Ripening for Death.

NO one (says Won HUMIDITY can fear
death less than | do, neither am much
attached to life; but have never known
the ieellng OF an anxious longing for
ueath and although it be nobler one
IMAM that OF absolute weariness of cx-
istence, 1T is nevertheless blamable
Lie must hrst, for as long a period as
providence wills it, be enjoyed or suf-
iered-in one word, gone through, and
that with a full submission, without
mIurmuring, lamenting, or repining.
mere Is one important law of nature
Whlch we should never lose sight of
mean that of ripening for death
Death Is not break in existence. il il
but an intermediate circumstance q
transition from one form of orr final
existence to another. The moment of
maturity for death cannot be decided bv
any human wisdom or inward feeling.
and TO attempt to do so would be moth
ing better than the vain rashness of hu-
man pride. That decision can ONLY be
made by Him who can at once look back
through our whole course; and both
reason and duty require that we should
leave the hour to Him, and never rebel
against His DEGREES by single impatient
wish. lhe hrst and most important
thing is, to learn to master ourselves
and 10 throw ourselves with peaceful
confidence on Him who never changes
looking on every situation, whether
pleasant or otherwise, as a source from
which our interior existence and indi.
vldual character may draw increasing
strength; and hence springs that entire
submission which few attain to, al
though all fancy they feel it.

Navigation In the Air.

Mr.. G. +. Ritchel, of Cory, Conn, has
been perfecting flying machine on a
new plan In the Riverside Hotel, East
Bridgeport; the machine stands in the
hall nearly completed. IL consists of a
black silk cylinder twenty-four feeVpng
and twelve feet in diameter, holding
three thousand feet of gas, and a car
suspended from the silk cylinder by
cords and rods. This car is of slender
brass rods, and extends the whole length
OF the cylinder, tapering to point at
each end In the center is platform
upon which the occupant sits. In front
oil the seat are two cranks attached to a
wheel, which in turn is connected with
an upright shaft, at the lower end of
which is fan similar To the screw of a
propeller. This fan is about level with
the bottom of the platform, and is made
OF thin brass plates. At the front end
OF the long car is another brass fan.
which is so constructed that il can be
turned in any direction by the feet of
the occupant of the car, while the center
IAN is at the same time worked by his
hands.
A man of ordinary strength can re-
yolve the handles at the rate of one
hundred a minute, which gives the fan
tnlrty-hYe hundred revolutions. The
silk cylinder, filled with hydrogen gas,
which is the lightest that can be used. is
to sustain all but fraction of the weight
TO be carried, and the central fan is ex-
pected to lift the rest by "a pressure upon
the air similar to that which a propeller
wheel has upon the water. The air be-
ing much less dense, the fan or aerial
screw isgiven a rapidity of motion sufIi-
cient to partially overcome this differ
ence. BY reversing the motion of the
ian the power is so exerted as to raise or
lower the machine at will. The fan at
the end of the frame work is also re-
volyed with great rapidity by foot
power, and can be turned straight ahead
or on either side, working on plan sim
liar to that of the Fowler steering pro.
peller. by the use of this fan the
machine can be steered like ship, and
the inventor expects that aerial naviga-
ton will be accomplished in the same
manner that the ocean is traversed by
ships, the gas-filled cylinder serving the
purpose of sail, and the fans guiding
the machine through the air.
