FoothoId in Some Quarters.
Raising peacocks and pheasants is a
new business in this country. To supply
their wants a number of fnillionaires are
importing birds and eggs from England
George Vanderbilt is among the num-
Der; he has already a lot of peacocks
of the breed curiously called "Japanned'
perhaps because their feathers have a
metallic, lacqu b,-lil6e glittering. They
are often wrongly spoken of as the
japanese or Japan peacock. Theodore
Have1neyer has recently imported lot
OF pheasant eggs of the choicest breed.
He sent them TO his model farm, Nah
wax, n. J., and then invited a company
of bantam hens to hatch out the young
birds
-Peacocks. although not common sight
IN this country, are occasionally seen;
pheasantS are even more rare-but as al
ready said, demand has arisen for them
and lucrative business should be carried
on IN dealing with both the eggs and the
birds.
In Suffolk, England, there is a pheasant
news upon one estate where more than
100000 eggs are sold annually. To visit
Warwick castle is to see peacocks in all
their glory: indeed, the place is famous
for these birds, of which the handsomest
are white.
Having become possessed of a pair of
peafowls, they require very little manage
ment, but must be carefully fed. Ii kept

and grain and occasionally fresh vege-
tables. In winter they must have a

ever is experienced in reaching the

The training of the military aero
naut is not complete until he knows
how to rod up the empty balloon. This
is a work requiring weeks of practice,
and when 1T is thoroughly understood
the compass of the collapsed and folded
balloon is just about the area of the
basket, in which it is placed and car

The balloon maneuver>s in che En-
giish and Russian armies have been
conducted much more secretly than
those on Germany and France, and
there are those who assert that the
advances made by the English aer-
onauts border on the marvellous.
In America The aeqonauC has no
blood-Shdrsty ideas in his work At
present, aside from inventing flying
machines, he is devoting most OF his
time to perfecting a balloon which will
be able to improve the signal service.

explosion and complete destruction of
this air-flier taught aeronauts Of all
countries a valuable lesson, and they
have changed not alone the M rial
out of which war balloons are made,
but even the method Of making them.
"A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
The first problem that confronts the
military aeronaut in the making of his
balloon is TO estimate to fraction its
area, conforming this to the height in
tended TO be reached.
This fixed, the problem Of weight is
next solved. BY this the aeronaut means
not alone the carrying capacity as far
as meteorological instruments, anchors,
etc, are concern "a. but the possibility
Of bearing aloft at least one light gun
and a bomb or two. The gun foreshad-
ows q. midair battle, such as has thus
far figured only in the imaginations of
writers Of lurid fiction. Today, should
war be declared by one European ma
ton against another. 1t would prove a
fact. and we might possibly have a thru
ling story of the tNo-minute battle be-
tween the Kaiser Wilhelm IL and the
President Faure over Metz and Stras-
burg.
Military aeronauts, as a matter of
fact. believe that a battle of this ma
ture might last an hour. Only recently
a peculiar experiment was tried by the
French army, which tends to strengthen
tine aeronauts in the above view. A
balloon Yves sent up a, mile and a half
distant from an imaginary army and
rapid fire guns were aimed at it the
moment it hove in sight. Two of the
shots struck it but glanced off. a third
shot pierced the outer covering. but did
not impair the inner coat in the least,
and the balloon reached a height of
something over 1000 feet.
THE MATERIALS USED.
The material used in the German
army for the making of balloons isothe
costliest pongee silk obtainable. For
cheaper balloons percale is used, but
this is undesirable where great dis
tances are to be reached and where
the observations viii consume consider
able time. Germans still have on exhi-
bition, however, parts of the famous
Delcourt balloon, made in 1882, of some
thing like 10000 pieces of very thin kid.
all pasted together Another material
lsed in the experiment two years ago
was q thin plate made Of an alloy of
tin and copper But this proved as un-
satisfactory as did an aluminium ball

every inch of its surface is tested,

adds TO the power of expansion.
After the sewing is completed var
nishes are applied along the seams
and the work of adjusting the net and
the basket begins. The venthlatHng
apparatus is applied to the bottom OF
the balloon, and this takes UP fully
two weeks of the practical aeronaut s
time The dead weight carried by the
famous Humboldt balloon. not includ-
ing ballast, was 1850 pounds. Those now
being made carry a dead weight Of
ever q ton, and including ballast, aero
nanGs, etc. over double this.
The fitting out of a balloon basket is
a task requiring great ingenuity. In
addition to meteorological instruments
there is a complete supply of insti-u-
ments for the inhalation of oxygen.
This is, however, only necessary where
balloons are intended 10 be carried into
an atmospheric zone of very rarified
air. The military aeronaut watches
and carefully supervises every phase OF
balloon making. Even while the mon
ster is being filed he will take his
place inside it, and by the def toucn
of the hands make tests of the strength
of the inner surface.

100000 advanced to meet the expenses
of the Anglo Egyptian expedition to
Dongalo. Great Britain is prepared
to advance such sum of money as the
Egyptian treasury is unable to provide
for that purpose.
The action of Great Britain in this
matter is the result of the decision

Alexandria that the funds of the eaisse

expenses, and that the Egyptian gov
eminent must pay back the money adj
