A Balloon Railway Invented.
Grceuville News.l

Andrew j. Morrison, of Buffalo. Y.
H., has just made known his scheme Of
aerial navigation to his friends. The
seal Of tho secrecy which has hitherto
cnvcloped his operations has been re-
moved and he r%cjoices in the possession
of n patent which was granted last
week. Morrison was not content to en-
joy renown simply as the inventor Of a
~car-coupler or necktie fastener, hut
sought the broadcast field in which
man can labor-the illimitable expense
Of mir.
The new system Of rapid transit con-
sists Of n continuous series Of balloons,
anchored to the ground, adjustable to
any height, with i wire ;cable stretched
from one to the other. Along this
cable cars are made to travel by the
always reliable motor - gravitation.
The courageous passenger enters the
car from a convenient housctop or elc-
waited station, after which the anchor
rope is paid out, and the balloon is
allowed to rise high enough to make
the cable between it and the next ba-
loon an inclined plane. down which the
cars coast at great speed. AT the mex:
balloon station the operation is repeated
SO that the line becomes n succession of
inclined planes.
The inventor does not regard his idea
rs a mere plaything, but he believes in
its commercial success for the purpose
OF both passenger and freight traffic.
Therefore he does Tot tell to imngine a
life car traversing the rescuing line at
one of II life-suving stations, but
rather to contemplate an understood
passenger car. wheels and NIL, lifted
bodily in the air to n height sufficient
to enable it to run by gravity to tho
next balloon. The car hangs below the
cable, the wheels being above
the roof Of the car. The cable is con-
tinuous. 1t must be of great strength
to prevent it from being ruptured by it's
own weight and strain, let alone that
OF the cars. To lift any one point of
this cable to a greater height in order
to get tho necessary inclination between
it and the balloon at either side must,
'deed, be n task for a balloon to accom-
pi'sh, but then our province is not to
JUICE bnt record. Guy ropes are pro.
vided at each balloon to induce steadi-
ness. it is said.

war, from that time to the close, on
condition Of their laying down their

John ?. Upshur, who was Mr.. Lin

of the incident: soon after Mr.. Lin

States nnpon condition that they would
consent to the abolition Of slavery dis
banding of the i%nsurgcnt army, and would
acknowledge and submit to the laws Of

said !: "A hundred days. Well, we are
