Tao Balloon Railroad.
What 10 prOnonn oed the most

What 10 pronounced the most novel
OF railroad tcL, mes ever devised is
now to he added to the strange things
Of modern times. A balloon is to be
the propellipg power used in carrying
passengers to aud from the top of the
Hochsianffsn mountain, at Bad Reich
entail, q well-known watering.plnce in
the Austrian Alps. The plan is known
as the aerostatic railway, aud is the
invention of Engineer VoIdernuer.
The power by which this enhancing
mountain top is now to he reached by
visitors is furnished by u captive bal.
loon, which runs along n track built
ut the side of the roadbed-a trailer,
furnished with many wheels, clusping
this wooden rail, and to this trailer
the passenger Car being fastened. Tue
operator has sent IN the car, and u
cord swings between his place and the
balloon. by which the gas supply is
regulated; he has also several brakes
and safety devices at hand in cass of
accident. At the foot Of this unique
railroad il IL gas tank and q generator,
gas being made here to illumlnuts the
town, aud also for the purpose Of ill.
ing the balloon. A charge sufficient
to carry the Cur to the top OF the
mountain is given it ut the. start, and
when the grade has been mounted,
and all is ready for the return down
the mountain, a small quantity Of gas
il released, and the Car starts down,
its too rapid descent being checked
by the remaining gus in the balloon.

How II Dwarf Escaped Hanging.

The Queen finally appealed to the
king, and he, in order to keep the
domestic peace and escape her impor-
tunities, forgot all his fine promises,
aud consented 10 have the poor little
m,u hanged to n tree.
The ready wit of the dwarf did not
desert him, even in this extremity. He
bcsought tue king to take care OF the
Bertholde family, and to allow him
the choice of the tree on which to
die. Alboin readily agreed to the re.
quest and ordered n guard to accom-
pnny the exccu,ioner to SEQ that
Bertholde made his own choice. The
trees of every wood for miles around
were carefully examined, bnt our wise
little friend objected TO all that were
proposed. The eXecutloner aud the
guards became so weary of the fruit
less search, that message for relief
was sent to the king.
BY this time another question OF
importance had come before the
throne and the envoy found the grent
chief lamcnting the loss OF his able
little counsellor. Alboin was SO de-
lighted when he heard that Bertholde
was still alive that he earnestly in.
qured the plnce of his retreat, and
went in person to persuade him to re-
turn to court. Back in triumph came
the dwarf amid the shouts of the pop
ulnce. His brusque humor and good
sense had made him popular with the
people of Verona. He soon became
the kings confidential adviser, and
finally WAS raised to the position OF
prime minister. -"Historic Dwarfs !:
Bertholdc," in st. Nicholas.

average of one every six seconds for 10 con
tinuous hours the necessity for this precar-
ton becomes evident. There will be ample
equipment in the laundry ON the second
floor for wishing and thoroughly drying
! from 500 to 400 suits an hour, and 1t Is in
tended that no bathing suit shall be returned
to the delivery counter until il is practically
rs good rs new. BY means of elevators
conveniently located near the entrances to
the two yards. the wet suit' will be sent up
to the laundry and returned to the first Moor
when washed and dried. Water furnshci
by means Of urtesian wells, will be pumped
from the boiler room into Il tank above the
laundry floor, and from this tank all the
wnter required for every purpose will be
! taken.
Beside the rooms already mentioned there
will be one for the superintendent and book
keepers, and another for women who repair
the bathing suits. with toilet accommodations
in front of the second story. Behind the
bathyards there are to be two covered bicy-
Gle sheds, with accommodations for 800 and
$50 wheels respectively. Exits from tho
bathyards through these sheds is provided
in case of an emergency. Opposite the
bathyards and admins. ration building, on
the other side Of the driveway and promen-
ade, two shelters are to be built. consisting
OF iron columns and slate roofs. each to be
14O long by 20 feet wide. Seats will be
provided in them. and while ample protec-
ton from the weather will he secured, they
will be practically open. IN will furnish
little obstruction to sea view from the drive
way.
A drinking fountain will be located in
each shelter and the water for this purpose
will be cooled by pouring through an ice
box before it is drawn from the faucets. Tho
total length of the two bathyards and ad-
ministration building on the driveway is
about 4l0 feet, and the total depth. includ-
ing the bicycle sheds, is about 1903 feet. The
cost of the bathing establishment proper,
exclusive of the shelters. will be about $780,
600. A shelter similar to the one above de-
scribcd, with which u bandstand has been
combined, will be located on the crest of the
beach, about n quarter of II mile south of the
bathing establishment, at the point where
at present the largest number of visitors
reach the beach by steam and electric ears.
