to serve as the basis for map of these un-
known regions. The Sivel will be inflated
with pure hydrogen. Its cubic contents
will be $1,000 metres, its diameter ~
metres, and its lifting power 16, 500 kilo-
grammes, the ascensional force being 1
kilogramme 100 grammes per cubic metre
The evelope of the balloon will consist OF
China silk OF the best quality, covered with
a new and absolutely impermeable varnish,
which will still more increase the resisting
power of the silk and make it capable OF
enduring without rupture a pressure OF
2,400 kilos per square meter.
BALLOON WITHIN BALLOON.
The balloon will be made in 48 pieces or
cores; its volume will be Il, $50 m. C. 661,
and its surface 1888 m. c. 568. In form it
will be perfect sphere. The Sivel is to be
provided with small interior balloon or
air pocket peculiar to itself, and whose
capacity will be 5000 cubic metres. The
object of this contrivance is to keep the ex-
terror balloon always completely inflated
and under an equal pressure, and it will
also to a considerable degree obviate the
serious dangers incident to possible sndden
changes in altitude due to those hygrometric
and thermometric variations, which are the
principal causes of the instability of bal
looms.
The interior balloon, or ballonnet, is itself
provided with two automatic safety valves;
it will communicate with a ventilator of
great power moved by an electric engine
The yentilator will be SO under the control
of an exterior manometer or hand gauge
that when the gas in the exterior balloon
expands the ballonnet's volume is proper
tionately decreased; if it contracts the bal
loonet enlarges and the Sivel will remain
perfectly inflated.
1t will be noticed that the interior bal
loon, when full. occupies one-fifth the vol
ume Of the exterior envelope. This proper
tion, though it may seem large, is only the
proper one, for an aerostat in using $50
meters loses enough gas on account Of the
decreased atmospheric pressure to decrease
the amount by tenth.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE.
Furthermore, the difference in tempera-
ture. which is always greater within bal
loon than that of the surrounding air,
amounting to 2So centigrade, is sufficient to
cause loss through the dilation of the gas
eous mass equaling another tenth OF the
balloons volume. These two effects COM
bined-atmospheric depression and varia-
| tion of temperature-are sufficient to necessl-
tate the one-fifth volume given the ballonnet.
With the Sivel will be carried four "bal-
lonnets pilotes," 30 cubic metres in size.
These are to be set free at the Pole to assist
4 in the study of the aerial currents in thai
region. There will also be provided IL

Hermite and Besancon formed their plan
without any knowledge of the work done by
their predecessors in this line of research.
1t is only recently that they were informed
of the documents written by their prede-
cessors, and were thus enabled to utilize
them.
In recognition Of the unexpected aid thus
received, and also in order to render a

Or out of doors in many hiding place.

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
Examples of the Wonders Which This In

Examples of the Wonders Which This In
strument Reveals.
Within 80 years a fascinating branch of
geological study has been developed.
Rocks and minerals as seen under the
microscope present a wonderful display of
colors, and in structure a great variety of
FORMS DR.. II. Hensoldt, says the Youths
Companion, writes of the pleasure and in
teresting information afforded by such OBJ
servations.
Especially striking and lovely is the ap-
pearance of many of the volcanic or igneous
rocks, when reduced to thin sections, and
examined under tine microscope. The dull
ish green lava, called pitch stone, which is
found in dikes on the island of Arran, on
the west coast of Scotland, exhibits under
the microscope whole forests of fern trees,
garlands, leaves and flowers of marvellous
magnifcence. A granite from Corn wall
contains needle-shaped crystals of tourmal-
inc, radiating star-like from common CEN
ter.
Basalts, obsidians, porphyries and SER
pentines from various localities show laby-
rinths of multi-colored crystals resembling
rows of pillars, turreted castles and fairy
caves, glowing in all the tints of the rain
bow.
The sedimentary or stratifed rocks, while
they cannot under the microscope equal
their Plutonic rivals in brilliancy of color
or gorgeousness of crystalline display, make
up for this deficiency by other features Of
interest.
Many marbles and limestones are found
to be literally composed of foraminifera,
the tests OF rhizopods, resembling tiny shells
of the most dellcate and beautiful forms.
Thin sections of almost any piece of flint
exhibit under the microscope quite little
world of curious organic remains, such as
sponge spicules, xanthida, small fragments
Of coral, and the formaminifera already
mentioned, indicating that flint rocks are
fossil sponges which have become solid by
modification of the process which makes

