THK BILIilAlll) BALL.
It- I’tdfo- of Manufacture— A Very l*e
euliar Industry.
.Üb'iny Arana.
Tin-manufacture of billiard balls from
celluloid and txinsilate is a peculiar in
dustry. from the fact that the only factory
"f the kind in the world is in this city. A
large proportion of the balls now made are
of celluloid, but only for the reason that
the machinery is not as well adapted to
tin manufacture of honsilate balls. The
time will come, however, when till the balls
will be made of the latter material. The
celluloid, which is received in large
white sheets, is tirst cut into small
square pieces about tire-eights of
an inch in -i/e. These are placed
iuu> a mould previously heated by
►team to the proper temperature. They
•tr>- then placed in the hydraulic presses,
and tv ith a pressure of from 1,500 to 1,000
p onds to the square inch are roughly
moulded, heat at the same time lieing ap
i ii' . The various positions of thebiocks
in the mould give the ball the peculiar
tuoni, and appearance when tinished. Kx
perim. nt- have been made by grinding
the i * Hut..id to a powder, sml using it in
that fi.rm, but nothing has succeeded so
11 a- tii, j,r.s. nt method. After being
taken fruiii the moulds, the balls are
turin ,i absolutely spherical by an ex
ceedingly ingenious device.
Tin processes in the manufacture of
! ~'>nsilate balls are quite different in many
respects. The material is placed in the
moulds in powder, and tue balls, after
-ing roughly pressed up, considerably
larger than the required size, are covered
"bh rubber and tin foil, to prevent the
material from lieing injured bj water, and j
arc then placed under water pressure. \
by means of this, which is the onlv ina- I
chine <>t the kind in existence, the balls
are placed under a pressure of from 3,000
<>r 4.000 pounds to the square inch. The
water touching the ball at every point,
anil the pressure being equally transmit
ted, the result is a perfectly pressed
sphere, of just the same specific gravity
i*> one sjsjt as in another. With
out this apparatus, the successful
manufacture of billiard halls from bon
silate would have been impossible. A
simple but ingenious contrivance is also
employed to ascertain when the balls
are perfectly poised or balanced.
I hey are first weighed, and art* then
placed m a flat dish of mercury. This
subtle fluid detects the slightest shade of
inaccuracy, and the halls are put in the
lathe and corrected until they are abso
lutely true. Not only billiard but pool
aiK * bagatelle balls are made. The prices
at which they are sold are far below those
charged for ivory, ranging from $5 50 to
513 50 per set of four balls for billiatds,
and front $26 to SSO per set of sixteen halls
for pool.

A FLIGHT IX THE AIR.
A Three Year Old Child Meets with an
Extraordinary Balloon Ad venture.
Mnreh+rul City , -V. C., S/>eeial, 181 h nit.
A thrilling episode in this village yes
! trdny caused yin ore excitement, conster
nation and weeping among the people
than were ever known here before. The
three year old daughter of Mrs. Robert
Elliott was brought to the seaside a month
ago to recover from a severe attack of
Texas fever. She became a pet and a fa
vorite at the Alabama Hotel. Yesterday
morning a strolling Italian made his ap
pearance in front of the hotel
with a large cluster of those red bladders
like toy balloons. Major Hawkins, of
Alabama, to amuse the child Birdie, who
he. at that time, had in his arms, tied the
cord around her waist, and then, as is so
often done to amuse children, gave her a
toss of five or six feet in the air and held
out his hands tor her return. “Great
God! she is gone, 7 ’ cried the Major, as he
-aw her rapidly going up, up, up, until
she had passed the house tops. Floating
in the clouds with outstretched hands, the
little angel could be heard distinctly call
ing "Mamma! mamma! mamma!’’until
her voice became drowned by the whist
ling of the winds.
“All to vour boats!” shouted old Cap
tain Dixon, and never a son of a man
turn back until that child is brought to
its mammy!”
“I, I. I,'' responded six of as brave and
daring boatmen as ever reefed a sail, and
all with boats seaworthy for any waters.
Minutes appeared as hours, and the
babe was flying southeast like a kite,
i and would be out over the great Atlantic
i ocean in less than no time. Away went
, twenty or more well manned boats
; amidst the shouts of men and
' screams of women and children.
