THE AERIAL SHIP.
This singular traveller upon the pathless fields of airis being
fitted out for its journey to Paris, at Victoria-toad, Kensington.
A more ungraceful entity neved moved. on or in any element.
The whale and the elephant are beaten hollow by it in point of
form and grace; yet, like both one and the other, it may be
able to make inure rapid way than man or horse. The ordinary
balloon 'is, from its shape, wholly at the mercy of the winds, as
a tub in the waves; the aerial ship is capable of direction, al-
thotigh, like its namesake of the deep, it must also depend for
its velocity upon old father Lolus. Its inventors, wisely turn-
ing to nature for a model, found one in the fish; and, in fact,
their work should be called the Aerial Leviathan, or the Great
Air Serpent. Its body is oblong, sonic hundred and sixty , feet
—sixty feet high, unintlated, and forty wide. The portable gas
cylinder would convey an idea of its shape to any ono who has
not seen the likenesses of it in miniature, which are displayed
about town. At either end it runs off to a point. This vast re-
servoir of gas is made of cotton fabric, thoroughly varnished, so
as to be air-tight. Suppose it to ascend into the air, being fil-
led with gas, and specifically • lighter than the atmosphere, it
would naturally lie lengthwise in the direction of the wind, its
' greater Latina' surface yielding uutil its end should lie before
tbe wind's eye. As lung as the wind remained in the same
quarter, it would move on without gyration. If the wind should
prove only slightly contrary; the inventors of this machinehope
to keep their Course' by means of two wings or fins at each side
of the vessel of broad superficies and light construction, and also
by means of a fan-tail, intended to act after the manner of a
fish, •This tail is fastened, net to the great air cylinder itself,
voyagersbut to the machine in which the take their places,
and which, being made of net-work and little solid inaterial
as possible, is suspended beneath and very close to the former.
It is long and narrow,_ and holds- the machinery for moving
the wings or fins. But say that the wiud may prove very
contrary, and there can be no doubt now that the atmospheric
currents are- equent and fitful, then nothing is left the
voyagers but to descend towards the earth. It may he
remarked that by a partial descent an unfavourable
_may be
changed for a favourable current. One of the most satis-
factory parts of' the whole machine is that which renders ascent
and descent perfectly easy. Here again the economy of , the
fish's construction is had recourse to. Within the vessel is an
air-balloon to correspond with the air-bladder of fishes. This
can be tilled or exhausted at pleasure by very simple means. If
it be filled with atmospheric air the gas in the cylinder may be
compressed to such a degree, that what with the ballast in the
tioat the whole machine becomes specifically heavier than the
air around it, and it descends accordingly. An inflator of sim-
pl.: construction is carried in the boat. Thus the air-ship comes
as near the earth as its crew desire. Should they wish to ascend,
the air-balloon is exhausted—the gas expands—the cylinder is
of less specific gravity than the air, and rises. The result of the
whole experiment seems to its to amount to this, the air ship
will, withiha fair wind, go rapidly to any distance its crew desire,
—but it is liable to frequent delays. lu either case it is safe. It
cannot be turned to any very useful purpose, inasmuch as vast
as is its bulk, it can but accommodate some twenty persons—one
half crew and one•half passengers. The passengers can never pay
for the expenses of the immense quantity of gas which is requi-
site to fill the cylinder. Thus, uncertainity—great, though not
so great as that in a common balloon—and expense must, upon
a general calculation, countervail the advantages of its occasion-
al velocity.—Exhibition before, and at starting, may contribute
to its outlay, but that only while it is a novelty. The present
speculators calculate on being ready for their voyage by O.: . end
of this month. They are but making an experiment, in which
they deserve encouragement. Some three years ago they made
their first trial in a smaller machine, and sailed from Paris, 127
miles across France. Why they did not then proceed with their
undertaking is a mystery. We should hope that their Argonau-
ties will not end in their obtaining a golden fleece without the
trouble of sailiug.-Afurniny Herald.

THE CONSOLATIONS OF ILL-HEALTH.—And first, it seems to
me that when the nerves are somewhat awakened the senses of
Fympathy are more keen—we are less negligent of out kind;—
than impetuous and reckless buoyancy of spirit which lousily
accompanies a hardy and iron frame, is not made to enter into
the infirmities of others. How can it sympathise with what it
has never known ? We seldom find men of great animal health
and power possessed of much delicacy of mind; their humanity
and kindness proceed from an oye; flow of spirits—then more
genial virtues are often but skin deep, and the result ot good
humour. And this is, therefore, among the eonsolations'of ill
health, that we are more susceptible to all the kindlier emotions,
and that we drink a deeper and a sweeter pleasure from' the
attachment of our friends. 111-health may save us from many
disquietudes and errors—from frequent mortification—and' the
" walking of ter a vain shadow." Plato retired to his cave to be
wise; sickness is often the moral cave, with its quiet., its dark-
ness, and its solitude to the soul. I may add also, that he who
has been taught the precariousness of life, acquires a knowledge
of its value. He teaches himself to regard death with a quiet
eye, and habit gifts him with a fortitude mightier than the
stoicism of the Porch.—Mr. Matter's "Student." [Mr. Buiwer
might have discovered a better source of consolation than auy
he has here enumerate& ED.)
