A NEW AIR-SHIP.

A special dispatch from Bridgeport,
Conn, says: "Charles +. Ritchel, Of
this city, has invented ship designed
to sail through the air. Mr.. Ritchel
claims that it can he made to rise and
fall AZ desired, without throwing over
ballast or losing gas, as in balloons, and
will always float right side up. 1t is
cylindrical in form, and the ends are cut
off square. To this great cylinder,
which is intended to float in the air in Il
horizontal position, is attached by ropes
the framework of the machine There
is no rudder. Mr.. Ritchel having
found that with the present progress OF
invention it is impossible to steer an
air-ship with any degree of accuracy and
certainty. Under the floor, or network,
as it might more properly be called, is a
series of canvas shutters on iron frames,
tapping one over the other when closed,
thus making permanent air-rcsisting
floor.
"This latter feature is one of the
principal features of Mr.. Ritchel's in
WESTON. He says that the tendency of
a balloon, when in mid air, is to move
either up or down from one strata to
another with ever increasing velocity.
These movements have been checked
hitherto by ballast-throwing and by the
losing of gas. He proposes to remedy
this by the floor shutters and by the
means of canvas screw propeller
rugged below this floor and geared to
several cranks which may be driven by
men from the network OF the basket
above.
"The propeller worked one way tends
to push the balloon or ship upward, and
by being reversed draws it toward the
earth again. When an ascent is about
to be made the balloon is cut loose from
the earth, the shutters are opened SO as
to afford resistance to the air as the
machine rises upwards, and if necessary
the screw propeller is worked to aid in
tanning the machine towards the clouds.
After the desired attitude il reached the
screw is stopped, the shutters are
closed and the voyage proper commen-
ces. The descent can be made in the
same way.
"Another new feature which Mr.
Ritchel has introduced in ballooning is
a new style Of cloth for balloon cover
ing-a light and very strong substance,
which rain will not affect in either hot
or cold weather. 1t it is so strong that
it cannot be torn with the hand and f.,
though very thin, is almost totally i'm
pcrvious to light. He will soon publish
an illustrated description and plans of
the new ship"

A CONDUCTOR.

So many people fancy that to conduct
wants only to take stick and beat time.
Certainly in very easy instances this
may be sufficient, bnt in such cases with
out any conducting at all the bands
would go on as the German street bands
go on without any conductor. Thus
have seen Nine. Trebelli conduct chorus
in st. James Hall, and certainly this
amiable artist stands too high in her pro-
fessiOn to try and aspire to what is not
her business. So the Viscountess Folke-
stone certainly accomplished more diff
ficult task in training number of young
ladies', and forming stringed orchestra,
which under her able guidance perform
not very difficult, but very pleasing,
pieces with wonderful dash. do not
think that one member OF the whole or
chestra is as old as % years-and re-
markable ensemble. But if it came to
playing great and difficult scores, the
reading of which is already a great diff
iiculty, the judging of the right move
ment, the entry of instruments that have
sometimes so, 60 bars to count, and the
look at the conductors eye to guide them
at the precise moment of entry-when
it comes to making the orchestra under
composer, then it is when the great COM
poser shows the stuff he is made of.
How often have seen Berlioz-and this
is what | meant when alluding to his
nerves-jumping down from the con-
ductor's desk, pouncing upon the clari
onets and enchanting: "Your two in
struments are not in tune" Then each
of them gave his A, when with unfailing
certainty not only did he perceive an in
finitesimal difference, but instantly told
them, there and then, how to remedy it..
1t happened in our days to one of the
greatest conductors living, Hans Richter,
that the orchestra, when he first led it,
meant to play him some FRANKS, for, be
it known, that is just what orchestras
in general are mostly inclined to do.
The moment a new conductor comes be-
fore them they try any sort OF tricks to
see how he will get out OF it. The first
thing that happened was that the horn
list played Il passage badly, and when
Richter demonstrated he very obligingly
said: "Perhaps you would not mind
showing me what am to DOE" "With
pleasure" said Richter, took the horn
out of his hands, and showed him.
After he had done so to several other in
struments they were satisfied az to what
they wanted to know, and now it is suf-
ficient for him to lift up his hand, and
they understand and instantly endeavor
to carry out his observation-disclosures

Il STRAYGE STORY.

The prevalence Of drunkenness IN the
State prison at Auburn puzzled the Off
GERS for long time. TWAS at first sup
posed that whisky was brought II by
some one, but finally it was discovered
that distillery was in full operation
within the walls Of the institution. An
enterprising convict hadriggeda "worm"
IN secluded spot in the kitchen, and,
with corn meal and rye, was able to pro-
duce liquor that would intoxicate who
ever drank very much of it. The man
did thriving business, and when ne
was discovered he was making money at
a rapid rate. "Beer," as it Is called, is
made even at this day. The beverage is
a brewing of bread crust and yeast and
is exhlarating, if nothing more. The
men in the kitchen make it and sell it to
the prisoners. At one time counterfeit
ing was actually carried on in the prison.
limitations were made of silver coins
which would readily deceive unless
closely examined. Molds were made
Of plaster of paris, and the 10, 25 and 80
cent pieces were plated In the saddlery
hardware shop. The convicts were well
supplied with this bogus money, and a
great deal of it found its way into circu-
lation outside.
The men are not allowed to carry
watches, but great many of them do,
Notwithstanding the rule to the contrary.
Usually the watches are kept IN leather
bags which are suspended by string
about the neck underneath the clothing.
A good many of the prisoners read the
newspapers regularly. How they obtain
them is a mystery. The New York
dailies reach Auburn at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, aud often they VIII get into
the hands of the convicts the same even
ing. Of course, each prisoner is not
supplied with paper. One paper viii
do for a dozen men or more. The news
papers must be brought In by officers
who are little lax in discipline. It is
supposed that all letters written by con-
victs pass through the hands of the
chaplain, whose duty it is to see that
they contain no mischievous or in
proper language. Half Of the men in
the prison send and receive letters that
the chaplain never sees. These ego
through the underground" as the Off
GERS say. Generally they are taken in
andout by citizen foremen, whose sympa-
thies the men enlist. Some of the con-
victs send out for raw steaks, whick
they broil at the FORCES and in the fur
naces. Others prefer cake and pie, for
which they will spend every cent they
can procure. Joe Coburn used to have
two large mince pies sent to him regu-
larly twice a week from New York,
Finally the agent told Joe that he would
be compelled to deny him his toothsome
pastry and the semi-weekly shipment OF
pies was discontinued.-NeaO York
