4 MONSTER BALLOON.

NJ. GifArd has devised the construction
of balloon for 1873 which will far surpass
any effort hitherto made in this direction.
The new balloon will be formed of resist
ing material, solid, absolutely impermeable
to hydrogen gas, manufactured of alternate
sheets of linen and caou:chouc, protected
externally by several layers of varnish and
coated with white paint to diminish the
effects of the sun's rays. This balloon will
have q capacity of nearly 7lO, 900 bic feet,
and will form an immense sphere, the great
est ever constructed, the diameter of which
will lot be less than H. feet. When moor
ed to the ground the balloon will form a
monumental dome loo feet high exceed
ing by Is feet the height of the Arc
de Triomphe. The balloon itself will
weigh { 800 pounds, and to join the piece
together of which it lie composed will take
nearly four miles of sewing, with - miles
of thread. The car of the balloon will form
a gallery of so feet in circumference. A
circular space in the centre of 10 feet in
diameter will be reserved in the centre of
this space the cable, powerful rope of ten
inches in circumference, will ba juined to
the upper circle by means of aI$apparatus
which will constantly indicate the ascend
ing power of the balloon. This aerial ma
chine will be held to the earth by eight Ca
blee, attached to iron hinges fixed securely in
| masonry, and will be suspe nded above a vast
conical basin. The car will be reached by
two movable gangwsys, and from forty to
| fifty persons will be taken on board a. each

SeaSOnable Poisoning.

To borrow the style of the almanacs of the last generation we might say "About this time look out for Geaths caused by eating mushrooms" There is crop of these casualties every year, and they may be put down in the cate gory of regularly recurring events. It is a very dangerous indulgence to eat mushrooms gathered in the fields; so dangerous that it may we'll be doubted whether the qualification of the palate is worth the peril. There are several hundred varie ties of mushrooms. Some few of these are edible, but by far the larger number are poisonous, and these are chased together under the common name of toadstools. There are plenty of people everywhere who believe they know the difference between toadstools or poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms; but those who have made a thorough study of these fungi declare that none of the common and popular tests are to be depended upon, and that there is no general test that is absolutely certain. They even hold that mush- rooms of an edible variety may be ger minated in conditions which will render them poisonous. Mushrooms raised in the beds of cultivator from the spawn of mushrooms known to be edible are the only ones that it is entirely safe to eat 79s #.';--.i 7. .- -H

A Fish Banquet.

The most remarkable fish dinner ever given in the United States was set be- fore the American Fish Culturists' Asso- citation in the judges hall on the Gen. tennial grounds one afternoon recently. The a,senn included fifty-eight varieties of fish from all parts of the world. Be- sides all the fish edible and inedible, that swarm in our own salt and fresh waters, there were representatives of the prin- lcipal sfnny tribes of every sea that ad- .venturous keels have yet explored. There were bass from the Mediterranean, Icraytish from the Cape of Good Hope, shark fins, black and white, from China.
 octopus eggs and dried fish maws from
 the same celestial floods, swordfish from Portugal, shake and salmon from Japan, caviar from Russia and California, oola-

 and Norway were represented by very

 fish, including conger cells. anchovies,

 other interesting and toothful speci-
 mems. Many prominent guests were

An Incident of a Famine.

A characteristic incident connected with the famine in the north of China reaches the Shanghai Courier from Pekin. It seems that the scarcity of food has been greatly felt in many of the outlying country villages, and the dearth was all the keener from the fact that the people were nrared for by 8 single mandarin, the only authorities in the neighborhood being soldiers. Soan old gentleman, a scholar and man of much repute, bestirred himself, and in spite of much Encouragement from his friends he went round to all the we'll to- do gentry with beautifully written pe- tition praying for assistance. The old man pleaded the cause ot the sufferers so well that he succeeded in scrs ping to- gether not less than 3. 900 taels of silver; but alas it was 0 drop in the bucket, and was not sufficient to feed a tenth of those who needed succor. Howe yer, he managed to open an establishment for providing the villagers with "congce," ;" on the soup kitchen principle, though the amount that each man received was barely large enough to hold body and soul together. At length one morning 8 mysterious placard was found affixed to the door of the congee house, urging the heads of the district, if they wanted more assistance, to apply to two power full mandarins, who were unnamed, con nected with the imperial government. Twenty thousand taels, said the anony- nous author of the proclamation, is re- quired to do any good; and the only way in which that sum is likely to be pro cured is by appealing to these high off eers. For some time nobody seemed willing to go upon so venturesome an errand. At last, however, one of the Pekin officials known as ''Yu-shin "-
 f the emperor's eyes and ears made 1t his duty to find out from whom the
 proclamation emanated. His researches
 broughts him in contact with the two
 minister's who had been referred to, and
 to his Vunbounded astonishment, he nc
 sooner mentioned his business than they
 each presented him with 10000 taels
 saying at the same time that as they had
 provided the money, he was to see tha
 it was we'll dispensed and take all trouble off their hands. It also transpired tha
 they themselves, and no other, were thu
 authors of the proclamation.
