TO EUROPE LN A BALLOON. PROF. KING WILL TRY THE VOYAGE IF FUNDS ARE RAISED. He Believes It Possible, and Explains His Theory-How He Will Overcome the Dan gers Attending the Experiment. (Philadelphia Times. Nov. 14.) Prof. Samuel A King, the well-knowr. aeionat, has expressed his willingness to attempt a voyage across the ocean in a bal loon. provided the necessary funds art raised. Prof. King has made 294 success ful voyages since 1851 and feels confiden' that he can cross to Europe. In speakin of the project, Prof. King said yesterday: "My prime reason for wishing to attempt this trip across the ocean is to demonstrate the usefulness of the balloon. The balloon has been misunderstood from the lirst. Instead of being intended for erial naviga tion, it is really an immense meteorological instrument by which we shall be enabled to learn all that can be learned of the at mosphere. Besides that, it is probably the one means of reaching the inaccessible parts of the earth at some future period after the full development of its powers. We have had any quantity of experience in ballooning in a small way, and the main thing which has kept it alive is the gratifi cation the public has experienced in wit nessing ascensions. Viewing the matter frommystandpoint, something more should be done, something more should be done, something on a grander scale, and that which lies nearest within reach seems to be an ocean voyage. PROFESSOR EING's THEORY. "I think the voyage cau be successfully accomplished. Professor Wise said that he thought the trip could be made in three or four days, and gave as his reason the theory that three miles above the water there were two constant, rapid currents of air, one going west and one going east. His plan was to get in the east current and then the only difficulty would be to keep the balloon in the air a sufficient length of time, Now, there is nothing to support this theory and I do not base my offer upon it. The general direction of the wind or the ccean is east and I feel confident that the balloon would reach it final destination when once started on its way and for a certainty it would not again come in view of the American coast. "This ocean voyage will require more than ordinary skill and judgment and a balloon of large proportions fitted up with unusual appliances. It will have to be capable of floating in the air a number of weeks. It will start upon an errand the tiue nature of which we have previous practical knowledge. We would probably encounter storm the effect of which we can only imagine. We would have constant waste of water beneath us into which we may be driven by unforeseen circumstan ces. We may be blown north or south out of our course and so be delayed in reach ing our destination. But not withs:anding all this I think it can be safely accomplish ed, an d that the accomplishment of this feat will be fruitful of discoveries of the greatest value to science as related to me teorology. THE SUM NEEDED. "It has been suggested that the North Pole might be reached by balloon. This may become eyident when once the ocean is crossed, and may possibly follow, but until something of this nature has happened there is no hope. of any sane person at tempting to.find the North Pole by this neans " From $18,000 to $14,000 will be neces sary-to defray the expenses of an ocean voyage. If it is asked what are we-to learn by the voyage it may be difficult to answer. I: will probably demonstrate the movement of storms across the ocean, the general -- ~~-dnit of the atmosphere, as well as a vast amount of meteorolgical phenomena to be - gathered in no other way. The United tates Signal Service Bureau would take -great interest in such a voyage, and would be represented by one or more observers. The-principal obstacle to be overcome in statting out on such a voyage is the great xpnewhich must necessarily be incur rdin procuring the most perfect outfit that prudence could suggest. But this ' uhtbe overcome when once the possi biiyand -benefit accruing if brought be fore tose possessing sufficient means to in suressuccess. An effort will be made to raise funds necessary and if it is successful preparations will be begun at once. 1PBOVIDING FOR EMERGENelEs. "No balloon has hitheito been kept afloat twenty-four consecutive hours, ex capt Gifford's great captive balloon, which wasskeptin the air while the Paris Expo sition lasted. This was because the balloon was no: allowed to rise to a great altitude but was kept up at one height all the time. <The great waste of gas in ordinary bailoon nmg is caused by the expansion which fol lows a rise to a great altitude, thus forcing the gas out of the open neck. Now I pro pose to adopt the system used by Gifford, that of keeping at certain altitude. I will stay down in the lower atmosphere, about two thousand feet high. This will be ac complished by a drag