A scurur has inst heen mr.

A SCHEME has just been proposed
by M. Emile Pagan, Belgian, for
reaching the north pole in balloon.
The aerial machine, which is of spe.
cial form will be used as a sailing
vessel as far as the eighty. fourth par
allel. There he will fill the balloon OF
capacity of $500 cubic metres, with
pure hydrogen, which he will make in
the Arctic regions with $4,000 cubic
metres of suIphurlc acid and 5000 of
iron filings. He will be supplied with
boxes of preserved meats, biscuits,
bottles of brandy, alchohoI, &c,
which he will throw overheard as ne
advances towards the pole. The car
will serve him according to circum
stance, as q boat or sledge.

What Saved Wisconsin.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


Chairman Rublee,of the State
central committee, sustained by the
other members of that committee,
did not hesitate to put forth the ad-
mirable address which pronounced
the Republican party of Wisconsin
as an honest-money and civil-service
reform party. 1t was brave thing
to do in the face of the politicians
and 1t was done bravely.
The result has justified the course
of Mr.. Rublee and his committee in
deciding that an aggressive cam
paign on live issues was better than
efforts to compromise with the green
hackers or an attempt to win by the
revival of sectional bitterness.

on the llth day of October, 1878, one black

tiers, and Immediately below, in news
paper style, are head lines similar to
those employed by daily newspapers
in giving the points Of the most i'm
portant news, and then each head
line is taken up by the school aud a
general interchange of views takes
place between the teacher and the pu-
pills. The Bulletin is the daily paper
of that room and an editor is elected
oy the school every month, whose du
ty 1t Is to examine the Pittsburgh pa
pers every morning, and write down
on the black board before school hours
the points for discussion, to give a
heao line resume of the news of the
day, as it were and # the editor ex-
hibits capacity for the work intrusted
to him he is often reelected TO his
high position. Of course the discus
sion does not take in news of every
description, but only of the most in
teresting character. 1t includes for
eign news, editorial topics, local news,
etc.
This exercise is regarded as a part
of their school work and is entered
into by every pupil with the greatest
possible interest, and many of them,
whose parents can afford it purchase
a newspaper every morning and stu.
dy its entire contents just as they do
their grammar, their geography and
arithmetic. BY means of the Bulletin
every scholar learns the important
news of the day and is enabled to I'M
derstand the various great questions
which agitate the public mind. The
value of an exercise Of this kind is be
yond description and it is hoped that
it will become an established custom
in every public school in this country.
