6AAsHING THROUGH TELEGRAPH WIRES.
two miles; the air had the pure but
: thin feeling of an Alpine mountain top.
There was no sight. no noise save the
patter of the feet of two pigeons on
the summit of the balloon. They had
refused to leave US, and, after hover
Ing like land birds about a ship, had
settled on our rigging.
In the utter silence of these heights
the novice, awed by the sublimity of
the situation, has no thought of
danger. The vast. sightless, silent
void in which the bubble hung self
poised impressed the mind with sense,
not of violence, but of calm. Yet dam
ger there was, and that most imminent.
Anxiously scanning the barometer, my
companion announced that we were
falling. Selling bag of tissue papers
be threw handful from the car. In
stantly they disappeared, but ADORE
us. We were rushing down to the city
ut an angle of about forty-five degrees.
Now the two pigeons left the balloon,
and even this slight diminution of
weight gave us short respite. As we
approached the earth we struck the
ground breeze, which we saw would
carry us yearly the entire length of the
city. Quickly divesting ourselves of
our coats and waistcoats, we took
rapid inventory of the pitifully small
remainder of ballast, with view to
keeping the air ship afio2t as long as
possible.
To novice who has ever gone down
a toboggan slide the horror of that
rush over the spires and chinneys Of
the great city may be dimly shown il
ne can imagine his sensations in
creased a thousand fold. Collision
with building meant almost sure
death, while the speed was SO great
that landing in boulevard was an i'm
possibility. The roar of one street as
it grew less distinct was quickly fol-
lowed by the roar of the next, as the
excited and interested Parisians
watched our fight. Several times we
avoided collision only by throwing out
q coat, basket, or bottle, the balloon
each time taking slight bound and
clearing the obstacle.

Hero is singular fact that reflects
rather badly upon our lords and mas
tiers. Among the insurance people
there is constant controversy as to the
ndvisability of taking risks on women's
evils Very conservative companies
refuse them in toto, while Others issue
such policies under certain reserva-
lions and restrictions. For example,
mo company will insure q wife's life in
favor Of her husband. while nine
senths of the policies issued to men
are for the benefit of their wives.
When cross-questioned on this point
an officer Of q great life insurance con-
aern avaded an answer, but finally con-
fesscd that they feared men would
abuse their opportunities

considering them great delicacy.
Some of the stories related of the
strength of the jewish are very re-
markable, and it is said that boats

is usually used in catching the Jewish.
This fish frequently floats on the sur

and is sometimes shot instead of being
harpooned. The Jewish is probably
the largest food fish known.

and gained distinction as represents
tive of his native state in the lower
house Of parliament in the days Of the
empire. His course there as q repub.
hcan in a very small minority was
moderate and distinguished for con-
summate tact and dignity. He made
good use of his thorough knowledge of
parliamentary laws and usages, ard
employed his ability IS a debater to
good advantage for his cherished re-
publican principles.
In 1859, when the republic was de-
clared, Moraes was assigned the diff
cult position of governor of San Paulo,
which state he organized against the
wealthy and influential monarchical
party, which, though now in the MI
nority, still shows formidable strength,
defraying, as it does, the larger part of
the expenses Of the revolution that
started in Rio Gronde do Sui. In 1890
San Paulo sent him to the constituent
assembly, called for the purpose Of
promulgating the republics constitu-
ton, and he was unanimously elected
president by that body. He was then
elected vice-president of the senate, Of
which, owing to Peixoto's elevation to
the chieinagistracy of the nation, he
has been the only actual presiding Of
fcer. Minister Nandenca, who was .
fellow-student in law with President
elect Moraes, describes him as appar-
emily a man Of most gentle nature. but
in reality veiy energetic and uncom-
promising. though just, impartial and.
above all, tactful. He will not take
Office until November IS unless Peixoto
resigns in the interests of peace on or
after May 8, when congress assemblies.

GAVE THEM A SCARE

Pleased-A Dangerous Drop
from the Clouds.

Robert Y. V. Sewell, in the ARTISTS
Adventures Series" in the Century, de.
ecribes his first and last balloon as
sension.
It was in 1885, when Mr.. Sewel1 was
a student at the Academic Julien, that
he made his venture, taking advantage
Of a public ascension. When the artist
and the aeronaut entered the basket
the ropes were cast OF.
We did not rise, and being informed
that we must leave behind either a
sandbag or my heavy winter overcoat
I heroically sacrificed the latter.
Standing in the basket tossed it to a
friend, when, presto! he as well as the
the rest of the world sank out of sight
At that moment sat down. l can still
recall the howl of derision and delight
which greeted this commonplace act.
The cries of the spectators were sue
ceeded by most profound silence.
broken only by the fearsome creaking
Of the willow basket as my companion
leaned from side to side.
/ was soon aware of another sound.
to which my ears seemed slowly to be-
come attuned-the low, mufled roar Of
the great city, which produced a con-
tinued note almost as as a must
cal tone, but lower in pitch than any
note of the musical scale.
The barometer soon showed an ele-
walton of half mile, and, looking over
the side of the car Il was still seated on
the fioor) saw the whole of Paris pass
beneath me-the public buildings, the
Madeline, with its bright copper-green
roof, the toy cathedral of Notre Dame
on its little island. The distance was
SO great that all giddiness was gone,
and the roar of the city was hushed.
Throwing out much of our store of
sand we rose into great cumulus clouds.

grave of the late Prince Esterhazy
was his dog Nero The faithful an
