, Description Of the New Air Ship.

A NUMBER of our citizens, on Saturday,
received invitations from the Secretary of
the Aerial Steam Navigation Company, to
attend private view of their model
carriage, which has for long time past
been in course of construction at Shell
Mound Track, in San Mateo county.
Among others we concluded to accept the
il vitation, and the $50 train of the San
jose Railroad Company landed us at the
track yesterday at 10 o'clock a. m.
We found the "Ayitor" inflated, aud
the engineers and attendants leading the
stately little fellow from the shed where
he was constructed out into the open air
Unfortunately, a stiff breeze had just
sprung up, and it was too evident that the
managers had their own doubts as to
whether he should be allowed to soar
aloft. Under such an adverse circumstance,
nothing was left but to return him to the
shed, where he was put through measured
pace We are compelled to say that the
performance looked something like fail
ure, and feeling of regret, rather than
of ridicule, pervaded the company pres
ent, at the lowering of the hopes that had
been raised by its over-sanguine inventor
The "Avitor" can be briefly described
simply as balloon of The form of very
short snd thick cigar, its extreme length

Stopping a Passenger Train.

AFRIEND informs us of the novel mode
adopted to stop railroad. train in Yer
mont, the other day. He was at Centre
Rutland, way station, where the train
did not stop except upon the signal of a
red flag. 1t was early in the morning, and
the station-master had not arrived. A
woman with two small children came to
take the cars, and was anxiously awaiting
their arrival. The time was nearly up,
and yet no appearance of the station mas
ter. The woman grew more anxious.
She said there was no signal, and she must
take that train at all hazards. "Why,"
said she, "I can now hear the cars COM
ing-what shall I do? l must 60 on this
train" This appeal was addressed to our
friend, who, by the way, is over six feet
tall and "well proportioned." After
thinking moment, he asked the woman
if she did not have something red about
her, a shawl or something. She replied
that she had not. In moment thought.
struck her, and she said Eyes, I have on
me red petticoat, will that do pr" Ger
tainly," said our friend, "I will elevate it
on my walking stick, and if that don't stop
the train then there is no virtue in wo,
mans expedients" The experiment was
tried, and the emblem of woman's rights
brought the rushing train to stand, on
time. The woman was delighted with her
success, and laughed as heartily over the
repetition of the story as any of the pas
sengers on the train.-Albany Argus. sa

Poisoned Socks.

To the Editor of the New York Times:
In your issue of to-day, under the head
ing of "a Strange Disease" you called at
tention to case of poisoning brought
about by wearing what you describe as
French socks. @a @ sa cd e
Last summer, on the eve Of leaving
England for the United States, pur-
chased dozen pairs of silk socks which
were dyed in bright red, blue, green and
other colored stripes. In July / COM
menced wearing these socks in New York,
and in few days found my feet swelled
and covered with pimpies, which were
charged with colorless fluid. l suffered
the most excruciating agony, and was
driven crazy from intense itching feeling.
called in the services of q medical gem
tleman who failed to afford me relief or
account for the cause of the attack, al
though he saw me continue to wear the
socks. During three months was con-
fined almost constantly to.the house, and
cast the entire skin of my feet several
times. In the end I suspected that the
bright aniline dyes used in coloring the
socks contained some active poisonous
principle.
Since then I find that exposure Of sim
liar cases have been given in England by
physicians who had patients suffering
from similar attacks to my own, and IN
consequence OF these exposures large con-
tracts for such socks had been Cancelled.
1t is highly probable that as these socks
are no longer salable in England, they
may have been consigned to the States In
large quantities, and if so the public
should be warned as early and publicly as
possible. F. M. b. W..