I These boats were joined by a like
number from Beaufort, all of which kept
i as near under the little angel in the cloud
as possible. Mr. Charles J. Yoorhees, of
the i-outhern Express Company, with a
party of gentlemen, were out taking a
sail. Mr. Yoorhees is one of the most
exjiert riflemen in the country, and, as
Providence had ordained it, he had on
board his Smith A Wesson rifle. He at
once took in the situation, remarking,
“Six miles out at sea and going at the
rate of ten miles an hour, and now' four
| hundred yards high, and every minute
I going higher, higher, higher. I can cut
' those balloons, and will do it or die.
steady the boat, throw her leeward of the
squadron, ’Squire Wade.”
“Let us all jine in prayer before he
-hoot-.” said Steve Turner, the colored
minister and mail carrier.
"1 don’t put much confidence in ’ligion
when danger is about," said Mr. Dixon.
By this time the boat had gotten in po
sition to give her the most protection
from the stilt' breeze then blowing.
“Now’s your time,” shouted Piver,
“don’t you see them two oil' to them
selves?”
“Bang!” went the rifle—but no change
in position. Again, again and again—
the tiftli shot one balloon disappeared
amidst the shouts of the boatmen. At the
j eighth shot it became evident that the
i balloons could not longer carry the .weight
| ot the little floating angel, as she was
gradually descending, not in a straight
i line but in a southeast direction, toward
Marker’s Island—but whether dead or
' alive none could tell. Down, down, uovvti
, she comes as gentle as if handled bv
human hands—and to fall in a cradle of
! sand.
To land, to land, and all put to shore as
fast a- the sails would projiel the boats.
Before they reached land most of them
jumped overboard and waded ashore.
Then began the race fer the babe, and
-lie had come down on a sand bank only a
few hundred yards distant. With fear
and trembling all ran up—Ben Piver in
front. “Gentlemen,” says he, “she’s
alive and kicking.” There sat little
Birdie, playing with a lot of shells, and
as she was picked up she clung on to a
handful, saying, ”lhe seh for mamma.
With the prize all returned to the boats.
There sat Mr. Yoorhees with a death-like
pallor on his countenance, and when told
that he had saved the bal>e unhurt, his
tender heart gave way and lie wept like a
child. “All aboard and back to More
head." shouts Captain Dixon. The boats
were rapidly gotten under way, and each
wanted to be the first to convey the glad
tidings, but they all ran near together,
with hats and handkerchiefs flying, amidst
the cheers and screams of several hun
dred people.
The excitement of landing surpasses
description. At the wharf, after every
thing seemed safe, then little Birdie came
the nearest of losing her life. Colonel
Wittord, a man of generous impulses,
seized the little angel in his arms and at
a lightning speed started tor its mother,
who was then lying in an unconscious
state, under the skillful care of Drs. Hay
wood, Arendall and Kelly, of Louisiana.
But liefore the kind-hearted Colonel bad
gone far. amidst the dense crowd and
confusion, he ran oil' the wharf into the
water over eight feet deep. Several jump
ed overboard and aided him in landing
his prize. The child was none the worse
for the ducking.
By 4 oVlock Mrs. Elliott became con
scious. The guests of the house assem
bled in the ball room at 5 p. m. to return
thanks to Mr. Yoorhees and the noble
itoatmen, and express condolence anil
sympathy for Mrs. Elliott. Major Haw
kins catne forward and made a few re
marks, but was too much excited to
-peak, but. says he, “Had that babe been
lost my mind was made ut>- I would have
rested to-night with her in the sea.” Thus
ended a day of the most intense excite
ment that the oldest inhabitant here ever
dreamed or thought of.
Miil-Ocean Light Houses, Signal Sta
tions, Etc.
AVir York Maritime Register.
A short time ago the Maritime Jieaister
pointed out the desirability ot Mid-Ocean
stations for meteorological reports. It
showed that such stations would serve
the same purpose in securing storm warn
ings for navigation as the land stations
do now for the general public. The idea
was found to Ik- a good one and its value
and importance are readily admitted.
