in the buildings of the Edison com
pany at Silver Lake. \. j. New build
ings have been erected on the COM

M. Sibillot, Partisan AerODaut, has
devised a new principle of aerial navt-
cation which, he anticipates, Will solve
the problem of travelling through the
air. He has completed the plans Of .
new dirigible balloon which, he main
tains, will be manageable in any
weather. He proposes to carry in his
aerial machine a refrigerator and .
heating apparatus. BY simply press
ing a lever of the former he thus re-
duces the temperature of the gas, the
condensation causing the balloon to
descend. On heating the hydrogen the
gas expands. and thus the balloon as
cends. BY this alternative heating or
cooling of the gas in his balloon he
can rise or fall at will without allow
ing any of his hydrogen to escape.