DURING severe storm, at Nashville,
Tenn, afew days ago, the following Incl
dent occurred, as told by the Bonner, of
that city: ~~ ~ - = 80
Just above the upper landing there is
small bathing boat, which is fitted up with
evergreens as screen to the bathers as
they perform their toilets At the time
when the storm came UP, a party of about
dozen boys and men were bathing in
the river, and had their clothes hung, on
the evergreens which formed the side of
the boat next to Broad street. Along
came the waterspout in its course, whisked
the trees from the side, clothes and ALL
and sent the whole far up into the sky.
Away went the raiment of the bathers
before their own astonished ewes. the
spirits of the, air crawling in and out of
the different articles, and trying all sorts
of ways to feel comfortable and at home
in them, but without success. Away went
the clothes, sailing through the air and
followed by the anxious gaze of the bath
ers, until having risen to considerable
elevation in the region of the water works,
they disappeared from view. The party
swan, some to the boat, which had been
drenched and partially filled with water,
and others to the shore. All called loudly
for clothes, and each was eager to secure
the services of some one to go for change
of attire. A number of articles of apparel
were finally secured, and then there was
great swapping among the crowd to get
fitted out. The whole crew finally sue
ceeded in getting. sufficient covering, to
evade the law and then started home.
The whole affair partook considerably of
the ludicrous and caused much merriment
among those who witnessed this freak of
the wind.

The New Fractional Currency.

THE Treasury Department has com
menced the issue of the new fractional
currency. The printing is done in New
York-the face by the American Bank
Note Company, and. the back by the Ma
tonal Bank Note Company, on the same
paper used for printing the United States
and National Bank Notes. This paper is
superior in quality to that used for the
currency now in use. Instead of the
fiashy bronzing heretofore used on the
face of the fractional currency, which was
easily counterfeited, an engraved seal,
printed in red, has been substituted. This
ia the finishing touch to the notes, and is
done at the printing division of the Treas
ury Department under the management
of its efficient chief, George B. McCartee.
The ten cent. note, instead OF being orna-
mented on the face, as now, by the head
of Washington, has the bust of a woman
supposed to be the Goddess of Liberty.
The fifteen cent notes will have on their
face the figure on the dome of the Capt.
tol. Fessenden's head will be taken off
the twenty -fve-cent notes, and that of
Washington substituted. General Spin
ner's handsome bust will be taken off the
fifty cent notes, and be replaced by that
of the late President Lincoln. All the
issues will be out and ready for circula-
ton about the 1st of August-E Exchange
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1869-07-30

being about ninety-five feet, its height ten
feet, and its width at the center about
seven feet A delicate framework of
light and strong wood passes longitudinal
ly through it, andseryes to hold the guides
for regulating its movement in their pla-
ces. At the after end of the frame the
rudder is placed-an ingenious contri-
vance for directing its course either verti-
cally or horizontally. The prope1ling
power is furnished by very small engine
and boiler, of the very lightest weight,
and certainly of no more effective force
than could be produced by turning crank
by man of ordinary strength. The
engine and boiler-the latter fired up
with alcohol-are in dangerous proxim-
isy to the, balloon itself, and are placed
in niche in its bottom, From the en-
gine, by light shafts and gearing, the
power is transmitted to couple of pro-
pellers working in the frame, first men,.
toned, and number of lines, bands, rib.
bons and network, all of the lightest ma
Iterial, serve to bind the frame.to the bal
loon and preserve its contour. -
The inventor has evidently made his
greatest error in supposing that any prac-
tical speed can be obtained from the ap-.
plication of so little power to so great a
mass. 1t is apparent that to give any
velocity to the balloon-relative to the air
through which it travels-the air in front
must be removed and passed to its rear
so that bulk of its own size must be,
moved by its propellers in order to fcrce'
it to move its own length. The scale upon
which the machinery is constructed is so
very triffing and inadequate to do this, that
its failure cannot be matter of surprise
in fact, until some other power is discov
cred that can be condensed in a far less
compass than that of steam, we fear that
the success of the present affair is hope
less.-San Francisco Atlas.

A Pillar Of Fire.

THE most curious phenomenon which
we have ever heard of occurred out in
Cheatham County, on Wednesday last.
The day, it will be remembered, was re-
markably hot, so that most people in the
county had to seek the shade at noon.
At this hour, on the farm of Ed. Sharp,
five miles from Ashland, sort of whirl-.
wind came along over the neighboring
woods, taking up small branches and
leaves of trees and BURNING them in q
sort of flaming cylinder that travelled at
the rate of about five miles an hour, and
developing size as it travelled. 1t passed
directly over the spot where a team of
horses were feeding and singed their
names and tails up to the roots; it then
swept towards the house, taking stack
of hay in its course. 1t seemed to increase
in heat as Invent, and by the time it
reached the house. it Immediately fred
the shingles from end to end of the build
ing, so that in ten minutes the yhole
dwelling was wrapped in flames. The
tall column of travelling calosic then con-
