Balloon design aims to travel to Europa and pole

An inventive balloon system by M Savine and MMelian proposes tandem hydrogen and hot air bags with a 40 meter lower cable balloon carrying two men and a 400 burner heating system. Aimed for New York to Europa and pole voyages, with Kroll of New York coordinating tests, ballast managed by heat and venting, fuel carried in rubber bags, and experiments already done in Paris. Start date set for next June from Spitzbergen, pending $9000 to $100000 for preliminary expenses.

Bizarre Talk on old bicycle schemes and street pranks

Stories of the Day recount a Perey county farmer angles for trade with blades and bicycle parts as a sellable scheme. A conspiratorial promoter and a capitalist discuss a dubious plan to make wheels cheaper, while street incidents include a yellow dog puncture racket and a man bent on avenging punctures with a hooked spoke. A gray bearded rider with a Skye dog and a rattlesnake tale add to the day’s oddities.

Big Pacific log raft voyage tests amid heavy gales

The New York Sun reports a repeat of large log raft experiments off the Oregon coast toward San Francisco. Several rafts, carrying thousands of feet of lumber, faced storms and wrecks, with only a few reaching port. One raft split in a gale near Cool Day, another near Stella after crossing the river mouth with a tow by the Mines. Profit hinges on reducing transport costs, despite high risk and prior failures.

Stanford plans stock sale to fund university operations

A clumsy report details Mrs. Stanford considering selling Palo Alto stock to raise about $16,000 a month to ensure the university’s continued operation. It notes property, horses, and a new postal dictionary sidelong, with references to a border Pacific project and various places, but the core claim centers on funds and stock to sustain the institution.
