! Aerial Navigation.

The science of Aerial Navigation has for
many years perpleXed tho minds OF aerona-
uts, not scientific mon, but this pcrplcXity
need not bc Of long duration. A little re-
Election upon the principles which should
govern the form of the vessel to be used,
and the density OF the atmosphere, would
be sufficient TO show its absurdity. When
wo consider the velocity which aerial navi-
CATION must attain, we can find no better
illustration than the fish. Look ut tho vel
oCity of tho bird Now, may ask why
does not tho fish SWIM faster than the bird
can fly2 Because of the greater density Of
the fluid in which the fish lives. Then what
is tic difference between the density of air
and watorf Air weighs 3l-lOO grains to
the cubic inch. This is shown by the bar
ometer, ut 80 inches, and the thermometer
at 60 deg. Fahrenheit. Tho difference
between the density Of these two bodies is
over POI grains. Now, suppose the fish
can swim eight miles an hour in tho water,
which becomes a resisting force to his fins,
then how fast must it fly If 1t were placed
In tho atmosphere to make tho air resisting
power2 Just the difference of the density.
of air and water multiplied by 8, the dis
tance the fish would swim in al hour in
water. This would give tho speed of the
fish in It's aerial flight at zoos miles per
hour. This is a mathematical dcnlonstra-
ton which aerial navigation must approach
before 1t can he mad" practical TO overcome
any current In the upper sea. If the vessel
has not tho power TO sail by the compass
and chart, Of what use wound be the slip;
She must stem tho tide. This calculation
is based ut the surface of tho earth, hut
when we ascoud 1900 feet we. find the
density Of thu atmosphere but oncrhalf tho
density Of tho surface. Then the speed Of
the ship would have 70 be increased to about-
1000 miles per hour. But aerial navigation
need not be. over 8,000,to 10000 feet above
the SURFACE Of tho earth, which, would only
increase tie speed to about three, thoiisand
miles per hour How ,c0uld, human life bc

vessel somewhat In the form Of q fish, and

Tho Stitch In Tinio.

The old saving that stitch in time saves
nine colds good not only in matters of tho
needle, but in all the concerns of life. 1t
is the stitch in time, the retrenchment In
season, that staves off the mortgage Of the
family estate, that prevents Mr.. Spendthrift
from being obliged to ask a compromise Of
his creditors, that enables one to place tri-
tie In tho bank against a rainy day. The
seasonahle attention stops the leak in the
roof that iwluld sooner or later make tho
home untenantable, and treble tho cxponsc,
adjusts tho, toppling gate that would pre-
scntly drop of its hinges, repairs the broken
fence that would let the COWS into the corn
field, destroys the caterpillars' eggs which
would hatch by-and-by, and ravagc the
fruit crop, pots tho bulbs before the frost
kills them, waters the ornamental shrubs
before the drought withers them, settles
bills before interest swells thom, and taxes
before before they eat up the property,
mends the chimney before it burns down
tho house, and the highway before there o. Q
damages to pay, and puts in the coal before
1t rises in proport:o :on to the falling of quick
silver. Some Of us, to be sure, find 1t bo-
yond our power to take the stitch in timo
that shall save us cost and troublc;' we are
delayed about repairing tho roof, for want
of material, till she dampncss cracks the
plaster, and peels of the wall paper, and
gives us bronchitis; we would take such
pleasure in settling our bills before the in
tcrest doubles them ,af only lie who owns
them knows; we realize the necessity of a
stitch in time in our affairs, but have no
thread and needle, 30 to speak; or we fancy
that We will attend to them tomorrow, or
noItr week, or after ,wo have gotten through
with the, work in hand, and then, they are
perhaps beyond mending. Sometimes 1t Is
our, friendships that show a break; when a
woad spoken a season, how. good 1t is7
What tears and regrets 1t saves us IT. An

"KlSs aIo Too"

