WHY A Man Can't Fly.

No combination of wings, says
the London Engineer, will enable
him to fly until he can WELD them
with as much muscular power to
the pound Of weight as a bird exerts
In flying. If man had in his legs
the muscular energy and leverage
of a flea, he could jump a mile in
three leaps, and if his arms had in
proportion to his weight the driving
power of a wild pigeons wing, he
would have no use for railways and
balloons. The transportation power
would De solved. Moving himself
so easily and so swiftly. he would
not need to move anything else.
The albatross, weighing twenty
eight pounds, can keep its wings,
thirteen feet from tip to tip, in mo
ton all day, while the strongest
man, weighing six to eight times as
much, would exhaust all his strength
in keeping even an albatross's wings
in motion half an hour. 1--WE have

machine burning concentrated fuel
in a large CRATE at a tremendous
rate, and developing a very large
power on a small space. There is
no engine in existence, which,
weight for weight, gives out any
thing like the mechanical power
exhibited by the albatross." Conse-
quently, no machinery yet devised
can operate things with sufficient
power to sustain its own weight in
the air, and there is NO known
machinery by which a man can
WELD the force necessary to fly like
a bird. Keely's alleged discovery,
or some new process of storing and
exerting great electric power in ap-
paratus OF light weight, might sup
ply the deficiency, but science has
not learned how to develop in in
animate machinery anything like
the mighty nervous energy which
acts in the bones, sineWs and mus
cles Of living birds wing.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-05-17
MEMPHIS APPEAL


Memphis has just concluded a noble un-
dertsking, one that hss drawn all eyes upon
her and has attracted visitors in large mum.
bers from wide district OF country. The
occasion has been signally successful, and
now for while the voice Of music ia mute,
and the silent hall where angelic strains
have sounded ia closed. This all being done,
Memphis must now turn serious and deter
mined attention to the subject Of the great
Nash public library. Mr.. Essh's noble
offer can neither be refused nor slighted.
Memphis, whose progress and refinement has
just been 30 signally demonstrated, cannot
afford to write itself down-ignoramus
That is what il must do if the effort now
making should be unsuccessful. We
desire earnestly 10 call the attention
Of every reader of the APPEAL to the
fact, and let it be stamped deep in mind and
memory, that the question before the city is
not whether it shall or shall not have a
library, but shall or shall not Memphis
refuse library that is offered it 10 free
gift? Can Memphis afford to stand before
the world with the statement-our city has
no library, and when one was offered il, re-
fused TO accept the gift! That is too dark 4
record to stand against US before God and
man. If We care nothing for knowledge
ourselves we have children that we owe a
duty to. We do not want them to be con-
spicuous for ignorance in the full light Of
the nineteenth century. Such, thank heaven,
is at least the feeling among the ladies of
Memphis. They know it is a reproach
upon Memphis that it has no public libra
~. They know that their children, to take
that place in society which they hope for
them, must not only have manners
bat cultivation aud intelligence, ard that
they cannot have without that aCqosint-
ancs with books that fts a mao for COM
merce with all ranks, and for an honorable
discharge of the duties OF life. The ladies
are about to appeal to the citizens to raise
the $4,000 that is wanted to put up the
building which will contain Nash's $4,000
worth of books. The books are a free gift,
the fine lot of ground at the corner of Third
and Jefferson streets has been presented by
the Congress Of the United States, and now
all that is wanted is the building, and this
the ladies intend to have, "and when she
will, abe will, you may depend on It." We
urge our citizens from every motive that is
good, from self-respect, from regard for the
fair fame OF the city in which they dwell,
from reverence for knowledge and human
progress, for the sake OF their sons and daugh-
tiers, and from Difference and regard for
the dear ladies who have 80 nobly
assumed the tack they 50 fervently
appeal 10 you to aid them successfully to
perform-for all these considerations Tighten
the ladies' toll by your libsrality and hearty
cooperation. Look upon their bright eyes,
yield to The influence of their kind smile,
watch the earnestnsss of their beaming faces,
listen TO the low, sweet pleading of their lips
and say them no, If you can.

