! A PIONEER
AERONAUT
; He Was the First Aeronaut to Lose
His Life From a Balloon, and He
Was Dashed to Death With a Com
panion From a Height of 1,700 Feet.
Jean Francois PJIatre do Itozler, who
was boru at Mutz iti 1700 and who was
killed, a martyr to his zeal, by a fall
from lils balloon at Uoulogue, France,
Juue 1 o, 1 7ik"., was the flrst aeronaut
to lose (lis life In the daugerous work
of mastering the air.
I'llatre de Itozier, who had made
ascents in the Montgalfler balloon, de
termined to solve the question of bal
loous as mediums for carrying passen
gers and could think and dream of
nothing but how he could fashion a
machine that would carry blm.on an
aerial voyage. When his balloon was
finished he made some twenty-three
ascents, nearly always alone, but occa
sionally accompanied by the Marquis
d'Arlaudes, a bravo soldier and ono
who had faith in Pllatre's ideas. The
balloon was always held captive by
stroug cords.
Whenever he went up there was a
crowd to watch him. One day 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
I'llatre dashed to the grouud. They
saw the young mau calmly throw a
bunch of straw ou his lire 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 (he crowd, and
when he caiue down I'llatre had an i
He now felt ready to make Lis
grand experimental trial trip, but the
kiug would not allow him to go, as he
(eared to lose so brare and scientific
i man. Pllatre was hi despair, and at
length the king said that he would
-ive him the opportunity to test the
safety of his balloon in the following
way: lie would give full pardon to any
two criminals who were willing to go
up iu it, provided Pllatre did not him
! self go.
The scientist was very angry. He
said: '"What! Shall vile criminals, foul
murderers, meu rejected from the Itos
om of society, have the glory of being
while rilatre de Itozier draws breath!"
After repeated prayers for permis
sion to make his experiment he ap
pealed to the Influence of the Duchess
de Pollgnac. the governess of the royal
children. To her petitions the Mar
quis d'Arlaiules added his and asked
to be allowed to accompany Pllatre.
At length consent was obtained.
On Nov. 21, 17S3. IMIatre and the
marquis made an ascent from the gar
dens of the Chateau de la Muetto, In
the Bols. They sailed safely across the
I Seine, over the Hospital For Old Sol
diers, over the Military school and
landed about five miles from Paris.
Their return was greeted with wild
enthusiasm.
The tnarquis rode back, but Pllatro
had to go first to his house and get n
coat, for some one had stolen his In
the mlxup of their coming down, when
the balloon, of course, collapsed,
j Pllatre 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
it was a cylinder by which he expected
to rarefy the air contained In it so that
ho could either ascend or descend eas
ily and so reach currents of air that
would take him In any desired dlrec
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
periment vi nt with him from Bou
logne.
They out the cords that held the bul
loon at 7 o'clock in the morning. The
ascent was majestic, and when at a
height 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.
Pilatre hastened to let some cold air
Into the cylinder and In some way
made a rent In the balloon. They were
1.700 feet high, and instantly they
were dashed to the earth, mangled and
crushed frightfully.
France still remembers his enthusi
astic faith in his scientific efforts, and
in many places are memorials and in
scriptions that perpetuate his fame.?

SECRET LOST
In tho early sixties or the last cen
tury the Smithsonian institution was
Infested with rats. Nothing in the
building seemed to be rat proof. They
ate sklus cured with arsenical soap or
table llueu or the couteuts of Professor
Henry's pantry without discrimination.
Every one In the city, from Professor
Henry to the bootblack, bad one sub
ject In common, and that was "rats."
As Professor Henry, who lived In
the cast end of the building, was lis
tening to an account of tho ruin
wrought In his home daring that day
Professor Spencer Balrd walked In
aud said, just as If he had been fol
lowing every word of tho family con
versation, "1 have Just been told that
there is u mau in Philadelphia who
can rid this place of rat.?."
l'rofcssor Henry's e..es expressed
Interest and Incredulity at tho same
moment.
"I have his address here," went on
the assistant secretary. "He calls
himself the 'ratten konlg' and won't
take a ceut If a rat remains and has"?
