THE PAY TRAIN" :"

"The Pay Train" is well calculated to please the Patton Grand audiences. for it is a very strong and spectacular melo- drama, with s deep dyed villain, a boiler explosion, railroad wreck, a brave girl heroine, funny tramp and a let of taking specialties. Miss Ollie Halfocd plays the part of the girl avenger who dons boys clothes and hunts down the man who killed her father, and she is quite clever as an actress. Incidentally she diverges from the averaging business to sing a few songs, which she also does nicely. Miss Vivian Rossiter also sings sev- eral ballads, and several other mem bers contribute songs and dances. The scenery is quite elaborate and the rail- road wreck arouses the audience to great enthusiasm

HOW BALLOONS ARE MADE.
The Fabric of Which They Are Conn posed Is Put Together with
 Great Care.

The balloons are manufactured of goldbeater's skin, which, though small toy ones had been made of it, could not be produced in sufficient quantities for the large balloons until Col. Templer invented and perfected the process, which is briefly as follows, says the Pail Mall Magazine:
 The gold beater's skin is made up of quantities of a certain thin animal membrane (3O,OOO of these are required for a balloon of 10000 cubic feet capac- ity), which is first freed from all fatty substances and then soaked in solu- ton of glycerip and water. They are then applied to boards cut in the form and to the size of the gore of the bal loon required; others are then super posed, until a thickness of four layers has been reached, great care being taken that no air bubbles remain be- tween the skins. After this fourt h layer a method of strengthening is re- sorted to, in the shape of net manu- factured of skin. After this net two or three more layers of membranes are ap- piled. The whole is then allowed to dry, and a solution of boiled linseed oil is used as a varnish. The fabric is then quite indissoluble, and the mem branes cannot by any possible means be sep arated from one another, but some times, to render this bomogenity the more perfect, a solution of bichromate of potash is sponged over the fabric.
