The Inventor Of the Flying Ship.

The history of the art of flying, like that
all other great discoveries, is the history of a
mans life. Forty-two years ago, of still
summer Sabbath afternoon, a youth of seven
teen, in small Jersey village, was sitting un-
der, scarce listening to, what was doubtless a
very good sermon Of his fathers, a clergyman
But the boys thoughts were of green fields
murmuring brooks, and the song of BIRDS
His eyes followed his musings out the open
windows. Suddenly passed before him, in
rapid flight and majestic swoOps, magllifi-
cent eagle, king alike of the air and the whole
feathered creation. Possibly the text that
day had been: "Ohl that had the wings of
a bird, then would fly away and be at rest. "
Be that as it may, the instant an electric re-
solve in the boys mind was: "Not till / have
the power in air of the wings of bird, will l
be at rest" That afternoon the fiying-1na-
chine was born in embryo.
To acquire skill, delicacy, and rapidity of
manipulation, the young man learned watch
making. To acquire knowledge OF the sci
ences, he entered upon and passed with hon
Or through course of medicine and surgery,
with DR.. Valentine Mott, in the old College
of Physicians and Surgeons in Barclay street,
getting his degree in 1929. His mechanical
and scientific proficiency were both bent to
the one life purpose-the invention of flying
machine. But money was a necessity, He
must be rich. So the matchmaker and physi-
clan invented and patented an unpickable
lock, sold it to Hobbs, whose name it bears,
and pocketed $4,000, in those days quite a
fortune. That lock has been the nursing
mother of the flying machine. The name Of
that matchmaker, doctor, lock-inventor, is Sol
ONION Andrews, now hale man, of fifty-nine,
born in Herkimer County, N. Y, but living
most OF his life in Perth Amboy, N. j. He
invented the lock which is uspd in the TTnitad
States mail service. At the request of his oys-
ter-selling townsmen, that they might be re-
lieyed from the yoke of the Connecticut keg-
makers he invented machinery by which a
Jerseyman may make his own oyster-kegs,
and at the rate of a hundred day. He has
invented very many other things beside, so
that even the pipe which he holds in his
mouth while he talks about the air-ship is con-
structed on a principle entirely new,

AN IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-The Pail
Mall Gazette has the following announce
ment: "a discovery, of at least as vital i'm
portance for Egyptology as the celebrated Ro-
setta stone itself, was made about three weeks
ago by party of four German explorers
Reinisch, Roster, Lepsius and Weidenbach-
at place called Sane, the whilom Tanis, the
principal scene of Rameses lis enormous
architectural undertakings. A stone with
Greek characters upon it was found protrud-
ing from the ground, and when fully eycayat-
ed proved to contain bilingual inscription in
no less than thirty seven lines of hieroglyphics
and seventy-six lines of Greek, in the most
perfect state of preservation, and dating from
the time OF the third Ptolemy, Euergetes l., in
13S b. c. The stone measures two metres
twenty-five centimetrcs in width, and is COM
pletely covered by the inscriptions. Their
first attempts at editing this important in
scription having failed, the travellers returned
to the spot, and during stay of two DAYS, the
22d and 23d OF April, copied the inscription
most carefully, and photographed it three
times. The next post will bring particulars
as to the contents, and copies OF the docu-
ment ITSELF" "
