REMOVING SUBMERGED RocKs.-Recent
experiments with Giant Powder" indicate
that it is a most valuable agent for the re-
moyal of submerged rocks, or when quick
operations are to be performed in the way
of blasting. 1t seems to be nearly as eff
fective when discharged on the surface of
a rock as when inclosed in drilled cham
Der. Engineers are well agreed that for
the removal CT large masses of rock and
earth slow acting powder is best, as it
shakes and disintegrates the mass before
it can escape; whereas violent powder
makes its way to the surface through one
or more assures, and spends much Of its
force in the open air. On late occasion,
three-quarters of pound Of Giant Pow
der, inclosed in a water-tight cartridge,
was let down on the surface of a rock two
feet by two feet eight inches thick, one
foot under water 1t was then discharged
and the rock completely shattered to
pieces. A hole, three-quarters of an inch
in diameter and fourteen and a half inches
deep, was drilled into rock three feet by
three feet, and five feet thick This was
properly loaded aud fired. splitting the

well-informed men that 81 900 worth Of

For more than hundred years Mont Blanc
has been treated as the monarch of European
mountains; the peaks in the Northern part
of Caucasus being either unknown or forgot

Europe; all the heights standing on the
Eastern shores of the Euxine being generally
considered, like the main chain Of the eau

are both in Europe, and as three Of our Al

SENSATIONS IN A BAILooN.-"Are you
not dizzy looking down from a balloon? p
This is question often asked, and its an
swer is, that dizziness or giddiness is some
thing entirely unknown in aeronautic tray
cling, and therein is one of the most sur
prising facts Of ballooning. You look
down with the same steadiness and COM
posure with which you look off from q
mountain top. Another strange feature IS
that the balloon seems to stand perfectly
still. Common sense teaches you that
you are moving when the distance be-
tween you and certain objects is widening
but there is no other indication. of the fact,
nor is there in the rising or falling in the
atmosphere. Immersed in the air current,
and travelling at the same, or nearly the
same velocity, the balloon seems relatively
becalmed. This fact sufficiently explains
the utter uselessness of sails and rudder.
There is no wind to fill the one, no fulcrum
or resisting force for the other. No diff
ficul.y in breathing is experienced at less
height than two or three miles, by persons
in health, nor is any other decided sensa-
ton felt under ordinary circumstances.
There might be a slight ringing or closing
Of the ears with some persons at a less al
titude, but in the upper regions deafness
is experienced. At the height of three
and half miles the atmosphere is known
to have just half the density it has at the
surface, and there is, Of course, the cores

At the surface, a man of ordinary size is
said to sustain an atmospheric pressure of

it is reduced one-half, the change bringing
