Santos-Dumont, ono. 49,"

From the London Globe.
NJ Santos-Dumont is engaged on a new
balloon, mo. 49," of novel character. 1t
Is intended to make long voyages at a
moderate speed by varying the ascensional
force of the balloon so as to combat it's
caprices without the aid of ballast. His
plan is not to expand or contract the gas
by heat, but to employ a mixed balloon,
partly gaseous. partly of the Montgolfier
type, In which the ascensional force is
varied by change of temperature of heated
air, The vertical equilibrium of the bal
loon can thus be re-established by means
of a small quantity of combustible matter
giving off smoke or heated fumes The
idea Is not new, but it can be carried out
now with less risk of setting fire to the gas
bag.
The new balloon has an ovoid vanished
silk gas bag 10 meters long and 141a meters
thick In the middle. 1t holds about 1902
cubic meters of gas, and from its under
side, at the middle, projects downward an
egg cup or pear-shaped pocket of vanished
cotton III cubic meters In capacity which
Is virtually a small Montgolfier balloon
Petrol burners inside the Montgolfier pocket
heat and dilate the air in 1t according to
requirements. The burners are seven
meters below the gas bag so there is little
chance of its catching fire. The balloon will
be driven by motor and helix capable
of orientatfon, so as to serve for steering as
well as propelling It, The speed is expected
TO be some three to four meters second

Sir Harry johnson on Liberia.
Prom the London Times.

FROM the London Times.
Sir Harry johnson. the well-known
African explorer and author, told the Royal
Geographical Society In London the other
evening some things he knows about
Liberia, the black mans republic In west
Africa.
What he said throws certain light upon
the tracts published by the Negro Coloni-
zation Society. He stated that apart from
hematite iron, which appeared to exist nearly
everywhere, there were traces of gold in
the mud of the rivers, and native stories
asserted the existence of alluvial gold in
the Mandingo uplands beyond the forest
region. Lead had been discovered recently
in the Kelipo country in eastern Liberia,
and zinc ore in the vicinity of Monrovia.
The Liberian forests contained most of the
West African timber trees. The wealth of
the forest in India rubber producing trees.
vines and bushes was without parallel in
any other part Of Africa, unless 1t was
found In one or two small areas of the
Congo basin. Beyond the forest region a
park-like country was entered. Elephants
were abundant all over Liberia; in fact.
many OF the paths through the forest were
little else than elephant tracks. In the
central parts of Liberia, within the limits
of the forest there was no doubt THAT
cannibalism prevailed
Nowhere In Liberia had he noticed any
race of negroes wholly naked, either among
men or women. II Ii were compared with
other parts of West Africa, he was of opin-
ion that Liberia was less unhealthy for the
European than Sierra Leone, the Ivory
Coast, the Gold Coast and Lagos From
the European point of view perhaps the
most healthy part of Liberia was the north
ern half. and from all accounts ii will be
prefer for their trading or mining settle.
