A. n. MENIER, of Bordeaux, has in
vented a new continuance for the steering
of balloons. The mechanism is placed
behind the car, and by n clever arrange
ment Of network acts upon belt which
encircles the body of the balloon, ex-
tending about four or five degrees above
and below horizontal plane through its
centle-its equator, SO to say. The rud-
der is plane, and can be used as a sail.
The balloons are said to move obliquely
upwards and dowDwards and also side
ways, according 10 the position of the
rudder The sideway motion is very
likely facilitated by changing the posi-
ton Of ballast. One circumstance, which
may be Of special practical use is that a
balloon provided with this new ap-
paratus, when falling to the ground, can
be made to touch the earth's surface
very obliquely, and thus avoid any sud
den shock, and at the same time facilitate
a safe anchoring.-Na Nature.

LIAM HAND has suddenly decided
@ annul the decree made last year, re-
pudiating half the interest on the public
debt Of the Ottoman empire. This de-
cree cut off $50, 900, 900 or $40, ,OOO, 900 of
interest, and led to bOisterous meetings
of the bondholders in London last win
ter. As the porte has no money, it
Is difficult to see what difference the de-
cree viii make. The decree was simply
formal declaration of insolvency on the
part of the empire. The interest on the
public debt amounts TO an average of
100000, 600, which is equal to 1925 for
every $500 borrowed. The aggregate of
the debt Is 81, 200, 100000. The bond
holders may whistle for the money. En-
gland Is the largest creditor, and she can
only help herself by participating in
the general land grab, which just now
appears inevitable.
WooLwIcH isnow in better position to
build guns OF two hundred tons than it
was to undertake those of eighty tons
when the order for manufacturing an
experimental weapon of the latter weight
was first issued. Designs for a gun of
one hundred and sixty-iour tons have
been for some time in the hands of the
war department; but it IS now almost
certain that this immense calibre will be |
surpassed, and that the pet place Of ord |
nance for the English navy of the
future will be a Fraser gun, weighing |
about two hundred tons, fifty feet in
length, having a bore cf twenty inches,
and throwing, with q powder charge of |
like eight hundred lbs, 4 |
projectile weighing from 5000 to 1000 /
