liz A BA11ooN.-"Are you not dizzy lookin

In BA1LooN.-"Are you not dizzy looking
down from q balloon?" This is question
often asked, and its answer is that dizziness or
ciddiness is something entirely unknown IN
eronautic travelling, and therein is one OF the
most surprising facts in ballooning. You look
downward with the same steadiness and com
posure with which you look of from noun
tain top. Another strange feature is that the
balloon seems to stand perfectly still. Common
sense teaches you that you are moving when
the distance between you and certain objects ls
widening, but there is no other indication OF
the fact, nor is there in rising or falling IN at
mosphere. Immersed i'll the air current and
travelling at the same, or nearly; the same,
velocity, the balloon seems relatively becalm-
uselessness of sails and rudder. There ls
no wind to ill the one, nor the fulcrum or re-
sisting force for the other. The only power OF
the gas balloon is its buoyant force, and thus
all inward efforts at propulsion or control, be-
yond the simple means OF rising or falling
through a depreciation Of the buoyant mate
rial or the ballast weight, are manifestly frult-
less. Until some other inward motive power
than mere buoyancy is devised, no forward step
can be made in @rostatlcs, and the union OF any
other with the gas balloon is entirely hopeless,
since the craft is wholly at the mercy OF the
element which sustains it. The wind currents,
too. are 40 variable that navigating the air,
between given points, under their ne C control, 4,
weuld be quite as much out OF the question.
No difficulty in breathing is experienced Mt
less height than two or three miles by persons
in health, nor is any other decided sen
sation felt under ordinary circumstances.
There may be slight ringing in or closing OF
the ears with some persons at a less altitude,
but in the upper regions deafness is eI.
perienced at the height OF three and half
miles the atmosphere is known TO have Just
half the density 1t has at the surface, and there
is Of course the corresponding decrease OF at.
mospheric pressure. At the surface man Of
ordinary size is said TO sustain an atmospheric
pressure Of twenty-five thousand pounds, while
at the height named it is reduced one-half, the
change; bringing with it many % discomiorts. IT IT !:
by the balloon through the expansion Of the
gas and the dstens;on of its envelope, and
thus to rise to great altitude necessitates
great expenditure of gas as well as Of ballast.
To guard against too sudden expansion OF
the balloon, the open neck at the bottom
serves as sort of safety-valye, while it also be-
comes necessary to let out gas at times
through the valve at the top.

New DEVELOPMENTS IN IoE.-A few days
since we noticed the arrival Of the late rebel
ram Columbia from the Kennebee. in tow OF
the steamer Jersey Blue. laden with ice. We
have now to announce that the Jersey Blue,
Captain Cummiskey, sailed hence last evening
for Fortress Monroe to tow hence to the Ken
nebec another rebel ram-the Texas--which
will be there laden with ice and towed to this
port. The Texas when captured at Richmond
was ready for plating with iron, and, IN this
unfinished condition was sold at auction by
the government. She is 296 feet long, So
wide, IL deep, and is very strong, These two
vessels will be towed alternately between this
port and the Kennebec, laden with ice, on ac-
count OF Messrs. B. S. Wright & Co., OF this
city who own them, and who are now actively
engaged in developing the ice trade. They
can bring ice much cheaper and in better con,
dition on board of their vessels than it could
be transported by railroad. The late rebel
ram Columbia is also new vessel. She was
built at the expense OF the ladies OF South Ca Ca
rolina, who intended her as q present to the
rebel government. What change Here
are two warlike vessels, which were originally
designed to sink, burn, or destroy Yankee
ships. now used by the Yankees as ice-drogerss,
and some of the ice transported in them will
probably be sent to cool the stomachs OF those
who produced them.-Bosfon Journal.
