FLYING BY BALLooN.-The balloon
is grand drifting machine, and by aid
ofthe trade winds could reach almost any
part of the globe; but air navigation, in
the scientific sense, will be accomplished
finally on the bird principal. Letters I
have recently received from various parts
of Europe convince me that the solving
of the problem is not far off. A number
of scientific aeronauts have written me
concerning flying machine now being
perfected BY distinguished scientist in
Paris which will doubtless be able 10
carry cargoes in any direction and any
distance. 1t is mere matter of time in
mechanical progress. Why should not
man ly as we'll as the eagle, the bat, the
squirrel even the fish essay this mode of
locomotion for 200 or 300 yards? While
talki ng on the subject of the construction
of balloons, he said: Balloons may be
made of boiler iron if built large enough.
You know it is the battle of cubes and
surfaces. When the surfaces is doubled
the cube is quadrupled, and balloon Of
400 feet diameter of copper boiler plate
will lift up a man-of-war ship and sail
away with it. With such a balloon
stocked with bombs and other destructive
munitions of war, think what consterna-
ton could be carried into besieged camp.
But the mission of the balloon will be
more for scientific exploration. That
overshadowing science called meteorol-
ogy will yet provide its definition in the
use Of the balloon" ."--Prof. Wise,

ries. The fish market has glass roof,
and all the rainbow tints of the fresh fish
come out we'll on bright day. Here
are hills of shrimps and pyramids OF
oysters, and enormous baskets of live
crabs, wherein hideous claw. battles are
incesaant. But one cannot see, much
less describe, all the sights of the French
market in month. 1t is a perpetual
exhibition of Industry museum of the
curiosities of marketing.
