We note in the Scientific American
OF last week adraft Of derigable bal
loon, or flying machine on all fours
save as to the location of the propeller
with the derigaoie sailed by Knaben-
shue at the st. Louis Exposition. 1t
was invented by Rufus Porter Of
Washington, afterwards the founder
of the scientific American, and in Of
der to obtain money to ''float' the bal
loon, because it takes money as well as
air to do this, he sold bonds of $500
each on which was printed picture
of his machine. j. f. McCluer of
Fancy Hill, Rockbridge county, pur-
chased one of these bonds and his
son, c. f. McCluer, writes an
article on thesubject in the issue of the
scientific American referred to. The
bond bears date April %, 1852, and the
picture and article are very interesting.

become onside kicks when they touch

the punter stands nearly ten yards

an open game this fall, as there Will
undoubtedly be more forward passing
and more running. This Is because
the offensive back cannot get any
nearer the line than last fall. and the
Quarterback becomes an interferer. Tho
offensa will thus have an extra man

will be no stronger. In end runs the
! offense is strengthened and the de-

The weakness of tho forward pass
