An attempt is to be made to send it across the Desert of Sahara. The balloon will not be manned. The sole living occupants will be six pigeons, who will be in the lower compartment of a, small car. Water ballast will be carried in a. tank suspended by wire ropes below the car. Attached to the valve is a brass wire twelve metres long, bear- ing a steel ball weighing twenty kilos, which will keep the valve closed, except when the weight of the steel ball is removed, as when it touches the ground. The valve will then open, the water will flow, and the balloon will go up again. Even after a loss of a portion of the _waâ€" ter, the valve will remain closed so , long as the steel ball is suspended. The upper division of the car is provided with a camera, which is capable of taking a, photograph ev- ery fifteen minutes. The car will also carry a hydrometer, a. barometer and Ceylon Tea Is the finest Tea the world produces,‘ and is sold only in lead packets. mack, Mixed and Green. hpan tea drinkers try “Saiada” Green to; thermometers. All the instruments are capable of working five days. There are also arrangements for the escape of the pigeons when the bal- loon strikes the ground. There will be a small internal air balloon of 568 cubic metres. The balloon itself will be of 1,000 cubic metres. Another balloon of 57 cubic metres will accompany the main bal- loon. It will be composed of var- nished cambric and inflated with Illuminating gas and will carry a sail. The total weight will not ex- ceed 170 kilos, including the entire equipment. ’ -â€"-â€"â€"-<F Nurscs’ Experience. ..â€"-â€"-â€" Medical men say that a. good nurse In a difficult case is better'than meâ€" dicine, but when we canrg'et a good nurse andgood medicine, the pa- tient stands a much better chance of recovery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers: :i "I have constantly use'd St. Ja~ cobs .Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have inâ€" variably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises,- rheumatic ufl‘ections, neuralgia, etc. In cases- of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy â€"well rubbed in. I can strongly re- commend it after several years’ use and experience. It should be in evâ€" ery household." Sister Carolina, St. Andrew’s Hospital, writes: "I have found St. Jacobs Oil :1. most efficacious remâ€" edy in gout; also in sprains and bruises.
