THE STEAMSHIP ADRIATIC.-The unexpected
delay in the completion of this splendid steamer

probable cause. The following statements from
the Scientific American are designed to elucidate
the subject:

metal and the strongest form of such metals that

been long in use, but difficulties are most ALWAYS
experienced from the great contraction and ex-
Pansion- Mr.. III. Allen, chief engineer of the
Novelty Works, designed to overcome this e pan-
sion by introducing rubber at the ends but il
proved total failure. The condenser, with va
rious notifications and important revisions oc-

months. In or about the month of December the
condenser was pronounced satisfactory, and the

BALOoS IN THE NURSERY A Paris correspond
Cnt of GOdeys Lady's Rock, mentions the new
hydrogen balloons as the most singular feature OF
the gift season this year. They are made of In
dia Rubber paper, colorsd red, distended with
hydrogen gas, and closed perfectly. Held by a
string round the Child'S finger. they soar upward
aS far permitted, and float about gracefully in
the air. The Juvenile people are delighted with
them. When laid aside within doors they as
1end To the ceiling of the parlOr or nursery and
there remain safe and out of the way. IL is said
their explosion by accidental contract with a
blaze is not dangerous, and their cost is from one
or two francs.
The inventor Of this popular novelty was an
unfortunate Speculation who possessed only the
scientific knowledge of which his fortune could
not deprive him, and some materials for making
hydrogen gas. Having thought of the balloons
he procured at first some gold beaters skin, and
made the experiment. His first attempts were
bought by the toy merchants, and a sudden and
spontaneous success enabled him TO realize by
the clear profits of his invention, some 800 900
francs in three months.
