Ha Was tho First Aerona'it to Lose His Lifs From a Balloon, and Ha Was Dashed to Death With a Com panion From a Height of 1,700 Feet, Jean Fraucols Tihitre de Ko'Jor. who v:is born at Metz iu lToG and who was killed, a martyr to his zeal, by a fall from his balloou at Boulogne, France, June ID, 171)3, was the first aeronaut to lose bis life in the dangerous work of mastering the air. I'ilatre de Kozier, who had made ascents in the Mourgaltier balloon, de termined to solve the question of bal loons as mediums for carrying passen gers and could think and dream of nothing but how he could fashion a machine that would carry him on an aerial voyage. When bis balloon was finished lie made some twenty-three ascents, nearly always alone, but occa sionally accompanied by the Marquis l'Ar!:mdes, a brave soldier and one who had faith in Tilatre's ideas. The balloon was always held captive by strong cords. Whenever he went up there was a crowd to watch him. One clay there was a thrilling moment. The balloon drifted toward some high trees, and it seemed inevitable that the tissues would be torn by the branches and Tilatre 0 ashed to the ground. They saw the young man calmly throw a bunch of straw on his fire aud quickly pour over it two small bottles of oil. Instantly the fierce heat sent the bal loon up safely, and it swept beyond the danger line of the trees. A mighty shout went up from the crowd, and when he came down I'ilatre had an ovation. He now, felt ready to make his grand experimental trial trip, but the king would not allow him to go, as he feared to lose so brave and scientific a man. Pilatre was in despair, a"ud at length the king said that he would give him the opportunity to test the safety of his balloon In the following way: He would give full pardon to any two criminals who were willing to go up in it, provided Pilatre did not him self go. The scientist was very angry. He eaid: "What: Shall vile criminals, foul murderers, men rejected from the bos- the first to navigate the air? Never .while Pilatre de Bozier draws breath!" After repented prayers for permis sion to make his experiment he ap pealed to the influence of the Duchess de Polignac. the governess of the royal children. To her petitions the Man juis d'Arlandes added his and asked to be allowed to accompany Pilatre. iAt length consent was obtained. On Nov. 21, 17S3. Pilatre and the marquis made an ascent from the gar dens of the Chateau de la Muette. in the Bois. They sailed safely across the Seine, over the Hospital For Old Sol diers, over the Military school and .landed about five miles from Paris. JTheir return was greeted with wild enthusiasm. The marquis rode back, but IMlatre tad to go first to bis house and get a coat, for some one had stolen his In the mixup of their coming down, when the balloon, of course, collapsed. Pilatre now announced that he would cross the channel from Boulogne to England. A wealthy Frenchman ad vanced the money to construct an Im proved machine that he was certain could stay In the air as long as neces sary. This new Invention was a bal loon filled with hydrogen gas. Under Jt was a cylinder by which he expected to rarefy the air contained In It bo that lie could either ascend or descend eas ily and so reach currents of air that would take him In any desired direc tion. It was five months before there came a day suitable for making the aerial trip. A physician who loved adventure and believed in the success of the ex. l"eriment went with him from Bou logne. They cut the cords that held the bal looa at 7 o'clock in the morning. The ascent was majestic, and when at a beight of 200 feet the balloon swept Into a current of air that took It to ward the channel. Suddenly a cross current swept It back. Filatre hastened to let some cold air Into the cylinder and In some way made a rent in the balloon. They were 1.7' tit feet high, and Instantly they were dashed to the earth, mangled and crashed frightfully. France Mill rei. lembers his enthnsi nstie faith In his , scientific efforts, and In many places are memorials and in f trI:itio:is that perpetuate his fame. Boston Globe. MRS.

"Ethel, don't y.i go up to the house. said the moon faced woman coming out on the porch of the farmhouse, "'Twill only harrow your feelings. "It seems like shirking to let you go for me," said Ethel Sturgis. "but I do dread to see the familiar things again.' "I'll co to town and get that new auctioneer and drive bin) to your house to tag the things. Tomorrow I'll go to tho auction and finish the business, and you won't have to go." "You have been so kind to us, Mrs. Lake," said Ethel wistfully as the comely, good natured woman slapped the reins over the broad backed horse and drove down the road, Then the girl returned to the house and vigorously applied herself to household tasks. She dtred not be idle long enough to think and remember It was two years since she and her fa- titer had left the little town in the cast and bought the farm that was to briRg them prosperity. Things had gone very wrong from the start. A cloudburst, the Hessian fly, her fa ther's illness and the failure of a bank brought about the loss of the farm All they had left was a forty acre piece. Their household goods were to fce auctioned on the morrow to enable them to buy the stock and implements for their little remnant of land. Their kind hearted neighbor had Invited them to remain at her house while the sale was in progress, and she insisted that they continue to accept her hto- p.itality during the construction of tho little cabin her father purposed to build on the "forty." Toward eveniug Mrs. Lake returned from her expedition. "We got them all tagged. Ethel." she said cheerfully. "That auctioneer's a dandy. 1 got him interested in your pa. telling him what chunks your bad luck had come In." Ethel winced.