rope or a similar con trivance, and I propose to lose nothing by wastage. . Another advliitage we have in the - ocean balloon is that we can use heavy ma terial for the envelope, thus reducing the loss by percolation to a minimum. In or dinar~y ballooning it is considered prefera ble to use lighter material and suffer the loss by percolation. To make the voyage, a balloon with capacity of about 300,000 cubic feet wiil be necessary. It will be - filled with pure hydrogen gas, the lightest known. "Under all circumstances we would be provided for-emergencies. If we should happen to be swamped we would have ap pliances which would render us capable of rising again. If we were compelled to leave the balloon we would always have something that would float, so that in case failure did come it need not necessarily be followed by loss of life." Lost and Found. On Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock a two year old child of Mr. J. M. Dickenson, .who lives near Buford's Bridge went out to play. About a half hour later it was missed and the immediate vicinity of the house was searched ibnd the wells were raked but without success. The neighbor hood was aroused and everybody joined in a wider search. The chili night drew on and suspense and aniexty grew greater as the unsuccessful hunt went on. Some time after dark a horn was heard and soon after a colored man rode up in hot haste, bringin'g the little wanderer with him. His wife had heard its cries in their yard, a mile from Mr. Dickenson's. went out and brought it to the light and fire. It had strayed through dense woods and thick briars all that distance, and was badly scratched and tot n by its travel. When found it was quite numb with cold. Per haps some guardian angel led its steps to the humble house where it found help, and so saved its young life.-Barnwell People. "What is an edition de luxe?" asked a customer in a bookstore. "It is simply an edition de looks," was the conclusive reply. It is claimed by physicians that few men are killed by hard work. But is this any reason why the physicians should rush to the rescue? If Great Britian and Russia ever get fighting, it will be another contest between -bull and bear. The world is round. This is probably the reason so many people fail to get square with it. Smith to Contest. S. E. Smith. the colored candidate for Congress who opposed Mr. Til in in the Second District, will contest his seat in the Fiftieth Congress. S:oith's madn " mu.:dst. for contest will be based en thse ration; of our iegkitration l-ws, which he e'Itis are operated i,uh tn > ,r it, - eally uisf,.nc ie: r t m.; I : sa gro voter,,. 11:% t ' n ::+..:i "*" . ho had no teg's":.i -n ee:ilic. . :o:i 'or the Sut IR Ie l n tLI iit Sii o~o. :t ii;' .~ R' isC been told that it was o u-C to ! ui the polls.

"We never furnish a knife with pie," said a prin waiter at a Keokuk. Iowa. boarding-house. "Then bring me the axe," cried the new boarder, in despair. Ile-My darling, I really believe my rheumatism has wholly disappeared. She --O I am sot sorry ! Now we shall never know when the weather is going to change. The Electrical Engineer enumerates for ty three electric street railroads in operation in the United States, and forty-eight under construction. A news iten states that "some young nen of Montgonery, Ala., ate to keep house without marrying." Well vliv not? Plenty of pioung men marry without keep ing house, aitd its a poor rule that won't work both ways. DYSPEPSIA. L Sthat misery experienced when we sud denly become aware that we possess a hblical arrangement called a stomach. The stomach is the reservoir from which every fibre and tissue must be nourished, andanytrouble with it is soon felt through out the whole system. Among a dozen dyspeptics no two will have the same pre dominantsymptoms. Dyspepticsotactive mental power and a bilious temperament are subject to Sick Headache: those, fleshy and phlegmat ic have Constipation, while the thin and nervousare abandoned togloomy forebodings. Some dyspeptics are wonderfully forget fat; others have great irritability of temper. Whatever form Dyspepsia may take, one thing is certain, The underlying cause is ; in the LIVER, and one thing more is equally certain, no one will remain a dyspeptic who will It will correct Acidity of the Stomach, Expel foul gases, Allay Irritation, Assist Digestion, $ and, at the same time Start the Lier to working, when all other troubles soon disappear. "My wife was a confirmed dyspeptic. Some three year; ago by the advice of Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, sne was induced to try Simmons Liver Regula-or. I feel grateful for the relief it has given her, and may all who read this and are afwicted in any way, whether chrosnic or other wise, use Simmons Liver Regulator and I feel confident health will he restored to all who will be advised."-Wn.
