Balloons In the French Navy,

Some experiments have been lately
conducted by the French navy. which
will have an important inf ence on the
future use Of the loon in time of wa.
A balloon was constructed with ca
pacity of ii, 300 feet, especially for ex-
perimental purposes 1t was inflated
with hydrogen, which was carried in
reservoirs under pressure of 100 atmos-
pheres A tail rope 130 feet long served
to connect the balloon with ship of the
feet when the balloon was required to
be kept captive for accommodating pur-
posea 1t was found that on clear day
all important objects within radius Of
IS to "a miles were clearly distinguished.
Another very important point was
that the waters Of the sea, when OBJ
served from a considerable altitude,
were found to be singularly clear, and
tie details of the bottom were in one
of the ascents perfectly distinguishable,
even at depth Of 80 feet. This pecul-
iarity allowed an observer in the balloon
TO follow tile movements OF the sub
marine boat Gymnote, during its recent
trials, without losing sight Of it for a
single moment, whatever its depth Of
immersion.
The balloon used on this occasion was
very stoutly constructed. having been
a short time before towed at a speed of
101 knots an hour for distance of 81
knots by torpedo boat, without being
any the worse. Germany has now
adopted balloons for naval purposes, and
during the recent maneuveIs at Will
heImshaven one of these was used from
a war ship of the feetfor accommodating.

Salt on tho Butter.

Why does salt sometimes show on the
butterf asked q Rural and Stockman
subscriber. This Is Henry E. Alvord's
explanation: 1t is not uncommon to see
butter in rolls or prints of good quality
and tolerably fresh, with a coating of
salt crystals all over the outside, giving
it a stale and unpleasant appearance.
This may be caused in several ways. II
the salt used is of poor quality, and par
ticularly if too coarse in grain, 1t fails to
be we'll incorporated in the butter, and
changing to brine after the rolls have
been made up, 1t comes to the surface
and takes the form Of a crust. The
finest and best salt, not worked into the
butter, will act the same way. Again IT
there is more moisture left In the butter
than 1t will naturally hold, salt joins with
this extra water to form brine; this BRINE
finds it's way TO the outside, evaporates
and leaves the salt covering. The best
means, therefore, of avoiding this diff
Guilty, Is to make the butter y granular
method, wash 1t very thoroughly and al
low it to drain and dry of we'll, while
still in the granular form, before adding
the salt. Then mix In the salt as thor
oughly as possible, having It of the best
quality and as fine as a be got; allow
it to stand a little while before working
and putting into its final form. This
gives an opportunity for all the salt to
dissolve before the working and then for
removing all surplus brine.

REALTY AND BUILDIN
Brick Makers and Contractors Look for a
Busy Season.

Brick Makers and Contractors Look for a
Busy Season.
The builders are all busy. Between
blocks and residences they have all they
can do. They are turning out good work,
and at the same time doing the work
quickly.
The Dunn, Ulm and Lapeyre blocks
and the Park hotel annex will be speci-
mems of the work which Great Falls
masons, bricklayers and carpenters can
turn out.
It is stated on good authority that a
large block is projected. 1t is to have .
frontage of 100 feet. This project should
not he COMPOUNDED with the Boston Real
ty Co.'S block, which is a separate enter
prise.
People have filed on a good deal of land
in Cascade county, and are likely to file
on still more before long. The building
of the Sun river bridge is giving An I'M
pulse to settlement in that direction.
Recent sales by the townsite company
as follows:-Jacob Bauer, lot 2, block 70,
$500; J.. Rubottom, lot 3, block 425, $3.50;
B. Muirhead, lot 8, block 239, $500; Harry

l.. Rich and Fannie Ewing, lots l and 2,
block 1856, $1,000; Jasper N. Conner, lot
8. block 469, $500.
An important tranaction is announced
today. The First National bank has
bought from Robert Vaughn, the 5O-foot
lot at the corner of Central ave-. and
Third street. The consideration $780, 900.
This property has been deemed by real
estate dealers as the most desirable for
business purposes in the city. However
much the city may grow 1t will remain a
central location and be near both the
wholesale and retail districts. On the op-
posite corner will be the massive block
Of Lapeyre Brothers; on the other side is
Bach, Cory u Cos large store. A large
building will no doubt be erected at the
remaining corner.
The First National will build on the
newly-acquired lot a stone block which
will do credit to the city, and will pro
vide ample room for its growing business
simultaneously with the purchase Of
this lot. the First National has sold to
syndicate composed of Great Falls par
ties, the lot at the corner of Central av
enue on which IRE Mr.. Matkins' and 9th
ers' stores. The bank receives
S22, 900 for this fifty feet. Presiden
Collins and his associates have thus mad'
two good deals which are both of service
to the bank and will give an impulse tt
improvements.

