tions, the material and the money were all
ready, but the great Giffard was seized
with blindness. and thus incapacitated for
this great undertaking.
In 1870, after the first defeat Of the
French. and while Paris was in q state of
siege, when the only means that the in
habitants had of communicating with the
outside world was by balloons or by car
fier pigeons. Dupuy de LONE, who had al
ready gained great reputation in the
construction OF ironciads became a men,
Der of the committee Of defense, and inter-
ested himself in aeronautics. He pre-
scented 70 the academy of science project
for "dirigeabIe" balloon. and the
national defense opened a credit of
1000 francs for its construction.
But on account of great difficulties, and
the complete Discrimination of labor,
this balloon was ready only few days
before the capituiation. and, in fact, was
not actually tried until two years later
This balloon was 118 feet long, forty-eight
feet in diameter and contained 10, 076
cubic feet Of pure hydrogen gas, and it was
in the form of q very thick cigar. As it
was necessary to keep the balloon COM
pletely inflated in order that it should
have sufficient stiffness to maintain its
form while being propelled, it was fur
nished with an interior bag or balIoonette,

was suspended about forty-six feet below
the balloon, and was provided with q pro-
pe,ling screw 29.5 feet in diameter, which
was driven by eight men. A triangular
rudder was attached to both the balloon
and the cords Of suspension. The first
experiments took place on February 2.
1872, in the Fort Of Vincennes, under the
direction of NJ. Dupuy de LONE, accom-
panied by II. Zede, II. Yon, and eight men
to operate the screw. The balloon as
cended rapidly, and as soon as the screws
operated It responded to the action of the
rudder at once.
The speed was found to be 60 miles per
hour, and it descended without accident
about six miles from the point of depart

TRUF FAITUFTIEFsS,

In this men readily deceive themselves;
they can do anything well in imagination
better than the real task that is in their
hands. They presume that they could do
God good service i'll some place of COM
mand, who serve Him not, as becomes them,
in that which is by far the easer-the place
of obeying wherein He has set them. They
think that if they had the ability and oppor-
tunities that some men have, they
would do much more for religion and
for God than they do; and yet they do
nothing but spoil far lower part than that
which is their own. and is given them to
study and act Alright in. But our folly and
selt-ignorance abuses us it is not our part
to choose what we should be- but to be what
we are, to His glory who gives us to be such.
Be thy condition ever so mean, yet thy "con-
science towards Cod" if it be within thee,
will find itself work in that. If it be little
that is entrusted to thee in regard of thy out
ward condition, or any other way, "be thou
faithful in that little" as our Saviour speaks,
and thy reward shall not be little-He shall
make the ruler over much Leighton

RELIGIOUS READING.

RULES FOR DAILY LIFE.
Begin the day with GOD:
Kneel down to Him in PRAYER;
Lift up thy heart to His aboie,
And seek his love to share.
Open the Book of God,
And read a portion there;
That it may haIow all thy Thoughts
And sweeten all thy care.
Go through the day with God,
What'e er thy work may be;
Where'er thou art-at home, abroad,
He still is near TO thee.
Converse in mind with God;
Thy spirit heavenward raise;
Acknowledge every good bestowed,
And offer grateful praise.
Conclude the day with God;
Thy sins to him confess;
Trust in the Lord's atoning blood,
And plead his righteousness.
Lie down at night with God,
Who gives His servants sleep; =,
And when thou tread'st the vale OF death
He will thee guard and keep.

Cremation IN America.

The advocates or cremation nave
IN their favor some strong arguments.
They say the mandate that dust
shall return to dust" is irreyocable,
and its fulfilment is inevitable; that
we can in no way prevent it; we may
obstruct or we may assist, and reason
dictates the latter course. Since the
longer the process is delayed the
greater is the danger to the health OF
the living, cremation is a benehcent
Institution. Its growth In Europe
has been surprising, and In Italy
there are large numbers OF crema-
tories, and in this country the preju-
dice against the movement is de-
creasing. 1t is only eleven years
since the formation Of the New York
Cremation Society, the first institu'
tion of the kind in the United States,
and not until the year 1885 was the
first operative crematory inaugu-
rated, yet there are now in various
parts of the States nearly score OF
these incinerators in more or less
continuous service. The number OF
cremations which have been con-
Quoted each year in one OF these
temples in Buffalo gives fair idea OF
the progress which the sentiment In
favor Of this method is making.
During 1885 eight bodies were inciD-
Grated, and in each successive year to
the end Of 1891 the numbers were re-
spectively, II, 16, %, 80 and 81. In
this temple everything possible has
been done to mitigate the sadness OF
the last ritual. The temple is built
of dark-brown sandstone, and its
square tower and deep slanting roof
are covered with ivy and surrounded
by sloping lawns. The chancel and
nave are artistically carved and dec
Grated and the windows are Of rich
stained glass. The incineration takes
place privately after the funeral SER
vice, and the ashes are delivered to
the undertaken to be disposed Of as
the family may direct, or they may
be left at the crematory. A society
formed after the organization Of the
pioneer society has reduced to ashes
since the year 1885 upward of $50
bodies. The process as carried out at
one of their principal temples is as
follows: The furnace is Of fire brick
throughout and separated into two
distinct but similar Compartments.
The body is placed in chamber di-
rectly above that in which the fuel
Is consumed. The bottoms of the
retorts are solid, but the sides and
ends are pierced with holes, through
which the heated air Of the furnace
has direct access to the body, while
the flames are not permitted to ap-
proach it. The heat of the retort
soon liberates everything volatile in
the body and these emanations are
conducted through another highly
heated chamber, and thus rendered
odorless and absolutely innocuous be-
fore they pass through the chimney
which forms their means of egress
to the air The time taken up in re-
ducing body to ashes depends some
what upon the size and condition Of
the person when alive. In this fur
mace 1t Is about two hours; in many
Others it is little over an hour.
The fuel used is coal, and in five or
six hours from the starting of the
fires temperature of from 1000 de-
grees to $500 degrees Fahrenheit can
be obtained.

