to which IS obtained by means OF rope
ladders. Other ladders lead up to. the
lower Of the three valves OF the bal
loon. This trio Of valves is special
feature. The remaining two are fixed
about halfway up the balloon, one on
each side. 55s
M. Lachambre laughs at the ideafof
his balloon bursting. Nothing would
burst it he is certain, after the precau-
tions he has taken. The material Of
which it is made is double every
where and quadrupled where the pres
sure is greatest. The two layers Of
stuff are stuck together by a compo-
sition of M. Lachambres finding, and
in the adhesive qualities Of which he
has the greatest confidence. The whole
is to be covered with a varnish, also Of
his discovery, and used in this balloon
for the first time. Other special in
yentions are to be adapted to the bal
loon, and especially a system Of sails,
which the aeronauts declare will en-
able them to guide their vessel to a
very considerable extent.
An all-important feature Of the bal
loon is its guide ropes, three in num-
Der. The entire success of the expedi-
ton hinges on these guide. ropes. It
must not be supposed that the balloon
is to go careering through space at an
enormous altitude. If its owners can
help it, it will never be more than two
or three hundred meters above the
earth. At this height the guide ropes
will trail on the ground. According as
more or less of the rope trails, the bal
loon will rise or fall, as the weight it
has to carry will clearly increase or de-
crease in proportion to the length of
rope. dangling in mid air. The guide
ropes weigh about 1000 kilogrammes.

chambre does not think there is anv
danger OF this contingency. He points
out that the ice fields which surround
the Pole are to all intents and purposes
smooth, and, at any rate. present ~
obstacles in form of vegetation tba
are likely to damage the ropes. It was
at one time proposed to have recourse
to a single iron chain as a guide in
place OF rope, but it has finally been
decided that hemp is the best material
Another much discussed point was
whether the balloon should carry a
sleigh on which the travellers might
effect their return were the balloon to
come to grief. This precaution has
been dispensed with as quite unneces-
sary. The extreme confidence in the
expedition is shown by the fact that
neither NJ. Lachambre nor the three
passengers consider they have any
thing more than a pleasant aerial
promenade ON before them, in the course
OF which they will imbibe plenty Of
fresh air, amuse themselves by max
ing scientific observations, and bring

He entered the bank, passed through
the private door leading behind the

introduction from the general manager
OF the company stating that the bearer
was Arthur Gordon Durrant, whose
signature would be found attached,
and who had, in accordance with ad-
vices previously forwarded, been in

The specific hardship of this des-
