Lengthy Aerial Voyages.

Two very interesting balloon ascen-
sions took place at the end of the
month of October. Mr.. Mallet started
at o'clock in the evening of Sunday,
Oct. 20, from the La Villette gas works
in balloon of 2S,660 cubic feet ca.
pacity. The aeronaut took an easterly
direction and passed over Chalons, Metz,
Coblentz and Frankfort. The descent
was effected at Wallen, in Hesse Ger
many, on the other side of the Rhine.
The balloon touched earth in the midst
Of snow-storm at half past o. clock
| in the morning of Tuesday, Oct ga
The trip lasted 80 hours 80 minutes.
No balloon has, up to the present, re-
manned SO long in the air.
On Wednesday, Oct. 10, Mr.. George
Bans started for voyage Of long du-
ration, in 100, $40 cubic foot balloon,
in company with Messrs. William Sossa,
George Besancon and Louis Baisses.
The imitation. as IN the former case,
was effected ut the La Villctte gas
works On account of rain, the start
could not be made until seven minutes
past ten in the evening. Three bat
teries of accumulators furnished .
brilliant illumination of twenty five
incandescent lamps around the car.
The latter carried also an electric
amp, registering barometers, etc. The
balloon directed itself toward Pithi-
viers, Orleans, Chateauroux and Con-
folens, and landed under excellent
conditions at Marsac, near Angou-
leme, at o'clock in the afternoon of
Thursday. Oct 20. The trip of about

Twin-screw steamers for Canals.


An English company, rejoicing in
the name of the Tubular Twin-Screw
Amidship Propulsion company-Limit-
ed" has recently brought out novel
steamer for use on the small rivers ard
canals between Hull and York, which
is attracting considerable attention
among persons interested in inland
navigation. The object Of the new
vessel, which has been christencd the
Tubular. Is to demonstrate that
steamers can be propelled at a fair
rate without causing the tackwash,
which Is destructive to banks. The
length of this new steamer is "a feet,
Its width 1917 feet and its depth Of
hold 8 feet. 1t Is fitted with compound
surface condensing engines, with cyl
inders 0 and IS inches in diameter, and
10 inches stroke, with which it is
claimed that speed of over ten miles
an hour can be made. The novelty lies
in two tubes ~ feet in diameter run
ming longitudinallv with and placed
on each side Of the middle of the hull.
Inside these tubes, near their center,
are the screw propellcrs, which are
connected with the engines in the
usual manner. A naval architect of
this country recently stated concern.
ing this boat that, while the use Of
these tubes may diminish baclxwash
somewhat they will greatly decrease
the efficiency OF the propelling machin-
cry, and will be of little. use anyway,
since the waves caused by the motion
of the hull In its passage through the
water are the principal soprr. o. in
jury to river and canal banks.

kinds of notices and humble entreaties.
The people have had year and more to get
ready. but some have left everything to the
last minute as usual. However, most OF the

tending to transport the exhibits, at a
nominal rate, but this is not So II appears
that it is only in Mr.. Huntlngton's letters
that the railroad poses as a philanthrOpic

heart, while as matter Of fact il proposes

offered whether for the Worlds Fair or else