A PRAYER.

The most beautiful and efficient feature OF
the order of the Kings Daughters IS line
PRAYER of Conservation" which each klnS
Daughter offers every morning upon rising.
1t is this:

wilt.
"Whatever work Thou has for me to do,
give it unto my hands.
IF there are those Thou wouldst have me
to help in any way, send them to me.

THE NEARNEss OF CHRIST.

You may be nearer to Christ than you
think. Those men who went stumbling
along the road to Emmaus, weeping and
mourning that their Christ was gone, poured
into His very ear the tale of their bereaye-
ment. They told Him of their trouble-that
they had lost Christ; and there he was talk
ing with them! In the midst of their deep
grief there was their victory ,and they did not
know it. There is many a man in embar-
rassment, overwhelmed with care, who does
not know what to do. 1t is the pressure of
Gods hand upon him for the purpose of
betterment. 1t is God present in affairs ::
Christ near 10 him for the sake OF winning
him to Himself.

Baseball Cranks.
Los Angeles Club Has Three Out OF
the Four Best Batters.
Tredway Leads the League, with Denny

GIenaivin Has twenty y-ihree
Doubles to His Credit.

The HERALD this morning presents
the batting records of the California
league for the first half of the season.
The table is a very complete one and
was compiled by member of the
HERALD staff with great care.
Tredway leads the league in batting
with Jerry Denny and Stafford close up.
Denny has come up with rush in the
past month. Hasamaear has also i'm
proved his position and is now fourth
on the list. Wright has also come up
from the tail end and is rapidly going to
where he belongs, at the head OF the
division. Los Angeles has six among
the first twelve which is remarkable
record, to say the least. 1t will also be
noticed that three ouG of the four leaders
are members of the Los Angeles club.
Los Angeles also leads in team batting
with Oakland second and San Jose
third. Dooley and Turner have each
made five home runs, while Denny,
friedman and Carroll each have four to
their credit. Glenalvin has made more
two-baggers than any other player,
while Everett has more trlfies to his
credit than any one else.

The Examiner Discusses the All Absorb

The following from Saturdays Exam
iner is straight from the shoulder and
hits the nail squarely on the head;
The Los Angeles men rested in first
place last night, and this afternoon if
they can take another fall out of the
Dukes they will go home victors in the
opening half of the championship race.
Ii the Dukes win Michael and his fol-
lowers will hold the high hand, not be-
cause they can play better ball than Los
Angeles, but because game the south
ern men had honestly won was taken
away from them for the reason that one
OF the open stands at Los Angeles pro-
jected about fourteen inches into fair
ground. On this account the Oakland
manager entered protest. He admitted
that his team had been defeated fairly,
and that if there had been no stands at
all on the ground in question his men
could not have won.
A long. distance decision by baseball
autocrat who did not underHtand the
situation, and perhaps did not care to,
took this game away from Los Angeles
and gave it to Oakland.
And that is how San Jose and Los An
geles have been playing see-saw for first
place this week.
Van Derbeck has objected strenuously
to the taking away OF a game that tax es
from him first place unless his men win
again today, but he has been overruled
by his fellow magnatea In desire to
make the race close.
Then these same magnates wander
aronnd irving to find some cause for the
lack of public interest in baseball.

spaniards as shopIifters.

Spaniards are now said to be most
predominant among the criminals ar
rested for stealing in large shops or
pocket picking on race courses or at
great public gatherings. Several Ibe-
rians have been caught purse snatching
at the Gingerbread fair, and there have
just appeared before the police court
two men and two women from over the
Pyrenees who practiced shoplifting on
large scale. The Spaniards, who had
been suspected of pocket picking in the
Jardin discrimination, were dogged by
a detective, who saw them enter the
Grands Magasins du Louvre. They
drove to the place in hired victoria
the jehu of which wss one Of the men.
After having remained for awhile in the
shop they saw that they were being
watched, so they left the place, entered
their vehicle and were conveyed to the
Printemps.
Thither the detective followed them
and although he had no ocular proof
that the Spaniards stole anything he ar
rested the lot, the driver of the victoria
being seized by policeman who had re-
ceived instructions to observe his move
ments. Under the cushions of the ve-
hicle were found three large pieces of
silk which had been stolen from the
Louvre shops and were valued at a little
over forty pounds. s.-London Telegraph
