L. - THE ANDREE BALLOON HOUSE.
It May Never Again Cover the Balloon for
which It Was Built. ,
‘The entire civilized world is waiting
anxiously for news from Dr. Andree,
whose balloon ‘trip toward the North
Pole was started last month. The
picture herewith given shows the
house in which the balloon was built.
Although this balloon may be regarded
as being in almost; every respect a
novelty, the most striking characteris-
tic is the guiding and steering appar-
atus. This apparatus, to describe it
in brief, consists mainly of guiding
ropes of different lengths, the shortest
being about 1,000 feet, and the longest
These
ropes hang from the bearing-ring just
above the car and drag along the
«earth or ice. 'The idea of having dif-
. 11!. A“"__

ferent lengths of rope is that in case
one of them got foul of some object,
the others should run free. These
guiding ropes drag after the balloon,
and are shifted by the voyager as he
wills, so that their weight and hold on
the balloon shall affect its course in
one direction or another. .It was Dr.
Andree’s intention to keep about 500
feet above the earth—4that is, of course,
on the average; for it is obvious that
when the weather is bright and» warm
the balloon would ascend a little, while
when it is dull and colder it would
come nearer the earth. Still, the guid-
ing-ropes are intended to prevent its
ascending above a certain altitude.
The car is, however, the most inter-
esting part of the whole aerial vessel.
It is only about 5 feet deep and a little
over 6 feet in diameter. It is covered
with a lid of basket-work, andin the
lid there is a trap—door to allow the
explorers to pass through. One man
. sleeps at a time, while the others are
at work and at watch. The question
of the hour is: “What has become of
Andree and of his balloon?”
Admiral Beardslee.
Admiral Beardslee, who has just
been superseded by Admiral Miller at
Honolulu, is expected to make an in-
teresting report to the Secretary of
the Navy on Hawaiian affairs.
Lester A. Beardslee is one of the
picturesque characters of the navy.
He was born at Little Falls, N. Y.,
Feb. 1, 1836. Receiving a common
school education, he was appointed
acting midshipman March 5, 1850..
After being promoted to passed mid-
shipman, June 20, 1856, he was de—
tailed for special service on the steam
frigate Merrimac. His promotions to
be master and lieutenant followed soon
afterward. On July 16, 1863, he was
made lieutenant commander and was

In November, 1880, Commander
- Beardslee got his captain’s commission
and with it at leave of absence for two
years. He commanded the receivinsr

when he was transferred to the steam

T0 REFORM AFRICA.
Hell Chatelain Proposes to Liberate Slaves
and Teach Them Trades.
An expedition has just started from
the United States for the Dark Contin-
ent, which was bent wholly upon the
task of improving the condition of the
natives 'of Africa. Its leader was Mr.
Hell Chatelain. Several Americans ac-
companied him. Mr. Chatelain is of
Swiss origin, and he has been in this
country for some time organizing the
Phil-African League. The purpose of
_the league is to overthrow the internal
slave trade in Africa. It is estimated
by Mr. Chatelain that there are fifty
million slaves at the present time in
that continent. He has been an inde-
fatigable African traveler and knows
whereof he speaks. His plan is to es—
tablish villages on lands conceded by
the Congo State and the European gov-
e‘rnments, to be made up of free na-
tives and rescued slaves, who are to be
educated in farming and handicrafts.
Each station will have its work divid-
ed into the four departments of agri-
culture, industry, education and medi-
cal and charitable oversight. The
work is to begin on the high table-land
between Benguella and Lake Nyassa.
The Phil-African Liberators’v League,
which has undertaken to support‘this
mOVement, has for its president Dr.
L. T. Chamberlain and for its treasurer
the Hon. Thomas L. James. The list
of vice-presidents and the board of di—
rectors include many well-known
.names. The movement begins in a
small way and without ostentation‘;
but no work of philanthropy was ever
better thought out or more competent-
ly directed.

The Self-Tacitus: Yacht.
Mr. Herbert Consterdine, the famous
English engineer, has been exhibiting
a very clever invention which does
away with manual aid in the tacking
and steering. of model and workaday
yachts. The idea is worked on a model
. cutter yacht, which measures all over
about 9 feet. Hitherto with such a
yacht it has only been possible to run
before the wind or set the boat on a.
single tack which will carry her in a.
straight line from one side of a lake to
the other. 'But with Mr. Consterdine’s
mechanism it is now possible, as has
been demonstrated to the satisfaction
of experts to set a yacht off from a lee
shore and make her reach the wind-
ward side by automatically tacking
against the wind. The principle of'
Mr. Consterdine’s invention is such
that the beating to windward may be
continued indefinitely, of course given
a continuous wind and a sufficiently
large sheet ofwater. If the yacht is
not required to reach the weather shore
she can be set to go a definite number
of tacks, after the completion of which

she will of herself cease tacking and
return to the lee shore, running before
the wind. To do this she lets go the
main sail to the required amount; the
other sails and positions of helm are
also self-adjusted. The port and star-
board tacks may also be made of equal
or unequal lengths as desired. If the
yacht loses her true hearing when
sailing before the wind she automati-
cally rights herself and comes again
into position for continuing her course
leeward. _ .
An Historical Headquarters.
One of the historical structures at
Regonville is about to be torn down,
and with it goes an interesting land-
mark of the war of 1870-71. This is
the famous building in which Emperof‘
William I. slept after the battle of

occupied by Napoleon on the night of
August 15. All the furnishings of the
former building are being kept as his-
torical relics, even to the bed in which
the aged Emperor slept.
A criminal from the rural districts,
who had heard all about the appeals

been convicted of a penitentiary of-

had anything to say.
