fl Captive Balloon.

The principal danger in captive work is the always present possibility of the wire rope parting, not because of the obvious result that the balloon, being set free, would at once make off at speed, but for reasons of a very simple technical nature, albeit none the more pleasant by reason of their simplicity. It must be understood that when a captive balloon has been sent up the required height, the neck of the balloon has to be tied up so as to prevent the wind from exerting a pressure 0n the envelope and forcing out the gas, which would result in the balloon very shortly losing it's lifting power and descending. In free runs the neck must always be wide open, for otherwise any sudden expansion of gas might burst the balloon. Hence if a captive breaks away it is bound to make an unduly rapid ascent, since it is sud denly released from the restraint as we'll as the weight of the wire rope.
 Of course ill such an emergency the gas would at once commence to expand furiously, and unless the neck of the balloon were instantly opened and kept open the envelope would inevitably burst. In the shocking accident at the Crystal palace ill 1892, when poor Dale and his comrades lost their lives, the balloon was started with too much lift and commenced to rise with undue ra- pidity. Dale, the aeronaut, realizing the danger, opened the neck and in his anx- iety to sec that it was clear looked into it, and it is supposed that his head checked the outrush of heated gas, with the result that the envelope instantly burst, with terrible results. s.--Macmil- Ian g Magazine.

of New York to Hall Caine that gentle
man said regarding the relations be-
tween Canada and the United States:
'The relations between Canada and
the United States may sometimes be a
little strained, but there seems, to an
Englishman, TO be no sufficient reason
why two great nations should not live
in friendly rivalry on this great CONT
nent. I came here, sir, by way of Nj
agara, where the river that divides your
country from Canada looks angry and
impossible enough. But dare say you
have noticed that in that watery horse

the two countries is widest, the sun can
never shine on the clouds of vapor which
rise ont of those troubled waters with
out making beautiful rainbow, which

THE DEVILS CODE.
Legend of a Monk, the Devil and Ouicl
Nights Work.

Legend OF a Monk, the Devil and a Quick
Nights Work.
Stockholm's public library contains a
wonderful work which is called "The
DEVILS Code" and which in addition
to its extraordinary name is said to be
the biggest manuscript in the world.
Every letter is most beautifully drawn
and the magnitude of the work is so
great that it seems impossible for any
single monk to have done it.
The story of the origin of the manu-
script, however, not only gives it as
the work of one man, but also states it
to be the work of a single night. The
story runs as follows:
"a poor monk had been condemned
to death, but was told mockingly by his
judges that if he was able to copy the
whole Code between darkness and
dawn he would be saved. Relying upon
the impossibility of the task, those who
sentenced him furnished him with the
original copy of the Code, with pen,
ink and parchment and left him.
death must have been as little liked
in the middle ages as it is now, for the
monk, forgetting the hopelessness of
his task, commenced it. Before long,
however, he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions,
and fearing cruel and horrible death
he invoked the aid of the prince of
darkness, promising to surrender his
soul if he were assisted in the task.
"The devil kindly obliged by appear
ing on the spot, accepted the contract
and sat down to the work, and next
morning The DEVILS Code was finished,
the monk being found dead. The copy
ing clerk from the Internal regions pre-
sumably fled away with the poor man s
soul as soon as the wicked compact was
finished. Pearson Weekly.
