The announcement that the balloon is destined to play a role in the pre- sent war between the I'niled .States and Spain recalls Ihe aeronautic ex- (leriments made by the French during the great war in 1870 and 1871. As early .is I7U2 balloims were used for military signalling in France. Hut, in our timivi, during the siege of Paris by the German troops frequent at- tempts were made by Frenchmen to communioute with those inside the be- leagured city, and to despatch men anil matter from the capital by means of balloons. In Paris Itself, under the direction of Posluiaster Ram|M>rt, a ballonn iKisI and transport service was establi.shed tor ciarrying persons and Governmental as well as private mail matter from Ihe besieged capital. Am- ong the public men leaving Ihe city in this way, M. ({ambetta will ever be rememliered. Homing pigeons were also .sent by this route to carry back news to Paris. A total of sixty-six balloons, according to Tisandler's "Kn Balloon Pendant le Siege de Paris," left the besieged city, and 168 per- sons, 10.191 kilograms of- jiostal mat- ter, including 3,U00,0(X) letters, 803 hom- ers, five dogs and two boxes of dyna- mite. Were dispatched by the aerial route Of the balloons, fifty-two de- .st-ended in France, five in Belgium, four in Holland, two in Germany, and one in .Norway. Ouly five of them were captured by the Germans and two were never heard of, having been lost in the (wean. Of all voya4{es of that time, howev- er, none could comimre for exciting and iierilou.s iiicidunts with that of the well-known aeronaut, M. Nadar, who left Tours for Paris with im- portant Government despatches at 6 o'olcH'k one fine December morning. At II be was in view of the capital (m the Seine. While floating about a,l)(M) metrt\H above Fort Charenlon, Nadar suddenly discovered a .second lailloon on the horizon. Thinking il to lie one leaviuc Paris, the French aeronaut at once displayed the tricolor of his coun- try, and Ihe other balloon responded by exhibiting I ba same flag. Gradually the two balloons approached one anotb. er, being drawn in the .same direction by the same current of air. When they were separated by only a short dis- tanc-e several explosions were heard. The stranger comuieMced firing shots at Niidar's balloonâ€" the "Intrepide" • whii^h liegan lo descend rapidly. The French flag had by this limit been re- placed in the other balloon by the Prussian colors. The Parisians, who were watching the affair from the forts below, and who now realized the true character and object of Ihe last arrival, cried out that their plucky compatriot was lost. But they were mistaken. Nadar had si'rambled from the car up the network of bis airship after Ibu first shot of Ihe enemy, to stopahole made in the tissue. Presently he de- •••endcd lo the car us the balloon right- ed itself, and throwing out u quantity of bal'ast, cJtussd il to rise higher and higher. Then, seizing bis rifle, be fired shots with rapi<l succession into the Prussian, which sudd<:nly split and sunk to the earth. On reaching the ground a detachment of Lhiaus, who had been watching Ihu combat from the plain, picked, up tiie German aero- nauts and rode off to the Prussian outiioslg. Nadar then alighted in safe- ty within thu girdle of the Paris forts meeting with an enlhu8i,-istio ovation (or his victory in the first balloon di^el. AUSTRALIA'S MONTE CARLO.

I be Sjuiptoms of this trouble are many, but among the mo.sl noticeable are pallor of the face, li|H« and gums, shorluuss of breath on slight exeriion, di^ziu<)ss, severe head- aches, weakness of the vital organs, palpilaliou of Ihe heart, and dropsical swellinii uf the limbs. The more of these symptoms shown, the greater Ihe necessity for prompt treatment.
