Balloon Voyage 70 Europe.
From thu Troy IN. ~ Times.


Mr.. John La Mountain is busily en-
gagged in this city in making prepare
tons for the construction of the
balloon with which he hopes to be
able to cross the Atlantic during the
coming season. For two weeks, one Of
butchers patent machines, at the rope
and cordage works, has been used in
making the Irvine to be used for the
net of the ship. This Is about one
tenth of an inch in thickness, and COM
posed of thirty-six strands of the very
best Holland linen, carefully selected
from the stock at the Mechanicville
threa mills. 1t was necessary to
guage the machines and drills, IN order
to turn ont cord of the required size.
That produced is remarkably beau
tiful in its make-as smooth and
even as woven silk. Its strength
may be inferred from the fact that
it Will resist steady strain Of three
hundred pounds. The silk for the
balloon has been selected from recent
importation from the East Indies at
New York. 1t is remarkable for the
strength and firmness of its fibre, while
at the same time, it is as light as any in
market. The balloon is to be con-
structed at Lancaster, Pa, upon the
frames and with the apparatus used by
MIR. Wise, the father of ;eranautics, for
the purpose. 1t will, probably, be
completed early in May. The first
trial trip will be made from Chicago
during the latter part of that month
and MIR. La Mountain designs crossing
one OF the lakes, and travelling at least,
one thousand miles over the continent.
Whatever may be thoughts of the prac-
tlcability of his scheme, he has entered
into it with hearty earnestness which
proves that he believes its accomplish
ment practicable, and is prepared to
risk every thing in the venture, with
impossible hopes Of making anything
unless he succeeds. In this nineteenth
century it will not do to laugh at any
proposition, however absurd It NAV
seem. We can, therefore, only wait,
and shall see what we shall see. d
Mr.. La Mountain should cross the At.
lantic with,a @rialship,his name will ,ol
course, go down to posterity with
those of the most famous men; if be
does not, he will, it is feared, share the
fate OF those who "go down into the
sea in ships"

Some weeks ago, during the intense
cold, it was reported that the iron tub
ular bridge, which is being built at
Montreal, had been materially injured
BY the action Of the frost in twisting
and straining the iron. A correspond
cnt Of the n. Y. Courier, abiding to
the subject, says be has from the high
est authority, the following answer to
the report:
"The tubes obey the law common
to iron in any shape or form by CON
tracing or expanding, as the case may
be, one ten .thonsandth part Of its
length tor each fifteen degrees varia-
ton Fahrenl cit. Thus from pier to
pier, the Victoria bridge tubes extend
26O feet; it is fixed upon one picr-it
rec to move to and fro upon the
ner pier upon smooth rollers provld-
ed for the purpose of rendering its ODE
dience to these laws easy and uniform.
For instance, 26O feet in length Of tube
gives one third Of an inch as one ten
thousandth part OF Its length. In Ju-
" last the thermometer indicated a
maximum of 1913. On the 10th and
18th Of this month, January, it mark
ed 81 below zero, making an extreme
variation of los. This would produce
Difference of eleven ten thousandths
part of the length Of thei tube-equal
to 2Sinches. And this is the exact
quantity found by measurement to
have been the case. The extreme
cold on the days mentioned, induced
more than ordinary notice to be taken,
1.-THE low temperature having reached
a point unknown to the engineer since
he has been in the country The sun
shine and the shade produce their eff
feet every day, but all this is known,
and for it the proper rules have been
adopted, and the IRONS movement is in
obedience to law which is in exact
conformity with the precautions taken
by the engineer.

SINGULAR Case Of Embe "a ement by BOs'
ton Clerk

The Supreme Court at Dedham,
Massachusetts, was occupied on Thurs
day in the trial of curious case. An
action by Henry N. Hooper a. Co.
against Charles Wyman, a former clerk
Of the concern, for an ale ed embcz-
element of large sum III the year
le47. From the testimony If Mr..
Hooper and his partner, Mr.. Richard
son, it appeared that the defendant
had been their confidential clerk and
book keeper, in whom they had the
most entire confidence, for twenty
years, and this continuedup to the time
he left, in 1856. After he left they were
induced to make athorough cxaminatin
of the books from 1910, and they dis
covered frauds in lS47 or 1913, which
has teen carefully concealed and car
RED along on the books from that time.
They sent for the defendant and de-
mandcd an explanation; when he
acknowledged that he took the money,
and told them they might be thankful
that it was no more. He at first
promised restitution, but declined to
sign any paper or to make any con-
conveyance, and this suit was brought
and certain real estate of the defend
ant in Roxbury attached.
The defendant conducted his own
case. He admitted that he took the
money, but set up the statute of lin
itations. He also testified, under oath
that Mr.. Hooper knew of the defalca
ton in 1910. This the latter denied
under oath. Judge Metcalf instructed
the jury, that, if they were satisfied OF
two things, namely, first that the de-
PENDANT took the money, and secondly
that he frandulcntly concealed the
taking Of it, then the statute of limita-
tons did not apply, and the defendant
was liable for the amount and interest.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiffs for sixteen thousand four
hundred and eighty-seven dollars and
ten cents. Chandler and Shattuck for
the plaintiffs. Boston Traveller Sth.
