1t was my good fortune to visit the

balloons but the actual making OF them.
Germany's first notable experiments
were with the Humboldt, balloon to

explosion and complete destruction of
this air-fiier taught aeronauts of all
countries valuable lesson, and they
have changed not alone the material
out of which war balloons are made,
but even the method of making them.
The first problem that confronts the
military aeronaut in the making of his
balloon Ia the estimate to fraction Of its
area, conforming this to the height in

This fixed, the problem Of weight is
next solved. By this the aeronaut

STATE SPECIALS.

One of Berrien's clever citizens finds
himself in rather embarrassing posi-
ton, says the Triton Gazette. Some
time since it became necessary, in the
course of business, for him to require a
mortgage from neighbor. The paper
was duly executed, witnessed by mag
istrate and placed on the county records.
Now the citizen learns, much to his dis
may, that the signatures have been put
in the wrong place and that he had given
the other man mortgage against him
self of the most binding character,
and had it placed on the county records.
He is now dwelling in hourly fear of his
debtor suing him on the mortgage and
collecting the full amount.

one of the birds he had shot. The snake
was lying with its head and tail close

back and shot it, shooting it through the

hence he did not know how many rat

platform Mr.. MCCARTHY, the populist
candidate, has taken heart and now be-
lieves that he will be able to give Con

strong in the seventh, and the populists

SPAIN MAD AGAIN.

The wires tell us that the Spaniards
are getting very mad again. They are
swearing vengeance because that en-
blem of tyranny, the Spanish flag, was
handled somewhat carelessly at Key
West a few days ago. Now these

that pretty quick. Spain is degener-
ate nation of cutthroats who for years
have lived on the means derived from
robber taxes wrung from Cuba and
other dependent possessions. The

nation from the face of the globe, and

the task in a more artistic manner than
