Itasca Iron Company.

Dispatches from Chicago and New

called the Itasca Iron Company for the
purpose OF developing Minnesota lands.

mammoth company was completed
with the following personnel: Presi-

controlled by this company are situated
in nearly every township and range on
Messabi range, and were very carefully
selected OH account of supposed mineral
deposits. Filings were made ON 10000
acres and culled to 1850 acres, the
amount of land in Itasca Iron Company.

been constructed, and it is quite certain
that it was not successful. Theoretic-
ally, there is no reason why balloon
should not be constructed on the vacu-
UNI principle, though it is doubtful if
even at the present day vessel could
be built sufficiently strong to withstand
the pressure of the atmosphere and at
the same time sufficiently light to rise.
Nevertheless, a patent was granted last
year to an inventor, who states in his
specification that vacuum balloon is
not an impossibllity. He gives caleala-
lions which, if there be no flaw in them,
show that vessel can be constructed
weighing 1856 tons and capable of raising
fifty tons more than its own weight
when three-quarterS Of the air is
pumped out of it.
As is we'll known, the first balloon
ascent was that of NJ. Pilatre de Rozier,
in Montgoifier's fire balloon, which took
place On Oct. Is. 1883. The air in the
balloon was rarified by fire beneath it,
and the aer0naut stood in gallery
formed round the mouth. The ascent
on this occasion was limited to a height
of about eighty feet by the ropes. but a
month later, on Nov. 81, the Same gen.
tleman assembled with companion in a
fire balloon, and descended in safety
about five miles from the place where
he started. Several ascents were after
warh made In fire balloons. but before
long they were abandoned. owing to
accidents having occurred through their
becoming ignited.
Though the use of hydrogen gas as a
means for raising balloons was proposed
as early as 1867 by DR.. William Black,
OF Edinburgh, no attempt was made to
utilize it except for toy balloons until
August, 1888, when NM. Charles and

then. he set to work and again built up
a fortune.
He was connected. by birth with
dumber OF prominent families, but
lived diSsolute and wicked life. and
his own social standing was doubtful.
Dickson was a scientific man. and an
authority on all matters pertaining to
agriculture. He wrote for the Southern
Cultivator and the standard publiea-
tons of that character as a gh-priced
regular contributor. He conceived an
inTatuatlon for negresS, Julia, OH his
plantation, and lived with her in de-
fiance of the law.
In February, 1885. while riding over
his plantation he fell from his horse
and died suddenly. He had left eccen-
trio directions concerning his burial, but
the interest in this was lost sight of
few days later in the storm of surprise
ank scandal when his will was made
public.
To white relatives he had left $4,000;
TO his executors, 5000; to two illegiti-
mate negro relatives and prOteges,
$4,000. and to Amanda Eubanks, the

siderable progress must. however, have
been made, as tickets emitting the
holders to view the machine were
printed; on them was picture

Some inventors have even recently
proposed to use wings or paddles,
worked mechanically. In the specitiGa-
ton of a patent applied for last year,
for instance, is described canoe-shaped
balloon with self-feathering paddles.
driven by steam or electricity. Though
it is quite possible that wings or paddles
might successfully be used, the machi-
cry for operating them is necessarily
more complicated than that required
for turning screw propeller, and, there
fore, the latter is almost invariably now
employed.
The first successfully propelled bal
loon seems to have been that of Rufus
Porter, an American, who, in 1888, con-
structed model some twenty feet long,
which was worked by small steam en-
CINE. The apparatus was exhibited in
New York and worked successfully,
but no attempt seems to have been
made by the inventor to construct a
balloon large enough to carry human
being. Another model was made by a
Frenchman, Nj. Julien, III 1850. which
worked successfully, and was exhibited
in Paris at the Hippodrome. Two years
later balloon was made by Giffard,
which could be propelled through the
air on calm day, and could be
steered satisfactorily in strong wind,
though it could not be propelled directly
against it. During the siege of Paris
ordinary balloons were much used for
carrying letters, ETC., and before the
siege was raised M. Dupug de LONE
was intrusted by the government with
the construction of navigabie one.
The war terminated, however, before it
was completed. 1t was afterward fin
ished and tried with eight men in it
working the screw propeller, the expert
ment proving fairly successful, though
the strength of the men was insufficient
to cause it to travel at any great pace.
Another successful French balloon was
that invented by the brothers Tissan-
der. The balloon was driven by an
electric motor of one and a half horse
power, worked by battery. The bal
loon steered we'll, and speed of nine or
ten miles an hour was obtained.
In 1884 balloon named LA France"
was built by Capt. Renaud and Nj.
KreDs, again Frenciimen. Out of seven
trials five were completely successful,
the balloon. after covering consider
alba distance at speed of ten to fifteen
miles per hour, being brought back to
its starting point. On one of the re-
naming trials something went wrong
with the electrical apparatus, and on
another occasion the wind was eXces-