"If only you could have brought yourself." continued the loquacious woman, "to have taken Austin Hobert. He's so well fixed and so kind. He's Just wild over you." "I wouldn't marry a man for those reasons." said Ethel. "Well, he Isn't so bad looklng-one eye Just a mite off and his legs aren't quite true. But you can't have every thing. Sometimes I think you have had a love affair and been crossed. Ethel, ro let such a fine chance go by." The girl smiled faintly. "I told the auctioneer about you and how you helped your pa and kept bis spirits up, and be said you must be plucky. Ethel wondered vaguely If she had confldea In him regarding Austin Ho bert also. "It doesn't matter, though." she thought sadly. "Nothing does now." The next day when Mrs. Lake re turned from the auction she was in a state of jubilance aud escitement. "Oh, Ethel, the things brought twit what your pa thought they would. Ilere Mr. Sturgis, the auctioneer sent you this check." Walter Sturgis took the check and glanced at It eagerly. His face flushed, and be looked curiously at his daughter. "How much is It. fa'her?" nsked Ethel, extending her hand for the check. But be had stowed the check, care fully away In bis pocket, and. naming the amount, he left the room. "Oh." she exclaimed thankfufly.

But they are Incorrigibly lu.y and seldom Indulge iu night attack. When they attack in force the horsenieu usually give a lift to the foot soldiers who ac company them or allow them to run alongside and hold on to a stirrup Irou. The mounted men theu make u charge, wheel round and retire aud make way for the footmen, who crawl along the ground, almost invisible, and who rise to the attack If they come within strik ing distance of the enemy. As a rule, the Biliiuns prefer to lure detached parties into an ambush or defile und thus Inflict heavy loss upon them. The! mounted men seldom dismount to fire, and their firing, being from the sad dle. Is very Inaccurate. Should the ad vance of the white troops be slow or hesitating the Moors effect a bold combination between horsemeu aud footmen nnd generally succeed In in flicting heavy losses ou their'enemy. The prime tactics of the Moors are to delay the advance of an enemy as much as possible by mounted rille tire until they can discern its extent and direction and subsequently to try en veloping the advancing force. The tribes also Indulge In sniping, but not to a very great extent, and they also fight Individually. They do not neglect opportunities for stratagem aud can effect some very clever ruses. They are also guilty of abusing the services of the white flag in action. The Moorish intelligence system is an excellent one, and the tribes are seldom without information regarding the movements of an enemy. They have also an excellent system of sig naling at night by means of small fires dotted about the hills and ravines, which are obscured and revealed In accordance with an ingenious code of signals known to themselves.

Addington Bruce in Success Magazine, that dreams have stimulated men to re markable Intellectual achievements and have even supplied the material for these achievements. Thus Cole ridge composed "Kublal Khan" In a dream. Tartlnl got his "Devil's So nata" from a dream In which the devil appeared and challenged him to a mu sical competition. It was a dream that gave Voltaire the first canto or nis Henriade." and Dante's "Divlna Com- medla" Is likewise said to have been Inspired by a dream. Many novelists on their own admis sion have obtained the plots for some of their best works from materials provided In dreams. A particularly Impressive Instance is that of Robert Louis Stevenson, whose "Chapter on Dreams" In his book "Across the riains" should be read by all who would learn what dreams can do for a man intellectually. The solution of baffling mathematical problems, the Ideas necessary to complete some In vention, have been supplied by dreams. Occasionally the dreamer has been known to rise In his sleep and jot down tho Information thus acquired. In such cases he usually forgets all about the helpful dream and on awak ing Is greatly surprised at finding the record he has made of it. which shows that as with the visions so potently nfluenclng health It is possible for dreams to aid a man in an Intellectual way without his being consciously aware of them.
