Fought Duel in Balloon.

AS we know. the successful traverse
of the channel by Blanchard led to a
veritable aerostatic craze in France.
The height of the craze occurred in a
balloon duel in 1908. Two Parisians.
NJ Grandpri and NJ. Pique. were aspi-
rants for the favors Of Mile. Tirevit 1t
was agreed that to settle the dispute
the aspirants should fight a balloon
duel, the lady to favor the successful
one. Two balloons were constructed
and on the appointed day. surrounded
by an immense throng in the Jardin des
Tuileries, Grandpri and Pique. ac-
tered the car Of their balloons. The
rivals were to fire at the balloons. not
at the persons, when arrived at half a
mile in air and at eighty yards apart.
They were to fire with blunderbusses.
The ropes were cut and the ascension
began. At a certain signal Pique fired.
but missed the balloon. Grandpri then
fired, with the result that a great rent
was made in his adversary's balloon.
which was dashed to earth. killing
both it's occupants. Grandpri continued

cheers of the spectators and Mile.

There are unnumbered claimants for
the glory of the discovery Of aerial navi-
cation. The perfection of the art, the
means of directing the movements of
balloon against contrary winds, belongs
manifestly first of all to M. Dupuy de
Loine, celebrated French naval engi-
neer. born at Ploemur. in the Morbihan.
and who was also the first to construct
an iron-clad ship.
NJ. Dupuy de Loine submitted a note
to the Academy of Sciences of the lpsti-
tute de France in December, 1871, Oh the
subject of aeroStat with screw propeller.
This note, which was read in session
February ). 1872, contains in detail in
formation which has served as success
full model and guide for the present diri-
gible since developed by Renard, Santos
and Vanniman.
Two principles of aerial navigation are
being experimental actually. the one of
a corps lighter than air, the dirigibie.
the other of a corps heavier than air,
the aeroplane. The honor of the dis
covery of the latter principle belongs in
disputably to Henri Giffard, La Landella
and Nadar.
The 2Sth of July, 1S;3 Nadar invited
to his salons, Boulevard des Capucines
the elite of Paris and the press for the
purpose of discussion of the question of

Expenses Less by $500, 900.

The running expenses of the bureau and
agencies decreased nearly s2O0.COO during
the past year, 1851 73 being required
to carry on the work during the year.
The number of pension certificates
issued during the year was 1922 This
is the smallest number issued in any
one year for the last ten years. The
decrease is largely due TO the fact that
nearly all of the surviving soldiers and
sailors of the civil war are now more
than sixty-two years of age. and few
claims are being filed by them under
the act of June -. 1890.
Out of the eighty-nine cases present
ed to the Department of Justice for
prosecution on account of offenseS
against the pension laws, indictments
were found in Seventy-one cases. Sixty
one cases were brought to trial during
the year, and convictions were secured

REPORT is MADE

While the number of pensioners on the
rolls of the United States decreased dur
ing the past fiscal year by more than
$1,000 the average annual value of each
pension at the close of the year was
slightly more than 81 greater than a
year previously. when 1t was $169.S2, &C
cording to the annual report of James d.
Davenport, commissioner of pensions,
made public yesterday.
The running expenses of the pension bu-
reau and its agencies during the year, the
report shows, were less than at any other
time during the last twenty-seven years,
the amount expended for this purpose in
1883, when the number of pensioners was
only slightly above the 100000 mark, be-
ing only about $4,000 less than in 1910,
when the number of pensioners exceeded
