Whence comes the system Of trial
by jury? In the opinion Of Bour-
guignon, a French jurist, ~its origin
loses itself in the night Of time
Blackstone speaks Of it as "a trial
hat hath been used time out Of
mind" Reeves thinks it was intro
duced into England BY the Nor
mans, who themselves obtained It
from northern Europe. It is certain
that the Scandinavians had an es-
tablished jury system more than a
thousand years ago. The Normans
on their arrival in England found
prevailing there the ordeal Of hot
irons, which enforced the carrying
Of n pound Of heated metal By the
accused for a given distance, and
the ordeal Of hot water, in which By
way Of variation a stone. had to be
withdrawn from a pitcher Of boiling
water. No attempt at reform in
this direction was made by William
the Conqueror.

The first balloon to carry living
freight was in September, 1888,
when Joseph Montgolfer sent up q
sheep, a duck and a cock, all Of
which landed safely. This balloon
vas very gaudily decorated. The
first human being to ascend in q
balloon was a young French nat
uralist, 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 Ere was kept burn
ing in a brazier suspended beneath
up in the air.
