AERoNAUT LIONS
Pair Of Them Made Balloon Ascension
and Became Very
SI~k
Paris Correspondence New York Sun

Paris Correspondence New York Sun.
M. Henri, lion tanner, accompanied by
MN. WWeillat and Du Chateau,
aeronauts. assembled from Roubaix in a
balloon with a special car, in which were
two lions, the men sitting on a platform
above.
The animals displayed little interest at
the outset, settling themselves com
fortably, and even seeming to enjoy the
trip, but when the balloon was released
and shot upward they became terrified,
crouched at the bottom of the car and
whined piteously.
Soon afterward a sudden downcrash Of
gas nearly suffocated both men and ami
mails M. Du Chateau tainted and the
others were made i'll.
The lions lay motionless, and when the
balloon descended they were stretched on
the floor, apparently lifeless. They slow
ly recovered, however. Restoratives were
necessary for M. Du Chateau.
