ranging from forty to sixty miles, and is

A social philosopher advises people to
cultivate tire dance, the waltz included,
for the reason thft' as it penetrates the
remoter districts, the boislerous and vul
gar social games ut rural settlements"
disappear. Where there is no dancing
there are "string games" and whatever
these things may be, they are said to -e
quire the kissing ot all the women in The
company by the men. This rude and in.
delicate familiarity tlourishes under the
very eyes Of the revivnIists, in church

Ritchell's Flying Mac inc.
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS WITH A NEWLY
INVENTED AIR SHIP.
AN APPARATUS THAT CAN BE MADE TO
RISE OR SINK IN THE ATMOSPHERE
As THE OPERATOR WILLS.
[From the N. Y. Sun of June 10. ]

The first open-air exhibition of Prof.
{. F. Ritchel's flying machine was con-
Quoted at Hartford, Conn.,, on Wedncs.
day afternoon last. 1t went up to a
height of Iully two hundred and fifty
feet, past the spirc OF the Gait Memorial
Church, and sailed off until over the
Connecticut river, the operator mean
while exhibiting his power to change it's
altitude and direction at will. When he
assembled there was but little wind blow
ing, and the machine appeared TO be
under perfect control but gradually II
breeze sprang up and it was deemed
safest to make q speedy return, as there
were indications in the sky OF gather
ing storm. Tie machine turned and
uade its way back in the teeth OF the
wind until directly over the ball ground
whence it had assembled, and then alight-
ed within few feet of the point from
which it had started.
From this demonstration Of its capac :
ity it was generally conceived that it
could do much more than its modest
inventor claimed tor it. He never ex-
pcctcd to move against wind of any
strength, and has not had the attain
ment of that end in view in ite constrnc- :
ton, as may readily seen by glance at
Its proportions, hut he does claim
that it can be raisen and lowered at will
TO leave adverse currents and enter ia
yorablc ones; that it can he made to
tack 81 MS to effect little hendway even
against breeze, and that in a still at
mosphere it can be moved about as
readily aud perfectly at the will of the
operator MS II boat can be movcd upon
water. All tnat, and even little more
there is abundant evidence of its having
done on Wednesday.
. The inventor, Mr. Rtchell, is Maine
mar, but has, during several years past,
lived at Cory, Pa. The project oil Gun
stiucting a flying machine has been a
favorate subject for contemplation with
lin during nearly ten years past aud
for the last seven Of that time lac and his,
friend, Mr.. w. II. Lyman of Carry. Pa,
have incuba;ed this idea together. In
November, 1875, they went to Bridge
port, Conn, 10 put their plans into exc
culion, as they believed ;hey could there
obtain most readily just The peculiar ma
terials they required, and have them
Permanent Exhibition at PhilHlyphia
, 1878-07-13

Tho second exhibition was given
Thursday afternoon. The weather Was
far from favorable. The wind came in
quite sharp gusts, and there were threat
cnings OF II coming storm. Nevertheless
the ascent was made. Little Qunlan,
even if he does only weigh 0G pounds,
has confidence and nerve enough to
90 up in gale. Some time was spent
in getting the weight aud lifting power
so neatly balanced as to show that the
machine could exert II lifting power OF
its own. When this had been effected
to Pref. Rjtchcll's satisfaction, the ap.
paratus rested quietly ON the grass, but
could be lifted or set back with the light
pressure OF one finger. Then the word
was given to go" Quinlan began
turning the wheel, the horizontal fan
revOlvcd with noise like Il buzz saw,
and the machine dOrtcd up almost vert
lcally to the height Of abOat 200 feet.
There q strong, steady current of wind
setting toward the southwest was en-
countercd, and the machine was swept
away by it, hroadside on to tho specIa-
tors. Then the operator WAS seen throw.
ing his vertical ian into gear and by its
aid the aerial ship turned around, point
ing its head in whatever direction he
chose to give it. All this was the work
of but few seconds. Although Quin-
Ian could move the apparatus about, he
could not make any headway against
the strong wind. Reversing the motion
of his horizontal fan, he decended appar,
emily about one hIndred feet to get out
OF the current, but, finding that imprac-
ticablc, reascended to much greater
height than he at first reached. Still he
was swept off toward New Haven, and
after little time went out of sight. He
had vanished behind distant hill, and
for while it was supposed he had
alighted. Then he was again sighted,
far away and not less than one thousand
feet above the earth. The cylinder of
the machine looked no larger than an
orange. At length he disappeared al
together.
At Ct o'clock, having been up battle
ing with the wind very nearly an"..hour,
he descended safely at Newington, and
at 10 o'clock was back IN Hartford. He
said that at one time he was eight or ten
miles away from his starting point, but
by tacking and working between the
gusts of wind, won his way back as far
as Newington, only five miles from
Hartford. He says that the working of
the machine is so easy that he could
continue it for four consecutive hours
without fatigue, in quiet atmosphere
MIR. Lord, The, Superintendent Of the
Colt Arms Factory, has watched the cx-
periments with much interest, and his
opinion as practical scientist is of val
ne. He says that while he does not see
an immediate practical use in this flying
machine, he cannot but regard it as 81
great stepin progress s-one which should
be recognized as OF immense Importance
and encouragement for hope OF speedy
good results in the way of aerial travel.
