SOMETIME, SOMEWHERE.

Unanswered yet? tbs prayer your lips
have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail? Is hope de-
parting?
And think you all in vain those falling
tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard
your prayer;
You shall have your desire sometime
somewhere.
Unanswered yet? though when you
first presented
This one petition at the Faith. g
throne,
1t seems you could not wait the time Of
asking,
So urgent was your heart to make it
known.
Though years have passed since then
do not despair,
The Lord will answer you sometime,
somewhere.
Unanswered yet? nay, do not say un-
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly
done,
The work began when your first prayer
was uttered,
And God will finish what He has be-
gun,
If you keep the incense burning there,
His glory you shall see sometime,
somewhere
Unanswered yet? faith cannot be I'M
answered;
Her feet are firmly planted on the
rock;
Amid the widest storms she stands
undaunted,
Nor quails before the loudest thunder
shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard her
prayer,
And cries ut shall be done" sometime.
somewhere.

I'd aeronau', M. Tissaudier,

list and aeronau', M. Tissaudier, IN
Paris,
DR.. Ekholm say2 as to the impeDe-
trabiity of the c!Cth that the trialS
made by NJ Renard show that the
greatest loss OF gas from this source
would be two cubic meters for every
twenty.four hours. The gas volume OF
the balloon is 1880 cubic meters, repre-
senting a carrying capacity OF about
IL 500 pounds. The balloon could
therefore easily stand loss of 1000
cubic meters Of gas and yet be able to
keep anoat and carry The entire load
il Is subjected to for 700 days. 'Ihe
length OF time required for the tllp i3
rot likely to be mere than one or two
weeks
As to the strength Of the material,
more than 100 trials have been made
by balloon Cloth, netting and every
thing that goes to make up the airship
has been subjected TO the closest scrut-
inv It may be mentioned that the
strength of the walls Of the balloon Is
enough to resist a pressure Of 1000
kil0grammes TO the square meter,
while the highest pressure il will be
subjected to is l40 kiIogrammes.
The security afforded by such a bal
loon IS further enhanced by the ar
arrangement made by Mr.. Andrce to bal
ance the balloon by drag lines or guide
ropes and to steer It's course by means
OF sails and drag lines These ropes
" eigh about 1850 pounds and are made
of cocanut fiber, imprcgnated with fatty
over the Ice and In water The ropes
are 400 meters long and have several
weak places so that they will break If
the tail end OF any Of them should be
caught fast below. The Carrying ca
pacity Of the balloon and the weight o.
ballast and drag ines has been cal
culaicd 80 that half the length of the
lines will be dragging on the earth's
surface, allowing the balloon to sail at
mn altitude of about 200 meters.
The balloon has 200 kilogrames
Of ballast, provisions for fourd an
Dnc-half months, n boat, two sleighs,
clothing, gums and 800 cartridges.
The acronauts will sleep in baskets
fastened to the walls Of the gondola,
md each has a sleeping bag of reindeer
skins with the hair on into which he
may creep and sleep secure from cold
nights on top Of the lee or snow These
bags are provided particularly for tray
cling on land should such travel be,
come necessary.
