Cyrano de Bcrgerac uyrano wrote a numuer or 1 fantastic books which were consulted ! Cyrano wrote a number of by Swift for his Gulliver," by Voltaire I r," by Voltaire j and by Fonten-' ft his "Micromefiras," lie for his "Mondes." In the most 1 popular of these, a "Trip Through the. Moon," the hero is made to ascend from the earth by means of bladder filled with hot sir. The M on tgol tiers improved upon this notion by substituting one globe of silk for several bladders; in other respects their balloon was an adaptation of Bergerac's idea, for it had an aperture at its base into which hot air roe, front a charcoal stove in the ear. The first hot-air balloon was sent up on the Ath of June, 17BH, without a ear. In August the same year an engineer named Charles started a balloon in (fated with hydrogett gas. In September thu Montgoltiers launched a new fire-balloon with a car In which were placed a sheep, acock and a duck, Who all returned safe to land; and iu October the first human aeronaut, M.

The Government ended by losing he interest In experiments which, after so often being proclaimed as successful, ended in disappointment; and nothing but M.

JmericdH Faahim Review. Use ef A re Ik Kxpls rat lens. In three hundred years there bare been some two hundred arctic voyages, for various purpose and with various fates. The Greely exiedition was but one of thirteen expeditions. Five hundred men pasted two winters within the polar circle, and nineteen of them only were lost And Lieutenant Ray says that the result of the observations of all these expeditions will be the doubling of the world's knowledge ef the magnetic forces. That is to say, as Hev. Brooke Herford states in his admirable sermon upon this subject: "Not one of all the thousand and ten thousand craft sailing to ami fro among the many lands of earth but will be a male surer of its com pass, alittleoloaerin Ha reckoning, a little, safer, than it ever was beore." Is this worth noming? Is net the risk, the loss, even amply rcomettedP But also, as Mr. Herford poinbf-ottt, the moral qualities, the patience, the courage, the aelf-tieatal, the faith, the endurance, developed by these Northern researches are incomparable. 'There is simply no other chapter in the history of human doings compared with It Beaide it the ad van-' turns of commerce and conquest look greedy and base, the stories of chivalry are mere tinsel, the long heroism of the Crusades seems a fevered frensy." Cm bono? is not an argument to discourage the resiles soul which the prospect of peril inspires, nor will the pathethi story of the patient and getierouu endurance, amid apparently remediless suffering, which the record of the Gieely expedition disclose diemay or deter ether Greelys from daring the same dangers. The arctic storv is one of the gnifiatt, but It Is also one of ths no West, in the aenahf of human heroism. tfrsa Wmm Curias, MmrjmJ sssaia
