Electricity i'm the RallOon.

The discovery of practical means Of storing
up electricity in the secondary batteries of NJ
CASTOR Plante and NJ. Camille Faure has been
followed by a suggestion to drive balloons by
the electric power contained in these useful res
ervoirs. Some recent experiments i'm this di-
rection have been made by NJ. CASTOR Tissan-
der, the eminent French aeronaut, who has
constructed a small balloon about eleven feet
long by four and half feet in diameter filed
with pure hydrogen gas, and fitted with a
double-bladed screw propeller, driven by a
dynamo-electric motor, made by NJ. Trouve and
weighing only eight ounces The motor is ac-
tuated by the electric current from a Plante
secondary battery weighing three pounds, and
drives the screw at the rate of six and half
turns per second. This balloon has an ascend
ing force of four and a-half pounds, and is
propelled at speed of over three feet per
second. From these trials M. Tissandier cal
culates that hydrogen balloon of about 1900
cubic yards volume would have an ascending
force of about three and a-half TONS 1t could,
therefore, take on board seventeen cwt. of
secondary batteries and five cwt. DYNAMO
electric motor, and still be able to carry from
one to two tons of ballast and passengers
This apparatus would provide six horsepower
Of work, and in calm weather he calculates the
balloon could be propelled through the air at q
speed OF from twelve to fifteen miles per hour.
OF course this rate could only be maintained
for limited time, that is to say, for few hours,
but when these useful accumulators are i'm
proved. this time, is expected, will be con-
siderably extended.

Kaiser Wilhelm as a Figure-head.

/ rom the Caruin Times.
Personally the Emperor of Germany is large
limoed good-natured. not too quck-witted man.
WHO PLAYS at war and politics with a simple
gravity charming as a study of character. He is.
i'm his warlike aspect a little more real than our
lamented King George, who had SO often de-
scribed the event that he died in the mistaken
belief that he had led a charge of cavalry at the
battle Of Waterloo. The Emperor William has
actually heard the distant roar Of artillery, and
has looked upon the smoke of battle when the
firing had ceased. We all remember the pretty
knack he had of riding up to the great battle
fields OF 1870 just as all was over. and dating,
from amidst the slain. blood-red kilograms to
his dear Augusta" praising God for this new
victory. l don't mean TO say that he would not
have Joined i'm the fray had need been or eti-
quete permitted. He comes of a soldier family
and his sons showed during the same campaign
the stuff of which the old tree was made. But
there being no need for him to draw his sword
he was kept out of the range of bullets. and his
movements carefully timed so that he might
come in with the flourish of trumpets that an
nounced a fresh and heavier defeat of the
French.
In war Won Moltke did the fighting and the
Emperor wrote the kilograms from the battle
field. Similarly in politics Bismarck plots and
schemes. and often wins, and when all is ready.
the old Emperor iS trotted out at interviews,
which take place i'm the face of the world. and
Whereat the harmless old gentleman ponder
ously plays his puppet-part and thinks he is
moving the world. The real Emperor of Ger
many is the heavv-lO0king. burly man. who not
SO many years ago, i'm despair of his future. de-
clared that Heaven had intended him TO be
farmer. and that when he left his country home
to dabbe in politics, he was flying in the face of
Providence. Bismarck has profound and UNI
1eiSned reverence for his imperial master, as is
frequently shown in the volume of his Early
Letters, which. with characteristic and amaz-
ing frankness he half a dozen years ago per-
mitted the world to read. But he plays with
him with the skill and GOODNESS that a MARION
cite is handled by its proprietor. Probably the
last man in the world to suspect the autocracy
of Bismarck is tie Emperor William. Yetevery-
one else knows that in Germany the Emperor
reigns and Bismarck governs.
