Some very interesting experiments
have been recently made by NJ. Mallet
respecting the action of screw in pro-
ducing vertical propulsion in balloon,
the results of which have been presented
to the Academy. The screw was de
signed and set to work by NJ. Langlois
de Saumier. 1t has diameter of /;
feet and turns round vertical shaft
fixed by two clamps to one of the sides
of tho car. NJ. Mallet succeeded, by i'm
parting to the screw a velocity of 100
revolutions a minute, in raising the bal
loon, which has capacity of $4,000 Gu
bic feet, through a vertical space in the
same timo of 1888 feet.
Frequent repetitions of the same OK
pertinent invariably gave the same re-
suits. As the screw revolved, it neces-
sarily caused the balloon TO rotate also.
but the movement was not found to pro-
duce any inconvenience, since the veloc-
ity did not exceed 0.04 of a complete
revolution in n second. The author con-
cluded his communication by series of
observations upon this particular mode
of propulsion. pointing out that it was
exceedingly well adapted for purposes of

All fannels should be washed in warm
soap lather. with soft water if possible,
and thoroughly rinsed in clear, warm
water. Soap should not be rubbed on,
and care must be taken that no washing
powders or washing liquors of any de-
scription are used. Instead of wringing,
roll in a dry cloth, press the moisture
we'll out, and then dry as quickly as pos
sible. To make lather use boiled soap.
This is done by cutting up the soap into
small pieces and pouring boiling water
onto it over night. In the morning it
will have tn" appearance of jelly.

Mn SOVEREIGN may be an excellent man,
but he will have to have commanding
talent to fill acceptably the leadership of
the knights of Labor abandoned by Mr.
Powderly. 1t will take years of hard and
successful work at the best to give him the
prestige and power now enjoyed by Mr.
Powderly. The chances are, however,
that he will not meet the ideal of the or
ganization and that it will not be long be-
fore the Knights of Labor will ask the ex-
leader to take up once more the burden
which they have just ungratefully forced
him to lay down.
