length as the cylinder There ishO
rudder, Professor Ritchel having
found that at present it is impossible
to steer an air ship with any degree
of accuracy and certainty. Under
the floor or network Is a series Of
canvas shutters lapping one over the
other when closed, thus making a
permanent air-resisting floor. This
embOdies one Of the principal feat
ures Of the invention. He says the
tendency Of a balloon when in mid
air is to move up or down with in
creasing velocity. These movements
have been checked hitherto by
throwing out ballast or letting out
gas. Prof Ritchel proposes to reme-
dy this by means of the floor shut
ters and a canvas screw propeller
rugged below the floor and geared to
levers, which may be driven by men
in the basket above. The propeller
worked in one way tends to push the
air ship upward, and when reversed
draws it toward the earth again.
When an ascent is made the shut
tiers are opened, as to make no re-
sistance to the air as the machine
rises upward, and, if necessary, the
screw propeller is worked to aid in
tanning the machine toward the
clouds After the desired altitude
Is reached the screw is stopped, the |
shutters are closed, and the voyage |
begins. In descending the shutters
are opened, the propeller is reversed,
and the ship, it is claimed, can be |
driven to the ground at any time |
without losing particle of gas. In
this way, Prof. Ritchel says, IL be-
comes possible for aeronauts to take
long voyages, thing hitherto con-
sidered impracticable, owing to the
of gas. The floor shutters
when closed tend to promote steadi-
ness of movement. The inventor is
going to Europe with his air ship to
put it on exhibition before various
officers there.-N y

The Names of Fabrics.

A recent authority gives the fol-
lowing as the origin of the names Of
the more common fabrics: Dlmask
is from the city of Damascus; satins
from Zaytown in China; calico from
Calicut, a town in India, formerly
celebrated for its cotton cloth, and
where calico was also printed; muslin
is named from MOsul, in Asia; alpaca
from an animal of Peru Of the llama
species, from whose wool the fabric
is woven; buckram takes its name
from BOchara; fustian from Fastal,
Il city of the Middle Ages, from which
the modern Cairo is descended; taf-
feta and tabby from a street in Bag
dad /; cambric from Cambria; gauze
has its name from GAIA; baize from
Bajoc; dimity from Damietta, and
jeans from Jean. Drugget is derived
from a city in Ireland, DrOgheda.
Duck comes from Torque, in Nor
mandy. Blanket is called after ThOs.
Blanket, a famous clOthier connected
with the introduction of woOlens into
England about 1910. Serge derives
its name from Nerga, a Spanish name
for a peculiar wooden blanket. Diaper
is not from dYpres, as is sometimes
said, but from the Greek diasprou,
figured. Velvet from the italian vel
lutte, woolly. Shawl is from the San
scrit sala, floor, for shawls were first
used for carpets and tapestrys Ban
dana is from an Indian word, mean
ing to bind or tie, because they were
tied in knots before dyeing. Chintz
comes from the Hindoo. Delaine is
the French for wool.

Navigating the Air.

Professor Charles II. Ritchel Of
Bridgeport has completed his con-
trivance for navigating the air. The
new air ship can be made to rise or
fall, as desired, without throwing
out ballast or losing gas, as in the
older patterns, and it will always
float right side up. Professor Ritch-
el, though young man, had much
TO do with balooning. The machine
is cylindrical in form and square at
tie ends. To the great cylinder,
which is to float in a horizontal po-
sition, is attached the framework Of
the II j inc, the floor being Of net
ting six feet wide and Of the same

The figures and facts obtained by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat from the governors
OF Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Tex
as, make very gratifying exhibit of South
ern progress. Taking the figures of the last
census as the basis of comparison, covering
the year 1879, it appears that these eight
States have added $494, 836, 1893 to their tax
able property in the four years, and reduced
the average rate of taxation two-thirds of
per cent. The railroad mileage has been
increased over 5000 miles in the same time,
and the value of raw products shows an in
crease of $1,000 900. The returns of man
ufactures are not complete, but they make
remarkable showing The Governor OF Al
ALBANIA reports that the twenty cotton mills
in that State are paying average dividends
OF 10 per cent. year; that the iron product
has increased threefold in three years, and
that the coal yield has increased in ten years
from 10000 to 100000 tons. Texas con-
tinues her wonderful development The
annual increase of assessments is from $780,
100000 to 500, O0O, 900, and an extra session
OF the Legislature is necessary to cut down
the tax rate, which is now only three mills
on 81.

Frank James tells an interviewer that the
people of Missouri were in sympathy with
him and that his counsel outranked those of
the prosecution, and to these two things he
attributes his aequittal. 1t is consoling to
know that James has forgotten all his war
feeling and does not now care for either one
side or the other, and that all he wants is to
be left to live In peace.

There is nothing authentic to show that
France and China have arrived at any agree
ment respecting Anpam. The Figaro's
statement that China was willing to aban-
don everything but nominal suzerainty
over AMMAN was improbable on its face and
is promptly denied. The only fact which is
clear is that China is anxious to avoid war
and is willing to negotiate to that end.

According to statistics prepared by the

shows the lowest death rate lie Dayton, Ohio,
it having been for several years but Is in

death rate for the country is a trife above
Is, but in the large cities the average is
much higher. The cities of the highest
death rate are New Orleans and Memphis,
their average being ~ to every 1000 of pop
ulation. New York comes next, with
death rate of 20 to each 1000, Brooklyn and
Boston return % per 1000 each, st. Louis
20, Cincinnati and Atlanta each IS, Chicago

that of other countries, the death rate in

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1l.-After digging and
scraping for eight days and nights in the
smOuldering heap of ruins of the DremaD
rag warehouse, which was burned on Mon
day, September 8, the workmen to-day
found the lost seven of the nine bodies Of
those who perished in that furnace of FIRE.
All these eight days crowds of people
thronged that scene and gazed upon the
ruins. Last Saturday night the remains OF
were found last night and the seven to-day
and tonight, making nine, are believed to
be a1l.
The city undertaker's establishment on
Sixth street, where the remains of the vic
Tins were taken, was crowded this afternoon
by curious people and relatives of the vic
tins. The charred flesh and bones of the
poor girls were put in separate boxes and
placed side by side Ia the same room. 1t
was an affecting scene as brother, sister and
parent viewed what remained of the victims.
Maggie and Mary Lee, Bessie Grady, Rosa
O'Connors and Chris Hucherman, have
been identified to the satisfaction of friends.
OF three others, Mary Burke, Mary Lynch
and Jane Wheeler, there are no means of
Identification, and there are not likely to he
any. In all cases the bones were scattered
and the skulls were bare and severed from
tie bodies.
