Father Lana's Plan OF an Air-Ship.

More than three centuries after the
time of Bacon, Father Lana wrote out
his idea of a vessel that might be made
TO rise in the air. Four hollow globes
Of copper, each having diameter of
about twenty-five feet, were to be care
fully exhausted and then attached to
car. Torricelli and Pascal had already
proved that the pressure OF the atmos-
phere was nearly fifteen pounds per
square inch at sea-level, and Laua's
proposed method OF cxhausting his
globes was to be an application of Tor
riceli's principle. Each globe was to
be filed with water and lifted to a
height of at least thirtNfour feet Be-
meath it should be fitted a tube with
air-tight connections, which was to dip
into water. On opening this tube the
contents Of the globe would be emptied
into the vessel below, leaving Tor
ricellian vacuum above, while the tube
would become water-barometer.
Lana seemed to know nothing about
the specific gravity Of gases. His cop
per globes were to be made very thin
in order to secure lightness, but he
failed to make any correct estimate of
the rigidity they must have to sustain
either the weight of the water they
should hold, or the crushing force of
the atmosphere after exhaustion. Un-
like the product of Bacon's imagina-
ton, his conception was n correct ap-
plication of demonstrated physical
laws; but, had it been tested by expert
ment, he would at once have found
that there were other laws which he
had not taken into account. In his
view, the only obstacle to success was
that "the Almighty would never allow
an invention to succeed by means of
which civil government could so easily
be disturbed Air-ships floating be-
yond the reach of missiles, if only cap
able of being accurately directed, might
well have been thought more terrible
than dynamite is to-day.-IroteSsor W.

General McClcllan's views AS to his re-
sponsibllity connected with tho safety

ing him in the very movement then
taking place. 1t is likely from what
we know now, that had it been possible
to follow the Princes advice, his mill
tary forecast might have proved cor
rect. But no one at that hour could
have predicted the paralysis OF Jack

ganizcd mob and rs an army would
have porishcd miserably. General Nc
Clcllan believed that the destruction Of
the Army of the Potomac at that time
would have been ruin to our cause,
and his actions, for which he alone Is
responsible, were guided by that belief
and by the conviction that at any sac
rilice the preservation of that army,

There was one artist of this time who
looked to nature not merely for the in
cidents of childhood, but for the soul
of childhood itself. 1t is impossible to
regard tho work of Luca della Robbia.
especially in that ware which receives
his name, without pcrceving that here
was a man who saw children and re-
joccd in their young lives with sim
pie, ingenious delight. The very spirit
which led this artist to seek for express
sion in homoly forms Of material. to
domesticate art, as it were, was one
which would make him quick to seize
upon, not the incidents alone, but the
graces, of childhood. Nor is it strain
ing point to say that the purity of
hi. color was one with tho purity OF
this sympathy with childhood. Tho
Renaissance as a witness to new Oc-
cupation of the world by humanity
finds its finest expression in the hope
which springs in the lovely figures of
Luca della Robbia.
1t is significant of this Renaissance
it is significant, think we shall find,
of every great new birth in the world
that it turns its face toward childhood,
ana looks into that image for the pro-
foundcst realization of its hopes and
dreams. In the attitude OF men to-
ward childhood we may discover the
near or far realization of that supreme
hope and confidence with which the
great head of the human family saw,
in the vision of a child, the new heaven
and the new earth. 1t was when his
disciples were reasoning among them
selves which Of them should be the
greatest that Jesus took a child, and
set him by him, and said unto them:
"Whosoevcr shall receive this child in
my name receiveth me-" The rccep-
ton of the Christ by men, from that
day to this, has been marked by sue
cessivc throes of humanity, and in each
great movement there has been new
apprehension of childhood, a new rec
ognition of the meaning involved in
tho pregnant words OF the Saviour.
Such recognition lies in the children
of Raphael and Luca della Robbia.
There may have been no express inti-
nation on their part Of the connection
between their works and the great
prophecy but it is often for later gen.
cralons to read more clearly the pres
cnce Of thought by means Of light
thrown back upon it. The course Of

Composing Under Difficulties.