Blount's Postofnce Building BILL, Modi.
ned. Ordered Favorably Reported.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Ths house
committee on postofices has authorized
Representative Chndler, of Massachu-
chetts, to report to the house in q mod
flied form the Blount bill, to provide for
the erection of postofice buildings. As
amended, it authorizes the postmaster
general to construct at his discretion
buildings at any place at which the gross
receipts of the postotfice for two years
or more preceding shall have exceeeed
$50, 600, or in county seats $25, 900 each
year. The cost of such buildings shall
not exceed SEQ, 600 in any case. Where
the receipts do not exceed $25, 900 the
cost of the building is to be $50, 900; and
receipts to the amount of $4,000 entities
q place to q building not exceeding $751;
600 in cost. The postmaster general is
authorized to receive donations of
ground as sites for the erection of such
building, and when necessary to pur-
chase ground at q price not to exceed
$1,000. The bill appropriates for the f1s-

A Cry from Barker which Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker Should Heed.
BARKER, April 1S.-How long, oh Lord
how longl must we still remain mute and
accomplishing under the tyranny of the
star route mail system of Montana. We
have seen the cartoon of the man that sat
waiting on a slow barber until his beard
reached his waist and of the messenger
boy that started with an apple sprout and
and sat down and eat apples from the
tree before he reached his destination,
and now We have been able to see last
years letters taken from the mail pouch.
And now it is truthfully asserted that the
man who wrote 'the letter that never
came" got his character from Barker.
Some one also says that a great many
postmasters, and mistresses too, are not
democrats and have no friends and small
salaries and in consequence cannot afford
to subscribe for their w papers nor
allow registered mail to pass. How this
is we cannot say, but of one thing we are
sure, that packages of dress goods, etc.
are a picnic for some n between the
store and their destination. But then,
what does a postmaster want Of somebody
else's medicine, even if the directions are
on it, or a tall woman's underwear? But
when they get to holding out everything
from a second hand toothbrush down to
the Helena papers, it is time for them to
stop. If they are allowed to run on this
way they will get bold enough yet to
collar the TRIBUNE. 1t is hoped that
some day we may find relief, but how
long! oh Lord, how long!

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The interior
department in discussing the case of
John A. Burgess vs.. F. D. Hogaboom, in
volving the latter's timber culture entry
in the Fergus Falls district, uses these
words:
The timber culture act is not run in a
cast iron mold, and must be construed in
the light Of reason. Where it is made
to appear from the testimony and the cir
cumstances surrounding the case that the
entryman had made a reasonable effort
to comply with the letter as well as the
spirit Of the act, he should not be de-
spoiled of his entry upon purely techni-
cal grounds and for insuperable causes
due to the elements.
In the particular case under review
Hogaboom neglected to plant trees re-
quired within the time specified on &c
count Of heavy rains. The department
sustains his claim, Notwithstanding q
violation of the letter of the law.

WILL MAKE A STOCK COMPANY.

Tho H. b. Clafiin Firm to he Reorgan-
ised with . Capital of $40, OOO, 900.
New YORK, April 22.-The Herald
says that arrangements are being made
by H. B. Clafflin & Co., the great dry
goods house, for a dissolution Of the
firm, after which action the concern
will be reorganized rs a joint stock COM
pany under the name Of 1.-THE H. B.
Claf1in Co." This action is rendered
necessary by the provisions of the will
Of MI. H. B. Claflin, who died IN 1885.
One Of the stipulations Of his will is that
the bulk Of his estate was to remain ac-
tive in the business Of the firm only for
q period of five years after his death.
This five years. term has nearly expired
and it has become necessary for the
members of the firm to consider the
matter Of reorganization if they desire to
continue business. 1t is proposed to
capitalize the company at 1000, 900.
OF this amount a large controlling inter-
est is to be taken by the partners Of the
present firm, and the balance will be
opened for the subscription of employees
Of the house. None of the stock will be
offered to the public. 1t is thought the
new plan will go into effect about July
/, next,
