The transatlantic voyage will occupy?"

the transatlantic voyage will occupy?"
"That is hard to say, but expect to make
at least twenty miles an hour. In addition
to the ballast the balloon will carry large,
heavy rope, which will drag the water. This
will have tendency to keep us in the per-
manent altitude of which I have spoken.
You see, I shall have to depend on the fair
weather winds at the surface of the earth or
water, which at certain seasons, are general
~ from west to east.''
"Have you any fears as to the result of
the adventure2''
swell, now, of course it is hazardous, Tut
We shall take great care in the construction
of the balloon; and with enough provisions
on board, am fairly confident that the feat
will be accomplished with Safety
The only similar attempt on record was
that of the i'll fated Professor Donaldson in
1873. The balloon on this occasion was in
fated by Professor King, and was started
from Brooklyn, several newspaper CORE
spondents being fellow-voyagers. It was
Donaldson's first attempt at handling bal
loon of such size, and, consequently, after
going over about one hundred miles, he
came down at East Canaan, Conn.
Whether Professor King will take any
companions on his perilous voyage he leaves
to the future to determine. That plenty of
Americans have the necessary courage is
proven by the number of letters he has
already received from would-be voyagers,
several of whom have been his companions
in previous aerial trips.

Several weeks ago, Mr.. Martin of Ger
trail Point, Wabashaw county, had valise
of clothing and double-barrelled shot gun
stolen. A few days since Walter Powers
found the stolen property in the woods, near
Minnow lake, and restored it to the owner.
The body of dead man was found be-
side stack of wheat, in West Albany, Wab-
ashaw county, in condition indicating foul
play. A coroner's jury, however, came to
the conclusion, from the result of post
norton examination, that death was caused
by heart disease. His name could not be
ascertained.

the farmers of Milford were thrown into a
state of considerable excitement last week, by
the doings of an incendiary tramp. On Wed

of Mr.. Erdmann's wheat stacks were
mysteriously set on hre and burned;
and on Thursday Mr.. Rnder's family, who were
at work in the field, noticed a man enter their
house, and fearing that he might commit some
depredations they hurried home; but none too
soon, for when they reached the house they
found the bedding and floor on fire. The
scamp had in the mean time made good his
escape.
