This eoldrn lecrcnd first was told When Swedes and Danes were foes of old. One morn the Swedes gave way bo soon, The baitle ended at the noon. Two foes lav sweltering on the sand, Each wonnded by the other's hand. The Swede exclaimed, "'0 day accurst, That sees a soldier die of thirst 1" The Dane replied, with anguish wriinir, "My water-flask shall cool thy tongue. "1 filled It at a mountain-spring; Drink thou to Denmark and the King ! 'But precious Ions if any drips; Bo hold it stead to thy lips I" The Swede replied, "If thee I kill, Thy flftck is mine to drink my till 1" Then, drawing poniard from his elrth, He struck a blow, but stabbed the earth. The Dane exclaimed, "0 wretched Swede! How durst thou try so bate a deed ? "By heaven ! I take revenge, 0 knave 1" Then, snatching back the flask he gave, "Thirst thou," he cried, "while I shall quaff Thy throat shall swallow only half I "But curse thy loss, O dastard soul ! I meant to bid thee diiuk the whole." The King of Denmark overheard. And smiling at the deed and word, Proclaimed in siaht of all his train, "I dub thee kmgut, 0 noble Dbdc !" Uprose a noise of Danish cheers Heard yet through twice a hundred years'. H i every hero hath reward Oi men, ot kings, or of the Lord 1 The Nation. SOLCMON ANDREWS' FLYIKQ SHIP. Whoever walks down Houston street now-a-days is compelled to notice on the corner of Greene stit-et a rough board tcace of remarkable height, and so closely made as to be proof ngainst the eyes of Ihe most curious. If nothing else calls his attention to it, the group of vaga bond boys will be enough, as they hang about the entrance and stare at a singular engraving; or perhaps, no policeman being present, fur tively fling a stone, or a sharp-edged oyster shell, over the top of the wall. Within the mys Bterious inclosure is the flying vessel the ship which can sail a hundred and fifty miles an hour, which easily sails dead against the wind, which discards pteura and coal and engines, and for a motive-power relies on the attraction of gravitation, which is to supersede rail way trains and steamboats as a means of travelling by sea and land, which can cross the ocean in less than three days; which, it you build it of metal, and that can be done without the smallest trouble, will become available not only for the convey ance of passengers, but also for the transporta tion of the heaviest and bulkiest merchandise. It is the aerial ship, the aereon General ficheiick, which is to uo all this, which is to more than realize 'Mr. Darwin's predictions, which is to prove that Tennyson's airy navies grappling in the central blue are not only a possibility but a probability, and may at any time when governments shall choose become a fact. Already, in New York, a company is in existence, wuh president and directors, and subscribed capital, and an office in Walker eireet, which intends at once to tlx upon routes of aerial navigation between our great cities, . and construct aerial vessels for conveying pas sengers and Ireigtit, and which, as we have seen, has already built one ship that is now floating at anchor in Houston street. Her, within ten days, shall we not see, as she comes Failing down towQ at no great distance above our heads, tacking aud hum?, ascending and descending, going with the wind and against it, visiting any part ot the city, as the helmsman may direct, and at the end ot the voyage coming into harbor on the exact spot from which she set out? The payment of a dollar admits you to a close . Inspection ol this wonder. Going in lrom the level ot the street, one finds before him the site of,. some building that has been utterly de stroyed by fire. The rubbish has been mostly cleared away, and he descends by a flight of many Bteps to what was once the cellar floor. The neighbois of the burnt building still re main; so the visitor, when he gels to the bottom ol the steps, is, at the bottom ot a great square pit, the sides 'ot which are either lo.ty brick w alls, or, it the walls are lo at any place, the wooden lence is seen surmounting them. There is sand undcT foot and a strong smell of gas around, and high above, balanced in the atr, the Rtiip itself, a great hutf colored cloud, with a network of cords around it, strains at the ropes that bold it dowD, and casts a shadow over the sand. . She is a balloon, not round like a ball but elongated, and at each end running to a sharp Eoiut. As the ship is now lying, Iheae beaks, er prow and stern, point towards the horizon, and it is not intended that they snail ever point up and down towards the zenith and the nadir. Fiom end to end her length is eighty-six leet, and her diameter from side to side at the point of greatest width is forty-two teet. In shapo she would look much like an Indian's baric canoe, supposing the top of the canoe to be cloced as the bottom is, if it were not tor a leather strap which, passing from the bow, .goes underneath the vessel to the stern, and then is carried alone the top to the bow again. As the balloon swells acraiustthis band, there is created a longitudiual depression extending the whole length