Wells, now in Cincinnati, tells an Enquirer reporter that he wishes to organvzs a balloon company to make a balloon big enough to carry 100 persons. " I think,” he says, “ that it would prove very profitable to the company operating. It would be attached to a cable which could be paid out to any length desired. Prices for the ascen:ion would vary ac- cording to the distance, which would be from 1,000 feet to a mile. Should the people here fail to patroniza it, it could easily be transferred to Louisville and other cities, where for a time it would un- doubtedly prove a great attraction. ” “ What about long-distance trips 1" “That is just what I should like. If the car were properly equipped, there is no reason in the world why we could not make San Francisco, the City of MtXlOO, or even cross the ocean. An electric mo- tor steering and propelling apparatus is practicable now, and 1 should not feel the sash hesitancy in undertaking the voyage across the Atlantic. Of course a lifeboat that could live in any sea would be attach- ed to the car. We would also have a para- chute, which, in the case of the captive balloon, would prove a great additional attraction, as den rents from high distances could be made before large crowds of up oc- tators. " “ Balloon travelling is fast be- coming practicable, then 7 ” “ I think so, and have no doubt but that before long some adventurous aeronaut will make the north pole in his air ship, and even sail completely around the world I should like nothing better than to make the at. tempt, and think that an American should be the first to accomplish this great under. taking. " “ What other projects have you on hand, Doctor ’1’" “ Well, sir, I am at present working on some apparatus in which to pass over Niagara Falls. I think that some time this summer I shall go over the falls in a large hollow ball fifteen feet in diameter, or else attempt the same in a arachute. Then, again, if Russia and ngland make war, I shall ally myself with Russia, and use a war kite, which I have lately invented and will have patent- ed. It will be in the form of an ordinary kite, made of steel plates, and will be large enough to carry two or more men, and will be used to inspect English camps and equipments from above."

On New Year, in the villages and among the lower class of the rural popu- lace, the maidensâ€"no married women or widows are admittedâ€"assemble in some empty house, closely barricade the doors and cover the windows, lost some curious village beau should overlook the sacred rites. The guessing turns chiefly upon the probability of their marrying the en- suing yesr and on the personality of the destined, as the prospective bridegroom is called. To find this out the girls sit on the floor in a circle, and each hasbefore her a small heap of wheat or some other grain, A fowl is placed in the centre. and the owner of the heap from which he will be- gin to pick may expect to be married in the course of the next year. In a basin filled with water each guesser drops a ring of the same form, with a slight mark not reconizabie by touch. The lamp is ex- tinguished till each maiden hss fished out a ring, then relighted ; and those who have found their own rings feel quite con- fident of their matrimonial prospects. They also come out in the street to ask the names of passers-by, believing their future sweethearts will bear the same. A guessing of more general nature l e following : All participants but one leave the room ; she places in a row on the ta- ble 3 bunch of keys, a ring, a thlmble. small heaps of salt, earth, and so on All these objects are covered with cups of the same pattern, and then the door is open- ed. Then the girls hasten to the table; each lifts the fatal cup, and becomes sad or merry as the contents may tell. A ring is speedy marriage ; keys, an opulent household ;salt is thrift; a. thimble, in- dustrious life ; and earth, an early death. A curious vestige of an ancient custom, is the guessing with swimming lights. Both sexes participate. A large, flat dish, filled with water, is put on the table. Empty, halved walnut shells, with small burning tapers inside, are launched on the miniature ocean ; each player watches his particular Vessel ; if it remains swim- ming till the taper has burned down, it signifies a prosperous career ; if overturn- ed, an early death or a fatal accident ; if a man’s and a women’s shall come in con- tact and swim together, it signifies mar- riage ; if the owners are of the same sex, friendship. A game similar to this, but played on a much larger scale, is popular in some parts of India. W A Lesson in Advertising.
