WAR BALLOONS.
How They are Utilized by Troops During a
Campaign.

How They are Utilized by Troops During a
Campaign.
[Good EetOs
Balloon and wagon have formed junction
and are ready to start with the troops. Away
goes the wagon, with the balloon hanging on
to its tail, while the attendant sappers on each
side keep it steady. The train moves along at
a good round pace, easily keeping up with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for the
particular spot at which it has been determined
to commence ballooning operations, which is
usually on the top of good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter, and is
soon accomplished. The balloon is securely
fixed to the end of the wire rope, and the two
men who are to ascend take their places. At the
word of command the men who have been hold
ing down the car let go, aud up shoots the bal
loon, unwinding the rope as it rises, and allow
ed sometimes to ascend to hight of 900 feet.
And suppose the officer receives instructions to
move the position of the balloon, is it necessary
to haul it down? Not bit of it. man is
placed at the end of the wagon, who carefully
guides the connecting rope so that it cannot get
entangIed or run risk of being cut and away
goes the wagon, sometimes at trot across
fields and up and down hill, until the balloon
itself is long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is necessary to
lower the balloon. Is it needful to wind in all
the wire rope that has been paid out from the
reels? No such thing. The balloon is brought
to earth in much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole in the middle of which is
pulley wheel is laid across the rope. Half
dozen men seize the pole and run 1t along the
rope, and their weight soon brings the balloon
down to the ground. Passengers can then be
exchanged or any other operation can be car
ried OH, and then the men run the pole back
and up. shoots the balloon again many hundreds
of feet into the air, without having been away
from its exalted position more than few min
utes.
But it is not necessary to lower the balloon
in this any other way whenever it is
quired that messages should be exchanged be-
tween those below and those above There are
various contrivances for doing this. Sometimes
for instance, wire is attached through which
messages can be sent to telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire cable
little wire hook is fastened around the cable
and the letter or paper, weighted with a small
sandbag is sent futtering down. The human
voice, it may also be added, can be heard both
from a considerable hight and depth. so that
verbal communication is not difficult if there
is no wind

How Lead Pencils Are Made.

In the manufacture of lead pencils the graph
ite is first ground with water between French
burr-wheels until it is sufficiently fine and
even, three or four weeks being sometimes
required. The paste is then dried in pans for
about "a hours, broken into small pieces, and
ground again 10 an even consistency. 1t is then
mixed with clay, the proportion of clay and
graphite determining the hardness of the PEN
Gil. This mixture is then forced through a
cylinder perforated at the lower end with a
hole the size of the finished lead. The paste
emerges in the form of long. string-like
spigetti which the operative breaks off in
lengths of about two feet and arraBges in
grooves in a horizontal board.
If the finished leads are to be used in pencil
cases, the strings are cut off in proper lengths
with knife TIey are then dried naturally
for some time, and afterward roasted in an
oven, being finally polished by rubbing against
each other in shaking tray. The leads for
use in wood mounting are unpublished The
wood is well glued; then the leads are covered
with mucilage and placed in the grooves, and
covered with another strip of wood, the pencil
thus formed being placed with a number of
others in a tightly -clamped iron frame, in
which they dry. The pencil is then finished
by a revolving knife, which trims the wood
and leaves it ready for the polishing and var
Rishing, which are done by hand.

Amelia looked longingly at the plate.

Louise took possession of the piece at
once. You must be glad this is the last

SOUNDINGS AT SEA.

attached, is over the guide pulley and carefully
lowered to the waters edge, the register is set

A slender, black-haired girl came into the
dining-room, carrying q pitcher OF water in
one hand and dish of boiled potatoes in the
other. Setting both down on the table near
the gingerbread she stepped to the window
and drew down the shade with a jerk.
1t would hardly have been necessary to
hear Louise Pereau's name to suspect she
was French. There was something IN the
trim figure and in the air of smartness about
the pink cotton gown that suggested her
nationality.
She seated herself at the table, turning
slightly as she heard footsteps. Hurry
up!" she called.

the great leaders that snatched victory
from the rebels time and again at the
head of the armies of the Union ?
Grant, Mcclellan, Sherman, Hancock,
Rosecrans, Sheridan, Thomas, Lyon, and
Mcpherson. These were all Regular
officers, and graduates of West Point.
Without such men as those mentioned
to command the volunteer armies, the
war on the Union side would have been
an utter failure.
We Regulars are not prone to rush
into print concerning our war records,
but, as it has been often said that we
were non-combatants, we are at times
compelled in selfdefense to deny the
charge.
If memory serves me right, [ can
assert that at Stone River, in December,
1862, the Regular Brigade, comprising
the 10Th, 10Th, 18th, and 18th Inf, lost
over one-third of its command in killed
and wounded In fact, the shock of
battle fell heaviest on them, and, stand
inc up as they did as firm as the Rock
of Gibraltar, they actually moved down
the advancing enemy, so steady was
their fire, and, beyond question, their
discipline. The gallant Slemmer, of
Pickens fame, fell on this field, very
badly wounded.
Take the history of the war, and it
will be found that on every battlefield,
from the early days of 1861 to Apo
mattox, in 1865, the Regular Army was
to be found thereon, In either artillery,
cavalry, or infantry.
