by Spanish artillery officer, the con.
struction of which is, in the opinion

principles. The machine. which is Of

can be made to ascend or descend at
pleasure, and can, according TO the state,
ment of the inventor, be turned in any
required direction. IL consists of two
air-bags, as they are called by the in
ventor, one of which is filed with
hydrogen gas and the other with COM
pressed air. When the latter is so far
filed that its weight, together with that
of the car and its load, exactly counter
balances the lifting power of the for
mer, the machine will naturally neither
rise nor fall. If the compressed air is
allowed to escape from it's bag the
weight will be reduced and the machine
will rise, the altitude 1t will attain de-

air liberated. If. on the other hand,
IL is desired to make the machine de-

A Singular Disaster.

The astonishing accident 10 the
steamer Bohemian, which took place at
Montreal recently, adds still another
calamity 20 the list Of marine mishapg
which Of late has already heen 70 ex-
tended. The Bohemian left her dock Il
few moments before the accident, and
with about fifty passengers and an as-
sorted cargo, being bound for the Upper
st. Lawrence, passed into canal lock No.
2 from the Lachine canal basin. She
was going at half speed at this time, but.
TO the amazement and terror of ali be-
holders she WAS seen TO put on full
steam, and to dash straight at the OPP
posite cate. Now, this gate was the
sole barrier between the Bohemian and
n mass Of water thirteen feet higher
than that on which she hoated, mile
in length, and several hundred feet in
width.
The effect Of the impact OF the BOhc-
mian was instantaneous. The gates
were crushed like 80 much brittle glass,
and the flood, in Niagara torrent
poured in, carrying everything before
IL. The steamboat was whir ed back, in
spite Of her engine, TO the basin she had
left. The water drove furiouEly on, sub
merging wharfs. sinking many small
vessels, engulfng numbers Of labJrers.
and cprrying terror and ruin in every
direction. II is said that the deluge Of
water set the huge ocean steamships in
the harbor of Montreal dancing like 90
many cOckloshells. AS for the B0he-
mian. she sank in four minutes from the
time she struck the gate. But owing, rs

forth by the publishers of several papers
devoted TO the subject OF counterfeit
detecting to have the proposal taken
up. An interview was arranged TO
come off between George w. Casilear,
the head of the bureau of engraving and
printing Mt Washington, ana Ballard, in
the Albany penitentiary, but through
some hitch or other IL was never carried
out. Ballard has several times since
that renewed his proposition and
endeavored through parties who interest
ed themselves in his behalf outside
to get the matter TO the governments
attention. though without success.
Despairing of everything alter this he
made two attempts 10 commit suicide,
but failed in both. He has asserte
positively and persistently since his
imprisonment that there is n way by
which money can be made that no man
living can counterfeit. AS Ballard is
known TO be one of the finest, most
skillful, most ingenious engrayers OF
the country, in prison or out of prison,
there are many persons who think the
government would do well TO give him
hearing. Again, ii has been suggest
ed that the government should offer
reward of sufficiently liberal proportions
for design for banknotes which it
would be impossible to counterfeit.
There are plenty of ideas in the heads
of the engravers, it is claimed, by which
such design could be produced, but
nobody wishes to give away their ideas
without q recompense. At the treasury
department, it is understood, there is a
belief that there is too much engraving
on the government notes. Instead of
so much of this kind of work, it is
supposed to substitute system of
scroll-work for either the back or face
of the bill. The more intricate this
work the more assurance of the inabil
ity to make a perfect counterfeit.
Some counterfeits are executed with
such mastery skill, and such faithful
ness to the smallest details Of the origi-
nal, with such perfection in every line
and feature, thar they stand out as mar
vels of initiative genius. To produce
such work the highest order of artistic
skill is requisite. The business of
counterfeiting monopoliZeG some Of the
most finished talent to be found in the
engrayer's profession. Whether il is
the incentive found in the prospect OF
large though unlawful gains, or the
fascination held on by business ever
attended by danger, the counterfeiter
seems, rs soon rs he gets launched into
the work, TO be favored by some special
genius which quickens his skill and
sharpens his perceptions t. an extent
that Is almost miraculous. On the
wall of the Counterfeit DetectoT's Office
there hangs n splendid picture of the
late Governor Allen, of Ohio, n grand
face, with curves and lines and wrinkles
exactly the type Of face seen in the old
Roman cuts where Brutus and Caesar
