occurred TO another Italian francesca
Lapa--that 1t would be possible for
body to rise in mir, provided it weighed
less than the air II displaced. lie nc.
cordngly proposed to make an aerial
vessel to be raised by means Of globes
from which the mir was exhausted. In
his design the wicker work car Is at
tached to four largo spheres OF copper,
aud sail Is fixed in tho center. We
have no record Of the apparatus having
been constructed, and 1t Is quite certain
that IL was not successful. Theoreti-
ca.ly, there is 40 reason why balloon
should be constructed on the vacuum
principle, though IL is doubtful il even
ct the present day vessel could be
built sufficiently strong to Withstand the
pressure OF the atmosphere and at the
sa1, timc sufficiently light to rise.
Nevertheless, patent was granted last
year to an inventor, who stated in his
specification that n vacuum balloon is
not an impossibility. lie gives ca!cuia-
tions which IL there DO no flaw In them,

weighing 1856 tons aud capable OF rais-
ing fifty tons more than its own weight

Hamburg great. Next to London aud
Liverpool II is the greatest commercial
place of Europe, and with New York
II is one Of tho four great seaports OF the
world. Its imports amount to more than
billion dollars annually. Nine thous-
and vessels visit 1t every year. From II
are sent thousands upon thousands OF
emIgrants to America.
Hamburg lies on the Lower Elbc. It
is seventy miles from the North Sea and
III miles fiom Berlin, on the Upper
Elbe. At Hamburg the Elbe Is broad
and deep. The harbor is magnificent.
There can be found more vessels than
are seen in New York Harbor.
The harbor, until death placed its hand
upon the people, presents always busy
and picturesque scene. The qunys
extend along the right bank OF the
Noreer Elbe from Altoona TO the Billwnr-
der. .Neuendeich, a distance Of more than
three miles, and accommodate upward OF
four hundred sea. going vessels aud as
many barges aud river craft. The west
end of the quay, opposite st. Paul, is
chiefly occupied by the English colliers
and the steamers of the Hamburg
American Company. Adjacent is the
-hafen, intended principally for
the reception of sailing vessels during
the season of floating ice, and connected
with the Elbe with several outlets which
are called Cats. Further east are the
sandthor-hafen, 100 yards long, aud
100 to 140 yards wide, with the Sandthor
quay and the Kaiser quay, and the
Grasbrook hafcn with the Dahann quay
and the IIubener quay, both suited for
vessels of heavy tonnage. The latter
are used principally for the Atlantic
liners.

the air 1884 times its own weight, and
about double when immersed In water.
lie adds that the pulling power of the
cockleshell Venus verncosa) of the
Mediterranean, when deprived of its
shell, is 2071 times the weight OF its
body. The force required to open an
oyster appears to bo 1875 times the
weight OF the shell-less oyster.
