The man who had faith enough in this air
steamer to advance money to help build it
was not one of the California millionaires, as
one might expect. 1t was person who was
himself 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 a long mark in its
favor.
The car part consists of hickory or white
ash ribs, veneered with birch. 1t is flat-bot-
toned. The balloon or inflated part is divided
into three compartments by strong, white
cotton sheetng. This prevents the rush of
gas to one portion OF the balloon. The bag 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 net of fiat woven
linen bands, with 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 CONT
nent from San Francisco to New York, but cir
cumstances have thus far prevented his max
ing the attempt. There is lack of money suf-
ficcnt to try the experiment, for one thing.
This is how it it at present with the bright
idea that struck Billy Patterson. The pro
polling force of the machine i&placed imme-
diately at the intersection Of the car and
balloon, so that both can Ike controlled by it.
The engine is THUS elevated above the bottom
of the car. The HerreSholH engine is employed.
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 rawhide 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 rudder and
propeller
Living accommodations are provided with
in the car. 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 usual method is to soak the leaves
for long time in rain water until they
are quite decayed, but those who haye
had considerable experience in the work
recommend a quicker method, the i'm
mersion of the leaves in boiling aka
line solution, the time of immersion to
be regulated by the character of the
various leaves and the nature of the
epidermis to be removed When it is
seen that the green part of the leaf is
dissolving put the leaf on a fiat white
earthen plate and cover it with clear
water. Then, being gently squeezed
with the fingers, the membranes will
begin to open and the green substance
will come out at the edges. The mem
branes must be carefully taken off with
the finger, and great caution must be
used in separating them near the middle
rib. The skeletons must then be
thoroughly bleached by exposing them
to the fumes of chlorine gas. If to this
vapor be added that of peroxide of
hydrogen the fibres of the leaves are
strengthened, 80 that they can be readily
arranged-after being dried by pressure
between folds of tissue paper-in bou-
quets. Boston Transcript.

Remarkable Bremen Cellars.

AS for the cities-for they are really
the subject of our observations, the peo-
pie being merely accessories, as in Claude
Lorraine's landscape-Bremen was the
first as well as one of the most interest
ing that we have seen. 1t is pretty
little town, chiefly noted for three things,
its present freedom, the former influence
of the celebrated Hanseatic league, and
the bleikeller With regard to the sec
ond of these peculiarities it is only nee
essary to say that the leaders of the
league used to meet in the rath-haus
(town halD here, particularly affecting
the large and well-filled cellars apper-
tanning thereto. In one of these cellars
is "a vault containing twelve hogsheads
of old wine; each cask is named after an
apostle. In an adjoining vault is thir-
tenth cask bearing the device of a rose;
on the ceiling is a large, gigantic figure
of the same flower. 1t is from the num-
Der of secret meetings which took place
here that the term Sub rosa" is derived.
The bleikeller, or lead cellar, has the
peculiar property of preserving bodies
which heve been buried in it. Although
in open cases, some have been kept for
nearly 200 years. There are two or three
other places in Europe which have the
same power as in Bordeaux and some
parts of Italy-there, however, the
monks attribute the effect to miracles,
not to natural causes.-Cor. Albany

NORWAY AND ITS PEOPLE.

Entainment for the Traveller - Social
Traits of the Norwegians.
AS every farmer is compelled by law
to entertain the traveller and furnish a
fresh steed to continue the journey, there
is no occasion to hurry forward to
hotel 1t is also delightful to be absolved
from the fear that darkness will over
take you. This feeling of security, how
ever, must be acquired by experience.
On one of my first trips | found myself
ten miles from my destination at pm,
and as darkness is always Zee shore"
to a traveller, the whip was vigorously
piled for some time before l realized the
true state of affairs. Then the pony
grazed, while l promised myself never
to say anything about it. The Norweig
ians are characterized by honesty, in
dustry, cheerfulness and sobriety, which
is more than can be truthfully said of
many European nations. You must
watch them or they will be guilty of
understanding. Quite different from
the gallant Neapolitan who demanded
dollar for ferrying me to Capri steamer,
and finally agreed to perform the service
for 8 cents.
The stranger in Norway is welcomed
with genuine hospitality and, on ac-
count of the people having so many
relatives in the land of plenty, Amer
leans are favored guests. So interested
are these people in our country that
1000 recently gathered upon the dock at
Christiana to bid farewell to a party of
70
sofa, Montana and Dakota, which are
more like home" to people of the north
land. Most of the Norwegians speak
one or more foreign languages. All the
officials and agents understand our
tongue. On two Norske steamers l be-
gan with the captain, and even though
my boots were "chalked" in the engine
room, l failed to find one of the crew
who could not converse in Eng lish
Many of the common people are well
versed in English literature. In several
households found the latest novels of
Howells and James, and works of the
standard authors in abundance. Milton
and Shakespeare have furnished text
books for the public schools, which fact
by the way, gives a comical poetic tinge
to conversation.
The long winter impels these people to
study, and as their own literature is yet
in its infancy, recourse has naturally
been had to that of other nations.
Education is compulsory. Great interest
is manifested in higher culture. When
recently in Christiana, 500 applications
were made for the entrance examination
at the university, whose professors will
compare favorably with any in the i'm
portance and extent of their original
work, especially in the natural sciences.
The Norwegians are essentially relig
ious people. Reformed Lutheranism i:
the established church. Their govern
ment is that of limited monarchy
King Oscar has not the power of abso-
lutte veto. The lower house of parlia-
ment is elected by the people to serve
three years, and these delegates choose
one-third of their number to compose
the upper house.-Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.

