' w AIR SHIPS! j r- " THE RISK AND PROGRESS OF AEIU&L. NAVIGATION. Various Inventions for Sailing in the Clouds ?The Vacuum Bellows?Other Forms ot Navigable Balloons. HE recent experiI ) roents with balloons / intended for use in ><?war' an^ PrePa* f rations of many inventors to exhibit their airships at the World's Fair, show that the myriad Tailures and many fatalities which have marked the history of aerial navigation have not discouraged ambitious men, who see a fortune or fame j in the solution of this problem. It has been full of fascination, and its record teems with interesting adventure, says the New York Re coraer. Soon after the publication of Torriceli's discovery that air was weight, it occurred to another Italian?Francesco Lana?that it would be possible for a body to rise in air, provided it weighed less than the air it displaced. He accordingly proposed to make an aerial vessel to be raised by means of globes from which the air was exhausted. In his design the wicker-work car is attached to four large spheres of copper, and a sail is fixed in the center. We , have no record of the apparatus having Deen constructed, arm it is qunc tcuum that it was not successful. Theoretically, there is no reason why a balloon should be constructed on the vacuum principle, though it is doubtful if even at the present day a vessel could be built sufficiently strong to withstand the ' pressure of the atmosphere and at the same time sufficiently light to rise. Nevertheless, a patent was granted la?t 1 year to an inventor, who stated in his ' specification that a vacuum balloon is not an impossibility. He gives calculations which if there be no flaw in them, show that a vessel can be constructed weichinc 185 tons and capable of rais- 1 ing fifty tons more than its own weight when three-quarters of the air is pumped out of it. A VACUUM HALLOO*. As is well known, the first balloon 1 ascent was that of M. Pilatre de Rozier, * in Montgolfier's fire balloon, which took 1 place on October 15, 1783. The air in ' the balloon was rariSed by a fire beneath it, and the aeronaut stood in a gallery formed foond the mouth. The ascent on this occasion was limited to a height of about eighty feet by ropes, but a month later, on November 21, the same gentleman ascended with a companion in a fire balloon and descended in safety some five miles from the place he started. Several accents were afterwards made in fire balloons, but before long they were abandoned, owing to accidents having | occurred through their becoming | < ignited. I ] Though the use of hydrogen gas as a 1 means for raising balloons was proposed j i as early as 1767 by Dr. William Black of j ] Edinburgh, no attempt was made to j < utilize it except for toy balloons until i i August 1783, when MM. Charles and | i Robert sent up a large balloon from Paris, j < The balloon rose to a height of 3000 i f feet, and fell fifteen miles away in the 11 Annntrr TrhttPO it fnnwOil rrrfiat r>r?ncfoT?_ I nation among the inhabitants, who im- j I agined it to be of supernatural origin. ; On December 1st of the same year the ' IT r- - A REGULAR AIRSHIP. makerB of the balloon ascended in it from the Tuileries, and descended safely after a journey 01 aoout tnree mue?. Before the end of the last century it was known that a gas could be obtained from coal which was lighter than air, and its use for aeronautical purposes was proposed as early as 1765 by Tiberius Cavallo. It was not, however, employed, except on a small scale, till much later, j owing to the difficulty of making it in J sufficient quantity. When coal gas came J into use as an illuminunt at the begin- ' ning of this ceutury, it was available for 1 aeronautical purposes, and was soou j n?de use of. At the present day it is j almost invariably usei instead of hydro- j cen cas, though it is much heavier, and j it is cheaper and is easier to procure in i any quantity. I It was obvious from the first chat balloons would not be of any ^reat practical use unless means could be devised . for propelling and steering them, and j inventors, therefore, soon turned their attention to the subject. In the illustra- J tion of an airship designed in 178i by i M. B , of Paris, it will be noticed j that the ship is fitted with a sail, which could have no effect on a vessel floating in the air. Many attempts have been made to use ' wingless oars or paaaies ior roving uai- i loons through the air. The Dolphin was | to have been worked in this way. The j propellers were set like fins near the head | of the fish-shaped ballooD, and were to ' be worked by levers extending down to ! the car. The construction of the Dol pbin was commenced in 1817 by a Mr. 8. Paully, the money required, which amounted to $50,000, being found by Mr. Dars Egg, a gunmaker, well known at the time. The envelope was made of gold-beater's skin, and the fins and rudder of silk and whalebone. The completion of the apparatus was protracted by dissensions between the proprietors, and