NOVEL USE FOR BALL0oNs.-MT. Samuel A
King, the well known ITOnaut, was recently
emf lOyed upon a MOTEL commission, that of
measuring with balloons the discharge from a
gas well in Bloomfield. Ontario county, New
York. The well is owned by company Of capt.
talistS, and the gas is conveyed in pipes to KO-
chester. twenty-six miles distant, and there
mixed with the street or Illuminating gas. The
flOVaEe has only reached twenty-five thousand
feet a tiay when the capacity was estimated at
eight hundred thousand. With two balloons,
one of $1,000 cubic feet and the other of 1900,
the exact capacity of which was previously as
&c .aiued to a nicely, Mr.. King measured the
flow for q certain period, and the result showed
that the flow was about 1000 feet per hour.
Much OF the gas is thought TO escape By leakage
from the pipes between Bloomfield and ROches-
ter. In accordance with MIR. Kings su questions
the company proposes to perfect the present
drilI-hOle and sink another near the first. The
gas was disco vered many years since while par
ties were boring for Oil, and when 1t first es-
capped, the tools were driven out.-BOsto4 Jour
