RESCUE OF BALLOONf~s-M coULEr.
Professor C. E. Myers Of Mohawk, y. Y,
and his wife, better known as "Carlotta, "
have presented some novel theories Of air
currents ard practicable routes Of aerial
travel drawn from their experience, but little
is proved. All conclusions drawn from the
sailing OF a vessel across the wind are neces-
sarily misleading, for the vessel is guided by
working the force Of one fluid against
another; the sails take TIE wind, bat the hull
rests III tie water, a vastly denser auid, and
50 the rudder uses chat force TO partially cir
camyent tie other Bat an air ship would
all be IN the same fluid, and would inevitably
take the course Of the wind, sails, hull, rudder
and all Steering is out Of the question.

Dudley cable company states that it will begin
work on its lines soon, and during the last three
months half dozen other companies have been
talked about as possible applicants for fran
chises For several weeks there has been in

capitalists from Eastern cities. who propose, it
is said, to build and operate q horse

OF Ohio wheat Homer Baldwin, Of that
State, says 1t is better than that In other sec
tions. He looks upon the bright side and thinks
the future will bring fair returns.
President Boyer says that reports from all
parts of the State indicate that not moro than
half crop Of wheat can be hoped for this year.
There is good report from the extreme north
and from the extreme south part of the State,
but the central portion is very poor in its pros
poets He has talked with millers from all over
the State, and finds that the estimate Of small
crop is general. and that the prospects in his
line Of business are by no means good. Judg-

says 1t cannot possibly be above two-shrcs OF a
crop. and will do we'll if it makes ons-half, az
most of the reports indicate.