The llwjister suggested that floating
stations were among the possibilities of
the future, it needing only a demand to
call them into existence. This plan of
Mid-i >cean Stations has also been suggest
ed for another purpose. Mr. \V. C.
Anderson, of England, in a recent paper
read before the London Society of Engi
neers, suggested what seems to lie a prac
tical plan for founding deep sea light
houses. Mis idea is to construct a hollow
cylinder of riveted iron work, 200 feet
long, to consist of two sections—the upper
part to be 140 feet long, destined to rear
its head above the waves and fitted as an
ordinary light house, while the remain
ing portion of the tube is to be ballasted
so as to sink lielow the water line and
counteract the force of winds and waves
on the exposed part. The whole appa
ratus is to be anchored in deep water by
heavy steel cables. The inventor claims
that it would be easy to tow such a struc
ture to the spot selected for it, and then
by admitting water to the lower section it
w : ould assume an upright position and
ride the waves like a bottle. Chambers’
i Journal for June, in speaking of the plan,
; suggests the idea of utilizing it for found
-1 ing a system of mid-ocean floating tele
graph stations. The New York Herald,
writing upon the same subject, says: The
idea of founding mid-ocean floating tele
graph stations has long been discussed,
but no engineer has yet devised, unless it
be Air. Anderson, any structure which
would remain stationary, and if connect
ed with the telegraphic cables
would not in stormy weather endanger
them. The depth of water to which the
agitation of a wave reaches never bears a
large proportion to the wave’s dimen
sions, the motion diminishing in geome
trical progressions as the depth below* the
surface increases in arithmetical. “In
the case of a wave a quarter of a mile in
breadth and to feet in height,” as Sir John
Herschel shows, “the displacement of the
water at a depth of 1,320 feet, in its pass
age over it. would l>e less than an inch, j
and would lie incapable of disturbing the |
smallest grain of sand.” As Atlantic i
waves seldom attain these dimensions, it
seems highly probable that the construc
tion of a deep sea floating station which
can in all weather lie kept in place Is not
a mechanical impossibility. The success j
with which gaslighted buoys have been i
maintained on storm swept shoals on our
sea coast may be taken as evidence that
such a structure as Air, Anderson devises
might be made with some modifications as
to shape and length, to stand moored to
anchor blocks in deep water. If this
much could be demonstrated the work of
connecting the structure with one of the
transatlantic cable would lie simple: and
the structure, thus serving the purpose of
a mid-ocean telegraph station, would be
an immense boon both to navigation and
to meteorological science.
Atlanta, Ga., Alay Ift, 1883.
1 have known and watched the use of j
the remedy known as swift's Specific for
twenty years, and have seen more won
derful results from it than any remedy in
side or outside of the Pharmacopoeia. I
know its composition, and do not hesitate
to say that it is the safest and most effi
cient antidote to all blood poison that is I
known to science. For diseases incident
to spring, it has no equal in assisting na
ture to throw off the impurities of the
blood brought on by the sluggish circula- .
tion in the winter months. 1 know it to I
be entirely vegetable, being prepared j
from the roots and herbs of our Georgia j
forests. Asa tonic and alterative for j
children, it is superior to everything, as |
it cleanses the system, tones up the di- ,
gestive organs, and gives the little ones a j
chance to grow and fatten. A few bot- j

THE LAUD KING’S OFFER.
Willing to Pay His Victims Hall' of
What He Owes.
<'hit-ay i Special, Id.
A meeting or the creditors of McGeoeh,
Everingham & Cos. was held this after
noon in the rooms of the call board. Mr.
J. K. Bensley, the receiver appointed bv
Judge Gardner, submitted a statement, in
which he said that under the direction of
the court he took charge of the affairs of
the firm on the 18th of June. He found
them in great confusion, and, after much
labor, ascertained the amount due the
trade at the time of the firm's failure to
be $1,803,384 58; deducting margins sur
rendered and to be surrendered. $608.-
473 37, leaving due and unsecured to the
members of the board. $1,194,911 21.
The lard held by the banks was of the
value of $3,950,000, the net proceeds of
which amounted to $3,800,000. leaving a
net deficit due the banks of $150,000. This
would leave the unsecured liabilities of
the firm at $1,344,911 21. Against this he
has in hand cash and cash assets amount
ing to $200,000.
