a Isailoon screw.

Some very interesting experiments have
been recently made by NJ. Mallet respecting
the action of a screw In producing vertical
propulsion In a balloon, the results OF which
have been presented TO the Academic. The
screw was designed and set to work by NJ.
Lauglois de Saumier. 1t has a diameter OF
~ feet and turns round vertical shaft fixed
by two clamps to one of the sides of the car.
NJ. Mnllet succeeded, by imparting to the
screw velocity of 100 revolutions u minute,
In raising the balloon, which has capacity
of 2S, 600 cubic feet, through vertical space
In the same time Of a33 feet. Frequent repe-
titions of the some experiment invariably
gave the same re.ults As the screw revolved
1t necessarily caused the balloon to rotate
also, but the movement was not found to pro-
duce any inconvenience, since the velocity
did not exceed 0.04 of a complete revolution
in second. The author concluded his COM
muncation by n series of observations upon
this particular mode of propulsion, pointing
out that 1t was exceedingly well adapted for
purposes OF scientific experiments.-Le Genie

The Clock Winding Snake.

In Persia there is a kind of snake
which is known to the natives as the
clock winding snake. 1t derives it's
na1ne from a peculiar buzzing noise
which it makes that resembles the wind
ing Of q clock. These snakes are per-
feotiy harmless and frequently glide in
and out Of the houses, no attention be-
ing paid to them by the natives. Dur

sual twittering of birds, and on looking
Up saw about 20 sparrows on the top
of wall, all jumping about in an ex-
cited manner.
At first I was at loss to understand
the cause of such q connection, but
presently I heard the peculiar buzzing
of the clock winding snake and in a
minute perceived the reptile crawling
along the wall, making directly for the
birds, which appeared to be fascinated
and made no attempt to fly away. The
snake glided in among the birds, and
choosing one to his liking deliberately
seized it in his mouth and swallowed
it. I picked up a stick, and after kill

dangling Piano STRINGS.

Another case occurred in a house
where 1 was once stopping in Nova
Scotia. A piano with a bad note was
fixed by simply opening an inside shut

OF a parlor from the piano. The latch of
one shutter was lightly resting against
the edge of another and caused the jan

The lady player had previously declared
that she would send for o tuner the next
day and laughed at my attempt to fix it
by hunting about the room while she
pounded. However, she did not conceal
her surprise when the trouble was re-
moved and admitted that there was
something about this sound business
that she did not quite understand.

Birch Bark Shoes,

Shoes and other articles besides bas-
kets and cabinets are manufactured from
birch bark by the E2ssiHn peasantry.
The bark from which fkeca articles are
made is from the inner skin Of the Rus
sian birch tree, common in almost all
parts of the empire. 1t is gathered
spring and fall, and the process is Il very
simple one. An incision Is first made
around the trppk or the tree, and tho
peasants have a lnacls of tearing Or IN
winding the bark from tho starting
point, which gives them a strip Of even
width that they wind into a ball and
keep through the winter until it is dry
enough to use. It is then made into
shoes, baskets and other useful articles.
The barks shoes are universally worn
by the Russian peasantry. Other shoes
used IN winter are made of Sleeps wool.
These are manufactured by itinerant
cobblers who travel from house to house,

THE PLANET URANUS.
Some Interesting Things q Voyage to
Gigantic World Would Disclose

soine Interesting Ihngs voyage 10 inc
Gigantic World Would Disclose.
If Uranus, which is o star of about
the sixth magnitude, were-a planet like
those little ones called asteroids, which
are being discovered by the dozen every
year, it could not have much claim upon
popular attention. But Uranus is really
q gigantic world, more than 60 times
as large as ours. Its vast distance, now
about 1, 700, 900, 600 miles from the
Garth, is what causes it to look so small
Uranus has four moons, which revolve
backward in their orbits-that is to say.
they revolve from east to west around
Uranus, while Uranus goes, like all the
other planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus ro-
tates backward on its axis also More
over, the axis Of that great, strange
globe lies in such direction that In
the course Of its year, which is equal to
81 Of our, years, the sun shines almost
perpendicular first Upon one pole and
then upon the other. Measured by or
time standard, there are 40 years of con
slant daylight, followed by 40 years of
unbrokep r5Ght, around the POLES Of
Uranus. And the sun rises IN the west
and sets III the east there. But the STU
looks very small when viewed from
Uranus-only one four hundredth as
large as it appears to US. still it sheds
upon that planet 900 times IS much
light as the full moon 8cn.3 to the
earth, SO that daylight rpol Uranus,
while faint compared W. he blaze Of
terrestrial MONDAY, is :2-ro- ,leiess a
very respectable kind OF Ill g...---..s.&;ion.
1t is a pity that the telescope is able
to show Us very little of the detail of
the surface Of Uranus. Some faint bands
or belts, just visible with the most pow
erful instruments, are all that can be
made out. II we could visit Uranus, we
should probably be greatly surprised, if
not greatly disappointed. Its average
density is but trifle IN excess of that
of water, and of course its surface den
sity is far less.
A voyager from the earth landing on
Uranus would probably sink almost as
rapidly as if he had leaped upon one,
OF those round white thunderclouds
which, piled high in air, look so solid
and snowy cool on a July afternoon. He
could no moro walk. Oh the surface of
that world than he could walk Gil water.
1t has generally been assumed that
the meaning Of the slight density of
Uranus is that that planet as still in g
vaporous or liquid condition and ex-
ceedingly hot perhaps. If so, it may in
the course of future ages contract and
condense and cool until it comes into a
condition resembling the earth's. Will
vital forces then become active upon it
and produce long succession of living
species, Frightening its dina daylight
with the color of flowers and the cease
less activity Of animate existence? 1t is
not likely that man will ever be able to
answer that question. but who that
looks upon Uranus keeping step with
the earth to the nuoic Of TIE Sun can
help asking it?-Garret5 P. Serviss in
