WILLAMETTE FARMER I: ffllSCELL,fiEOJs, Scientific and Practical Ballooning. Ballooning owes its origin to the discovery, about 1780, of hydrogen gas, by CavendiBh, in England, and its extraordinary lightness. The first experiments to prove its lerity were made by inclosing small quantities of the gas in air tight bags and allowing them to ascend into the upper regions of the atmosphere. Weights , were attached to these bags to show the lifting power of the gas. Cavallo, the electrician, sab sequently experimented in the same way in 1782. In 1783 the Montgolfler brothers, of Paris, repeated these experiments on a larger scale, and gave the first impulse to ballooning proper. They attached a car to a balloon, in which small animals were placed. The first human being to ascend was SI. Pelatre, who ventured up to a bight of about 100 feet, with a rope attached to the car, by which it was drawn back. The same gentle man. accompanied with a friend, soon after wards made an ascension to a bight of 3,000 feet, descending at a point about five miles dis tant. From this time the art of ballooning made rapid progress. It was at once made subservant to purposes of meteorology and physics, and as early as 1794, during the French revolution, was em ployed by the French as a military machine for making reconnoisancetf. The officers sent up communicated their observations to the earth by signaling with flags. The French array in Algiers, in 1830, were also provided with bal loons. But the most important and really practical une to which that machine has been put was its war uses during the siege of Paris, when that city depended almost entirely upon her balloons and the carrier pigeons which they took away for intercourse with the outer world. Dur'ng that memorable siege C5 balloons were sent up from the beleagured city, oarrying in all 01 passengers, 3C3 pigeons and two and a half million letters. Only five of all this num ber fell into the hands of the German army, two descended on German territory and were captured, while one disappeared entirely. The fragments of another were found hanging on a tree at fort mrai, in soutn-eastern Africa, having traversed almost lengthwise across Ihit continent. Where it dropped its unfortunate occupants was never known. Ail the others, GG in cumber, descended safely beyond the ra dius of the besieging army ia France, or upon neutral territory beyond. The two great physicists, Biot and Gay Lassao, made two ascents in 1S01, to decide some important meteorological qnestioos. They brought back from a bight of about 20, 000 feet a sample of the air, which was care fully examined and found to be identical in charaoter with that at the surface, a matter, at the timo, of considerable importance, as the nniformity of the atmosphere in the upper re gions had been called in question. In 18C3, Nader attempted to take photo graphio maps while floating in the air, but failed. The groat problem of steering balloons has been studied and experimented upon by many ot tne aDKst scientists ana machinists in France and tho world, but hitherto with no very satisfactory success. Dupay, commis sioned by tho Paris Academy of Sciences in 1872, has probably met with a larger measure of success than any one else, and has probably very nearly reached tbe ultimate in that direc tion. He gave his balloon a fish shape, and fitted it with an internal, or secondary balloon, containing more or less air and equal in bulk to one-tenth of the main balloon. The air could be let out of the Inner balloon by valves, and drawn in again by an apparatus placed in the car. This arrangement was employed to Bupenede the use of tallast. Be used a pro pelling screw turned by man-power, instead of steam, which latter was ignored, tbe strength of eight men being employed instead. His balloon carried in all 14 persons, and traveled about GO miles. Ho carried an apparatus by which he was enabled to measure his speed, and also that of the wind. His balloon moved at the rate ot about 510 feet per minute, while the wind was moving at the rate of about 2,900. The course ot tho balloon was at an angle of 12 degrees to tbe direction of the wind. In this experiment the problem of steering was solved, although only to a Blight degree sufficient for only a very moderate movement of the air, but quite insufficient for anything like even a moderate bieeze. This experi ment is quite sufficient to show tho Inability of any attempt to make ballooning priotical for any other purposes than those of war,where the expeuses of carrying a