A BALLOON LINE.
Plan for an Elevated Road Over n
Louisiana swamp.
New orleans plcayune.

Several publications have recently
been made in regard to projected
line of balloons to run between Spanish
Fort and New Lake End. 1t has beer
found impracticable to construct, with.
out great expense, n railway betweek
those points, owing to the swampy ma
ture of the ground. The details OF the
contemplated balloon have not been
correctly or fully stated, and are given
below The plan is not original so
far as the principles involved are con-
cerned, but the application is ingenious.
1t is well know that, while balloons
have been constructed which are cap
able Of sustaining very large weights,
no successful method of directing the
course of the air-ship has been devised,
The plan referred to above utilizes the
full lifting capacity of the balloon and
provides the means of controlling its
movements.
Spiles or posts are set along the lake
shore, making complete circuit, re-
sembling Il telegraph line. Along these
posts on the top are placed guide rails
of peculiar form. Fitting the rails,
and sliding freely on them, are riders or
attachments to which are made fast the
guide ropes holding and guiding the
balloon, and so arranged rs to brace it
against the wind from any direction
Fitted in the posts are puleys over
which is passed wire rope, making n
complete circuit like belt and gliding
on the pulleys; and this rope is moved
at any rate of speed 10y an engine sta
toned at proper point in the circuit.
The balloon IS made in an elliptical
form, the length twice the height, and
pointed at the ends, thus giving the
least surface for resistance to the at
mosphere. From this, suspended by
the netting which envelops the balloon,
is an iron frame on which the car is
hung by double pivots, similar to n
ships pinnacle. The weight being in
the car, it remains in its proper posi-
ton, being braced by the guide ropes,
while the float or balloon oscillates
above as if it moved 10y the wind.
The car is fitted with graphing at
tachment, which passes through tackles
in the frame and to the car. The NOV
ing wire rope is seized By the graphing
hook and the car and float move for
ward, drawn by the endless rope and
guided by the rudders which slide
along the rails, from which it is impos-
sible for them to become detached. II
it is necessary to stop the grapple, il
can be let 50 instantly and the car
stopped. Any number Of cars can be
used, following each other at short in
tervals. The guide ropes can be
heightened at will, and the car allowed
TO float at any desired height, being un-
der perfect control. The posts having
only the weight of the guide rails, and
no grading being required, it will be
seen that cost Of construction is com
paratively small.
The plan appears to be feasible. 1t
remains to be seen how it will work
when put into actual operation. II the
attempt is successful, the aerial route
will be extensively patronized. i is
understood that company il being
formed to undertake the enterprise.

An Iowa Diana CraeteSa Sensation in
Wyoming


Hot springs Cwyol Correspondence Charlton
Ua.) Leader.
One of your lady residents is, at this
writing, ranked as heroine by the
natives of this wild, both whites and In
dams. Miss Maggie Foreman, who
came to the mountains few days
since to visit relatives, has accomplished
feat of which few hunters can boast.
Miss Foreman came to the springs,
which are situated twenty-eight miles
above Fort Steele, on the head-waters
of the North Platte, with her sister, to
spend few days in the very heart Of
the wild country. Mr.. "Jim" Adams,
a noted hunter and scout, accompanied
the party as guide and general
protector.
On Tuesday last scout from Fort
Steele came up with dispatches for
surveying party away above us in Il e
Medicine Bow Mountains. Being an
old friend and chum of Jim, the later.
ter saddled n broncho to accompany
him few miles just for chat. "Jlm's"
favorte horse was picketed in the grass
near camp,and Miss Foreman remarked
10 her sister-who is the wife Of Mr..
Adams brother-that the horse was
such handsome one she had a great
desire to take ride on him. Her sis.
ter replied that she had often taken
gallon on the animal, and that he was
perfectly safe. The horse was brought
in, and the writer saddled him and as
sisted Miss Foreman to mount. She
galloped around the camp awhile, and
was about to dsmount, when a shot
was heard about 500 yards up the
river, and moment later an enormous
elk came dashing out Of the ravine,
with Jim" short distance behind 10
iull chase. The elk was wounded, but
yet able to run at great speed. Ine
writer, in sport only, never dreaming
she would undertake it, handed
Miss Foreman a large army Colts
revolver, and told her to 70 and help
catch the enormous animal. Miss
Foreman took the weapon and started
toward the elk, which was but short
distance away at that moment And
now began an exciting chase. TIE
horse was thoroughly trained for such
work By Mr.. Adams, and, as soon as
started upon the trail, dashed forward
with frightfrl speed. Adams urged

Cheap Gas.
Toledo Blade.

Anew era is dawning. a gas company
exists in Philadelphia which has offer
cd 10 supply that city with gas AT 30
cents for a thousand cubic feet. There
will be no humbug about the matter
The gas is to be good, consisting chief
" OF hydrogen, and not Of carbonic OK.
ide." The only stipulation made is
that the arrangement shall be upon a
business basis. without any intermix-
ture Of politics.
The formation ofthe gas il accomp-
lished by means Of the "Gill process. !"
Nearly pure hydrodgen can be pro-
duced. it is claimed, by superheated
steam acting upon incandescent coal.
BY adding small amount Of carbon
in vapor, the best illuminating
gas, both for brilliancy and uniform
l.y can be produced, while the
expense is very small, as four gallons
naphtha and twenty-five pounds coal,
whose combined cost is only - cents,
will make thousand cubic feet. There
will be no deposits Of lampblack, and