PLATING WITH ALUhINUM-Ah highly
important step in the great problem Of util-
izing aluminium has been taken. Its author
is NJ. Brin, of Paris, says the New York
Tribune, who is q well-known metallurgist
and industrial chemist The metal is now
produced in considerable quantities, and at
a price much lower than q few years ago.
But ell that is nothing. 1t still holds its
rank as precious metal. Yet it is by far
the most abundant of all metals and should
be the cheapest of all. M. Brln believes,
moreover, that it will prove to be the most
useful Of metals, displacing even iron and
steel.
The invention which he has made relates
to the plating of other metals with alu-
minum. His process is practically as fol-
lows: The metal to be plated, be it iron,
steel, copper or what not, is first thoroughly
cleaned in an acid bath. Then it is placed
in a compound bath. the Ingredients Of
which are borate of soda, hydrated aluminia,
and some kind of fusibie fux. Then it
goes into mufie, having several trays OF

In order that the aerostat, instead Of ris-

moderate and fixed distance from the ground
and so enable Photographic observations to

drag on the water. The ropes will retard
the balloons motion, and if the gas becomes
too expanded will act as movable anchors.
These guide ropes, made of wire, are ex-
pected to play 60 small part in the expedi-
tion's success. The initial cut shows the
Sivel, with its girdle of auxiliary balloons
and its trailing guide rope.

A MODERN NERo-Geueral Sanchez,
who has been engaged in making the lives

Night and day the steam engine is pump
ing sea water from depth of 80 feet. All
this involves much labor and .watchfulness.
Up till July % he had collected 80, ,820, 900
cod ova. Of these 16, 100, 900 were rejected,
and II, 100, 900 were hatched, and the young
fish were "planted" in good and healthy
condition in the waters of Trinity Bay.
Thus 50L per cent OF the total ova obtained
were successfully Matched, which is q satis-
factory average.
OF the 700 cod captured, % per cent died
from various causes, such as injuries re-
ceived from the hooks when taken, or after
ward in handling, or diseases of different
kinds. It is curious to find that many of
the fish carried dead ova in very large guam
titles. This is supposed to be caused by the
ravenous cod gorging themselves on the
caplin to such an extent that the overloaded
stomachs press unduly on the ovaria and
iniure the delicate ova. Mr.. Nielsen would
have obtained much larger number OF
ova from the fish which were handled but
for the destruction arising from this cause.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE.
There are, however, still in stock in the
pounds 260 fine fish, or 81 per cent OF the
whole and from the condition in which
these are now Mr.. Nielsen expects that
number will spawn in few days, so that he
will be able to go on Matching up till De-
cember or later, and thus considerably in
crease the number already planted. He
also hopes to preserve a number of these
splendid cod that will not spawn this year,
so as to give him a stock of spawners in
early spring next pear. Whether they will
live in the pounds throughout our cold
winter is doubtful, but the experiment is
worth trial.
Another difficulty Mr.. Nielsen had to
contend with this year arose from the enor-
nous quantities of ice around the coast,
which chilled the waters and kept the cod
from coming in to spawn till late in the
season. This curtailed the supplies of cod
and caused many to spawn outside in deep
water, where they could not be taken. The
great object is 10 obtain plenty of spawning
fish early in the season, so as to give time
for Matching on a large scale. In his hatch
cry Mr.. Nielsen has capacity for Matching
300, ,00O, 900 of cod in one season. Owing to
the difficulties and drawbacks referred to,
his "output" OF young fry this year will
not probably exceed % 000, 900 or 80, 600, 900.
Much depends on the condition of the
weather between the present date and
| Christmas. Should the temperature fall
below 3S degrees Matching would have to be
discontinued.
