Eighty-hve years ago there died In
Paris, Blanchard, the first man to gain
celebrity as a balloonist, says the New
York Mail and Express. He was born
in 1888 and before the balloon was In.
vented he had ravigated the air in an
atmospheric machine of his own inven-
ton, which was propelled with oars
and which attained height above
ground Of about eighty feet. Blanch-
ard made his first ascent in a balloon
at Paris, March 2, 1854. On January 7,
1855, he crossed the English channel
in a balloon, accompanied by DR.. JET
fries. Under the circumstances it was
q feat Of great daring. The aeronauts
the trip ended cast away everything
but the basket under the balloon, and
were about to cut 1t away when they
we're carried over the town Of Calais
and finally dropped in forest. The
officials Of Calais gave Blanchard a
dinner, presented to him papers Of citi-
zenship in gold box, gave him $1,000
for his balloon and a pension of SIPS
yearly. The king Of France also pen
stoned him. Blanchard boasted that
he had risen $4,000 feet higher than
any aeronaut Of his time. He made
sixty ascensions, the last one causing
his death. His wife continued the
business after him and was killed by
fall from a balloon in 1919. Albert Of
Saxony, a Dominican monk, is credited
with having formed the first correct
idea of building balloons early in the
fourteenth century, but his IDEAS never
took practical shape. While the scien-
lists were working OH the question In
1888 the brothers Montgolfsr, paper
makers, near Lyons. made ano sent up
the first balloon on June s. This bal
loon was made of linen, was 315 feet in
circumference and rose 1000 feet. It
was filed with heated air. About three
months later Prof. Charles sent up his
balloon, called a "Charliere." It trav.
eled some miles from the starting and
fell in village. The peasants re-
sarded it as living Monster, and foil
upon it with pitchforks and fails and
tore it to pieces, to the loss and disgust
Of It's owner.
The first living things to leave the
earth in a balloon were a sheep, a hen
and duck. They landed safely ano
che sheep was found grazing. The first
ascent in hydrogen balloon was made
by Prof. Charles In Paris. Dec. l. 17S2

Pepys twice refers to such. On July 8,
1862. when "at the Dolphin with the