The report stated that Mr. McGeoeh had
not been in the city since the failure, but
Mr. Bensley went to Milwaukee and bad
an interview with him and with a num
ber of his friends, and after much negoti
ation Mr. McGeoeh off'ered to raise 8450,-
000, which, witlt the $200,000 mentioned
above,' would make $650,000, a sum which
would come near paying fifty cents on the
dollar, The report went on to state that
the firm would pay fifty cents on the dol
lar cash if all the creditors will sign an
agreement to accept this as a lull dis
charge of all their claims. This accept
ance would involve a dismissal ot' all suits
now pending in the courts.
The report further states that Mr.
Wells does not appear as a partner in the
firm. Me is seventy-five years of age,
and, though reported to be wealthy, he
has very heavy liabilities already due or
about to become due, to secure which he
has secured nearly all of his property.
No other parties were interested with
McGeoeh or with the firm in any of their
transactions. Mr. Bensley was of the
opinion that it the creditors did not accept
the offer they would not realize anything
like fifty cents on the dollar out of the
estate, and, if the offer was not accepted,
the promise of $450,000 would not be good.
This statement does not include country
accounts of the linn, but the receiver cal
culates that these would about balance
each other.
The Foreign Labor Question.
We have not seen a better reply to the
general drift and spirit of the letters,
which Mr. B. I*. Porter is furnishing to
the Tribune than the following communi
cation to the Chicago ’lribune from a
naturalized citizen, whose qualifications
to criticise are vouched for by
Air. Porter, the hired witness for the
New York tribune, appears to have no
difficulty in England in finding such evi
dence against free trade as lie lias been
told to get. Me is a good example of that
paradox that a man may lie in speaking
the literal truth. The examples of pov
erty and distress that he exhibits are no
doubt correct, but his inferences and his
insinuation that they are fairly represen
tative of the condition of English work
ingmen arc false.
Born and reared among the working
classes of England, my boyhood was spent
in London during the years of the free
trade agitation. I was twenty years old
when the free trade policy was' adopted
and the “protection” antiquity discarded
forever. I have a vivid recollection of the
social and moral condition of the working
classes during the period when the “pro
tective” system oppressed the industry of
Great Britain. After a thirty years’ resi
dence in America, I returned to England
a short time ago, and could scarcely
recognize the people, so great was their
improvement under the operation of the
enlightened system of free trade. I found
the workingmen receiving much higher
wages for less hours of labor, while the
price of every article oi food, clothing,and
other necessaries had been correspond
ingly reduced. And yet individual cases
of poverty could be found in every town
in England if the detectives chose to
search for them.
If the Chicago Tribune will send me
over to England with instructions to find
evidence of the wealth and comfort of the
English workingman, 1 will guarantee to
find it: if you instruct me to find the evi
dence of their extreme poverty and degra
dation. 1 agree to furnish that also. Tell
me what sort of testimony you want, and
I will briug it into court—-of riches or
poverty, ot virtue or vice, of manly inde
pendence or abject servility—just tell me
what you want and you shall have it. i
will earn my wages.
If the London Times will hire me to
furnish similar testimony as to the social
condition of the people in America, 1 can
do so, and in both cases I will tell the
literal truth; the lie will consist in the
inference that my exceptional instances
fairly represent the general condition.
Within the last three weeks 1 have seen
and heard more violent expressions of
discontent from the workingmen of Chi
cago than 1 ever heard in England during
the hungry agitation of forty years ago.
Within that time, at a large meeting of
more than 300 people, I have heard the
condition of the workingmen of Chicago
described by themselves as a condition of
“wage-slavery.” I heard one very intel
ligent man declare that more people had
been evicted from tlieir homes in Chicago
on the Ist of May, for the crime of pov
erty, than had been evicted during
the" whole year in Ireland. 1 heard
another man, a good speaker too,
say, with intense feeling, "I fought four
years to free the black slaves of tiii; South;
1 ant now ready to tight to emancipate the
white slaves of the North;” and when the
hopelessness of successful revolution was
suggested, he admitted that monopoly
was so strongly intrenched that it could
not he overthrown by open lighting in the
field, but he said, “We can usedynamite;”
and then the whole company burst into
applause. He continued: “Because the
Chicago Tribune denounces dynamite,
weak men flinch from its use, but dyna

slaveryand again the meeting applaud
ed. N’ew, Mr. Editor, if I should sell this
testimony to the London Times as fair
evidence of the condition of American
workingmen, L should imitate the swilt
witness, Porter; I should constitute inv
seli a liar lor money, although tiie facts
related would be true.
