DIRIolBLE BALLOONS.

The diriglblc balloon IL by no

people seem to think. As a matter
Of fact, rs long ago as 1854 General
Mcusnier proposed the construction
Of an elongated balloon which might
be propelled through the air. EI-
pcrlmcnts were made with It by two
brothers named Robert, who made
several asrnts and attained a spcvl
" thrrc miles an hour, though the
method Of propulsion was only aerial

Their was attempted until 1852, when
Henri GiiTard built diriglbles which,
by means Of a light steam engine,
he propelled at nearly seven miles
an hour, and since then various cx-
pcrimcnts have been made which ul.

Elephant skin is very beautiful.

The price Of large elephant is

plants do not grow within a stones

leather manufacturer that contract
ed TO furnish many eephant-skin

find himself under bfg burden. lie
must wait until some tame, pet ele-
plant, so to speak, dies.
