A Balloon Experience.

From an article on Amateur Balloon
ing" in the September Century we quote
os follows: "As nearly as could be judg-
ed, [ was more than mile high, and all
sounds from the earth had ceased, There
was a death-like silence which was simply
awful. 1t seemed to my overstrained
nerves to fOrbode disaster. The ticking
of the watch in my pocket sounded like
triphammer. [ could feel the blood as
1t shot through the veins of my head and
arms. My straw hat and the willow car
snapped and cracked, being contracted
by the evaporation of the moisture in
them and by the fast-cooling temperature.
[ was compelled to breathe little quick
er than usual on account of the rarity of
the atmosphere. I because sensible of a
loud, monotonous hum in my ears, pitch
ed about on middle G of the piano, which
seemed to bore into my head from each
side, meeting in the center with a pop;
then for an instant my head would be
clear, when the same experience would be
repeated. By throwing out small pieces
of tissue-waper saw that the balloon was
still rapidly ascending. While debating
with myself as to the ACCESSIBILITY of pull
ing the valve-rope Il was afraid to touch
it for fear il would break and discharg-
ing some gas, the earth was lost sight of
and the conviction was forced upon me
that this must be the clouds! 1t makes
me dizzy to think of it. Above, below,
and upon all sides was a dense, damp,
chilly fog. Upon looking closer, large
drops of rain could be seen, silently fall
ing down out of sight into what seemed
bottomless space.

Metals In Plants.

Late Investigations indicate that
the chlorophyll, orgreen coloring sub
stance OF the leaves, is most liable to
pick up metallic matter absorbed by
the roots of plants. When vines have
been MANFRED with sulphate of cop
per, most of the metal is deposited in
the leaves, merely a doubtful trace
appearing in the juice Of the grapes.
Tea leaves contain much iron, doubt
less due to the ochreous soil on which
they best grow.

Photographic Progress.

The possibility of photographing
in the dark has been shown by Alb.
ney, an English experimenter. He
has succeeded in preparing plates
which are sensitive to the rays lying
beyond the red end of the spectrum
the dark heat rays-and with such
plates used with rock salt lens it
should be possible to photograph
bodies having a higher temperature,
although that temperature may be far
below that necessary to render them
self-luminous.

A HAUNTED VEssEL.--The three masted
schooner VIM. 81. Jordan lies at the Iron
Works Docks, at Somerset, Mass, deserted
by all except her colored cook. She ia re-
puted among the villagers to be haunted
and her owners find it almost impossible to
ship crew. She arrived at Boston three
weeks ago with cargo of coal. A week
ago Saturday Capt. Theesher was killed
while overseeing the unloading of an an
cnor from q train at the railroad dock.
That night the mate and cabin boy went to
bed about 9 O'Clock. The mate says ne
woke and heard the captains voice giving
the order, 'Take hold of that anchor" AT
last" Gays the mate, Il dozed again, and
Just as was about to lose myself l heard
something going on up forward on deck. l
thought it might he the cook rolling barre!s
about, and paid no attention TO it until
heard fearful thump on deck. Then
sprang up and rushed on deck and looked
around. I could not see soul on board
aud after waiting awhile went below anu
laid awake until daylight. When went
on deck I found that the how anchor had
been dropped from the bows At nearly TO
the waist, whare the shore plank IS. lt
takes q gooi many men to handle mat
piece Of iron, aud how it got there 1 don't
know" That same day the mate and cab
in boz quit tbs vessel and left for parts un.
known. The ghost story has been 80 wide
" circulated that the owners are unable to
enpeya n nsy crew