In the paint shop of the Michigan State
Prison, is man called jim, doing life sen
.tence: Up to last spring he was regarded
as desperate, dangerous man, ready for
rebellion at any hour. He planned general
outbreak and was "givcn away by one of
the conspirators. lie plotted general
mutiny or rebellion, and was again betrayed
IIc then kept his own counsel, and while
never refusing to obey orders, he obcycd
them like man who only needed backing
to make him refuse. One day in Juno a
party Of strangers came to visit tho ins,itu-
ton. One was an old gentleman, the others
ladies, and two of the ladies had small
children. The guide took one of the child
rem on his arm, and tho other walked until
the party began climbing stairs. Jim was
working near by, sulky and morosc as ever,
when the guide ss;d:
'Jim, won't you help this little girl up
stairs?"
The convict hcsitated, a scowl on his
face, and the little girl hold out her hands
to him and said:
eff you will guess I'll kiss your
His scowl banishcd iii an instant, and lie
lifted the child rs tenderly rs :. father.
Half way up the stairs she kissed him. at
the head of the stairs she said: s
~. Now you've got to kiss me, tool"
lie blushed like woman, looked INTO
her innocent face and then kissed her check,
and before he reached the foot of tic stairs
again he had tears in his eyes. Ever since
that day he has been changed man, and
no one in the place gives less trouble
Maybe in his faraway Western home he has
a little Katie of his own. No one knows
for he never reveals his inner life, but tho
change 50 quickly wrought by child
proves that he has heart and gives hope
that hc may forsake his evil ways.

who was afflicted with cat.rrh, having
heard of the wonderful cures performed
by Prof. Paine's Catarrh Vapor, thought
he would try the effects of vapor from an

and was drowned. 1t would have been
cheaper to have bought the genuine Ca

GIVE THIN A HEARING.

In view of the valuable q? SER
vices rendered the State by the
recent legislature, every Parish
in the State should hold a mass
meeting for the purpose of CIV
ing their Representatives an
opportunity for laying before
their constituents a summary
of the work accomplished; and
also an illustration Of the man
ner in which said work was &C
complished.
It would no doubt, in some
sections, be interesting to the
people to know with what soil
citude Howard and his "strikers"
kindly took by the hand the I'M
sophisticated country member
and showed him the sights OF
the city so grand; and how, at
the festal board Of some back
street restaurant, a free lecture
on morality was rendered, WV
idly portraying the pernicious
effects natural to the adoption
of a general lottery bill. Many
could edify their listeners with
a history of the proverbial gen
crosby Of the good men, who,
after the fashion of ancient
kings, required their guests to
take away a memento OF the
feast. It would not be necessa-
ry to particularize that the me-
mento was usually q promise OF
Uncle Sam to settle his debts
soon.
They could also explain the
imminent peril of the passage 81
the courageous lottery BILL"
thirty days before adjournment;
but that happily for the people,
a State treasury unused to such
a burden) was relieved of the
weight Of an additional $780,
600. Would it be superfuous to
remark this great E'immorality"
| Was averted only through the
exertions of Howard and the
! persuasive influence of his She
kels? And why not remind the
people that, through ''patriot-
ism" alone, Howard forced the
Packard party into obscrrity
and raised the Nichols govern
ment into power" that How
ards money makes him strong;
and also, that, in these days,
the side Of right is that of the
| mighty, no MATTER how corrupt
They could explain how men
at the head Of the government:
descended to the plane Of loby-
lists and hung DER the Assembly
like a night-mare-for what
To see that justice be done the
State, of course! Is it presum-
ed they were there in the inter

The Rev. NJ. R. Miller, D. D., Of Louis

byterian Church last Wednesday evening
Subject: "Man." The lecture was in
genious and unique in character, being in
the poetic form aud rythmical. He began
with description OF the blood and its
functions. Next came the nervous sys.

nerves, weaving into poetic rythm and
cadence such names Us oculo motor hypo-
glossal, pneumogastric, glossopharyngeal,
ETC., etc. No medical student ever ielt
poetic inspiration here, and though his
eve NAV have been at times in "a hne
frenzy rolling" the frenzy was not OF q
melodious or celestial type. Then tol.
lowed description OF the mind and soul,
linking the creature with the Creator,
blending mans spirit with the infinite.
He closed by using the right.angled
triangle TO illustrate the plan OF salvation.
The audience was attentive and pleased,
but somewhat puzzled over tho cranlal
region. The lecture has certainly cost the
author much thought and investigation.