of the vessel, and like the cavity made when two cylinders are laid side by side, aud tbis depression can be creuted at the captain's will. Its capacity is CG.OOO cubic fet, and the mate rial ot which It is made is very havy pongee silk. As you look up, a portrait oi General Scott, in colors once gaudy but now faded, stares down from the forward part of the bal loon, and on the alter part there Is a General McClellan, lor the Inventor of the flying ship, in buildimr It, has used the material ot two old army balloons, and has adapted it to its present use with characteristic Ingenuity. The lower half, say, of each balloon was left whole, tho upper part from zenith to equator was cut as an orange peel is out, then, by fitting these saw toothed ends into each other, a balloon was ob tained new m 6hapo and cheap in cost. Under neath the balloon is a narrow, wicker-work car, twelve leet long, secured by many ropes. "Characteristic ingenuity," we said, and these are words that mar well enough be applied to the mau who invented the famous Hobbs lock; who invented the lock which is used in the United States mail pervice; who, at the request ol his oyster-selling townsmen, that tbey might be relieved from the yoke ot the Connecticut keg-makers, Invented machinery by which a Jersey man may make his own oyster-kegs, and at the rate ot a hundred a day; who has invented very many other things besides, so that even the pipe which he held in his mouth while he talked with us about the alr-sblp, was con structed on a principle entirely ne w. It is upon the chape of the vessel, he explained to us, that everyihiua depends. Fill around balloon with gas and it abends, don't it? Goes up vertically. Throw out ballast, It rises higher: let gas escape, it sinks; but it has no forward motion. You've se.n it drift, vou mean; go hither and thither with the currents. It has no motion of its own except the vertical ; no mo mentum, no motion relatively to the medium in which it floats. But now 1 vou fill with gas a long, broad-backed, sharp-pointed balloon, a balloon so shaped that vertical motion will be verv bard lor It, will be trreally resisted, what w ill happen then 1 How will such a balloon go lip? Jt will a-cend in the direction ol the line of least resistance. That stands to reason; It's the only way it can go. It will go uo Just as you've een a hall-sheet of paper lull; jo.i've teen it a thousand times; It (alia in a slanting direction; it docs not drop perpendicularly to the ground, but follows the line oi least re sistance tor a body of that shape. This air ship Is so shaped that when it's started at an angle of so many degrees with the plane ot the horizon to rife into the air, and the ballast is so placed as to keep her bow at the proper angle, she must necessarily rise not vertically but In a slanting direction. She keeps on rising, go;ng for w aid, jou see, by vir tue ol the slant, aud goes tip perhaps two miles. In going that tilth, she has gained so man v miles horizontally perhaps more, perhaps less, ac cording to the wind. The wiud wtll be some times with the ship, sometimes aeainst it, and In the average there 1.4 neither gain nor loss by )t. llavinsr reached a heltrht of two miles, say, the balloon's bow Is pointed downwards. That is very easily done by sliding a certain portion of ballast tor certain distance from the centre of the car, so as to give the axis of the balloon the proper inclination. Then gas is allowed to escape, and the descent begins. It will be just like the ascent, the line ot least resistance will be followed, and in going down so many miles two, for instance -so many miles of forward movement will bo made. Having approached near enough to the ground, another ascent will be made, and then another descent, and so on, till bv a succession of tacks, as the sailors say only In aerial navigation the tacks;wHl be up and down instead ot being from side t side the end of the iourncy w'll be reaohed. Let the wind blow as hard as it likes; imagine, if you please, that it blows hard enouzh to carry a globular balloon backward, or sideways, or anyway, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, in the ase ot a ship balloon nothing would be easier lhaii to guide it by t he rudder, and give it an as cending motion wnich would carry it forward in an hour sixty miles of horizontal distance, and thus you beat the wind ten miles. We were assured that almost any conceivable speed ol upward or downward motion could be imparted to the ship, and that the utmost effect of a storm of wind would be to retard hermotion and not to prevent it wholly. A tornado could hardly do that; and In general the action of wind would be so little troublesome or danger ous that it roitrht be disregarded. It would only be necessary in boisterous voyages to expend more ballast and more gas in tacking more fre quently and keeping tip a greater rate of speed. Sneering ? There would be no trouble about that. A drilling balloon could not be steered, but once get momentum and steering follows as a matter of course. What did Professor Henry say in his report to