THE SOIiDIKH'H REVB.IOE.
A. P. 1C55.
BY THEODORE TILTON.
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.
