QUITE serious collision occurred in
the English channel, by which the Pom
merania went down with quite loss of
life. 1t was at first stated that the col
lision occurred in fog, but it now ap-
pears that the fog was very light that it
was not deemed necessary to blow the
fog whistle. With this new development
it is almost impossible to account for the
collision. Some insist that the person
steering the Welsh vessel was color blind
and installing the lights, steered in the
wrong direction. Those persons who are
accustomed to the dangers of the deep
are apt to become negligent in their duty
and as a consequence disasters are much
more frequent than they would be with
the exercise of ordinary caution.

winter will be an unusually mild one,

that grave-digging through triple folds

vance of Jack Frost and prepared six
homes for as many persons who will join
the ranks of the silent majority before
the robins will sing their welcome to the

half the professional pride of his brother

One night last week a jolly old
German farmer rode to Chestnut

clan for his wife, who was very sick.
He dismounted from his horse in
front of a saloon just as the bows
inside had began to make merry
over the first keg of beer. He an.
preached and looked cautiously
around the scene. The foaming
glasses were held high above the
heads of the jewellers, as one of the
number pronounced a toast appro-
pirate to the occasion.
The silent watcher licked his
lips and wished his errand had been
one not requiring SO much dispatch.

laine watch set in gold with tur-
quoise diamonds and rubies; four
magnificent diamond and sapphire

total value of this fortune in Jewels

100 minute, which gives the fan
$500 revolutions. The silk cvlin.
der, 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 cen.
trail fan is expected to lift the rest
by pressure upon the air similar
to that which a propeller wheel has
upon the water. The air being
much less dense, the fan or aerial
screw is given rapidity of motion
sufficient to partially overcome this
difference. By reversing the mo-
ton Of the fan the power is so
exerted as to raise or lower the
machine at will. The fan at the
end Of the framework is also re.
volved with great rapidity by foot
power, and can be turned straight
ahead or on either side, working on
a plan similar to that of the Fowler
steering propeller. By the use of
this fan the machine can be steered
like a ship, and the inventor ex-
poets that aerial navigation will be
accomplished in the same manner
that the ocean is traversed by ships,

purpose Of a sail, and the fans guild.
ing the machine through the air.
Mr.. P. L. Barnum, who is inter.
eSted in the invention, was present
at yesterdays test. There was a
flaw in the steersge apparatus, by
which the fan was caught and
broken nevertheless the machine
raised as high as the ceiling, and
was lowered at the will of the ope-
rator. We are informed that the
machine was tested a day or two
ago IN the presence of an expert
from New York, and that it worked
perfectly, sailing about the room,
and all the time under the perfect
control of the operator. Mr.. Ritchel
has been working upon the inven-
tions since 1871, and is confident
he has found the much-sought-for
principle to be safely applied in
aerial navigation. He has applied
for patent in the United States,
Canada, Great Britain and France.
lie expects that larger machine,
capable of carrying several men,
would work even more successfully
than the small one now being tested.
as more power could be employed,
and he even has hopes of still
larger one, in which the motive
power will be furnished by a small
engine. He informs us that the
model Of his invention has been
shown to the editor of the Scientific
American, who said he believed it
might be made so successful that a
trip could be taken to the North
Pole in it. Mr.. Ritchel is a very
intelligent looking gentleman, ap.
parently about thirty-fve years of
age. He claims that all other in
ventors have failed with their fying
machines because they have trusted
entirely to the lifting capacity of
the balloon appendage, rising by
throwing out ballast and falling by
letting out gas. Another defect
has been the placing of the steering
apparatus in the center, where only
a comparatively small amount Of
power could be exercised.
