A Ship with Wings and Paddles.

Mr.. Alicalah Dyer, of Union county,
has recently obtained a patent for an APP
paratus for navigating the air. The
machine is an ingenious one, containing
principles entirely new to aeronauts, and
which the patentee confidently believes
have solved the knotty problem of air
navigation. The body of the machine
Ill shape resembles that of an eagle, and
is intended to be propelled by different
Kinds of devices, wings and paddle
wheels, both to be simultaneously op-
Grated through the instrumentality of
mechanism connected with the driving
power. In operating the machinery, the
wings receive an upward and down ward
motion, III the manner of the wings of q
bird, their outer ends yielding as they
are raised, but opening out, and
then remaining rigid while being
depressed. The wings, if desired,
may be set at an angle so as
to propel forward as well as to raise
the machine i'll the air. The paddle
wheels are intended to be used for pro-
pelling the machine in the same way that
a vessel is propelled on water. An in
strument answering to a rudder is at
tached for guiding the machine. A bal
loon is to be used for elevating the ely
ing ship" after which it is to be guided
and controlled at the pleasure of it's oc-
cupants. MIR. Dyer has been studying
the subject OF air navigation for thirty
years, and has tried various experiments
during that time, all of which failed
until he adopted his present plan. He
took an eagle for his model, and has con-
structed his machine to initiate his pat
tern as nearly as possible. Whatever
may be the fate of Mr.. Dyer's patent he
himself has the most mistaken faith IN
its success, and is ready, as soon as the
machine can be constructed, to board
the ship and commit himself to the
wind.-GainesviUe (Ga.) Eagle.

How the GrasshOppers Fly.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Re
publican, who has been observing the
habits of the grasshopper in the interior
OF Missouri, describes their method of
taking flight as follows:
"Grasshoppers, to say the least of
them, are queer insects. They muster
in force ut regular hours, then depart,
and this programme has been followed
without variation in that vicinity for the
past three or four days. Between 1870
and II o'clock a. m. they congregate in
swarms, oftentimes covering from one
quarter to half an acre or more. They
now begin maneuvering for good start,
and in order to gain AN altitude fly
against the wind i'll a zigzag manner.
Large swarms soon reach n great height,
whore they mingle with other swarms,
and thus in vast pyramids pass away to
the northeast. Yesterday those at the
highest point went in n nOrthwesterly
direction, it being observed they We're
carried along with the winds force. No
accurate conception could be made OF
their height. Shielding the eye with an
umbrella from the sun, they appear one
vast snowfall, travelling mt the rate of ten
miles an hour. From the space of 10O
feet above ground to an altitude beyond
correct demonstration, they appear i'll
myriads, although it was clearly observed
the larger part attained the upper cur
rent. Beginning their fight in swarms,
they maintain the same order through
out. For minutes the suns light is nj
most shielded, when for a time none are
obsprye1 amin tO bp followed Inv mill
ions more of the tiny pests.
AT a low altitude, barely passing
tops of tall trees, thousands of 'hoppers
fly III venturesome way, unable to OBJ
tain proper height. in few days, how
ever, they gain sufficient strength, and
then form part of the departing multi
tude and 50 the flight keeps up. The
eye grows weary with upward watching,
but the moving hosts form a panorama
in the heavens on which the toiling hus-
bandman gazes with unspeakable JOY.
AT noon the procession had reached its
grandest proportions. The voracious
pests pour forth i'll one exhaustless
swarm, their tiny, bright wings glisten-
ing in the sunlight A hawk, sailing at
its usual height, was far below the most
venturesome. Toward 2 o'clock they
decrease i'll numbers. Swarms grow
perceptibly less, and soon few strag-
glers alone are visible, slowly following
the line of march. Another half hour
and all have passed for the day"

IN BUSINESS HOURS.

Its q poor head that cannot bear n
glass of wine" said the young man.
"Few heads can bear it in business
hours, was the reply. $50 take a
friends advice, Howard, and let the
wine alone.
The last speaker was past the meridian
of life. He had care-worn face, and
deep, thoughtful eyes. If you studied
his cOUmtonance when in repose, YOU

appointment and heartache. The other
