Origin OF the BALLOON.

The word balloon means "a large
ball" To Montgolfler Of Annonay,
France. the invention of the balloon is
credited. It is said that he was led to
turn his, attention to. balloon making
from the following incident: A French
laundress, wishing to dry petticoat
quickly, placed It on a basket work
frame over a stove. To prevent the
heat from escaping by the opening at
the top Of the petticoat she drew the
belt strings closely together and tied
them. Gradually the garment dried
and became lighter, and as the stove
continued to give out heat and rarely
the air concentrated under the basket
work frame the petticoat began to
move and finally rose in the air. This
80 astonished the laundress that she
ran to her neighbors and asked them
to come and witness the strange sight.

Rcu.emer steel.

The so called bessemer process Of
making steel by injecting air blasts
into molten iron was discovered first
by an American named Kelly and
known as his air boiling process. After
the ironworkers had seen it done they
still would not believe it. "Some crank
will be burning ice next thing" they.
said. Some Of his customers when
they heard about it wrote Kelly that
they wanted their iron made either In
the regular way, and not by any new
tangled method, or not at all. When
the first blast was so strong that it
melted the iron the spectators roared
with laughter at what they called
'Kelly's fireworks and laughed for
ten years at his folly" When Besse.
mer introduced his process to the Brit
ish ironmakers they, too, roared with
laughter at the "crazy Frenchman"
and would not allow the "silly idea'' to
be mentioned in their records. The
steel rail proposition excited only de-
r1sion. "Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Non
sensev said the railroad directors
when it was proposed to them. But
after one road had tried it the steel
mills could not keep up with the or
ders sent in. -.....-

Peculiar Light Giving Animals.

Peculiar Light Giving Animals.
A peculiar light giving animal found
In southern Californian waters is the
heteropod. The metropolis, dazzling
white and almost shapeless, can often
be seen floating on the clear water.
Their bodies are almost transparent,
and they have In addition to a long
tall a powerful sucker, by which they
cling to seaweed. When these crea-
lures are irritated they seem to emit
a light from al over the body, though
one writer describes one in which the
light-red in this case-seemed to radi-
ate from the center Of the animal. OF
all the light giving animals the salpa
Is said to be the most wonderful. Like
the heteropod, this animal Is provided
with claspers that enable it to fasten
to seaweed and rocks. So plentiful are
they In Californian waters. that the
Santa Catalina channel, which is from
eighteen to twenty miles wide and
about forty-flve miles long, is at times
literally covered with them as far as
the eye can reach. Covering the entire
surface and cleaning like gems in the
sunlight, they present beautiful pic
ture. These animals constitute del
icacy much sought for by whales.
Some of them shed a silvery light,
while others yield blue and others red

Most of them are trained nurses. When
they leave the hospitals or their homes
to attend a case they pack their uni

Hard ON q Drowning Man.

: Vieuxtemps, the famous violinist,
used to tell the following story: When
crossing London bridge one day he
was suddenly brushed aside by a
wretched tatterdemalion, who climbed
the parapet and plunged out into the
river. The foot passengers crowded
around Immediately to watch the un-
fortunate man as he rose to the sur
face, and In trice some one shouted,
I'll bet he drownsw
1.-TWO to one he'll swim ashorer' was
the answer. The rest of the pedestri-
ans joined in the betting.
Meantime Vieuxtemps rushed down
70 the river bank, secured a waterman
and rowed out to the rescue Just as
the boatman was about to reach forth
to grasp the poor fellow, who by this
time was doundering about in the wa
ter, having lost his desire for death,
the spectators above cried out: Leave
him alone! There's bet on itv'
The Oarsman drew back into the
boat, and the unfortunate wretch sank
before their eyes.

Rivers That Flow Backward,

Near Argostoli, town on one Of the
Greek islands, four little torrents Of
sea water, rolling on an average fifty
Ave gallons second, penetrate into
the assures Of the cliffs, flow rapidly
inland and finally gradually disappear
into the crevices Of the soil. Two of
these water ), courses are sufficiently
powerful to turn all the year round the
wheels Of two mills constructed by
an enterprising Englishman. This
seems at first sight absurd on the face
Of 1t, but it Is quite easily explained.
The hills of the island are of soft, cal
careous rock, full Of assures, and suck
up water like immense. sponges. In
consequence the pools in their subter-
ranean caverns are always lower than
the surrounding sea, SO to restore the
balance these little brooks, fed by the
waves, are always descending. inland.
The, curious yet natural result of tho
constant evaporation of the sea water
Is! that gigantic masses of salt crystals
are constantly forming In the caves

Straw Rope Swings.

Korea is perhaps the oldest country
In the world, and the customs and ac-
lions that go to make up the daily life
Of the people are not at all governed
by the logic or tradition which moves
us on our enlightened way. They have
no clearly regulated sports, nothing ap-
parently that could be- likened to a
national game, They pass. most Of
their recreation hours swinging in
straw rope swings and seem entirely
happy In the sport. The straw rope,
II well made, Is extremely durable and
can stand considerable weight, as may
be judged when three ablebodied
young men impose their weight upon
the swing, standing on the shoulders
OF one. another after the manner Of
acrobats. It may be very fine pastime,
but the average American, 1t Is safe to
say, would find In It very little appeal.