eventually both died without the machine beiDg finished. Some considerable progress must, however, have been made, as tickets entitling the holders to view the machine were printed; on them was a picture, of which the illustration is a copy. Some inventors have recently proposed to use wings or paddles, worked mechanically. In the specification of a patent applied for last year, for instance, is described a canoe-shaped balloon with self-feathering paddles, driven by steam or electricity. Though it Is quite possible that wings or paddles might successfully be used, the machinery for operating them is necessarily more complicated than that required for turning a screw propeller, and, therefore, the latter is almost invariably now employed. THE MODEL OF A FISH. The first successfully propelled balloon DOArrte f/\ Viot7?> hoon f Rnfin Pnrter. JVVlUO vv ,U**V VVWi* v* * " "?7 an American, who, in 1S33, constructed a model some twenty feet long, which was worked by a small steam engine. The apparatus was exhibited in New Yoik and worked successfully, but no attempt seems to have been made by this inventor to construct a balloon large enough to carry a human being. Another model wa? made by a Frenchman, 81. .Tullien, in 1850, which worked successfully, and was exhibited in Paris at the Hippodrome. Two years later a balloon was made by Gillard, which could be propelled through the air on a calm day, and could be Bteered satisfactorily in a strong wind, though it could aot be propelled directly against it. During the siege of Paris ordinary balloons were much used for carrying letters, etc., and before the siege was raised M. Dupuy de Lome was intrusted by the Government with the construction of a navigable one. The war terminated, however, before it was completed. It was afterwards finished, and tried with eight men in it working the screw propellor, the experiment proved fairly successful, though the strength of the men was insufficient to cause it to travel at ' r..l I any ^reac pace. Anoiuer sucuessiui French balloon was that invented by the brothers Tissandier. The balloon was driven by an electric motor of one and one half horse power worked by a battery. The balloon steered well, and a speed of nine or ten miles an hour was obtained. In 1S84 a balloon named "La France" was built by Captain Renaud and M. Krebs, agiin Frenchmen. Out of seven trials five were completely successful, the balloon, after covering a considerable distance at a speed of ten to fifteen mile3 per hour, being brought back to its starting point. On one of the remaining trials something went wrong with the electrical apparatus, and on another occasion the wind was excessively high, and the balloon could not make headway against it. CIGAR-SnAPED BALLOON. In 1890 a navigable balloon was successfully constructed by Professor Carl Meyer. The balloon itself wa3 some what the shape of a cocked hat, why, it is hurd to say, as this shape does not appear to have any advantages over the 3igar shape, usually adopted for navi<jible balloons. The propeller was driven froxi cranks worked by the feet of the operator like those of a bicycle. The speed attained was about ten miles an hour. .Thnnrrh the nroblem of navieatinsr I - - CI _ balloons has no: as yet been completely solved, great advance? have been made in the last few years, and it is certain that iu the future navigable balloons will be employed in war, even if no other use is found for them. Largest Steer in the WorlJ. William M. Siugerly, President of the Record Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, will take his big steer, the largest in the world, to the Columbian Exposition. The steer was sired by a pure bred Holstein, aod its darn is. a pure bred Durham cow. The animal is six years old and weighs 3S;)0 pounds. Its height is five feet ten inches, its girth over loin ten feet ten inches, and its length from root of ear to tail nine feet ten inches. Mr. Singerly will exhibit his steer in the live stock demrt meat of the Exposition. Muscular Mollusks. A writer in Nature states that the limpet, deprive 1 of its shell, puils in the air l'.tSl times its own weight, ami about double when immersed in water, lie adds that the pulling power of the cockleshell (Venus verncosa) of the Mediterranean, when deprived of its < shell, is 2071 times the weight of it3 body. The force required to open an oyster appears to be 1310.5 time3 the weight of the shell-less oyster. According to a very good authority i the middle C is declared to be the Dote j most frequently used in vocalism, as it seems to be the note which best avoids j the extremes and is most within the general coirpass. j THE REALM OE FASHION.

Yawning produces, as every one knows, a considerable distension of the muscles of the pharynx, constituting a kind of mofsago, and under this influence the cartilaginous portion of the eustachian tube contracts, expelling into the pharynx the raucosities there collected. According to M.

