Winie Worth a Drop. The city of Bremen posseses twelve hogsheads of what, according 3 to certain calculatious undertaken by the'Neue Freie Pre'eso, must be tho most e'xpenqve6'overage in the world.

The town purohased iu lb24 twelve hogsheads of Rudesheiimer at 300 gold thalers each. These were placed in the inlinicipal 'ollae, where they still remain. At the end of next year these hogsheads will be 250 years old, and pill. rechanigg Iho in terest on the original price at per have cost 790,680,000 thalers. The waste of wine from evaporation is always estimated at five per'cont.

per annum there remain, consequently, only 4d bottles of the original supply. This mRuuual loss has beet 'tnaile by means of old wine found in the cellar. Calculat. ing the price of a bottle of this wine at one thalkr only, the 216,000 botties which will have bdo'n tlis a'ded by the end of 1874 will be wortn 3,427,920,000 thalers, granting the same rate of interest', flve per cent. At the end of next year the twelve hogsheads thus repleni0hdd 'vill have cos't 4.

thriers, giving an averago of 244,232 thalers per bottle. The ho sbeads are not, however, all of the same auluo. They are filled up on a system by whiiql the wine added must, in the course timie, pass through all the eleven hogho'ads before, reaching the last, which contains t'he ofalst and most precious liquid, each drop of which, reckoning I a bottle at 1,000 18 hovY w'rtl' 56,000 thalers.

Dupuy do Lorne, who sends information that by I means of of a sorew worked by eight mon, in a balloon weighing altogether four tons, he has been able to cause the balloon to deviate twelve degrees either way from th'e direetio in which the wind was biowing. Thil, as the chairman remarked, would have enabled balloons to go into 1aria, as well as out of it. A step in the dimpo nF I strength with lightness, was exft! ed in small machine occupying less thou a square yard, in which steam was got up by the use of gas, in less than two minutes, to a pressure of 100 ponndi to the square inch. The macnr wighs only forty pounds, and is of Tour horso power. On the same principle, it was observed that anothengino could be made of 100 horse gower, that will weigh within 700 pounds.