This meeting was not a secret one; it
was not held in any out-of-the-way cor
ner; it yvas open to everybody, and took
place on the very same street where the
Tribune is jmblished. it adjourned in a
somewhat electrical condition. As l was
passing out a man whom I never saw be
fore addressed me in a rather excited
manner: “They never touched the true
cause of our trouble,” lie said, “never
touched it at all.” “What is it?” I in
quired. “The Infernal tariff,” he replied,
“that makes everything dear that we
buy!”
"Why didn't you tell them so?” I said.
“Because I didn’t get a chance; there
were so many of them trying to speak that
the chairman didn’t recognize me.” This
man had worked out the solution of the
problem by the arithmetic of his house
hold expenses, as the workingmen ot Eng
land did at last. If the mechanics of
America could see the English mechanic
of 1843, and contrast him with his son of
1883, they would not lie deluded another
minute by the sophistries of what is false
ly called “protection.”
Republican.
The Lost Colony of the Norsemen.
A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine
hopes that the distinguished explorer,
Nordenskjold, the discoverer of the north
east passage, may fliul, in the interior of
Greenland, which he is going to explore,
the famous lost colony of Eirek the Red.
This colony settled in Greenland in the
latter part of the tenth century, and in
the fourteenth mysteriously disappeared,
never to lie heard of again.
It was in 986 that Eirek the Red settled
in Greenland and established himself at a
place he called lirattahlld, on a creek
named after its discoverer, Kirckstjord.
and supposed to be the modern Tunuulli
orbik, on the eastern coast of Baffin’s
Bay, latitude 60 degrees and 55 minutes.
Through the influence of King OlafTryg
gvason—the hero of Longfellow’s “Saga of
King Olaf” —the Greenland colonists were
converted to Christianity. The settle
ment increased, and others were found
ed; the whole inhabited districts being
divided into the West Bygd and the
East Bygd. Bygd meant a populated
district, and the desolate tract between
the two was I'bvgd—“No man’s land.”
Both of these settlements at otic time rep
resented 2*o farms, 3 towns, a cathedral,
15 churches and four monasteries. The
tirst Bishop was ordained in 1211, the
last in 1404. In 140 ft he is known to have
officiated at a marriage. A little later
the whole colony disappeared. Bishop and
all, and has never since been heard of.
Their icy towns remain uninhabited save
by white bears and foxes. In 182 ft the
east coast was thoroughly explored by
CaptainJGraah. of the Danish navy, but
no traces of the ancient colonists were
discovered. The settlements on the west
coast are ruins. But implements of wood
and iron have been found, and church
bells, and a great stone beariug Runic
characters to this effect:
“Erling Sighvatsson and Bjarni 2 /tor
dasson, and Eindred Cddsson,on Saturday
before Gang-day [Ascension Day] raised
tliese marks ana cleared the ground . 1315.”
Touching, too, is the quaint inscription
upon the tomb of a woman—“Vigdis
resteth here; God make glad her soul!”
What became of this colony * Some be
lieved the plague slew all the settlers in
the 14th century; others that pirates de
stroyed them, others that the Esquimaux
annihilated them. But the colony was in
existence hall a century after the great
plague era; the Norse pirates never cared
to attack such remote and simple colonies
except to revenge a feud; and the Norse
men of Greenland were antagonists far
too terrible to be attacked by the feeble
Esquimaux.
New Greenland once verily deserved
its name, and yvas not so cold as uoyv.
There were great glacial changes after
the colony yvas well established. Grad
ually the settlements became uninhabita
ble. It is now supposed the people emi
grated iu a laxly into the unknown inte
rior, yvhich is still believed to be green
and good land; for vast numbers of hun
gry birds do yearly fly thither. The
Norsemen could not have retreated by
way of the sea without perishing in the
rapidly freezing waves. They could not
have retreated to the interior" without be
ing separated by impassable and ever
thickening ice from the rest of the world.
