A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from Bambery that Engineer Balderauer. of Salzberg, has invented balloon railroad, experiments with which are now being made in the mountains in the neighborhood of that German city. It consists of a stationary balloon, which is fastened to a slide running along a single steel rail. The rail is fastened to the side of a steep noun tain, which ordinary railroads could not climb, except through deep cuts and tunnels. The balloon is to float about S5 feet over the ground. and heavy steel cable connects it with the rail- The conductor can, at will, make the balloon slide up and down the side of the mountain. For going up the motive power is furnished by hydrogen gas, while the descent is caused by pressure of water, which is poured into large tank at the up- per end of the road, and which serves as ballast. Suspended from the bal loon is circular car with room for ten passengers. The cable goes from the bottom of the balloon through the center of the car to a regulator of speed, which is controlled by the con- ductor. The inventor of this railroad claims that his patent will force all incline cable roads out of existence.

West Virginia Bear Hunt.

A large black bear caused quite an excitement in this section last week. He was first discovered near Aleck Parks residence with an air of blGv- cry not altogether lovely.
 Aleck has two fierce dogs that chased him up against the garden fence, and, as is often the case, no gun could be found loaded, and after tossing the dogs around over the meadow with apparent ease he crossed over to near Harper Wolford's on the creek and made his escape in the jungle, hotly pursued by dozen or more men and dogs with short breath and fast beating hearts.-Hampshire Review.

FROG WAS TO BLAME.
Weather Prophet Had Simply Put Faith Where He Believed He
 Had a Right.

James Wilson, the secretary of agri- culture, was discussing an antiquated kind of farming
 Tt is about as profitable and logi- cal,' he said, "as the weather reading of d Connecticut farmland I used to know.
 This farmland claimed that he could read the weather infallibly. On a walk with me one afternoon frog croaked. and he said:
 We will have clear weather for A hours When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sure of 24 hours of sunshine.
 We walked on. and in 20 minutes or so a heavy shower came up and we were both drenched to the skin.
 You are a fine weather prophet, said I, as we hurried homeward through the downpour. You ought to be ashamed of yourself
 70. well said the farmland, the frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular frog?'"

It's dollars to doughnuts that it is

good behind this road and the truth
will get out very soon. That it is
backed by greater line is CLEANED
from the fact that another certain

Texas to a connecting point with

small shops are to be erected in
