Some very interesting experiments
have been recently made by M. 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 M. Langlois
de Saumier. 1t has diameter of ~
feet and turns round vertical shaft
fixed by two clamps to one of the sides
of the car. NJ. Mallet succeeded by i'm
parting to the screw a velocity of 100
revolutions minute, in raising the bal
loon, which has a capacity of $4,000 Gu
bic feet, through a vertical space in the
same time of 1913 feet.
Frequent repetitions of the same ex-
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 complete
revolution in a second. The author con-
cluded his communication by a series of
observations upon this particular mode
of propulsion, pointing out that it was
exceedingly well adapted for purposes of
scientific experiments.-G Civil.

FOR THE BRAZILIAN NAVY.

Ell Cid Converted From a Merchantmen
Into a Cruiser.
The detection of Admiral Mello and most
of the officers of the Brazilian navy left
President PeiXoto very short in the matter
of war vessels with which to crush the re-
bellion against his government, and he was
forced to send an agent to the United States
to try and purchase some. The agent was
Admiral Mauritz who remained loyal to
PeiXoto, and he succeeded in buying several
vessels, including he new crack Morgan
liner Ell Cid for which he is reported to
have paid $500, 900, price which authorities
in such matters agree to be remarkably
cheap
Ell Cid is only about year old, and on
her initial trip between New York and New
Orleans made 1874 knots an hour, a much
better record than that of any of the Bra
lillian vessels against which she will be
called on to do service. She was designed
by Horace Lee, experimenting engineer
of the Morgan line and consulting engineer
of the Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany, which built her. Mr.. Lee designed the
machinery and superintendent the con-
struction of the United States war vessels
Philadelphia, Newark, Concord, Yorktown,
Bennington and Vesuvius.
FL Cid was of course designed for a pas
senger and freight carrier, but there are
several features of her construction which
will make it comparatively easy to turn her
into al effective cruiser She is a hurricane
