Siblllot, a Parisian aeronaut, has devised a new principle of aerlel navigation which ho anticipates will solve the problem of travelling through the air. He has completed the plans of a new dirigible balloon, which, he maintains, will be manag able In nny weather. He proposes to carry In his aerial machine a refrigerator and a heating apparatus. By simply pressing a lever of the former he thua reduces the temperature of the gas, the condens ation causing tho balloon to descend. On heating the hydrogen the gas ex pands and thus the balloon ascends. By this alternative heating or cool ing of the gns in his balloon he can rise or fall at will without allowing any of his hydrogen to escape. Certain of II In Job. William Bennett of Gravesend, N.
