The First Balloons.

The first balloon to carry living
freight was in September, l7S3,
when Joseph Montgoller sent up a
sheep, a duck and a cock, all OF
which landed safely. This balloon
was very gaudily decorated. The
first human being to ascend in a
balloon was a young French nat
aralist, NJ. Francois Pilatre De Ro-
zier, who used a captive balloon for
his first attempts. Then, on Nov.
81, 1888, he and the Marquis OAR
landes made the first trip in a free
balloon. This was made in a hot
air balloon, and fire was kept burn
ing in brazier suspended beneath
while up in the air.

ball through for a field goal the momen,
II was kicked.
Swat merely smiled when told of this
dastardly plot and with a Whispered
word dismissed his ever ready secret
service men.
There was . great shout as Swat ap-
peared on the field In the second half
and by degrees he vas gradually driving
back the 0arfsh line. Finally the ball
was ninety yards away from the goal
and then It was that the conspirators
decided to ring in the trick ball. As
soon as the Garfish back notified the
referee OF his Intention OF trying for
a goal Swat dropped back near the
goal posts presumably to make a
catch.
There was a deadly silence as Steve
Whangfoot. the Garish punter. stuck
his toe into the ball and started 1t
toward the Nettle Rash goal like a bull
let. Ten. twenty. thirty, forty and hfty
yards 1t sped on. Then. when II looked
like a certain goal. a most peculiar thing
happened. There was the sharp crack
Of a rife In the distance. Swat had CIV
en- the signal to his old sleuth. The bull
let from the rifle sped to Its mark with
deadly precision. The piece OF metal
and the lodestone were shot from the side
of the ball. The bullet then tore through
the ball and the rushed out with a
hiss. The collapsed ball. instead Of con-
tinuing its flight, dropped squarely into
the outstretched hands Of one s. MILL
gan. without further ado Swat rushed
across the field. trampling down tack
lers n brushing ends aside until he
had planted the wilted pigskin squarely
between the goal posts. 1t was impos-
sible to make a goal with the collapsed
PAIL but five points we're enough and the
Nettle Rashes had won.
