THE NAVIGATION OF THE A1R.-A
model of steam flying ship Is on exhi-
bition in New York. It consists of q
steam vessel with large paddles, wiriciI
it is intended, by revolving rapidly and
beating the air like the wings Uf q bird.
shall propel the vessel through the air.
The ship is suspended from o large bal
loon, the bottom Of which is huge ad-
justrble plate, to be made Of sheet-iron.
The design is to place the ship, which
rests on wheels, on railroad track on
an inclined plane, and the theory is that
when a certain velocity is attained tho
vessel will rise in the air, and may bo
propelled in any direction. The steeH<
ing apparatus resembles the tail Of q
bird. The sheet-iron plate, it is thought,
catching the air like kite, will assist In
giving buoyance to the whole contriv-
ance. This air-ship seems to be con-
structcd very much on the principle Of.
that now building in California. Until
it is practically tested no one can predict
with certainty whether it will be sue
cess or a failure.
A DANGEROUS CHEMIcAL.-People.
cannot be too careful in the preservation
of the combination used in max ing what
is termed ''red fire." 1t is often pur-
chased on the Fourth of July, and kent
in houses unused until forgotten. tits
liable to sudden combustion, and Il
highly dangerous. A druggist of Phila.
delphia, named Hendricks, had some in
a closet, wrapped in paper. During Fri
day night it set fire to the house.
Luckily, it burns with strong odor.-
The druggist was aroused by this, and
extinguished the flames without much
loss. Still, the escape was not wide
one, and the case may prove timely
admonition to other people.
SUMNER HEAT.-It is sometimes said
that the heat Of our hot summer days IL
equal to that experienced in tropical
countries; but when we look at facts and
figures we learn something for our con-
ISOLATION. For instance, We find that ct
Lucknow, in India, sometime in the
month of June, the thermometer at I
O'Clock in the morning marked 96 de-
grees in the shade, and rose during the
day to 100 degrees in the shade. Al
Delhi it ranged for two weeks from lO6
to 100 degrees. But it must also be-
stated that such heat is too much even
for the natives, to succumb IN great
numbers on such occasions.
In 1861 Judge Claggett deliberately
wrote and published the following
charge against the present Democratic
candidate for Governor:
JUDGE Mason Is . DIsUNIONIsT. -

For six years Judge Mason stood be-
fore the cotntry thus branded as q
TRAITOR bg leader in his own party,