In October, 1887, after his return to
Vienna, Mozart produced his greatest
opera, "Don Giovanni" AS late as
the night before the performance the
overture had not been copied. Mozart
wrote on until late into the night, and
his wife could only keep him awake by
telling him the old fairy tales, such as
he loved when child; at times he
would break from laughter to tears.
growing more and more weary, he fell
asleep. At seven the next morning.
he arose and finished the score, the ink
in some parts being scarcely dry when
the copies were placed on the musi-
clans desks. The musicians had to
play the overture at sight, but its
beauties aroused the greatest cnthusi-
asm both in the players and the audi
encc. Mozart superintcnded all tho
rehearsals, and inspired the singers
with his own ideas and feelings. He
taught the hero to dance minuet, and
when one of the singers failed to con-
quer his score, Mozart altered it on the
spot At last the Emperor bestowed u
court position on Mozart. but the sala-
ry was SO meagcr-it was less than
S5UO-that it was of little help to him,
while his duty, to compose danco-music
for the court, was humiliating. Well
could he reply, when asked his income
by the tax -guthcrcr. "Too much for
what do; too little for what | could

The Yellowstone Park as winter
Sanitarium.

From my own observations, and
from inquiries made on the spot, am of
opinion that the Yellowstone National
Park possesses, in q high degree, all
these essential conditions. In e.eva-
ton above the sea it surpasscs Davos;
the great plateau of the park is be-
tween 1000 and 5000 feet above sea-
level, while it is stated that not one of
the narrow valleys dips below 6,0O)
feet. The mountain-ranges, partly
surrounding and partly within the
park, rise to heights ef from 10000 to
$4,000 feet. should anticipate, there
fore, that all the advantages which, as
winter resort for invalids, Dayos
possesses from its elevated position,
would be enjoyed even in a greater de-
gree in the Yellowstone Park. The
period of permanent snow is longer, so
that invalids could remain there pro-
badly until the end OF April, whereas
the melting OF the snow generally COM
pels them to leave Davos early in
March, when the climate OF the valleys
is peculiarly unfavorable for chest
complaints. 1t is expected, from its
greater elevation, that q still clearer
sky and larger proportion of sunny
days would be experienced in the iel-
lowstone Park, while the wholesome
ness OF the air would be still more
marked, owing to its comparatively
greater freedom from zymotic matter.

A VOLTS Puppies.

A prairie wolf with three frolick-
some, interesting little cubs yesterday
attracted much attention at the zoolog-
ical garden. The little fellows frisked
and gamboled about the roomy cage
which the family occupy in very much
the manner of puppies, and tender
hearted young lady who gazed at them
silently for some moments turned to
her escort and remarked: ''Is it not a
shame to put those little puppies in the
same cage with wolff"
They are wolves,' said the young
gentleman confidently, ."but all cubs
look that way until they are grown"
They are very cunning little cubs
said Supt. Brown, in a quzzical tone,
land l will tell you something about
them. Some time ago the mother was
sent from the west to student at the
Academy of Fine Arts in this city, Aft
er using her for a model he gave her
to US. She was kept in roomy box in
stable while in his charge. Since her
arrival here she gave birth to three
cubs, and she displays much affection
for them, although it is becoming more
apparent every day that they are pret-
ty much Newfoundland puppies"
The three little cubs are very fat
and look like little balls covered with
brown wool. Instead of the wolf head
of the mother they have the heavy,
broad features of species of the New
foundland dog. The bushy tail of the
wolf has become more slender ap-
pcndage and the graceful legs, made
for swift running, have the heavy
characteristics of the water-dog parent.
IL am afraid the mother will be much
disappointed in them when they grow
up" said the superintendent. -PAtla.
