ASTRONOMY IN 4 BALLOON.

Paris correspondence of The London Telegraph.
Ladies are going in eagerly for ballooning. and
are showing a thorough Zest for aerial expedI-
tiDnS. Some feminine aeronautS journey IN the
air for pleasure others on scientific investigation
bent. Among the latter is Miss Klumpke or the
Paris Observatory, who went off in balloon TO
observe the eclipse of the sun, and VINO mas no"
returned by rail to the metropolis from Laroche,
halfway to Dion, where her aerial trip had been
brought to a safe conclusion AS regards sclen-
tifc observation of Mondays phenomenon, how
ever. the journey did not prove very successful.
The balloon started rather too late from Paris,
barely an hour before the eclipse was due TO
commence and did not rise sufficiently hlgn
above the clouds in time for useful study or the
SIMS corona as had been intended, the progress
of the ascension having been unusually. SLOW,
owing doubtless to atmospheric conditions Inc
elevation reached was only three ana nan
kilometres. or less than one mile and a quarter,
whereas Miss KIumpke has now come 20 the
conclusion that under any circumstances balloon
obst-rva tons of solar phenomena Will generally
require a height to be obtained OF at least nNe
kilometres AT this elevation the woman astron-
omer is of the opinion that IT will be an easy
matter to obtain during aeronauuc expeditions
photographs Of the sun OF remarkable excellence
and Of great scientific value.
Miss Klumpke's expedition the other day has
by no means, however proved useless as regards
astronomic observations, although the lnGne-
date object of the ascension was not dlldlIeu.
Some very interesting meteorological data were,
it appears, obtained. and experiments made IN
the etudV Of atmospheric phenomena, which VIII

NOW LONDON OPERA DATES ARE FIXED.

From The London Chronicle
Paradoxical as it seems il is the tail of the
orera which Wags the head. Athuush it is by
no means generally known, ii is the date of the
closing Of the season which determines the com
mencemrDt and not, with most other things.
the date OF the commencement which determines
the end GoodWoOd is in fact, the event which
settles the matter, il is tradition which is
vigorously observed that the final curtain shall
be rung down the operate season in the

to be later than usual; hence the apparent late

Troy, New York, Special One Of the
most enjoyable excursions Of the sea-
sou was that given by the Presbyterian
church OF Troy July IL, to C0Iey Grove,
53 miles down the Hudson. The day
was peBfect, and a jOIlier crowd was
never gathered together on the bIlIoWy
waves. Nearly 400 hundred persons
took advantage Of the trip. A splendid
orchestra was aboard ana furnished
music OF kind that kept the feet of
the brethren and sisteren busy during
the whole two hours ef the delightful
ride. A committee of ladies from the
church furnished a paiatable and sub.
stantial dinner and sold out everything
IN the eating line before the barge
reached Its destlnatiOn, and were
Obliged to Teple0ish their stock at Oat-
skill, which shared the same fate on
the ap trip. The committee appeared
to be pleas ed with this food famine
their smiles were beatific, Rev, Mr..
Boldly, pa tor of the church and At
tOrney Fred Chew and other gentlemen
connected with the committee were
untITing in their efforts TO promote the

The two former gentlemen were quite
exhausted carrying around the great
load of bills and silver which were
poured into their cspacious grips. The