cal use unless means could be devised
for propelling and steering them, and
inventors. therefore, soon turned their
attention to the subject. In the Illus.
tratlon of an air ship designed in 1874
by M. B., of Paris. 1t will be noticed
that the ship is fitted with a sail, which
could have no effect on vessel floating
in the air.
Many attempts have been made to
use wingless oars or paddles for rowing
balloons through the air. The Dolphin
was to have been worked in this way.
The propeIlers we're set like fins
near the head of the fish-shaped
balloon, and were to be worked
by levers extending down to the
car. The construction of the Dolphin
was commenced in 1877 by Mr.. S.
PauIly. the money required. which
amounted to 100000. being found by
Mr.. Oars Egg, gunmaker we'll known
at the time. The envelope was made of
gOld-beater's skin, and seats and rudder

of the apparatus was protracted by dis
sensions between the prophet ors, and
eventually both died without the
machine being finished. Some con-

and the other her production of 1.-THE
Egyptian" the story OF which is said to
be nearly Identical with that of Victor
Hugo's masterpiece, ''The Hunchback
dramatiZed.
In the curtain raiser, which. by the
way, is the same that Miss Ellen Terry
produced with marked success at the
London Lyceum theater, Miss Mather
is given opportunities for work of diff
ferent character and scope than any in
which she has been seen here. In it,
as the actress who allows herself to en-
act the role of a wholly emotionless
person to cure the love of young coun-
tryman, Miss Mather is called upon to
depict that double emotion of seeming
to be a person she is not. In this also
she IS given some opportunities for clear
cut comedy work, and to wear some
handsome dresses from Felix. Of Paris.
In the 1.-The Egyptian" she is called
upon to portray the emotions first of the
gay and careless street singer and
dancer-the pet of the Gypsy band and
the favorite of the people-next of the
woman tortured by jealousy and then of
one accused Of numbering her lover.
The emotional scene IN the third act,
where she spurns the love of Claude
Frollo, the monk, even though such
action leads her to the block, offers
Miss Mather an opportunity for the
display of the same kind of force that
marked her 'Leah" and "Lady Mac
BETH" and in the succeeding acts the
tension is kept up to the utmost by her
attempts to escape from the monk. The
strongest scene in the production and
the one which every reader of Hugo's
will remember is that in which the de-
formed bell ringer of Notre Dame,
QuasimOdo. throws his Whilom pro-
tector, Claude Frolle. from the gallery
to ths pavements below.
Scenically the production is said to be
very strong, and also pleasing to the
eye, all the settings used having been
prepared especially for the production
Miss Mather's company is reported as
entirely satisfactory, and IS headed by
Laurence Cautley. the young English
actor who made a hit on his appearance
with Mrs. Langtry and created a favor
able impression. Among others named
are Joseph E. Whiting, an actor of ster-
ling worth and merit; II. A. Langdon,
the weil-known old man character actor;
Emma Cushman Tuttle and Mrs. Sol
Smith. The engagement is for the en-
tire week with one matinee Saturday.

Robert sent up large balloon from
Paris. The balloon rose to height of
5000 feet, and fell fifteen miles away in
the country, where it caused great con-
sternation among the inhabitants, who
imagined it to be of supernatural or
igin. On Dec. of the same year the
makers of the balloon assembled in it
from the Tuileries, and descended safe
ly after a journey of about three miles.
Before the end OF the last century it
was known that gas could be obtained
from coal which was lighter than air,
and its use for aeronautical purposes
was proposed as early as 17s5 by Tiber-
ius Cayallo. 1t was not. however. EN-
ployed, except Oh small scale. till
much later, owing to the difficulty Of
making it in sufficient quantity. When
coal gas came into use as an illuminant
at the beginning Of this century, 1t was
available for aeronautical purposes, and
was soon made use of. At the present
day it is almost lnvaribiy used instead
of hydrogen gas, though it is much
heavier, as it is cheaper and is easier to
procure in any quantity.

looms would not be of any great practi-
