Water may be without visible color

How Balloons Arc Made.

The balloons are manufactured of
gold-beater's skin. says the Pail Mall
Magazine. which, though small toy
ones mad been made Of it, could not
De produced In sufficient quantities for
the large balloons until Colonel Tenn
pier invented and perfected the proc
ess, which is briefly as follows:
The goldbeater's skin Is made up Of
quantities Of certain thin animal
membrane. 10000 Of these are required
for a balloon Of 10000 cubic feet ca
pacity). which is first freed from all
fatty substance and then soaked in
a solution Of glycerine and water. They
are then applied to boards cut in the
form and to the size Of the gore Of
the balloon required; others are then
saperposed until thickness Of four
layers mas been reached, great care be-
ing taken that no air bubbles remain
between the skins. After this fourth
layer q method Of Strengthening is re-
sorted to. in the shape of net man
ufactured Of skin. After this net two
or three more layers of membranes are
applied. The whole is then allowed to
dry, and solution of boiled linseed oil
is used as a varnish. The fabric is then
quite indissoluble, and the membranes
cannot by any possible means be sep
arated from one another, but some
times, to render this homogenity the
more perfect, solution Of bichromate
Of potash is sponged over the fabric.

Washington, March %. The war

This dispatch Of Gen. Otis is very
gratifying to the war department Of
ficials, as it means that all the sick
and wounded soldiers in the Philip
pines will be sent home at once. The
transport Grant, which will leave
last is admirably equipped for the
service. It has been decided by the
department to have the transports
met at San Francisco by officers who
will pay off the soldiers, give them
their discharge and send them to their
homes with transportation paid.

Harv.rd's Msssorolor loal station.

Hafvsfd's Meteorolo gIcal station.
To, Harvard university belongs the
credit of having established the richest
meteorological station in the world
nearly four miles above the sea level
namely, on the summit of Ell Misti,
quiescent volcano near Arequipa, in
Peru. The main station is at Arequi-
pa itself, at an altitude of about 5000
feet, and there are seven other sta
lions, including one at the base OF
FL Misti. 1900 feet above the sea
level, while the one on the summit is
at 1920. or about $500 feet higher
than the noted station on Mont Blanc.
The shape Of the Misti is declared to
be admirable, it being an almost per-
Iect, although more or less truncated,
cone, and the conditions of exposure of
the instruments are as nearly perfect
as IL Is possible to obtain on noun
tain. The instruments now in use on
the summit are dry and wet bulb and
maximum and minimum thermome-
ters' rain gauge, Richard Paragraph,
thermograph. and hygrograph. There
IS also meteorograph, constructed by
FERGUSON especially for this observa-
tory, and designed to record tempera-
ture, pressure and wind direction and
velocity.

Labors Extravaeance.

The members OF an archaeological So

a certain one Of their number in Glou-
cester. While they were roaming
about the house, the host called the
attention of his guests to an old clock.
a great favorite of his. He told his
friends Of his great attachment to this
ancient timepiece, and grew quite pa
thetic at certain points in his re-.
marks, which he brought to a close
by saying, in a voice full of emotion:
Gentlemen, Z have wound up that
clock every night for more than forty
years" He had evidently made an
impression On his visitors, when one,
old fellow, who had been carefully ex-
aiming the clock, turned the tide Of
feeling evoked by the story by saying,
dryly: well, always did think you
were something of an idiot! That's an
eight-day elock!"

Papyristite.

Papyristite is new artificial stone
like substance which is highly spoken
of in one Of the United States consul
lar reports, and which is being man
fractured at Zurich in Switzerland.
The principal constituent of this sub
stance is purified pulp obtained from
waste paper; hence it's name. The
material is supplied in powdered form,
and is packed like cement in barrels
or sacks; mixed with water, it can be
spread like cement, will harden in "a
hours, and is then susceptible of re-
celving high polish, if such treat
ment should be required. Papyristite
can be cut, sawn, or bored; it is hard
as marble; it can be given any tint
desired; it is adapted to all tempera-
lures, and it is light. elastic and mex
pensive. 1t is non-absorbent of mois-
ture or any filthy or obnoxious matter
and is not liable to the attacks of in
sects. mice or rats.

