Fourth Of July orators indulge in flights
snrpassed only by the great American eagle
himself. Yet aerial navigation is dream
which is chronic in all civilized countries,
and if the wonderful machines constantly in
construction fail to work it certainly is not
FIR want of cranks. From the days OF
Simon Magnus, who lived in the time OF
Nero, and who incontinently broke bis neck
by irving to fly from one house to another

The latest and most prominent professor
of the art rejoices in the noble name OF
Julius Cesar and resides in Rio de Janeiro.
He has built huge serial ship and only
wants means for gigantic balloon to float
the same and his scheme. And there have
been Brazilian believers enough to furnish
him with funds for many months, but the
balloon is not built, the air ship has not
sailed and the patience of the subscribers
is nearly exhausted, while their funds are
quite so.
In this emergency actually the Emperor
Dom Pedro has headed committee to So
licit the sum of Sl5,0 900 to enable Professor
Julius Caesar to further experiment IN an
art that is not likely to eliminate IN success
in the present century. Yet subscriptions
are lively, most Brazilians believing that !,

accompanying the words-"The man of God goes

chorster men and boys, and as they proceeded
into the church the lower organ ceased, and the
main one on the right of the chancel sent forth
its thrilling notes and chords, the congregation
rose and Joined in the praisng of God
When the choristcrs were arranged in their
proper places, the head of the Docese-Bishop
Littejohn opened our grand old service, which is
essentially the same in every cline and every
sanctuary, be it cathedral or q rude western
chapel.
The service was intoned and chanted and the
voices of the thirty chorsters not to be over
rated. AT certain times when the echo organ is
played, one could think the plaintive strains
came from Heaven itself.
Service being ended the choristers receded
singing beautiful hymn as before then the con-
