q Immense Electric balloon.

The large electric balloon projected
by M. Tissandier, is to have the follow
ing Dimensions: The electric machine
is to weigh five cwt., and the secondary
batteries seventeen cwt., representing
about.five horse power. These will be
carried by an elliptcal balloon of vol
ume of LOG, 900 cubic feet. The balloon
is to be 13l feet long, and its diameter
in the centre 607 feet. The balloon
would have q lifting power of 81 tons,
and, consequently, would be able to
support one ton weight Of passengers,
ballast, &c., besides the batteries and
machinery.
With the air calm it's speed would be
from twelve miles to fifteen miles per
hour, which, of course, could be main
tanned for only few hours. M, Tissan-
der intends constructing such balloon
shortly, and undertaking voyages with
it over and around Paris. The problem
of aerial navigation can by no means be
considered as solved with this balloon.
Even if the first experiments should
not give satisfactory results, some ad-
vantage will be gained by the general
evidence they will supply Of the practi-
cability of the idea.

A Prosperous State.

The tax returns for the State Of
Georgia for the present year confirms
the claims put forth of the prosperous
condition of that State. These returns
show an increase of SIG, 255, 515 over the
total value of last year. The value of
farming lands has increased 81 000, 900,
while there is an increase of SIS, 1000, 600
in town and city property. In cotton
manufactures there is an increase of
over 81, 600, 900. but this does not fairly
show the boom in this line, as there are
in course of erection cotton factories
which will cost several millions of
dollars, which were not subject to as
-sessment this year.