Readers for magazines and story papers
have an endless task. The reader" en-
ployed upon leading American maya
zine, peruses on an average fifteen
original contributions day, and on the
average rejects twelve of them. In
twelve months single New York pub
fishing house received the manuscripts
of thousand novels. The late Henry
j.. Raymond was perhaps one of the best
READERS" this country has ever pro-
duced.
All the large publishing houses employ
"reader"-a man or woman who pc
ruses all manuscripts offered and either
accepts or rejects them. From the de-
cision of this literary monster there is no
appeal. Ambitious authors complain
that it is unjust to be compelled to sub
NIT TO the decision of one person. 1t is
the writer's desire to make an appeal to
the public and not to one man. That
can not be made without the types, and
the barren hOnors of the types can be
had only by the judgment and decision
of the reader" who in most cases is &C
culate and impartial NJ. Clemens

fish at the end of the first week. How
it did smell! | did not want to touch it,

Thomas f. Benedict was born at Warwick,
Orange county, n. Y, in 1889. His educa-
ton was obtained at the common school and
at the Warwick institute He engaged in
teaching during his early years. and drifted
thence into railroad office, and finally into
bookkeeping. He always had an affinity for
printing offices, however, and, wherever he
lived, was sure to be an industrious CORE
spondent of the local newspaper. He moved
to Ulster county in 1868 as a bookkeeper of
the Ulster Iron Rolling mill, and in 1870
started The Ellenville Press in partnership
with his brother, G. H. Benedict. The paper
gained a reputation for its vigorous De
mocracy, and in 1873 the firm purchased The
Banner of Liberty, which they conducted as
a staunch Democratic weekly, gaining for it
a circulation that extended to every state
and territory of the Union In 1879 Mr..
Benedict was elected to the New York legisla-
ture and was reelected for four successive
terms, each year by an increased majority
There he gained the confidence and friend
ship of Governor Cleveland, Daniel Manning
and other leading Democrats, and in 1884
was appointed deputy comptroller, which of
flee he has since filled He is known
especially for his executive ability and I'M
blemished integrity.

clerk to the public printer, is brother of his

Mesmeric Trance for AIcoholism.

A suggestion is made by The journal
of lnebriety which is sufficient to open
up new field of reform work. Hypnot-
ism, or IA form of mesmeric trance into
which individuals of "a peculiar tenn
permanent can be thrown by person of
more positive mental qualities, is pro-
posed as method of treatment for the
alcohol habit. The theorist claims that
the patient can be hypnotized and while
in that condition made to realize the
horrors and perils of inebriety. A shock
to the brain centers is thereby impaired
which is said to effect a permanent

WILLIAM PATTERSON air navigation, yet
let no one doubt that the problem will be
solved. If Professor Patterson does not do it,
thea somebody else will This is the age of
wonder.
Mr.. Patterson has invented number Of
articles in his time. One of them is an auger
which cuts square hole. He is disabled
soldier and wears G.. A. r. badge.
For twenty years he has been studying
about this steam balloon He thought by day
anC dreamed by night. At last his mingled
dream and thought have taken material form
in the machine shown in the picture
1t will be observed that this balloon, like
craftsmanship and sail boat, takes the shape of
a bird or fish, those creatures which travel at
case through air and water. This is point
in its favor. The whole machine is $50 feet
long. In its widest part it is IS feet. 1t has
a lifting power of 1000 pounds. a unique
feature is its propelling power. This consists
of 3 separate engines of II horsepower each,
81 horse altogether. They work either to-
gether or separately. a parachute of ll,0OO
square feet is attached, to save the air trav-
elers il case of accident 1t lies folded upon
the side of the balloon, but can he unfurled
almost Instantly, the inventor says Great
arms or ribs are shot out and the covering
straightens itself upon them. The parachute
is opened and closed by the balloons steam
machinery. The car is T. feet deep. The
balloon part alone is 81 feet high The en-
tire height, bag, car and wheels and wheel
shafts is a feet. The whole machine weighs
$500 pounds and cost Sl5, 900.