messenger to or from a beleaguered city or army are never taken into acoount. Cutting Steel With Soft Metal Discs. Prof. B. S. Hedrlrk, of Washington, read a paper at the Detroit meeting of the American Association for tbe Advancement of Science, explanatory of the mode and tbe essential char acter of the operation by which soft iron is made to cut bard steel. Tho development of heat by friction has been known for ages. A more recent discovery is that the operations of rolling and rubbing have the effect of cljanuing tbe molecular structure of iron and steel toughening and rendering more compact even cold iron and hardening as w-11 as condensing steel. Mr. Jacob Ileese, ot Pittsburg, Pa., bad ueen enaeavoring to constrtiet a machine to cut hardened cold steel. He accomplished it at length by means of a saw of soft wrought iron merely a circular disc rotating at high velocity. With low speed this wonld not cut at all; but when running at about 25,000 feet per minute me auo cut tnrougb steel rapidly, giving out an immense cascade of sparks in the operation. It was found on examining tbe debris beneath the disc that the mrticles of steel were not simply rubbed off. Thev were welded together in a pyramid like a stalagmite or the snow icicles formed on the top of Mount Washington. Prof. H-nrick ascertained that real fusion had taken place among the particles of Bteel. The disc is very little heated, bnt the steel is actually melted and drops down. Yet the bar on each side of the cut is not heated enongh to draw the temper or ozizide the metal. Solid bars of steel of two inches or three inches in diameter are thus cut through in as many ruinates. Tbe soft metal disc is about 42 inches in diameter. The naked bnd may be passed through the jet or stream of flying spark during the operation without being burned, sinoe the partioles of melted metai are in tne condition known as the spher oidal state.

Celluloid. Celluloid is the name given to a recently de vised compound resembling ivory, and which is now used for making of billiard balls, hair brashes, for the manufacture of teeth, and in general, for almost any use to which ivory may be put. This compound is said to be composed of gun-cotton, camphor and other ingredients of uncertain character. It is very innocent and attractive to the eye, but is made up of ma terials some of which at least we have learned to handle with much caution. The public have been led to believe, however, that when pre pared for toilet and other use it is altogether free from danger. Perhaps it is so so far as actual and violent explosion is concerned; nevertheless, it is asserted that celluloid will readily take fire, and burn with much violence, giving off large amounts of noxious gases, much like the burning of loose dynamite. If this is so, gentlemen who wear celluloid teeth sbonld beware how they put the lighted end of a cigar in their months; and ladies who use hair brushes with celluloid handles, should Bee that they do not bring them too close to the gas-light, for fear of unpleasant consequences. In this age of discovery and invention and adulteration, it is difficult to tell what manner of thing we are either using, eating or drinking. New Explosives. A new explosive com pound has been introduoed in Europe, and the name of "Vigorite" has been given it. It is formed of 25 to 50 per cent, of nitroline, nitrate of potash 15 to 25 per cent., chlorate of potash 10 to 30 per cent., and 15 .to 35 per.cent. of cellulose. Another explosive recently in vented by Trutzschler Falkenstein, and ap parently made of woody fiber prepared with nitro glycerine, has been reoently tes'ed in various mines in Upper Silesia. The results were on the whole not unfavorable, but the action was not always regular. The sub stance has not (as was at first claimed for it by tbe Inventor i five times the force of an equal weight of ordinary black blasting powder, and even four times was doubtful; but a three-fold force may be readily conceded. The advantages of the new agent are, less danger, as it does not explode on contact with open fire, and is but difficultly exploded by friction or concus sion; and the fact that, to effect its explosion in a blast hole, the strand match may be used. The powder is very light, and in tbe loose state burns very slowly. A manufactory for the new agent has beon eitabltahed in Eieltsch. This explosive, it will be seen, is similar to giant powder a vegetable fiber instead of a mineral powder being employed as a carrier for the nitro-glycerine. . CANNED GOODS.

