A group of aeronauts were telling balloon (tories in the smoking-room of a Obicsgo hotel. Ospt. H. E. Honey? well, who with the "Fielding-Antonio" balloon was Lter to break all long? distance speed records, laughed and a >id: "The gre t Elyot made a balloon as? cent from (Jharlfi-t'io one bot summer alt?rnroo. A thunderstorm came up. Elyot, amid buckets of iain, the rosr ol thunder and the flash of lightning, was blown about like thistledown. Oo toward midnight he found himself over a plantkt<on and threw out his anchor- - a grapnel at the nnd of a long rope. "It happened that a cole red mao had died in one of the huts of this planta? tion. The funeral was :.? take place in the morning. A d zen fiieods af the dead maa sst in the se-ft summer night before the hu', telling ghost stores. "Suddenly, in the darkness above them, they heard strange noises?a flapping of great wings, menacing cries. \cd they saw dimly a formless black shape. "AH but one man ran. This one man, as he cowered on his .stool, had the ill luck to be seized by the grapnel. "The grapnel, goirg at a great pace, whirled bim up four or five feet in the air and jerked h'm along at the rate ol 15 miles cr bo an hour. " 'Ob, massa, massa,' he yelled, squirming and kickiDg in that atrange flight, Tsp not de one! I'se not de cawpse! Dick's in de bouse dab! Io de house dab!'

FRANCE IS SLOWLY DYING. The steadily progressive decline in the birth rate of France is a subject of con? stant pwccupatoii among political economists. Certainly a statistical re? view of the situation published in Opin? ion hy M. de Foville, member of the Institute and president of tbe Acad emnie des Science s Morales et Polltiques, accentuates the national gravily cf the question. The latest figures prove thst France ?? a n-tiion is slowly but surely dying. In 100 vests, the birth rate has fallen from 32 per 100 to 19.7 aod at the present mo* ment, fer the flist time in history, and io France alone among nations, the deaths exceed the birth.
