The following passage from Jules Venn's new wonder book, "The Mysterious Island," now appearing serially in Stribner's Monthly, gives ssi idea of the apparently hopeless plight in which this author delights in placing his heroes : A terrible situation, that of these unfortunate! They were evidently rno tone masters of the baloon.

It was, in fact, impossible to pre vent the flight of the gas, which esraied through a large rent in the sack of the balnon. Iy lightening the car of nil the objrets which it contained, the pas. sengers had been able to proloi.g their suspension in the air for some hoars, but the inventable catas trophe couid only be delayed, and if some land did not disclose itse'f ere nightfall, passengers, air and baloon would have finally disa(t peared beneath the waves. The only manoeuvre still left to perform was accomplished at that moment. The baloon passengers were evidently energetic " people, who knew how to look death in the face. Not a single murmur hail been heard to escape IVum their lips. The car was only a kind of wicker case, unfit to float, and there was no possibility of maintaining it on the surface of the sea it it tell there. At two o'clock the ba'oon was scarcely two hundred feet above the water. At that moment, a manly voice, that ot one Whose heart was inac cessible to tear, made itself heard. To that voice responded no less en- ergetic voices. "Is everything thrown out?" "No, there is still ten thousand francs in gold." A heavy sack fell at the same in stant into the sea. "Is the baloon rising again? "A littlejmt it will not be long in falling back." ' "What is thee left to throw away?0 "Nothing." "But there is! The car!" "Let us cling to the net, and into the sea with the car!" It was indeed the last and only means of lightening the air-ship. The eotda which held the car were cut, atsl after its fall the baloon as cended two thousand feet. The five passengers had hoisted themselves into the net, above the ring, and supported themselves in the labyrinth of meshes, looking Every one knows with what static sensibility beloous are endow ed.
