A NEW SIDERABLE BALLOON.

At the Berlin Industrial Exposition
there is to be seen a wonderful balloon,
which is reported to be steerab'e in r
remarkable degree. On the 28th and
Doth ult. this tremendous bag rose to
the height Of about slxty-hve feet and
was propelled in all directions, even
against the wind. The public was al
lowed to give the directions, so that
there should be no doubt as to the gen.
uine powers of the new aerial vessel.
DR.. Wolfert, the designer OF the balloon,
claims that it can be steerel against
any wind at any altitude, but this has
not yet been tested. The motive power
of this ellptically built balloon is kind
Of a double bladed ships propeller,
having diameter Of about three yarda.
1t is placed in front of the basket, while
right below the car is another propeller
Of the same dimensions, for upward
and downward movement. These pro
pellers make 800 revolutions per minute.
The engine is Of eight horse power. The
monster balloon is over thirty yards
long, aud in the center the diameter is
about ten yards. The basket, from its
shape, is called gallerie, aud is five
yards long. 1t is constructed OF BAN
boo, and is fastened to the balloon in
such way as to form an integral part
OF its bulky sustainer. Neither part
can have separate movement. Tho
method Of fastening the two is the Sc.

lines in December but today they catch
more fish in the winter months than in
the simmer. The fish are found about
six fathoms beneath the surface of the
sea and Il ey can be hauled up by the
ton. Last winter in five days the haul
off Beaufort was $4,000 pounds of trout
and 125 ,0O0 cronkers. A man averaged
as high as so per day and the captains
of fishing schooners made moderate for
tunes.
The reason for this is that the fish
hide in the deep holes at this place in
such numbers that seine cannot be
put down among them without bringing
up enough to fill rowhoat. Most of
the fish that have been taken were
young red drum, about foot in length,
gray trout or weak.ish, spotted sea trout,
nearly related to tie latter ana cronk-
ers, species which forage around the
oyster beds IN summer.
When the winter habitat of the fish
vas first discovered it was a problem
how to reach them. Long lines with
baited hooks and five pound sinkers on
them could be dropped down to the fish
and sportsman would hanl in all he
wanted in a day. But the work was
slow and laborous. The fish were
gnmey and with six fathoms of line and
five pounds Of lead in addition to the
fish on the end it Was DO easy job to
land the catch.

THE DEEP SEA SEINE.

Then came the deep sen seine, made
especially for catching the winter fish
off the North Carolina coast. This was
nothing more than wide net weighted
so heavily on one side that it would
slowly draw the ccrks down until the
bottom was reached. Then the corks
would float up one side, while the lead
balls would hold the opposite side on the
bottom.
With ropes attached to the four cor
ners OF the seine, the net could he grad
ually drawn along the bottom of the
sea, scooping up vast quantities of the
fish. When finally drawn up the seine
would be groaning with the weight of
the captured creatures.
This year, however, an improved deep
water seine has been invented, and it is
expected that thousands OF tons Of fish
will be brought up by it, Tie seine
opens and closes like a sail, A long
spal heavily weighted aud about forty
feet long supports the net AMI when
closed it looks like sail fured. This
is dropped to the bottom Of the sea by
the fisherman, ana then by jerking guy
ropes the seine is united from it.
Four boats are rowed away in differ.
ent directions, each dragging a heavy
rope and the seine is gradually spread
ont upon the bottom Of the sea. The
area covered by this seine is l0xlO0 feet.
1t makes trap under the swarms oi
fish that the oldest putuarch Of the
tribe would never suspect.

JUDGING from the chickering's in the
camp fires Of the populists and silver
ties in differen: parts of the country,
it seems that the embers of those fires
are being stirred, but the resulting
flames are weak, and indicate an early
and total extinction. The only well
organized and disciplined army now
marching against the golden armored
republicans who are defending trusts,
combines, monopolies, high tariffs and
corruption in high places, is the dem.
ocratic, and all who really desire to
defeat the former will enlist in it
and fight under its banners, and those
who refuse to do so are supporting its
enemy, either openly or secretly.
