 A problem which has always confront ed balloonists, and which, I am given to understand by M Jacques Faure. would require about a couple of days to thor oughly explain, is that known as "dilata- tion,' and which may be briefly described as the effect produced upon the gas in a balloon after it has been long in the air bysthe various changes in temperature 1t meets with This problem M Louis Goddard, one of the four balloon construc- tors of Paris, claims to be largely solved. In conversation with him on balooning in general he sketched for the benefit of Herald readers the main outline of his method.
 Every one knows the ordinary balloon. It Is made either of cotton or some form of silk, according to the means of the aeronaut and when treated with the tra- dtional coat of varnish has dark yellow color.
 As the balloon ages so does this dark yellow color become more pronounced, un- til after certain time the balloon is practically black. Now M. Goddard argued dents wear light-colored clothing so that the rays of the sun may be reflected. Black clothes would have just the con trary effect.
 Therefore it seems reasonable to sup

people may become accustomed to aerial voyages in advance. so to speak, and tho more people there are capable of under taking such voyages and having an Inter- est in them the sooner the day will arrive when airships will become as common as tramcars.
 We are fast approaching tho day when arships will become thoroughly practica- ble. The Lebaudy alrship seems to have been devolped on sound lines, and the series of successful experiments recently made convince me that she will largely serve as model for future craft. There is just one point which will have to bs thoroughly solved before the airship be- comes really useful for military purposes. It has been discovered that at any height below six hundred metres II Is compara- lively easy to bring a balloon and con- sequently an airship, to the ground by means of rifle fire. Above six hundred metres it is exceedingly difficult 10 do so.

pose that a balloon clothed after the manner oI d man in hot countries would be less likely to suffer from the effect of changes In the temperature and from exposure to the sun. The difficulty was to discover some way of treating the ma terial of the balloon to give 1t this light color without adding in an alarming de- gree to its weight, and also to provide surface which would not readily become black by exposure. After numerous ex- periments he made and patented an alu- minum paint which he believes to be largely what Is required.
 For this paint" he said, 'I claim great deal, but not more than my expert ments warrant me doing I have estab- lished that it dimnishes the absorbent powers of the material treated, that 1t lessens the heating of the gas and that the 'dilatatlon falls about fifty per cent. Thus there results d saving of ballast and very probably a considerable extension of the duration of an ascent. Other points have been established, but these arc the chief"
 Parisians had an opportunity of seeing one of these balloons at the exhibition previous to the race from the Tuileries Gardens few weeks ago. The color Is distinctly aluminium and the process has been termed "radio-solaire" There can be little doubt that M. douHfu Sup- stantlates his claims he will have the gratitude of every aeronaut The experi- ments he has conducted In exposing ma terlal treated with his preparation for months together gave considerable conf1- dence, but the matter will be very effec- lively settled shortly. when some prolong- ed ascents and aerial voyages will be un- dertaken.
 Boon to Balloonlng.
 M Louis Goddard was born to ballooning, so to speak, and 1t was his father who successfully carried governmental de- spatches from Paris during the war of 1S70 skilfully avoiding the besieging Ger man lines He has made hundreds of ascents himself, and has made almost a speciality of balloon construction from a military point of view.
 Speaking of the growth of the sport he remarked: In developing the sport of ballooning we are gradually bringing about that happy epoch when man shall control his paths through the air just as he does now through the deep. Balloon ing is in itself the one method by which

Cana of Cutthroats Named Themselves
 "Five Points"

Paris Correspondence London Telegraph,
 The "Five Points," the meaning or
 whose name is unexplained are cheer-
 full gang of cutthroats just discovered.
 Their dark deeds read like gory stories of
 pirates of old. A young fellow of twenty,
 arrested for having shot down and half
 killed a woman whom he had never seen
 before in the Boulevard de Clchy, where
 the now fashionable Montmartre music
 halls ares told the police, All l meant to
 do was to quality" On further inquiry
 1t was found that he was a probationary
 member of the Five Points gang. lie
 had been accepted as a candidate Tor fuii
 honors five months ago, and had gone
 about with the gang on business. But ne
 lacked the necessary qualification for com
 plete membership The first rule or the
 cutthroats club is that "every full mem
 her must have at least once killed or at tempted to kill some man or woman Robbery, burglary, arson and other minor crimes qualify you for only the probation ary stage, that reached by our hero.
 For five months he vainly tried to screw his courage to the striking place. and was
 despised as being too full of the milk or human kindness by the band or brothers, for whom he acted as mere rag not on A footing of equality with them. At last, taunted by them to desperation, he said: "I will bear 1t no longer; will kill some body this instant and woman passing by him ns he spoke. he added. Here
 goes!' and fired his revolver point blank at her temple She fell. he ran, but was caught by the police.
