Saturday Night In Waco.

A large audience greeted Mr.. Frank
Kilday in the Boston theatre last
evening, when he appeared as Tom
Badger in THE Streets of New York.
This play has ever been one of the
most popular and successful of Amer
can melodramas, and it has held its
place in the affection of the theatre.
goers of this country by reason OF
many positive merits, which it is not
necessary to allude. to at the
present time. The thrilling and He-
alistic fire scene, admirably worked
on this large and thoroughly equipped
stage, the night scene in Union Square
the Five Points, and other familiar
scenes of the old play, were carefully
set, and the whole production was
very commendable. Mr.. Kilday re-
newed his former triumph in the
leading role as Tom Badger, and he
was supported by company of CON-
petent players. "The Streets of New
York" will be presented every even
ing this week, and on Wednesday
Friday and Saturday afternoons

Nero, the Roman emperor, is, per-
haps, best known by his celebrated
performance on the Tyre during the
burning OF his capital, although this
legendary episode is not mentioned by
such historians as Tacitus. NJ. Hol-
leaux, formerly of the French school
of Athens, who is making excavations
"a la Sch]iemann" in B9otia for the
French government has found stone
in the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios, Or
the apollo of the Internal Regions"
which presents the Roman tyrant in
another light.
The stone has engraved upon it what
NJ. Holleaux calls "a genuine speech
OF Nero's," that is to say, one which
was not composed for him, but uttered
probably eX tempore when giving lib.
erty to the Greeks. Nero plumed him.
self, of course, on his versatility, and
believed that he was an "all round
genius, able to compose, to make
speeches, to act and to sing. The dis.
covery of NJ. Holleaux may, perhaps,
prove that the tYrant vas real artist

learned excavator, the fragments OF

Whenever we are to ascend dan
gerous rapid-and nearly all are so
considered by the native itinerary, and
probably are at certain seasons of the
yeal-a boatman brings out an old
rusty four barreled blunderbuss, rams
the barrels full of powder, picks in
fuses and stations himself at the side
of the boat for the most serious bust
ness connected with the ascent. AS
the boat strikes the first fierce break
ers, one barrel is discharged into the
water; the gun is then dropped upon
the deck, and the sailor tugs for a
while at the ropes; when we have
swung around and plowed and
plunged sufficiently with little prog
ress, he drops his work, whatever it
may be, fires another fuse and ex-
plodes the half ounce of powder into
the foam; the third and fourth cham
bers are likewise emptied if the bust
ness is continued long enough.
This may seem curious and useless
custom to those unacquainted with the
Chinese ideas of demonology, but
once having mastered this branch of
their intricate religious system, it Will
appear to be the most natural and
necessary proceeding. Malicious spir-
its are in and around all dangerous
places, and ready to do all manner of
mischief. They can be frightened by
terrific sounds; ergo, in passing al
such spots the Chinaman naturally
yells, beats a gong, explodcs fire
crackers or powder in any form. AT
worship, at weddings, funerals, in
times of severe sickness, the greater
the noise the more likely the demons
are to hide themselves. The water is
crowded with such demons, and they
are either frightened or propitiated by
the boatmen. -"Western China"

THE FLYING MACHINE PROBLEM.
Lesson Taught by the Bird-Three Indis-
putable Facts.

put0UAe hCtSs
The reason of this wonderful effect
ivenesY of the animal machine is OBJ
vious. See how this machine has been
gradually perfected throughout in
finite ages, especially in birds. During
the whole geological history Of the
earth this machine has been steadily
improving in structure of skeleton,
energy of muscle and rapidity of com
bustion of fuel, by struggle for life and
survival of only the swiftest, the most
energetic and the hottest FLOODED, until
an almost incredible intensity is
reached in birds. Moreover, in them
everything is sacrificed to the supreme
necessity of flight. Niscera, skeleton,
legs, head, all are made as Small and
light as possible to make room for the
great pectoral muscles working the
wings. Add to this the exquisite
structure of the wings and feathers,
adapting them for the greatest effect
iveness and we must admit that n
bird is an Incompatible model of a
flying machine.
No machine that we may hope to
devise, for the same weight of ma
chine, fuel and directing brain, is half
so effective. And yet this machine
thus perfected through infinite ages
by a ruthless process of natural selec
ton, reaches its limit of weight at
about fifty pounds! said, weight
of machine, fuel and directing brain. "
Here is another prodigious advantage
of the natural over the artificial ma
chine. The flying animal is its OWN
engineer, the flying machine must
carry its engineer. The directing en-
gineer in the former Cthe BRAIN is per-
haps an ounce in the latter it is $50
pounds. The limit of the flying ami
NAL is fifty pounds. The smallest
possible weight Of flying machine,
with its necessary fuel and engineer,
even without freight or passengers,
could not be less than 800 or 400
pounds.
Now, to complete the argument put
these three indisputable facts together:
/. There is low limit of weight, ccr-
tainly not much beyond fifty pounds,
beyond which it is impossible for an
animal to fly. Nature has reached this
limit, and with her utmost effort has
failed to pass it. 2. The animal ma
chine is far more effective than any
we may hope to make; therefore the
limit of the weight of successful fly
ing machine cannot be more than
fifty pounds. 3. The weight of. any
machine constructed for flying, in
Guiding fuel and engineer, can not be
less than three or four hundred
pounds Is it not demonstrated that a
true flying machine, self raising, self
sustaining, self propelling, is physi-
cally impossiblel-Professor Joseph
LIE Conte in Popular Science Monthly.
