The FLYING AcHINE:-Th flying ma
chine has taken its departure from the Per-
manent Exhibition. It's owner and the
management could not agree. The differ
ence was about money. The machine
thought itself, the main attraction of the
opening-day, and therefore entitled to a
percentage on the receipts Of the same. The
managers OF the Permanent happened to
entertain exactly the contrary opinion.
Hence resulted a separation, the machine
going out into the open air, where an cxhibi-
ton is desired to test its merits 1t worked
satisfactorily under tie Exhibition roof, but
an outdoor exhibition is what is now
wanted. Philadelphia Inquirer, goth.

E THE MINNEAPOLIS Mill EXPLOs1ON.-
Minneapolis, M,np., May 20.-In the coro-
ner's inquest on the victims of the mill eX-
posion to-day, Professors Peckham and
Peck, Of the State University, submitted
voluminous reports Of investigation and
practical experiments made to demonstrate
the fact that the explosion was caused by
the ignition OF mill-dust floating in the air,
probably from sparks generated by the fric-
ton of the stones, and the consequent
formation OF expansive gas. The report of
Professor Peck contains long list Of re-
concentrations as to the prevention Of SINH
lar disasters in mills.
