AERIAL NAVIGATION.
A Problem Easily soIved-CapitaI Only
Needed.

Needed.
A correspondent OF the washington
Star writes from Elizabeth City, Va, as
follows: There is no insurmountable me-
chanical difficulty about aerial naviga-
ton after the idea of balloons is dis
carded.
Pure hydrogen is nearly fifteen times
lighter than air, but taking hydrogen at
nine times lighter than air, one cubic
foot will lift an ounce, and buOyancy in
creases as the axis of the vessel contain
ing it. A proper vessel of copper, one
fourth pound to the square foot, weigh
ing twenty-seVen and half tons, would
carry or lift over forty tons. A double
eleVen-fOot propeller, at 800 revolutions
per minute, would drive such vessel
nearly 100 miles an hour. This 800 reVO-
luti0ns appears rapid compared to the
90 or 90 revolutions of steamer, but isn't
very fast compared to the 1000 or
5000 revolutions of buzz saw. Nor is
the resistance of air TO be compared to
that of water. Some arrangement for a
motor, such as the Faure-Sellons-VOlk
mar accumulatOrs, supplied by a Sic
mans dynamo machine, would furnish
all necessary power. One twO-pOUnd cell
would give ten-hOrse power tor twenty
minutes, and a few tons of such cells
would suffice for crossing the Atlantic. 1
would give you measurements, ETC.. in
detail, with deductions. to make such
things interesting, but even after seeing
the development of steam and electricity,
most people consider anybody who talks
about Prial navigation as mad. They
have heard of seamanship, but won't hear
of airmanship. My preeent impression is
that paper would prove lighter, stronger
and better material than copper, but ]
have not tried the figures on it, but
enough, when you have occasion again to
refer to the subject, please say that one
who knows informs you that the success
Of 9rial navigation is not question Of
time, much less ofmechanics, but Of capt.
tal-capital alone.
To succeed, il is necessary to build
large vessel, for It is not possible to build
a working model Of small vessel which
will contain enough hydrogen to float her.
self and cargo. Such boat must float in
the air-run up or run down as needed,
only using ballast to replace cargo taken
off or shipped, the weight carried being
equal TO the lifting power Of the gas, or
nearly so. A double Tudder-hOrrizOnta
as well as vertical-wOuld be required
and would answer its purpose.

sible rains, in the shape of rolls Of oiled
paper stacked up in all directions. This
paper is IN sheets about feet in width
and Is feet long, prepared to withstand
rain by dipping 1t in boiled OIL. Two car

hauIeQ 10 Ihe packing-hOuse, where they
are plled from floor to ceiling in the large
'front.' room. They are left here some ten
days, and passed through a sweating pro-
cess, the object being to equalize the
moisture contained in them. When
paced IN boxes some are much drier than
others, but when ready for the packer the
intention is to make them, as nearly as
possible, equal and uniform in that re-
gard. -Four layers are placed in a box,
and each layer is weighed by the pscker,
ana the whole must make exactly the 20
pounds required. When a box is filed the
packer takes 1t to the scales near the
door, presided over by an expert in the
business, who carefully weighs and eX-
amlnes 1t, and II all right it is carried to
the next room, where it is nailed up and
the corners smOOthed off,, and il is ready
for shipment. Particular care is eXer-
cised in grading and weighing. About
l25 men are employed in and about the
packing house, and "a steady stream of
boNes"ls kept going around the circle.
We were informed that about 1900 boxes
day were being turned out, or three car
loads every two days.
The most Of the packers are Cinnamon,
and as usual they soon become very ex-
pert at the business. putting up from 10
TO Il boxes a day. White men fill all the
responsible stations, it evidently being
considered necessary 10 keep close and
ylgIlant watch over the "heathen" to keep
him from resorting to ''ways that are
dark" Occasionally q box goes back to
the packer and is upset on his table as a
gentle reminder that frst-class work must
be done all the time
The box lids are branded by powerful
cylinder press run by horse power, and it
Is rather amusing to a printer to watch
the mOdus operandi of this coarse
grained printing. Checks are used in
every department, packer receiving
check for each box delivered at the
scales. The whole business seems to be
systematized thoroughly and moves along
like clOckwork. The work promises to
last until Christmas or New Years be-
fore the whole crop is disposed of, but the
favorable weather which the ralsin-mak-
eFs have been blessed with will facilitate
their operations, and If it continues Tor
another month they will have the most of
the work done.

A DETECTIVES "REMINISCENCES
More Truth Than Poetry in the Belief
That Murderers Cannot Sleep.
From n NelD York Letter.

One Of the most experienced members
of the detective force Of New York was
talking a day or two ago about murderers.
"The old superstition" he said, "about
murderers being unable TO sleep in the
night has more truth in it than people may
imagine. With out-and-out murderers
the ability to sleep comes. strangely
enough, as soon as they have been tried
and found guilty.

the morning. My room was the fourth
| story back Of a house in Henry street. and
| noticed that the lights were always

dow in the back OF the house on the next
! street. At daylight the gas was turned
out and the shade raised. This went on
for a long time, until the summer months
came. By this time | had grown in the
habit of watching the window carefully.
The programme WAS never varied until
the hot weather set in. Then the light
went out with the same regularity as soon
as dawn appeared. A woman slept in the
room, and after she had turned out the
gas always raised the shade and opened
both the upper and lower sash. She al
ways looked heayy-eyed, and after day
light had got thoroughly into the room
she would throw herself on the bed and
fall asleep in an instant, as though from
sheer exhaustion. That's the way |
