To Navigate the Heavens.

DIR. De Bausset. the gentleman
who has been for several years at
tempting to solve the problem of
aerial navigation, has just made a
practical test that is of considerable
note to the public. The plan is to
build steel cylinder 27O feet long
and IS feet in diameter with 80 foot
cone at each end, the entire length
being $50 feet. Beneath this cylinder
1t is proposed to suspend a car, which
will be some 120 feet long and carry
the motor and large number of pas
sengers. The imitation process will
be dispensed with, and the cylinder
will be almost a complete vacuum.
He proposes to use electricity as a
motor. and expects to attain speed
16 to 20 miles per hour near the
earth's surface, and 45 to 60 miles
per hour at an altitude of 5000 feet.
To accomplish this, he will use dyna.
mo electric motors, which rotate IL
screws, and displace 800. 200 feet of air
per minute. The experiment yester-
day was to test the practical strength
of the plates. This was done by put
ting plate In such a position in a
frame that had been arranged that the
entire weight would rest upon the
steel. The Doctor put 2,4O0 pounds
of iron upon the steel plate, which
were more than his figures had shown
it would withstand. The plate proved
itself OF sufficient strength to hold the
load. To-day he tested it with n.y.
draulic pressure. The cylinder will
be vacuum to three-Quarter, one.
uarter being reserved TO counteract
the atmospheric pressure of $3.50
pounds. To raise the acrOplane with
the car attached, the machinery, and
200 persons, the pressure is $3.50
pounds, giving margin of so tons OF
air in reserve in the cylinder to carry
merchandise. With the 80 tons oil
air displaced the atmospheric pres.

10 Make Timber Plentiful.

some of our arbori- Is the
acknowledgement advice by PROBES.
sor Lazenby. of Cornell University.
To make timber plentiful. he says,
and to render our climate more
genial, we must re clothe all rugged,
broken land and rocky crests. In fact,
every acre that is not cultivated, or
is cultivated at loss, with valuable
forest trees.
First-All ravines and steep hill
sides, all land too rocky to be thor.
oughly cleared of stone and plowed,
should be devoted to trees.
Second--PrOtecting belts of timber
should be planted wherever build
ings, orchards, gardens. ETC.. are ex-
posed to cold. sweeping winds.
Third The banks of streams, ponds
open bitches, etc.. should be 80 plan
ted with trees that they will be pro-
tected from abrasion by foods and
rapid currents.
Fourth-All public roads should be
belted by graceful. stately trees.
We should preserve, improve. and
extend our existing forests by keep
ing up constant succession of young
growing trees of the best varieties.
TO do this 1t is necessary:
First-to allow no stock to run in
wood lots for purpose of forage. This
should be a rule inflexible aud re-
lentless.
Second-Young growth In forests
should be thined moderately and ju-
diciously. Worthless varieties should
be cut out and the valuable sorts
should be trimmed up so that they
will grow tall, forming trunk rather
than branches.
Third-Timber should be cut with
intelligent reference to future growth.
Valuable trees that you wish to prop.
agate should be cut in the spring.
Those that you wish to exterminate
should be cut in August.

Two hundred years and more ago
the beds in England were bags filed
with straw or leaves, but not uphol-
stored or squared with modern neat
ness. The bag could be opened and
the litter remade daily. There were
few bedrooms in the houses of ancient
England. The master and the mis-.
tress of the Anglo-Saxon house had a
chamber or shed built against the
wall that inclosed the mansion and
its dependencies and their daughter
had the same. Young men and guests
slept in the great hail, which was the
only noticeable room in the house, on
tables or benches. Wooden coverlets
were provided for warmth poles or
hooks on which they could hang their
clothes, projected from the wall !;
perches were provided for their
hawks, Attendants and servants
slept upon the floor:

II has for long time been the theory of many
more or less distinguished statesmen that special
legislation for cities and towns should I've for
bilden in State Constitutions. Well, they have
such a provision in their fundamental law over
in New jersey, and some very decent citizens
are getting sick of it, The financial condition
of several NewJersey cities, for instance, Is
bad but et1 ortS to get general laws passed that
might relieve their particularly painful situa-

how carefully drawn, the Supreme Court has
hcartlessly declared th,m TO be unconstitutional.
1t is 50 in other instanceS-Trenton l. just now
suffering because a certain license Law adapted
TO her peculiar needs has been declared void.
The moral of all this seems to be that the pro-
vision against special municipal legislation may
be a good thing if it pTccelcs the building OF
any city or town but that In the case OF an old
Commonwealth like NcwJcrscy, such funda-
mental law works more harm than good. Per
haps certain New Jersey towns could be forced
to pay their debts if such clause i'll their State
charter did not exist.
