Nearly every aeronaut who hus contemplated a pro jeot of this sort has aupiHwcd a mounter airship, holdluK from 990,000 to 400,000 cublafootof gBB, to be rcqulsito. Pro fewor Haien consider iuch a huge machine unnoceaaary, and, on many grounda, undealrable. It la enormounly heavy, very difficult to handlo, almoat impoaflhlo to make Kaa-tight and costs a great sum of money. An envolopo containing 100,000 cubic feet should bo plonty big enough for a voyage to Europe. If enough cash for tho pur chase of such a one cannot ho got, tho attempt may ho made In a balloon of 50,000 cubic feet. Tho chief difficulty met with in aerial voyages ia leakage of gaa. Hut science haa rocontly loarned how to construct balloons that will not leak. At all events such gas hugs are now mado In Europe which loao gas only at tho rato of one-half of one per cent n day. Tho algnal office has already purchased ono of this tletcription. Tho material UBod la gold-heaters' akin, which is obtained from a part of tho intestines of tho ox called tho "canjum." It is somewhat mure costly than cotton or oven silk, hut it ia auperior for tho puqiose in many ways. Tho main point is that a tight balloon can be mado of it, which is not practicable with any other substance hitherto tried. The gold-beaters' Bkin comes in small sheets, the biggest obtainable being 23 by 10 inches. It looks somewhat like oiled tissue to the oye, but is not porouB. Six layers put togothor make alout tho thickness of letter paper, with nearly tho samo weight sb Bilk. Howover, four thicknesses will servo for a balloon, the shoots being ovorlaid uiran each other in such a way that .there aro no joints or ill IIS ill ENGRAVING COURIER PUB CO.

Outside of his working hours, tho White Hoimo sees very llttlo of tho president. Mrs. Cleveland still keops to hor custom of either driving in town with him ovei-y .morning or coming for him in tho attornoon, when they extend their drlvo around tho country, now so glorious in its autumn dress Thoso who have seen Mrs. Cleveland lately say that she novor looked as handsome. Mrs. Perrine, who went to Chicago with Postmaster General and Mrs. lHsnoll, re turned also with them and Is staying at Woodloy. Tho ladles uro at home to their friends pretty much tho same as at tho White House, hut very naturally no other persons would call at tho c'ouii' try house without n special invitation. It is quite probahlo that President and Mrs. Cleveland will romaln,ln tho coun try for another month at least, and in fact tho house will bo kept in readiness for them ut any time during tho winter. Mrs. Cleveland is just as devoted to tho tho quiet of the country as tho presi dent, and as bIio is fond of walking ulxmt the woods, she can have all tho outdoor exerclso she wants in company with the babies, a pleasure not to bo thought of by hor in tho streets of tho city. Tho fall house cleaning at tho Whito House has not been started so far as tho parlor floor is concerned. Tho carpets aro not yot down nor tho curtains hung, but there will bo amplo time for it all before tho roturn of tho fandly. Tho official season, from the 1st of January till Ash Wednesday, will bo very short in 1U. Lent will begin on tho 7th of Foburury, and the season will, therefore, cover only about ilvo wookB. If all the Btato dinners and levees are to bo arranged within this short compass, tho Whito House will bo practically open all the time to society, and between tho hospitalities that will bo extended by tho members of the cabinet tho dates will bo so close to gothor that there will be little chance for any of those not In official station to do much during that time.

It In well represented by the Cosmos club, the most conserva tive organization of its kind, perhaps, in tho city. It in coiuitosod entirely of scientific nown, and is purely social In its nature. It In here that the scien tists moot and find relaxation. The chili property at 1W0 II street Is valued at ftfltXOOO or $70,000, and in owned by the momliers. Its house is now undergoing repaiiH. It used to bo the home of Dolly Madi son after tho death of the president, and horo sho ontortnlned royally for several years. Admiral Wilken, who wan con nected with tho Trent atTair, also made his home horo for some time. Later tho house became tho headquarters of Gen eral McClellan. After the repairs aro completed it will bo a very well-up pointed clubhouse. No voice is moro missed in tho senato these stirring days than that of John J. Ingalls, of Kansas. Whatever olso Mr. Ingulls was he was always interesting, always bubbling with aphorisms; his effervescent eloquence always blew out trlto nubbles which crystallized into axioms. No ono knows what side Mr. Ingalls would array his tulonts on it ho woro wearing a senatorial toga now, hut that ho would bo in tho thick of tho fight unci that his two-edged sword would inflict deep cuts in not' a matter for doubt. Thoro 1b an impression among tho Kansas republicans in congress that tho tido of politics will onco more drift Mr. Ingulls back to his Beat in tho aonntc. "Ingalls has been a vacillating reed, it harp struck by every passing breezo of public sentiment," was tho way one of them put It yesterday. "His talents seom to bo heavy and his convictions feather-weighted, hut tho young repub licans aro controlling tho party in Kan sas now. Tho old faction which put Ingulls out haa gone over to tho popu lists, and I think ho will gradually work his way back. He is not likely to suc ceed Martin, whose term is, finished In 1895, but I holiove he will come back to his old seat, which Peffor took from him, when Poffor's term is up, 1897. Ingulls is too brilliant a light to ho snuffed out from politics. The eoplo of Kansas uro proud of Ills ability.

When tho time for the wedding came, howover, madamo accepted tho invitation sent hor, and surprised every one who knew unything of what had been going on behind tho scones, by gushing over tho brldo and congratulat ing her with tears of joy on "hor happi ness in having secured nucha husband." Hut the astonishment of tho initiated wan not quite no great when, a few minutes later, they saw that tho wily little intviiiunU'. had succeeded in getting the groom at art, and had managed to interest him no much in whatever sho wan nayiug to him, that tho latter wus uppurontly totally oblivious to tho fact that all eyes in tho room woro rivotod on him, and that his brido wan taking in the whole sltmition. Tho latter, how ever, was equal to tho emergency, unci, on tho principle probably of a beau jeu. bean retain; ut onco began what looked like u very flirtatious conversation with un old flume of hors, who seemed noth ing loath to play into hor hands. Affairs had been ut this painful stage for somo moments when tho groom suddenly uwoko to u sense of tho fitness of things, und precipitately roturnod to his placo ut his wife's side. Things then resumed their equilibrium, but tho episode wus naturally, of course, tho topic of tho day, and in still being warmly discussed. Tho newly arrived Danish minister, Count Roventlow, who last week pre sented the credentials of his otllco to the president, 1b, from all reports, likely to bo an acquisition of no moan culibro to tho social world of Washington. In addition to being handsomo, still on tho sunny sido of forty, and us yet unmated, ho is u brilliant musician und has, it is said, already announced his dotormiuu tlon to make tho Danish legution, under his Bwuy, ono of the musical centres of tho capital. No ono ever supposed that fine erudi tion was a distinctive characteristic of the members of our upper houso, but it was taken as u matter of course that tho man who rose to tho dignity of boing u United States senator, hud nt least tho dangerously little learning thut goes with u "common school education." So tho country has hoard with surprise, us well as amusement, somo raro blunders on the purt of tho tremendous intellects at Washington. Senator Potter's oxclted utterance that "wo are till Americans, all Anglo-Saxons!" repeated a dozen times in tho course of his speech in tho senate, wus worthy of Sir Boyle, himself, WEDDING INVITATIONS and ANNOUNCEMENTS.
