THE Indian news is of more than
ordinary interest: Gen. Miles
telegraphs that the hostiles, nnm
bering about three thousand, men,
" women and children, are encamped
in a section of Bad Lands, where
it is evident they intend to make
their light for supremacy; there is
almost a cordon of troops around
them, hBwever, with every avenne
l.ot escape cat off, and Gen. Miles
hopes that he will be able to induce
tbe hostiles to surrender without a
struggle; the weather is bitter cold
and '' heavy mow covers the
' ground; some ead scenes are re
ported in connection with the
hostiles who were fennd on the
field after Monday's battle.

ad a portion of the ceiling boing torn

thrown on the fire and it was ex

DAEIN'U ATTEMPr.
To the North Pole in a Ballojn.
Ths north pole, despite the long, om
inous list of martyrs to scientific or
commercial curiosity, continues to ex
ert a fascination over many minds. The
problem at present discuased is whether
there is land, ice, or an open po ar sea
at the pole. An attempt is soon to be
made to solye tbe problem by n Parisian
aeronaut and a Parisian astronomer,
Messrs. Becancon and Hcrmite, neither
of whom has attained the agd of thirty.
The plan tbey propoae to adopt, while
original with them, is by no means
new. In 1870 Silbermann, and in 1874
Sivel, published studies dealing with
the practicability of reaching the north
pole by balloon. In complete igno
rance of these researches, Messrs. tier
mite and Besancon conceived tbe same
idea. Iu honor of these researches,
which they later discovered, and aa a
tribute to tbe memory of an illustrious
martyr to aeronautic acience, they de
ciued 10 call their balloon by the name
of "Sivel."
The "Sivel," when itilited, will
measure 16.250 yards, and have a diam
eter of 32 i yarda. It will be capable of
carrying 174 tons, and will have an as
censional force of three pounds to the
cubic yard. The envelope will be com
posed of two thickneaaes of Chinese
ailk, covered with a now ipecially de
viaed varnish, which renders it abio
lutely impermeable, and augments the
reaittauco of tho envelope, rendering it
capable of supporting, without rupture,
a pressure of 0 400 pounda to the equurt
yard.
The balloon, whkh ia epherical in
ahapo, will contain an immense inter
nal balloon so conatructed aa to bo per
lectly and permanently iLllited b
3 250 cubic yarda of gas under the same
preaaure. Thia is iate-ded to remeily
iu great part, the grave inconveniencea
tbe chief cause of balloon instability
whica reault from hygrometrio anil
thermometrio variations produced by
altitude changes. If the gas becomes
thinner, the interior balloon can be
depleted. If it bacomes thicker, tbe
interior balloon can be inflated. Tbe
"Sivel" is thus always inflated. The
internal balloon represents about one
fifth of the entire balloon, a needed
proportion, since balloons raised 2,700
feet loso abont one-tenth of their gas,
independently of the loss osciaioned by
emperaturo variation. The "Sivel"'
will carry several pilot balloons to be
used in studying aerial currents, and
sixteen balloonets to supply, through
its valves, ths gas of the interior bal-
oon of the "Sivel." Tho billoon'e
al tit u 1 e will be regulated by tu-iats of
trail ropo of considerable weight.
which trails 'is a species of anchor over
tho io.
lhe oar, which is of onicr.-, ia so
strengthened by et c! armatures f.a to
be absolutely rUid. It U so arranged
as to maintain iu ita interior a regular
temperature. A safety pitroleum
heater is used for the purpose. The car
will be prepared for all emergencies by
making it unsubmorsible and fu misti
ng it with runners for use as a sledge.
It is ten ftet wide by sixteen long, and
will contain, besides the two exploreis
and their throe aids, oight Esquimaux
dogs, a sledge, an unsubmersible canoe
provisions and water rendered un
frerzible by a chemical procedure. The
total weight of car and contents is fif
teen tons. Above tho cir is a bridgo
accessible by a rope ladder.
Tho explorers will sail trom fiance
in two Rieamfthip3 in tho latter part of
May, 1S92 so as to arnyo in Spitzber
gen in July. There they will depart as
soon as practicable by favorable winds
from the south. The explorat on will
last in all six months. Us cost will Le
8103,000, of which $12,000 is required
for the construction of the Sivel
The cost is defrayed by Mr. Hermito
and some English capitalists of scien
tific aspirations. While the idea of
reaobing the north pole by balloon is
not a new one, it has had its details on
this occasion for the first time worked
out with great care. L'lllustration.
GALATEA, THB fflYSTKRV.
A fovrl and Striking: Exhibition fur
Ten Cents.
The dime exhibition of "Galatea,'
next door to tbe Academy of Music on
Kine ttreet, is worth seeing. It
seldom that such a wonder can be seen
for ten cents. A Sun reporter dropped
in there yesterday afternoon and found
a good house of ladies and gentlemen
The exhibition is repeated every few
minutes. This, ia what the reporter
saw:
The curtain iojb, displaying a life
sized stone bust of a beautiful woman
plaoed upon a table, inside a boxed
enclosure, the side to the audience
being and remaining open during the
entire performance. The stage is bril
liantly lighted, and thero is no lowering
of lights or curtain. The manager took
the bust in hu arms and brought it
down for tho audience to examine
Thero was no hole in it. But
IF THERE HAD BEEN A DOZEN
they could not have decreased the merit
of the exhibition, lno bust was re
placed and the audience wore told
to keep their eyes upon it. Slowly the
oheeks began to redden, the bald
marble caput began to develop blond
hair, the eyes began to open and in
twenty or thirty seconds the etatue was
alive and lovely woman in evening
dress. She smiled and conversed with
the man on the stage, who gallantly
Dinned a red rose on her bosom. Then
slowly the cheeks paled, and with them
the rose, until the woman and flower
were both inanimate etono. The stone
then beoame the woman again and the
etons rose became a real one. It was
now announced that the woman would
die and her flesh would dissolve, leav
ing only a grinning skeleton, it was
done in less than half a minute and in
a minute more the skeleton became
huge bouquet of flowers, and the
flowers evoluted again into the woman
land the woman again beoame the origi
Inal stone. Galatea had a great run i
Richmond, and is doing a fine businet s
here.
rr is NEW, AND IT
is wonderful. Those who miss seeing
it will miss a rare opportunity. All
ten cent shows are not necessarily
Cheap John affairs. Qalatea is worth
mor i tnan the admission price.
