scientific compromising and to the actual
medicinal value Of its ingredients. The
publication of the names of the ingredt-

ODD THINGS ABOUT BALLOONS
What Government Examination by
SchooIboys DiscIoses.

The French schoolboys had, recently
to pass a government examination at
the close of the primary course. The
invention of balloons was the subject
given. Balloons were invented"
wrote one boy, ''by the brothers Mont
golfer, who were paper makers.
They then set light to the paper, and
the balloon went up" Another boy
included a treatise on ballast in his
essay, with disastrous consequences
When the aerostats-such being the
name given to men who ride in bal
loons-wish to come down they fetch
some sand and gravel and put it in
the balloon. The latter is thus rend-
cred heavier and more elongated"
A pithy statement made is, 'the aero
naut places himself within the bal
loon, the basket being used for pro-
visions"
