side. One of these was seized by a
soldier, who was carried across the
river in the twinkling of an eye. As
soon as he had landed he fastened the
end of line securely, after which the
balloon was hauled forward and back,
and in less than no time transferred q
battalion from one side to another.
In building the war balloon 'Gen.
Myer' for the signal corps of the
United States army the first real step
was taken by the military officials of
this country to advance with the great
war powers of Europe to this line Of
military work. 1t is modelled after
both the French and English military
balloons and in mechanical details en-
bodies the best features of each. 1t
resembles the English in the similarity
of material from which the envelope
is made. The system of imitation is
also like that of the English, the by

spherical in shape, with a capacity OF
ID, 900 cubic feet, corresponding with
the ordinary balloon used abroad for
captive ascensions, and having lift
ing power sufficient to carry two men
with the necessary signal instruments.
The envelope is formed of gold beaters'
skin, which is especially adapted
to this purpose, as it is impervious to
the hydrogen gas and is very light
The mem ranes from which this
fabric, gold beaters' skin. is formed are
taken from the entrails of the bullock,
each animal furnishing one When
stretched they are from eighteen to
twenty-four inches long and ten to
sixteen inches wide. After taking the
mem branes from the slaughtered bull
lock they are at first scraped free from
fat and soft parts and sailed till
needed for use. After taking them
from the salt they are first culled,
washed and soaked in fresh water till
the salt is taken out Then day or
two before using they are placed in a
vessel containing soft water in which
has been dissolved some fish glue,
which adds to their adhering quail
ties whea making the fabric of the
envelope.

JsING BALLOONS FOR CROSSING RIVERS.
money in perfecting an absolutely
faultless dirigible balloon, one that
can be moved in any direction at the
will of the aeronaut irrespective Of
the direction of the wind. The French
experts claim that their war balloon,
the "Gen. Meusnier." attained speed
of twenty-eight miles an hour and
could be guided with utmost ease to
any given point. However, since no
outsiders were allowed to witness the
wonderful performance, it might be a
trife exaggerated
The German emperor does not pro-
pose to let his warlike neigh Dor mon
opolize this feature of army equip
ment. He has just presented to the
German Society for Promotion of
Aerial Navigation for the advance
ment of this science the sum of SO, 900
marks. This is to be applied for the
construction and equipment of giant
balloon. This balloon will be as high
as four-story house. 1t will be fifty
six feet in diameter and will contain
not less than $3.50 cubic meters of gas.
1t will be made of Egyptian cotton
stuff and will be coated with vul-
canized gum, a substance which is
considered superior to varnish.
A very interesting feature of this
monster balloon will be the provision
of a special valve of new construc-
ton which will keep the gas pure for
a longer time and thus sustain the
balloon for longer period. 1t is pro-
posed to make not less than fifty jour
neys within year and to ascend as
high as possible. An altitude of SO, 600
feet is thought to be obtainable by
the use of artificial respiration. More
than So, 500 will be expended in pur-
chasing scientific apparatus for this
balloon, which is intended more for
taking observations than for the pur-
pose of war.
Aside from this the German army
has lately put in the field as efficient
balloon corps as that of France,

FUTURE OF CARLISLE.
He May Not Be Clevefand's s
Political Legatee.
But 1t Is Admitted all the Signs of
the Times Point That
Way.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Whethei in the
end it may turn out to mean murh or
little. certain it is that tile present filing
of the political stage tiy Secretary Carlisle
to the willing exclusion of even .se Presi-
dent himself is the leading topic in politi-
cal circles in Washington to-day. 1t is
discussed by Republicans as well as by
Democrats anu much interest Is mani
tested in the new development. Several
weeks ago the retirement OF the Secret ary
from the political field at the close of the
present administration was predicted, but
the situation has suddenly changed and il
looks now as If Mr. Carlisle might become
greater political factor than ever before.
81 do not mean to predict his nomina-
tion for the Presidency" said Kentucky
politician to-day, "though that now would
appear distinctly among the possibilities,
but merely to point out the importance
both 10 the party and to the country of a
settlement of the currency question and
how prominent and potent he will be in
all of the controversy. The President has
turned the matter over to him, and what
he will say and do, therefore, on the sub
ject will carry the double weight of his
own authority and that of the admins
tration as well.
The talk that Mr.. Carlisle is to be
Cleveland's political legatee does not ar
rest much attention. Greater interest
attaches to the Kentucky situation. and to
the growing impression both here and
there that Mr.. Carlisle is to be an active
participant in next years campaign in the
Blue Grass State. and that the result there
will determine hi political status for the
future. The rumor that he may be nnmi-
mated for Governor is dismissed by Ken
tuckans as OF no moment, but all admit
that he touches the senatorial race at all
points. Whether his reelection to the
Senate iu January. 1896. upon a currency
platform of his own devising and advo-
cacy would make Mr.. Carlisle a few
months later invincible in the Democratic
national convention nobody will UNDER
take to predict, but many Kentuckians de-
clare, without reserve, that 1t would re-
suit in instructions from that STATE again
for him for the presidential nomination.
