Flying Ship.

An experiment was made on Wednes-
day of last week at Hartford, Conn.,, with
a fying-ship that demonstrated the posi-
bility of navigating the air. A machine
was buoyed in the air not by an expansive
force of hydrogen gas, but by the revolu-
tion of wheels that lifted it up as bird is
lifted by the stroke of its wings. 1t is
obvious that mere balloon can never be
a flying S-ship, because being lighter than
an equal bulk of air, it floats, and conse-
quently drifts with the wind. The essen
tial thing in the flight of birds is weight.
IF the bird were lighter than the air it
also would drift. Now, though this ma
chine is lightened by cylinder of hydro
gen gas, yet its weight is not wholly lifted.
1t still remains on the ground. When
the navigator takes his seat the additional
weight of mans body is to be lifted.
The whole apparatus is lifted by revol-
wing fan that acts upon the air as the screw
of propeller does in the water. The fan
makes $500 revolutions per minute. Sim
liar fans working upon horizontal axes
propel it along as the navigator may de-
oAO' LII IhO 0APOAiiHShO Vn HOunSSu"J
the operator went up to the height of two
thousand feet, going high or low as he de-
sired, facing as he wished, going with the
wind or against it, turning around at will,
and after going distance of about ten
miles, returned against the wind and landed
within few feet of where it started.
This is sufficient to show that the naviga-
ton of the air is possible; it yet remains
to show that it is practicable, safe and
economical. Until this is done it will be
a mere scientific toy, having no more use
than velocipede. Still it must be evil
dent that the inventors are now on the
right track and that improvements are pos
sible which will make the fying-ship the
safest and swiftest method of crossing the
ocean, and realize the dream of Tennyson
of the nations airy navies battling in the
central blue"

Terrible Effects from Volcano.

The captain of a German steamer, just
arrived at Hong Kong, reports a singular
condition of things in the island OF New
Britain, in the South seas He found the
whole of the northeast coast enveloped in
dense smoke, and he experienced great
difficulty in proceeding up the channel be-
tween it and New Ireland, as fields OF
pumice stone, several feet in thickness,
covered the surface of the water, On Feb.
9 he reached Makada, Duke of York group,
and found that three craters had broken
out in the New Britain peninsula, from
which dense masses of pumice stone were
continually being thrown up. The passage
between Duke of York Island and Blanche
bay had been completely closed by com
pact field of pumice stone, about i've feet
in thickness, according to the statement of
the Captain to Hong Kong paper A
tidal wave swept over Blanche bay on Feb.
10, and soon afterward new island ap-
peared, about three-quarters OF mile In
diameter. This island is situated to the
south of Henderson Island, and where it
now is no bottom was previously obtained
at seventeen fathoms. 1t is probable that
other alterations have occurred which could
not be observed at the time: owing to the
m asses of floating pumice stone. The
Captain of the vessel mentioned further
says that the water in Blanche bay was
scalding hot for two days, aud that i'm
mense quantities of boiled fish and turtle
were thrown on shore and eagerly devour-
ed by the natives, who were starving in
consequence of the unusual dryness of the
season.

DEATH OF A WELL-KNowN PEACH
GROWER. Zachariah McDon ough
Roberts, a well known peach-grower and
prominent farmer, died at his late resi-
dence in Blackbird Hundred, Delaware,
on Monday, after short Illness. The de-
ceased was about seventy four years of age,
and nephew of Commodore McDonough,
of revolutionary fame He was born in
Delaware, was printer by trade, and at
one time worked on Niles's Register, in
Baltimore. He returned to Delaware for
ty years ago, and engaged in farming.
Mr. John E. Owens, the well-known
comedian, who is now quietly enjoying the
seclusion of his beautiful country residence
in Baltimore county, talks of starting on
professional tour of the world next spring,
to last two years, which will conclude his
public life. This trip commencing with
the Pacific slope, will take in Australia in
June, July and August, which, being the
winter season in that section, is the period
for amusements; then India, England and
the European continent.
A hard "yarn' comes from Middletown,
Del. 1t is said farmer in that neigh
borhood having placed pail of milk
in spring of water to cool over night,
went there the next morning, and found, it
ia solemnly asserted, instead of the pail Of
milk, large bull frog sitting in contem-
plative mood upon roll Of fresh butter.
The sole explanation is that the frog had
jumped from the water into the pail, and
In trying to extricate himself had, by dill
igent and continuous stroke Of his legs
churned the milk into butter.

WHERE DID THE LIGHTNING Go P
The Warrenton, Va, Clipper, says On
last Monday, out at the plantation of
Judge Fitzpatrick, negro man during a
thunder storm was standing under tree.
The lightning struck the tree above him,
and skipping downward struck him in the
mouth. The lips outside were uninjured;
inside they were much torn. Four teeth
were solidly blocked out, bone and all,
from the lower jaw, and three more were
rent out from the upper jaw. No other
injury was done. He was up and walking
about soon after the occurrence, and the
indications are that he will get well.
What direction the electric current took
after striking the negro no one can dis

IN MEMORIAM.

