Man In Mid-Air.

Richard A. Proctor, writing in the
Philadelphia Taess, says l believe that
athletes such as those who first obtained
mastery over the problem of the bicycle
could very soon learn to float, to ascend,
to descend, to ride upward, to soar, and
so forth, in a way which would very
decisively indicate the possibility of a
much fuller mastery over the problem Of
flight later on. Experiments which have
been already made prove decisively that
a mans weight can be supported by
planes or sails of very moderate extent
not much greater proportionally to his
body than an eagles wings-if on y there
is either rapid motion of advance or a
strong current of air against their slightly
santed surface But these experiments
have not yet been so carried on as to-
show fully what can be done when prac-
tice in the art of balancing in the air
and in making the adjustments neces-
sary for changing the direction of flight
has been sufficiently extended. Yet MIR.
Charles Spencer, a teacher of gymnastics
in England, was able, after attaining no
greater velocity than would be given by
running down q small incline, to sustain
flight by the supporting action of wicker
wings for distance Of 120 feet. Bes-
nier, indeed, toward the close of the last
century, devised a method of supporting
the body by pinions, which enabled him,
after sharp run, to fly across a river Of
considerable width. 1t is certain that
very little is TO be gained from the at
tempts which have been made to direct
balloons. The velocity which can be
given to a balloon in still air is very
small A very moderate breeze would
carry a balloon one way despite all
mechanical attempts to direct it in an
other let the balloon be shaped as it
may. Moreover, all such attempts are
dangerous, for the wind has a great hold
on the necessarily large surface of a
balloon, and going against the wind
would subject the balloon to destructive
influences. Whenever man attacks the
problem of flight, seeking real advantage
from its mastery, he will aim at much
more than such mere floating power as
the balloon gives-at mole even than the
rapid floating motion, with power of
guidance, which may be obtained by the
experiments suggested above. There
must also be power of energetic pro-
pulsion while still in the air. This might
be obtained by suitable adjustments of
levers to be worked by man IN actual
fight. But while l believe flight to be
possible for man in this way, consider
the only kind of flight which is likely to
be really useful to men to be that of fly
ing machines propelled, balanced and
directed bv some one or other OF the
natural forces man has brought under his
control. That man who has learned to
traverse the land more swiftly by
means than its most active
denizens, and to make the wide seas his
highway by similar devices, should be
unable to travel in the air, which by
natural selection alone has become the
home of creatures descended from rep
tilian forms, is to me unthinkable.

The Color OF the Sea.

Artists always seem at loss to deal
with the color of the sea, and few are
those who please the public. Professor
Tyndall has come to their aid. He re-
cognizes three principal hues in the sea
waves-blue, green and yellow. soma
particles held in the water act as minute
mirrors rejecting the light which pene-
trates the liquid. The rays which are
sent out, after having traversed only
thin stratum of water, preserve their
yellow parts; but if the reflections are
attenuated the water appears green; and
if they do not exist at all, the sea being
clear and free from muddy matters, the
color is deep blue. In an indigo sea the
crest of the waves will appear green on
account of their lack of thickness. Sea
weed, animalcule and other local or ac-
cidental causes may have much influence
on the color of the water Court

WIEN PIPING WINDS DO BLOW


When piping winds do blow
And whistle long and shrill,
And dancing feet O the snow
Glide down the long white hill
'Tis then the world is gay, is gay
With brave, bright skies aglow,
For the long, long play of the winter day
When piping winds do blow.
'Tis then the world is gay
With naught to preach of gloom,
Nor ever flower of the May
To push into bud and bloom.
With never a blade of grass-of grass
To coax till its lances show
But the long, long play of the winter day
When piping winds do blow!
Never her scouts need run,
And to the skies complain
Of scorching heat o. the sun,
Or dronching blight of the rain;
Never an apple to paint-to paint,
Or an ear of corn to grow
But the long, long play of the winter day,
When piping winds do blow!
No bird in hidden nest,
To WOO to flight and song,
Orrock to sleep i the breast
OF tall pines, green and strong;
No music to teach the wave-the wave,
As it breaks on the sand below
But the long, long play of the winter day,
When piping winds do blow!
She hath no care TO heed
If autumn fails to reap
Bountiful wealth O. the seed,
And golden fleece of the sheep;
Whether the stack be high-be high
Or whether the stack be low,
What does she care in the winter fair,
When piping winds do blow!
Ali when the winds do blow,
And whistle loud and shrill,
'Tis then the world may go
Wherever her fancy will!
'Tis then shecan dance and sing-an sing,
With never grief to know
But the long, long play of the winter day,
When piping winds do blow.

dramatic event of more than ordinary in
terest and significance No one has played

there is no one on the English speaking

any chance of success. Janauschek is the
last of the great actresses of the old heroic
school-of the school of which Edmund
Kean and Edwin Forrest, Sarah Siddons
and Charlotte Cushman, are illustrious
representatives. We have commodiennes
nowadays, women like Modjeska and Ell
len Terry and Sarah Bernhardt, whose
art seems TO exhaust the possibilities of
refinement, and whose work within its
proper sphere is altogether charming, but
where have we tragedienne in the sense
that Janauschek is such She alone en-
bodies in her performance the traditions
of the classic stage. She alone has the
grand manner of tragedy, and when she
leaves the theatre there will be none to
take her place. Janauschek as Meg