One of the applicition9 of electricity ! to submarine mining is where stationary torpedoes or mines are exploded by an electric current from an observing sta tion on shore, after the position of aa enemy's ship ia relation to the mines has been ascertained uy means of rangefinding instruments in two observing stations at u considerable distance. An electrical apparatus has also been designed and experimented with for enabling a boat, without any person In it, to be sent from a safe distance into an enemy's mine field, to explode and thus render harmless the mines laid there. By this apparatus the boat can be steered, the engines stopped or started, and the countermines dropped when desired and exploded. In this way a very rislcy operation can be performed without danger to life, aDd the worst casualty that can happen is the loss of the boat.?Boston Transcript. Hotv "liinotiiy" Grass Was Named.

Now we can add to that report tha following news item just as it was publish31 in the Commercial Advertiser, of New York; SPOKE THE SAPOLIO. captain andrews making his way to huklva and palos. London, Aug. 19 (Dalziel's Special News). ?Advices received to-lay from Corunna state that the steamer Vera Cruz, which ar rived there on Augr. 11, from Havana, reported that on Auz. 5 she fell in with a small boat named Sapolio, manned by Captain William A. Andre a s. In answer to questions of the Captain of the Vera Cruz, Andrews said he had sailed from Atlantic uity, jn. ?j., wuntqeiukjuuoa and hope of arriving at Huelva and Palos de Moguer, on the Rio Tinto, by next October, in time-for the occasion of the public festivals in connection with the Columbus centenary. The Captain of the Vera Cruz offered Andrews any provisions he required, but the latter replied he did not want any, and only desired to be reported. It will be recollected that It was from Paios that Columbus sailed in 1493 when he et out on his discovery of America. 1 The above report was later confirmed bj cables from Madrid, one of which saii: The Captain of the Vera Cruz describes j Captain Andrews as hale and hearty. Captain Andrews, he aays, resented a question as to whether he wished to be taken aboard the steamer, declaring that he was certain that he could reach Huelva without assistance in time for the October fetes. He asked only one favor?that the Captain of the Vera Cruz should hand a letter to tha American Consul at the first Spanish port hn Mitarnd. CaDtain Andrews then tied his letter to a piece of scrap iron and threw it aboard the Vera Cruz, and after mutual farewells and wishes for a prosperous voyage the two vessels parted. On the following day, August 6th, the "Sapolio" fell in with the German ship "Adolf," Captain A. Scheepsma, who writes that on that date he supplied Captain Andrews with "/resh water, fresh bread, eggs, and claret, also with a lantern and a length of line, captain and boat being all right." We giv6 it just as written, showing that our German friend can be as lio?ral with his letters as with the fresh bread, which must have proved so grateful to the daring loneeoyager who carries no fire, and on whom the baker does not call in the morning. ***** The New York Herald, in an editorial ar. tide on August 20tb, rather unjustly com* mente( -Captain Andrews'trip.

The Lapps call their country Sabme or Same, and themselves Samelots, and the term lota has generally been supposed to be a contemptuous nickname given to them by foreigners, derived from the Finnish *'lappu," and meaning simply "land's-end-iolk." A more plausable suggestion, however, is that of Professor Friis, of Christians, who refers the terra to an old Finnish root "lappaa,*' signifying to roam or wander about, in allusion to their nomad habits. In the mouth of southern or more civilized Lapps it appears to have become synonymous with rude or bar barous, and is so applied by tbem to the less cultured northern communities. , Anthropologists seem to have some difficulty in assigning to the Lapps their exnct place in the human family, but it may be safely affirmed that they are a combination of Caucasian and Mongolian types. Be this as it may, their physical characteristics are remarkable; decidedly more remarkable than attractive. They are probably the shortest race in the Eastern Hemisphere, unless it be Mr. Stanley's demoniacal dwarfs. A man over five feet in height would be a giant among them, and the women are rarelj more than four feet six inches. They are also the shortest headed and thinnest skinned people in the world. Some of them, indeed, are long-headed enough in the intellectual sense and know as well as any bow to drive a bargain and deal with strangers, but they are none the less pre-eminently what the scientific people designate as "brachycephalic."?