In the death of Mrs. NJ. Emile, the es-
teemed wife of James Fl. Steele, ESQ.,, the
family and an extended circle of friends have
sustained severe loss. All that kind affec-
ton and skill could devise to stay the hand
of the destroyer was resorted to, but fell mon
ster claimed her as his own, after a painful
and lingering illness. She needs no eulogium,
save to say that those who knew her best
loved her most. Her life was purified by af-
fiction and sanctifed by an abiding faith in a
kind Saviour, beautifully expressed by Israeli s
sweet singer when be sang, Though walk
through the valley of the shadow of death
shall fear no evil Thy rod and staff they
comfort me" The sad event occurred on
the 2lst inst. On Monday, the oath instant,
the remains were placed in reserved car,
attended by large number of stricken friends
and taken to Mt. Calvary P. E. Church, Bal
timore, where the solemn and impressive rites
of the Episcopal Church we're held, and from
thence to Mount 0livet Cemetery, where the
burial service was concluded and the remains
committed to their final resting place, by the
side of an honored and devoted mother, in
the full and glorious hope Of christian res.

The editor of the Marlborough Gazette,
gives an interesting sketch of the workings
of the House of Reformation, at Chelten-
ham, in Prince Georges county. This In
stitution was established a few years ago
for the reformation and education Of color
ed boys, and is under the management of
General Horn, gentleman who has prov
en- eminently fitted for the responsible
position. The editor gives description of
the building and its several departments,
and we regret having only room for the
following extract
Everything is conducted with the
greatest method and system, and the time
divided SO judiciously that each hour brings
its appointed duty. One-half the boys at
tend school in the morning, while the 9th
er half work on the farm, or at the various
tasks assigned them. In the evening the
order is reversed, and the laborers 60 to
school and the scholars take their place
in the field.
Every one committed to the institution
is under its control until he is twenty lone
years of age. 1t is a rule to release none
under one year, and it is desirable that all
should remain three years to form habits,
and those discharged can be returned by
their employers for misconduct. No in
mate is received unless in good health and
a proper subject for reformation and in
struction. Though the boys are on an
open farm comparatively few have attempt
ed to escape, and most of those who sue
ceeded were shortly returned. The insti-
tuition is not prison but manual labor
school, imparting useful knowledge to meet
the wants and necessities of life"
On the day of the editors visit, there
was only one sick occupant of the hospital.
The farm comprises 45O acres, and is be-
ing brought into high state Of cultiva-
ton. There is thrifty young peach or
chard of 1900 trees.

A fraction of the Socialists of New York
celebrated the anniversary of the French
revolution of 1849 on Monday night, but
the speeches and resolutions give no clear
idea of what they meant by the celebration.
The Governing Body" of the Socialistic
Labor Party, not being able to govern the
members, repudiated the meeting. The
curious feature of the resolutions adopted
was that two-thirds Of them protested
against abuses which are fast disappearing
from Europe and never had a foot hold in
this country. 1t is scarcely necessary in
this country to demand free cducs ton, as
we have that-or to protest against a
heavy standing army aud union of Church
and Stakeholder of which exists here

make any headway in the United States

have lived here long enough to learn the
difference between the social and political

This will no doubt be great disappoint-

Carroll county was willing to pay fol, the
bridge to the centre of the stream, and no
more, as it is of far more advantage to the
people of Frederick than to this county. On
the Frederick side there is a considerable fiat
which would necessitate Frederick expending
more money. The fact of the matter is, we
don't think that the Frederick County Com

For several years she has given signs that her young

flower and bright and sweet in disposition it gave
bitter pangs to those who knew and loved her to see
that she was doomed. Gradually the destroyer did
its fatal work. less elastic became her STEP brighter

a stricken at the root, she Withered and died

came. She welcomed the white-winged messenger
as friend that would bear her to fairer and better

HANOVER 1873 YEARS AGo.-Hanover, Pa,
formerly called McAlistertown, was founded
in the year 1875, by wealthy farmer, named
Richard McAlister, who, it is said, travelled
through the place few years before, which
was then an entire forest, inhabited by sew
eral Indian families and number of wild
animals. The GFst house in Hanover, into
which Mr.. McAlister moved his family, was
a wretched hovel, in no respect any better
than the few scattered huts of the Indians.
The above we clip from the Davidsburg
correspondent of the York Daily. Hanover
was founded in 1894 or 1765-about 80 years
later than the date above given. 1t was
founded by Richard McAlister, who came to
this neighborhood before 1749, although at
what precise date is unknown to us. The
''wretched howell which was the first house
in Hanover, was the comfortable two story
log tavern of Col. .McAlister, which is get
standing and bids fair to stand for years to
come.-Hanouer Herald.