Stanton about the flying ship that was ottered to the Government in 1H64? He said: "Dr. Andrews has also fully illus trated the fact to the commission that his aerial vessel while passing through the air can be steered. This fact, however, might have been inferred as corollary from the faot of the trans mission. ince the direction of a body relative to the medium through which it is moving must evidently be changed tt the resistance on one side is made greater or less than that on the other." There w ould be no difficulty, either, In making the passengers comfortable. It would be but a very little while before the passenger by aereon would have a sleeping berth or a state-room more luxurious, a better opportunity for getting his meals, and be in all respects better cared for, than the passenger by rail or by steamboat. No mode of travelling would bable to compare with aerial navigation In point ot speed, and by and by it must be incomparably cheaper than any other method of Transportation. There would be no roads to bulla, no tracks to lay, no lands to bay, nothing to pay for but the balloon itself and the gas to fill it. In the presence of this ardent benefactor of the race, we none of us suggested what nevertheless of course occuned to u', that in cases of accident the Atrial Navigation Company will have no bills to pay no hush money for trifling injuries to arras and legs. All accidents will be fatal. It is true that passei gers by aereon may have human relatives and ties to bind them to earth. But even in that ca-e what surviving friends can hope success 1n suing these gigantic corpora tions? The speaker went on: the cost ot the necessary gas was much greater at present than it would be hereafter. Undoubt edly a balloon could be made ot cop per (topper can be made nearly as thin as gold leaf), and then the greater part of the original charge of gas would last for an indefinite period, as there would be no leakage whatever, and no gas would be lost excent the ouantitv that might be allowed to escape in the descents. Of course it would not be possible to keep going any longer man gas ana Daiiast noiti out; but no mora could a locomotive keen eolnor anv longer than fuel and water hold out. The ship would be able to stop regularly and lay in a supply of gas and sand. The cheapness of the motive power would be an immense advantage. Nothing could be cheaper than gravitation I When the model was on exhibition in Washing ton an army officer walked into the room and Inquired. WhHt's the motor, sir? Gravitation, sir. He turned round and walked out without sayine one word. Hut simple and plain as the invention seemed, no invention that bad ever been made would appear greater in the result of its practical application than this of the flying ship. It would revolutionize all travel and an transportation; its eitects would be felt in every field of activity; indeed, it was the greatest invention ot the century, if not the ereatest that had ever been matte In the whole history of the race. This account of the new conveyance is pretty nearly the same that the inventor will doubtless eive gladly to any visitor ot small knowledge in aerostation. For our own part, being in that category, we may confess that we almost half believed, and we fully hoped, that the coming trial-trip may be sueceesiul, and that this mar vel may speedily go into that clas3 of scientific miracles which daily repaiition makes common place. The list is along one of those romantic wonders to which, alter science has killed them, science elves again a sort ot ganvanized life; and what finer revival of the prince's carpet could be asked than that a piece of poaeee silk should carry us to Europe through the upper air ? The Ration. The Tower of Ciphers. From the Educational Monthly. The enlightened mtin may have a clear under standing ot thousands and even millions; but much beyond that he can form no distinct idea. A simple example, and one easily solved, will illustrate the observation. It all the vast bodies of water that cover nearly three-fourths of the globe were emptied, drop by drop, into one ereat reservoir, the whole number of drops could be win ten by two words, "eighteen sectilllons," and expressed in figures bv annexing twenty four ciphers to the number "eighteeen (18.000, 000,000.0(10,000,000,000,000). Man mieht as welt attempt to explore the bounds of eternity, an to form any rational idea of the units embodied in the expression above; for although the aggre gate ot drops is indicated by figures in the space of only one inch ann a half of ordinary print, yet, 11 each particular drop were noted bv a separate stroke, like Ihe figure 1, it would form a line of marks sufficiently lone to wind round the sun six thousand billions of times I " Now, observe, it vou please, the marvellous power of value which the ciphers, insignificant by themselves, give 'O the bieniticant figures 18. The young reader will be surprised to learn that the use ol the cipher to determine the value of any particular figure, which is now practised by every school-buy, nus unknown to the ancient.
