BALLOONS.

The first men to fly across the Eng 5ish Channel in a balloon were Blan- chard and Jeffries. two pioneer aero nauts, who performed their epochaI feat 12s years ago to-day, Jan. 2, 17s5. They ascended at Dover and crossed the channel without any mis- hap, descending at Calais. The first flight across the channel in heavier than-air machine was made in 1909 by Bleriot. In the same year Latham made two unsuccessful attempts to perform the same feat. Blanchard, Dne of the participants in the first bal loon trip across the channel. was the inventor Of the first parachute which was successfully used in 17s5. Mme Blanchard was the first woman aero naut to give up her life in the cause of the conquest of the air. Mme Thib1e was the pioneer female aero nanf, making her first aerial trip in 17s4. Blanchard was also the first to make a balloon ascent in America, performing that feat at Philadelphia on Jan. g, 1793. George Washington was among the awed spectators who witnessed the rising of the balloon from the yard of the Quaker City jail. The father of his country was very much interested, and gave the daring Frenchman a passport, that he might receive kind treatment when he reached the ground again.

don, is the recommendation of the

The board, after a careful investi.
CATION Of conditions in the state, want
the farm established for the propo,
cation of quail and ruffled grouse,
commonly known as partridge. 1t is
believed there are large areas in the
state where partridge can be devel-
oped, especially in the sand hills of
Ransom and Rich.and counties, along
the Big and Little Missouri rivers. in
the timbered sections of the bad
lands and possibly at wooded spots
along the James and the Sheyenne
enne rivers. The plan is to breed
these birds, send them to widely sep
arated points and declare an open
season after some years CT protection.
Sportsmen will travel farther to get a
crack at partridge than almost any
other bird for it is regarded as the
climax of high art in bird shooting.
1t is understood these birds will be
distributed as rapidly as funds will

CHARRED BODY
Of A WOMAN
Found Near Mitchell, s. D.; I'm.
beetle Sister Asleep on a
Nearby Couch.

Mitchell, S. d., Dec. 23.--ln a tiny
roOmed farmhouse, a Mitchell doctor
today found the charred body of an
aged woman, Mary Traener, lying on
the floor In the same room the i'm.
becile sister of the dead woman was
asleep on a nearby couch.
In the adjoining room was one
brother of the woman, stone deaf and
suffering from pneumonia. Another
brother, James Traener, was hover
ing about nearly blind from acute al
coholism. The place was reecking
with squa!or and filth.
1t is believed the woman came to
her death when her bed clothing ig.
nited from a lamp placed on the floor
to warm the room. The glare of the
flames awakened the nearly blind
brother, who smothered them with a
blanket and then went back to bed.
1t is thought the accident occurred
,Ibout- 10sSunday night. :;se4
The brother who eXtinguished the
blaze declared he knew his sister was
dead and so thought it unnecessary

an inquest will be ordered in the case,