"We'll seud for him if it takes our
last thousand cents to do it!" said
Professor Henry and laughingly pre
dicted the repetition of the famons old
talc of the Pled I'lper of Hamelln.
Several days later the "rat king"
appeared in Washington. He was al- .
most as short as he was broad and I
wore clothes too loose for description;
they had no shape. He carried a large
oilcloth sack aud a covered basket.
His penetrating blue eyes were almost
covered by shaggy eyebrows, aud his
blond hair bad not been cut, but hag
gled. His mauner was short and
brisk, and he went straight to the
point, talking to Professor Henry In
German.
He declared that not a rat would be
In the building three days hence if bis
directions were obeyed. During that
time he would stay in tho basement
alone; every door was to be locked,
and on no account was ho to be dis
turbed until he gave thorn the signal.
So they left him in absolute darkness
and carried out his directions.
On Sunday morning the queer old
mau emerged from the darkness so
confident of his success that he re
fused to accept the money which was j
his due then and there, but insisted
that Professor Henry mail the check
to him in Philadelphia tho following
week.
"Now you can leave your food in the
basement, and it won't be touched.
And 1 won't take a cent if you are
troubled with rats," were his parting
words.
Cheese and cake wero directly placed
about the building to tempt tbo rats.
Morniug after morning they were
found as they bad been left, and from
that day to this the Smithsonian insti
tution has never been seriously trou
bled with rats. And no ono has ever
found out the secret of the "rat king's"
method.? Youth's Companion.
Washington'* High Priced Shad.
Washington's steward was a man
named Fraunpes, who llltod good liv
ing and with whom Washington con
tinually quarreled about the market
ing. One time be bought a shad in
February, and as Washington saw It
coiuiug into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what flsh It was.
"It is a shad," replied the steward,
"a very fine shad. It was tho only
one in the market, and 1 bought it for
you."
"But what did you pay for It?" said
Washington sternly.
"It is a very fine shad," continued
the steward, "and it Is cooked to a
turn."
"But I want to know the price? the
price!"
"It cost $3." stammered out Frounces.
"Take it away," said Washington as
he raised his hand; "tako it away. It
shall never be said that I set such an
example of luxury and extravagance."
And with that he drovo the steward
j out of the room, and tho shad was
eaten in the servants' kltcheb.
Sha Liked Silk Hosiery.
Susan B. Antbouy was a woman of
simple taste lu dress, but her close
friends knew of one pretty feminine
vanity that she always held to. She
| had a weakness for silk stocking*. Be
ing pressed on one occasion for an W
planation of what most women at one
time regarded as an unnecessary ex
travagance, she laughingly exclaimed:
"Oh, I just love 'em! They are an in
spiration. If I have my silk stockings
on when 1 riso to make an addfew I
feel just as if I am walklfig among
the clouds. They help me to soar
away on flights of eloquence. I
wouldn't be without them."
APPROPRIATION
ton cm MEAT
WASHINGTON. Oct 28? Postmas
ter General Hitchcock has decided
that cats should bo regularly employ
ed In postofflces throught the coun
try. The reason for this is that rats
are doing considerable damage to let
ters and the department's property
and that something must be done Im
mediately to exterminate the rodents.
During the present fiscal year
$1,350 for "cat meat" will be expend- j
ed by the poatofflce department. Cats,
who would llko Jobs with Mr. Hitch
cock will have to pass a civil service
examination, which will consist of
showing whether they are good rat
killers or not.

First Case a Rash Which Itched and
Stung? Threatened Ten Years
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg
?But Both Times the Sufferer's
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
PROVED WELL-FOUNDED
"About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia, I had a
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that I oould not have any peaeo
because of it. I saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of them gave me something that ho
called medicine, but I called it soda
water. I might just as well have
washed in rain-water. Then I got some
Cuticura 8oap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and began to get
better right away. They cured mo and
I have not been bothered with tho itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two yoars ago I had la grippe
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
my leg, which then swelled and began
to break out. It got in pretty bad
shape, so I went to a doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
I used his medicine but it did no good.
So I sent for another set of the Cuticura
Remedies. I used them three times
and cured the breaking-out on my leg.
Now I won't bo without Cuticura.