The people of Vienna wore thrown into quite a state of excitonient soon after the terrible Dremorhaven aflair, becauso a police agent, moved by that terrible catastrophe, had seized and thrown into the Dauube three boxes of dynamite whioh were fouud iu an exposed lo-1 oality. These boxes, although plainly marked "Dynamite," hud been lying in a public build ing about two years, without any thought ot the dangerous charaoter of their contents, un til the oflicluls were aroused by the annouuee ment of the above mentioned catastrophe, when they were hurriedly placed in tbe hands ot a police agent, with the advice that they be at ouco turown into tue river, xnis sage advice was quickly carried out; but as atteutlon was drawn to tbe matter by certaiu lookers-on, it was suggested that the disposition made of the dangerous compound was not altogether a ju dloious one, since it plaoed in jeopardy every Bailing craft on tbe river, as well as the entire city adjacent thereto. Another officer acting ou this second thought promptly fished out two of the boxes, but the third eluded bis search, and hence the ,Bcare lest the misaiug box should suddenly reveal itselt by the de struction ot some bridge pier or pasaiug boat. Tnic British Coal Industbt. The estimate of the amount of coal raised in Oreat Britain is 130,000,000 tous; of this amount less than 5,000,000 is exported. The loss of life by ex- rlosions and other mine accidents is about ,050 per year, or one death for 100,000 tons of coal raised. These death statistics are collected and preserved, year after year, with much care and dreadful regularity, so that a collier's life xuty be pretty accurately calculated, according to tho amount of coal raised. Bow TiiET Do It Hibi, A Frenchman who baa lived in the United BUtes for some years, ays: "When they build a railroad in America, ths first thing they do is to break ground. This dons with great ceremouy. Then they break the stockholders. That is dons without cere mony." OsBMaKY Is going to send over here Mvaral oftoera of the mining department, with in fractions to study up oar mining Industries. Eating Quails. It has often been said and printed that no person could eat a quail, each day, for 30 consecutive dayH that, owing to some peculiarity about the flesh of that bird, the attempt at such a gastronomio operation would often lead to such a nanseous loathing as would utterly forbid the entrance to the stomach of even the twentieth bird. But now come a brace of Frenchmen from Louisville, Ky., who put to naUKbt this sayiDg by readily acoomplii-hing the feat; while one of the twain, after swallowing tbe thirtieth bird, smacked his lips and called for No. 31, which, with four others, was quickly dispatched, when nature reDeueu against any limner gormandizing. Thk Futube of FETnoLEDM. Although pe troleum is not iron, it is so olosely connected with it that its ups and downs have a very marked effect upon certain forms of iron and its manufactures. Tubing pipe, steel for tools, engines, boilers, pumps, tauk iron, rivets, hoops, i.ll enter largely into producing, refin ing and transporting carbon oil; in fact the consumption for this purpose demands the larger part produced of some classes mentioned. This fact gives the iron trade an interest in tne tuture ot tuts proauot. nrt. Baro.Voil umiflH Hotter;. 1752 00 Pea 1752 12H rinK i wits o"i Sm'lwMte 1 lonl 85 BKOOM CUKH.

PATENTS obtained promptly; Caveats filed expeditiously; Patent reissues taken ont; Assignments made and recorded in legal form: Codes of Patents and Assignment! procured; Examinations of Patents made here and at Washington; Examinations made of Assignments recorded in Washington. Examinations ordered and reported by Tele graph; Rejected cases taken np and Patents obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions rendered regarding the validity of Patents and Assignments; every legitimate branch of Patent Agency Business promptly and thoroughly conducted. Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice in patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventorc are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice ol tne puoiio tnrougn tne columns oi our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secure with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries whioh grant Patents, including Oreat Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Ruisia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den murk, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Soman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, iJrazJl, New Grenada, Chili, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No modeli! are reauired in European conn- tries, but tho drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than thOBe of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in tbe jyAcino states lrom two to six momna (according to the location of the country, sooNEB than any other agents. Te principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agenoy. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former oases, and can more directly judge of the and patentability of inventions discovered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of goverment, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents maybe lost by extra time consumed in trans mittiog specifications from Eastern agencies DacK to this ooast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential.