SPANISH ADVICE.
Americans Warned Not to Land OF

eAmerAcInS warned NOT to Land on
the Island of Mindanao.
lloilo, March "a. = The coasting
steamer Romnlus has arrived here
from Zamboanga, on the island of
Mindanao, with upward of a hundred
passengers, including Spanish pris-
oners with. their wives and families,
who are returning to Spain. They re-
port that 1000 Spanish troops collect
ed from the Southern islands are at
Zamboanga awaiting transport now
long overdue. When the Romulus
sailed on Monday no Americans had
landed from the cruiser Boston. Pro-
visions are purchased from the Moros,
who freely enter the town, armed with
Knives and spears. The Spanish COM
mandant,5 Mentero, advised .the Amer
ic:lns not to land, except in small num-
bers. because the natives threaten a
conflict and intend to take possession
CT the town. Their attitude is de-
termined. The Romulus brings Span
iards and natives returning to Cebu,
whence they fled upon the abandon
nent of the Spanish garrison. A pas
senger stated that the Boston was
grounded for two days at Zamboanga.

The. discovery of meteors that have
actually been seen to fall is a rare
piece of good fortune. Such an event
occurred last August, near Andover.
Maine. The meteor fell on a cloudy
morning, and exploded with a. noise
heard for many miles around. and
which was generally supposed to. be
thunder. Its path through the air
was marked by trail Of black smoke.
Tearing its way through group of
trees it almost struck man passing.
1t did strike stone wall and. buried
itself in the ground. from which it
was dug by Mr.. Henry Y. Poor, the
well-known editor of the Manuel Of
Railroads. 1t weighs about seven
pounds, and consists mostly OF stony
material, with little iron.

Of the great hotel. One family lost
jewelry valued at 100000, and, the
total will run up somewhere near a

New York, March 23.-James Creel-
man, in a special to the Journal from
Manila, says: Admiral Dewey said
to the Journal correspondent:
II believe that the Tagalo insurrec-
ton is already breaking up. Gen.
Wheaton's column should take Malo-
los, the insurgent capital, by good
dash. The main part Of the insurrec-'
ton lies between Manila and Malolos.
There is practically no opposition to
the United States authority in the
southern island The natives there
hate the Tagalos and are really, anx-
ious to welcome us. The Tagalo is
half-devil and half child. Eradicate
the devil and you have only the child
to govern. The strength of the enemy
has been greatly overestimated. The
insurgents are finding out that in war
fare, as in g great many other things,
the power of money is almost ire
sistable. If the Spaniards put down
an instruction here, surely we can
do the same. We are strong enough
to hold these islands without foreign
alliance. With the Oregon, Iowa,
Monterey and Monadnock, we could
face any possible complication" =
Gen. Otis asserts that he has sin
structions from Washington to assume
the defensive until the Spanish cortes
ratified the peace treaty. The theory
is that all territory outside of Manila
is Spanish territory and Spain is re.
sponsible for all damage done to for:
eign property by the insurgents Large
claims have already been fled by for
eigners for damage done by vested in
terests. Although the recent move
ments of the army have been credita-
bly, accomplished, they have been
exaggerated in cabled reports to
America to make people think de-
cisiye movements were being exc
cuted. Operations against the enemy
continue to be extensive, but merely
defensive of Manila and the neigh
boring region. ~ s

New York, March 24.-The Journals
special from Manila says: Aguinaldo
is making every preparation to resist
an American advance upon Maloios
from any direction. By means Of a
system of dykes, which is nearly COM
pleted, all streams about the insur-
gent capital may be so DETECTED as to
Hood the surrounding country and
make military operations extremely
difficult. All strategically placed
towns have been encircled with five
lines of iptrenchments. These are sur
rounded by cane spikes so imbedded
as to mutilate the feet of charging
force. Railroad bridges on the ap-
proaches to Malolos have been de-
stroyed and the banks of all fordable
rivers and streams have been guarded
by long lines of intrenclments. The
American troops are thoroughly pre-
pared. however, to replace bridges in
the advance upon Malolos.

reach Manila in about two weeks.
These three vessels will add about
5000 fresh regular troops to the mill

Visitors to Paris, who are in the

learning to visit the school where the
expert motorman learns to steer his
machine so dexterously through the
busy traffic Of the Partisan streets. At
Aubervilliers, near Paris. the Cam
pagn1e Generate des Voitures has es-
tabllshed motor track, about $500
feet long, upon which the drivers are
taught to steer the cars through paths
of difficulty. Looking at the course
one would feel convinced that could
the driver find his way with his ma
chine unframed through the. innu-
merable obstacles placed upon it, he
would certainly have no difficulty in
passing through the eye Of the needle.
