air navigation, yet
let no one doubt that the problem will be
solved. If Professor Patterson does not do it,
then somebody else will. This is the age of
wonder.
Mr.. Patterson has invented a number Of
articles in his time. One of them is an auger
which cuts a square hole. He is Il disabled
soldier and wears a G.. A. r. badge.
For twenty years he has been studying
about this steam balloon. He thought by day
and dreamed by night. At last his mingled
dream and thought lave taken material form
in the machine shown in the picture.
1t will be observed that this balloon, like
the steamship and saa boat, takes the shape of
ease through air and water. This is a point
in its favor, The whole machine is $50 feet
long. In its widest part it is 49 feet. 1t has
a lifting power Of 1900 pounds. A unique
feature is its propelling power. This consists
of 8 separate engines of IL horsepower each,
So horse altogether. They work either to-
gether or separately. A parachute of 1900
square feet is attached, to save the air trav-
elers in case of accident. 1t lies folded upon
the side of the balloon, but can be. unfirled
almost instantly, the inventor says. Great
straightens itself upon them. The parachute
is opened and closed by the balloons steam
machinery. The car is IL feet deep. The
balloon part alone is "a feet high. The en-.
tire height, bag, car and wheels and wheel
shafts is % feet. The whole machine weighs
$500 pounds and cost $4,000.

he went to Newburg, where he, set type
on the old Newburg Telegraph, and thence
gravitated to New York city, where, for
nearly ten years, he worked in the largest
book and job printing concern in the metrop-
oils. After one or two attempts at country
newspaper editing, he formed a partnership
with his brother, L. q. Benedict, in conduct
ing The Ellenville Press and Banner of
Liberty, of which paper he has been sole
proprietor for the past three years. He was
q member of Typographical Union No. 8, of

PATTERSON'S STEAM
Til man who had faith enough in this mir
steamer to advance money to help build it
was not one Of the California mi~llionaires, as
one might expect. 1t was q person who wa
himself a practical aeronaut, Professor Carl
Meyers, of New York. The fact that he,
with his experience, put in his money to CON
struct the thing, scores q long mark in its
favor.
The chr part consists of hickory or white
ash ribs, veneered with birch. 1t is fiat-bot.
toned. The6alloon or inflated part is divided
into three compartments by strong, white
cotton sheeting. This prevents the rush of
gas to one portion Of the balloon. The Dag is
itself made of the STRONG, white cotton cloth,
Of triple thickness at the top. The danger OF
bursting is thereby lessened.
The bag Is inclosed in a net of fat woven
linen bands, with a three-inch mesh. The
netting is attached to the car by iron hooks,
caught into eyelets in leather straps.
Professor Patterson has expected for two
years to make the attempt to cross the conti-
nent from San Francisco to New York, but cir
c%nnstances have thus far prevented his MAX
ing the atte,nlts There is lac&. of money Tsaf-
sacient to try the experiment, for one thing.
This Is how it it at present with the bright
idea that struck Billy Patterson. The pro-
pelling force Of the machine is placed imme.
diately at the intersection of the car and
balloon, so that both can be controlled by it.
The engine is thus elevated above the bottom
of the car. The HarresioR engine isemployed.
The wheels that appear below the edge OF
the car are to catch it when it lands and to
roll it upon land. They are attached to
bumpers and worked with machinery, SO
they will not Jolt and can be turned about in
any direction. The propeller screws that APP
pear beneath the car are made Of hollow steel
covered with green rnwhide. Each screw is
operated by one Of the engines. No ballast is
necessary. The balloon is elevated or de-
pressed by means Of the screws beneath. At
the stern appears the combined ruider and
propeller.
Living accommodations are provided with
In the cor. In the bow of the air boat is seen,
In the illustration, the mouth OF . pipe. This
supplies draft to the furnaces. The fuel en-
ployed has little bulk. The whole machine is
constructed to afford the greatest strength
with the least weight.

THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
The mammoth establishment that Mr.. BEN
edictnsssiunes charge of is the largest printing

the Capitol III what was once called SWAMI
p~oeile.n 1t requires an army of $500 men
and women the ysin' round, with a pay roll
ct about .Si35 400 per month to turn
out its productions. Over $3.50 tons Of
paper are fed into the capacious nav

pamphlets. maps, elegant hound books, in fact
everything possible In the way of printed
matter. The capacity OF this establishment
Is practically unlimited and the speed with
which 1t can execute work cannot be excelied
anywhere. AS congress has ordered the
printing OF every bill when introduced, and
reprinted every time an amendment Is
adopted, and as some of these bills are
amended us often as thirty seven times the
numbers Of copies ,of bills printed during a
Session OF congress amounts to millions upon
millions. The copy of u bill or report In
