The first newspaper ever printed in a balloon was the Jim Crow edition of the "Dayton (O.) Journal.' It was printed on a handpress in the basket of the balloon Hoosier, which began an aerial voyage from Dayton recently, and was distributed in the various cities and towns over which it sailed. The paper was issued under the direction of George R. McClellan, the publisher of the "Dayton Journal." The balloon, which had a capacity of 80,000 cubic feet, left Dayton at ten o'clock in the morning and reached Indianapolis the next evening. Chinese sailors will not rescue a drowning man, the Imperial Service Guild points out. If a Chinaman rescues another he is bound, under Chinese law, to keep him and feed him for the rest of his life. A record herring lib. in weight and 11| in. long and 7in. in girth, has been landed at Berwick. The value of the trade of the" British Empire is more than £1,600,000,000 a year.
