French flying Machine.
New York Herald.l

Once more the problem OF aerial navi-
the new machine by which travelling
through the air is to be guided may be
seen working-in theory--at house in
the Avenue Wagram, Paris. The in
ventors OF the new apparatus are two
Frenchmen, who have, as usual, expend-
ed large part Of their lives in elaborat-
ing the contrivance, and are as conf.
dent Of success as any of their predeces-
sors iu the same field. Tide System OF
locomotion" they have adopted is bor-
rowed, not from tie birds nor from the
bats, but from the insect world. It op-
crates by setting in motion o set Of
rotary wings, something like those that
are used to raise the little imitation
butterflies commonly sold at bazaars and
fancy fairs, or as childrens toys. The
principle Of their action is that Of scat
tering the air and so creating vacuum
into which the air behind rushes, carry
ing with it any solid body which may be
floating within it. The apparatus is
described as consisting Of a iong-shaped
spheroidal balloon, measuring about
twelve feet from end to end, and three
feet In diameter. At each end is arranged
projecting axis, having arms like a
windmill, with small oars fixed to them
as sails. When one Of them ia set in
motion the whole machine moves forward
In the direction OF the axis SO working,
and continues to do SO as long as the
sails revolve. By stopping these sails
and those at the end, o contrary move
ment is impaired. and so also with an
other similar apparatus affixed to the
lower side OF the balloon, aud intended
to make 1t descend toward the ground.
There is also an arrangement Of screcns
on the side Of the several sets ofsails. by
raising ona of which the course can be
made to deviate to the right or the left.

Joaquin Miller Tells How Washing
ton Founded Il.


Let us consider how hard and persist.
emily the Father OF his Country toiled TO
establish this city here, and then l think
YOU will conclude with me that we ought
to be very tenacious on this point. For
this city was Washington's chiefest work.
This city is MS real monument. In the
yastness OF his plans here l read his
boundless faith in the country he had
helped to found First, then, let us see
what he had to dowith the location of
the capital. Congress hal struggled in
vain with the problem. The session OF
1890 ended by passing an Act which
gave the location Of the Federal city alb
solutely and entirely to the President.
Ainsworth K. Sponord, the best author.
ty in the world, in an address delivered
years ago before the Baltimore Histor-
ical Society, says: Congress gave to
the President Of the United States sole
power to select any site on the river Po-
tomac between the mouth of the Ana
costa and the mouth of the Conoco-
eheogue. 1t was in the power
of Washington to have founded the na.
tional capital at Harper's Ferry"
Having established his capital-with
what precision of taste and Judgment
time has testified-the next thing was to
lay it ont and build it. But there was
no money, aud Washington went in per.
son to Richmond. appealed to Governor
Randolph, and finally procured sl20, 600
from Virginia. To the Legislature #
Virginia be wrote; "a State where the
most anxious solciiude is felt for the
prosperity of that city which is to be the
permanent seat Of Government must be
generous" etc. Aud so Maryland con-
tributed altogether $4,000. largely
induced by the persistant personal effort
Of General Washington.
On the 18th Of April, 1871, the Com
missioners laid The corner stones of the
District, or Territory, as it was then
called, and on the Recommendation Of
Washington, Major L Enfant was chosen
to survey, under his direction, the site
selected. - Boston Globe.

Invisible Wire.
tscientiac Prass.I

Platinum wire has been drawn so fine
by ii. j.. Read, of Brooklyn, as to be
invisible to the naked eye, although its
presence upon q perfectly white card
could be detected by tho touch and could
be seen with the aid Of small magnify
ing glass when the card was held in snch
n position that the wire would cast a
shadow. A small platinum wire, about
No. is, was inclosed in a close-fitting
tube OF silver. Tho tube was made by
taking long and narrow sheet of silver,
about one twentieth Of an inch thick,
folding it over into cylinder aud draw
ing II down until the wire would Just fit
in it. This was then drawn down until
the tube containing the wire was only
as large as tho original wire. A short
length Of this was cut off and encased ia
a second tube Of silver, which was drawn
down in the same way. This operation
was repeated until the platinum wire had
been reduced sufficiently in diameter.
The last wire was drawn as tine rs the
dies would permit. when the silver coat
ing was removed by an acid. During
the work il was necessary occasionally
TO anneal tho wire. The resulting wire
was in short lengths and had no strength.
1t was designed to be used for tho cross
wires in telescopes, its perfect opaque
ness and iineness rendering 1t particu-
larly applicable. but its extreme weak.
ness made its handling almost an im pos
sibility.

Anfnsl lntellisenoe.

A gentleman from Calcutta writes to
Nature: Se,eral remarkable instances OF
inteIlieenc,in in animals have been given
in recent rumbers Of Nature. Possibly
the following instance Of reasoning power
in an elephant may not be without in
tersst: Some years ago was ascending
the lower part Of the Darjeeling Hill
Road In the Himalaya mountains from
Terai. At a certain part Of the road,
where we met string of bullock carts,
the outer few feet were encumbered by
q long, Hat-toyped heap OF boulders.
piled there to lbe broken up for road
metal; from tie outer edge there was 0
steep, almost precipitous slope. On inc
inner side Of the road was small drain,
and then few feet Of comparatively ievel
ground between the drain and the slope
above. The carts just mentioned were
Of the anal kind, the body CONSTRUCTED
OF bamboo) about twelve feet long ana
three and one-half feet broad, with the
wheels near the middle, each cart being
drawn BY o pair Of bulloeks. The niahout
(driyer) Of the elephant l was riding
having halted the animal close up to the
heap Of boulders, there was just enough
room, left between the elephant and the
drain for the carts to pass. These carts
were the ordinary vehicles Of the coun-
try. and under ordinary circumstances
an elephant would no more think Of
ssshying" at them than London dray
horse would think of shying at cab.
Yet as the carts went by one by one my
elephant became more and more uneasy,
and finally, in spite Of the efforts of the
driver TO restrain her. mounted on the
heap OF boulders at the risk (which, con-
sidering how cautious elephants are in
treading on suspicious ground, believe
she must have seen quite as clearly as
the driver or II Of rolling down the
slope below the road if the rounded
boulders shifted and gave way beneath
her weight. 1t was some time before l
perceived the cause of her fear. Ele-
plants, even in India, are uncommon,
and bullocks, as well as other domestic
animals, generally feel considerable dread
OF them from their unusual appearance
as well as their size. The bullocks in
question were greatly frightened ut hav-
ing to pass SO closely to the bulky brute,
and several Of them in passing tried to
get away from her by jumping the drain.
1t required all the efforts OF the drivers
to prevent their doing it. The elephant
evidently saw that the bullocks were
frightened and that they were trying to
jump the drain, and she further calcu-
lated that If they did so the long tail Of
the cart would swing sharply around in
the opposite direction and strike hei
violently across the fore legs. OF the
two risks, she preferred that Of mounting
on the heap Of bonlders.

A London dispatch OF April oath says.
Matthew Arnold, in a conversation
about his American tour, referring to the

criticism were preposterous: SIT is true