This is believed to have been the case; and
Nordenskjold will spend fourteen months
exploring Greenland in endeavors to find
them.
The discovery of the forgotten colony
would be not less strangely romantic
than the discovery of the Island of the
Seven Cities, of Portuguese tradition.
Separated more than 400 years from the
rest of the world, these Norse people
would remain precisely as they were in
the fourteenth century; they would speak
the Runic tongue that is no longer spoken
elsewhere, and possess a folklore closely
related to Scandinavian mythology. All
that yve call “modern progress” would be
utterly incomprehensible to them; but
they might still preserve the great songs
of the Skalds, and perhaps those Viking
chants the loss of which modern musi
cians so much deplore.
National Armies.
-Veiv Orleans Times-Democrat.
A translation from one of the leading
Paris papers, elsewhere printed, gives a
number of absolutely startling figures re
garding the militarp capacities of Europe.
The assurance of peace, for a time, at
least, seems to be proven by such statis
tics; and any Russian ambition in a west
ward direction must be checked by tlie
power of a triple alliance, which can
call nine millions of men to bat
tle. Even were France and Russia
to summon their reserves for the
fray, between six and seven
millions of soldiers yvould have small
chance ot success. Were all Europe
threatened by some vast Asiatic invasion,
as in the era of the Iluns or that of the
Mongols, with the modern system of re
cruiting the great powers could oppose
sixteen millions of men to the enemy,
leaving the lesser States to furnish re
serves. These figures are appalling; but
for such hosts the continent of Europe
holds no battle ground enormous enough to
enable them to deploy—and only the step
pes of Central Asia or the Western plains
of America would offer space enough
for a review. Were all these soldiers
under arms, it yvould cost at least $5,000,-
imk) a day to feed them; and supposing
them all to be armed yvith the best modern
rilles they would need no artillery to de
molish fortifications. A rifle tire from
sixteen million rifies, concentrated upon
any single spot—supposing it were possi
ble for all to lire at the same time, would
bury the place fired upon under a moun
tain of lead—discharged at the rate of a
thousand tons an hour. Calculations of
the most fantastic kind might lie made
upon this basis.
Needless to say, however, that such
powers could never be gathered together
at one time, although they , might be
raised in successive surges, in military
waves of immense depth, “land storms”
as tlie translation of a German word gives
it. We are not contemplating the mere
growth of armies in Europe, but a mathe
matically calculated system of recruiting,
by yvhich in the course of so many
years, the entire able-bodied male pop
ulation of a country may be converted
into soldiers. Perhaps the first extraor
dinary evidence of a nation’s latent pow
ers of military expansion and absorption
was afforded by the United Statescivil war.
But the system lias now been developed
In a manner that cannot fail to yield the
most astonishing results. In a feyv years
more the figures quoted by L’Evenemeut
will have been far exceeded; and the mili
tary resources of each country so augment
ed that yvar will have become far more ter
rific than ever before. It is argued that
expensive as such armed neutrality must
be, it is cheaper in the end, as it deters
war. Two nations, each able to arm and
call into the field seven or eight or even
ten armies of 1,000,000 men each, would
shrink back at the prospect of the terrific
slaughter such a struggle would inv'olve
—a struggle only to be terminated per
haps by the total destruction oi the whole
able bodied male portion of a people.
Such an outlook yvould further compel
arbitration or intervention by other
powers.
The secret of this military organiza
tion, however, may prove some day a
fatal discovery for Europe. Barbaric
nations of infinitely greater numerical
strength may, and doubtless will adopt
the plan of "converting the entire male
population into soldiers; and if these can
be armed with improved weapons, the
idea of what armies China might yet
raise becomes terrifying. Certainly ihe
near future holds stranger history in re
serve than the world’s historians have yet
yvritten; and something will come to pass
which will not have had any precedent.

“ For water drinkers it is of the utmost

water of the highest type of purity, agree
able in flavour, exhilarating by reason of
its sparkling effervescence, and suitable
for daily use as a table luxury; and in
