
blanchard, t!ie first TO take up balloon
inc rs vocation, died in his bed in
1909, after having made siXty-six de-
scents without accident. Many ascents
have been made in the cause of sci-
'nce, and the names of Green, who
made over !, 400 ascents; of John Wise,
who made the distance from st. Louis
to Jefferson cour!ty, New York, 1900
miles. in twenty hours; of Gay-Lussac
and Blot, who in 1904 made most
valuable series of meteorological and
physical observations at the height OF
10, 600 feet; Of Glaisher who rose to
$1,000 feet with the aeronaut CoXwell,
and especially. recently. of the brothers
Tissandier--all of these are familiar to
everyone.
In 1894 the balloon was used for mill
itary purposes by General Jourdon,
who secured continued observations of
the Austrian movements, and thus
gained the battle OF Fleury. The
French arc also reported to have used
the same method in the battle OF Solterl-
no. 4 balloon corps WAS organized by
General Mcclellan at the outbreak Of
our own civil waf 1861, and the use Of
balloons was one of the regular aud
daily means of obtaining informa-
ton of the .0Cvements of the enemy.
During the siege of Paris the balloon
became the only means of sending dis
patches cut of the beleaguered city.

the balloons sent out from Paris. over
sixty in number, only three were lost.

were dispatched at night to avoid the

The Graceful Nfinuct.

The minuet which Strauss is about to
introduce to the partial exclusion of his
own waltz, was the first ball dance
which had really worldwide popu-
larity. 1t is slow digniIied dance.
an appropriate product OF the time and
place of its birth. 1t is very Old. When
Don Juan d'Austria went incognito
from Brussels to Paris nothing lie saw
during his famous trip excited his adj
miration half so much rs the grace with
which the beautiful Margaret of Bur-
gundy danced the minuet. Other beaus
aud titled handles of the same period
also put in writing tlattcring illusions
TO the beauties of this dance. Never
theless, it is exceedingly doubtful that
the ininuet of those times was the
original model OF the minuct of to-day.
The minuet which very recently has
appeared in the Partisan salons, was
invented by the French ballet master,
Gardcl or rather was evolved by
him from much older dance for
the celebration of the marriage
of King Louis XVI. "Minuet of
the Queen" is the title which the ga
liant Gardcl gave to his new dance in
honor OF Marie Antoinette. The figures
of dance of the time of Louis NV.
were utilized by Gardel as the basis OF
his new minuet. The old dance, with
which every court ball of Louis XIV.
was opened. consisted mostly therein
that the gentleman and lady faced each
other, moved a few steps forward and
backward in time with dignihed and
souorous music, bowed deeply and re-
turned to their places. This dance
was called the "Braule." 1t was sue
ceeded by the gavotte, in which 1.-The
gentlemen kissed the bouquet of
flowers and with deep bow handed
it To his partner" From this gavotte
Gardel derived the minuct. The famous
dancing master, Pecourt, introduced an
important innovation by changing the
S figure into the Il figure, which is still
danced. The minuet is the only dance
which preserves the courtly dignity Of
the old regime. aud therefore has ever
been regarded rs the most aristocTatic
of dances. The most popular of minute
music is from the first finale of Mozart's
Don Juan. This music is the model of
all other music to which the minute has
been danced of late years.-BerLtUer

A fortnight had passed, and Esme

panon. Together they sat out in the
garden. Under the shade of the tulipa,
during the long. hot afternoons: to-
gether, later, they would pass TO The
terrace which lay on the other side Of
the house--the terrace where, IN all the
rays of the setting sun, the peacocs3
strutted up and down in all the pride
engendered by the consciousness OF fine
feathers. They would lean on the low
wall facing the glory of sunset. looking
across the level English meadows,
through which flowed the river, taking
on its CLASSY breast the rejecting CLEANS
of red and gold from the sky above and
admiring, often in silence, the glories
of heaven, which seemed finding re-
flection in the waters beneath.
The first few days they had read
much, talked Of the work which was
the connecting link between the friends
the work in which the son of the one
and daughter of the other had SO easily
found a meeting place; and from that
they had diverged to books generally,
and comparison of what they had
read and liked.