Arthur
VIII Yet Throw His Strength Into the
Scale for a Western Candidate.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Said very prom
inent Illinois politician to-day, speaking OF
the probable failure of that State to receive
the Commissionership of Internal Revenue:
at would not have made any matter If both
senators had Joined in an Garnet recommeu-
dation at the star;. Ii was not in the books
that Illinois should have the place, and it is
not in the books that John Logan shall have
much more influence with President Arthur.
The trouble is, that Arthur ia now certainly
a candidate for the presidency. There is 70
longer any doubt about it. / don't think any
thing about il; know it. L know it by
everything that a person can do to
indicate his purposes. President Arthur
He possibly might deny it, but he is a
candidate, and he is trying to make a good
administr alton with that end in view. He is
not doing everything that the politicians
want him to do, and he is doing a great
many things that they do not want him to
do. He is not going to do anything to build
up Logan in Illinois, or Harrison in Indiana,
or any OF the other numerous rival Western
candidates in their own States See what he
has Just done TO Harrison. He has not only
taken an Indiana man for The Cabinet, with
out consulting with the Republican senator
from the State, but he took one Of the most
pronounce opponents of Harrison inside the
party, Judge Gresham, and Arthur JIG now
insisting upon the honor OF having selected
Gresb am himself without outside suggestion,
aud all that Harrison knew about it was that
he was informed that the nomination was TO
be made, and practically requested the poor
privilege that notice OF it might be conveyed
to Judge Gresham through himself. Har-
rison was not even able to nominate Gres-
hams successor as district judge. The man
whom he advocated strsnu5usly, and stayed
days in Washington in his interest. was not
seriously considered, and the man whom
Judge Gresham alone suggested received the
place. tell you, Gen. Arthur is not going
to do anything for Western presidential can
didates, and Logan's candidate will not win.
The appointment Of a Commissioner of To-
ternal Revenue will go East"

least two feet above the pavement,
and the focr must be dry. Cellars must not
be used for sleeping or habituAl residence.
These provisions require some additions,
such as that the plans Of intended buildings
should be approved and preserved; regrla-
tions against improper encroachment upon
the streets when building is going on; re-
quiring the gates fronting on streets and
alleys 10 open inside, so as not BY swinging
open to obatrucL the street; TO require that
walls be not only Of incombusiible material,
but that the material be Of due strength and
properly keyed and attached together. In
stances may sometimes be seen OF walls tsll-
ing out from the insecure and sloyenly man
nsr in which the bricks are laid. The mortar
should be required 10 be good and in sufh-
Gent quantity. In recent case Of taking
buildings down scarcely brick was found 10
which the mortar adhered; there wzs TOO
much sand and too little lime. The great
want usually, in the case OF buildings, is the
enforcement Of the laws provisions. There
should be some suPeriDtendence that sees that
walls are Of the proper thickuesssnd roofs sale
from fire, and that proper arrangement is
made FOR the safety and convenience Of the
public passing on the sidewalk. We do not
ses why the building permit should be issued
b. one city officer and the oversight Of build
ings given to another. The permits should
be registered 60 that those who have the
oversight should know where any building
was going on, and he should have the means
to have them visited to see that the reqdire-
meuls of the law and the safety aud con-
veniepce OF the public receive due attention,
and to arrest those who violate the ordi-
nances governing the building or altering OF

THE FOLLY OF CARErULNEss

Nothing is more common to remark than
the quickness with which public calamities
are forgotten and the lessons they teach neg
lected. When terrible fire devours its
holocaust OF victims in some public place
filled with a large mass of human beings,
there is weeks talk about the necessity of
having the doors of all public structures
oper outward, of making the exits wide and
unobstructed, and so on, but the next similar
FIRE that comes shows that the we'll recog.
mixed faults still exist, and that life is again
sacrificed because grown-up human beings
have lost the wisdom gained in infancy, for
"the burned child breads the fire." but the
mature man diaregards it. This trait OF our
nature is usually regarded as faulty one,
what therefore, must We think Of a
public journal that actually desires
that provision against calamity should
be neglected. The New York BuHe-
tin does this, as follows: within a
few weeks, it would appear, representa-
tives of the State Boards Of Health of Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin have urged the Presi-
dent to put the money appropriated for the
suppression OF epidenIics at the disposal of
the National Board, and with this backing
they expect to he successful. What must
trouble them just now, however, is the fact
that the country is 20 di-tressingly healthy"
Here is the old AFksn4iau's excuse once
more: "Why should fix the house roof
now; it does not rain?" Why should we
attend 10 theaier and h il d lors and en-
frances now; the couat y nss baen Distress

over the country, Detroit stood firm. Not
knowing anything about the city's future
