The 'taeroplane, which Hiram Maxim, of
gun fame, has succeeded in constructing, is
the latest development in aerial naviga-
tion. The machine is completely engined
and equipped, and consists of a plane Of
string light framework and material pro-
PEELED by screws driven by special COM
pound steam .engine of very light construc-
tion. The steam is condensed under slight
pressure on the surface of the aeroplane.
For the purpose of rendering the horizontal
fluctuations less sudden the machine has a
length of 40 feet.
Mr. Maxim is a man of such scientific at
tainments as to be beyond the pale Of
tricksters and visionaries, and his deduc-
tions and demonstrations have great weight
in scientific circles. At the annual meet
ing of the Aeronautical Society Of Great
Britain he assured his hearers that for each
ten-pound weight of engine and boiler and
condenser in the aeroplane, an actual or
brake horse power was developed. In the
discussion which followed the reading Of
Mr.. Ma1im's paper, Sir James Douglas
drew attention to the remarkable statement
of his engine, and pointed out that it meant
nothing more or less than an equivalent to
the strength of o full-grown man being ex-
erted by piece of mechanism weighing but
one and one-half pounds at most. Mr..
Maxim replied that this was the result of
his trials. He, moreover, believes that,
providing the steering and leveling gear OF
the machine is found efficient, he has now
overcome all difficulties, and that in two or

The Air Above Cities,

The popular idea that the higher one goes
in city air the purer the atmosphere be-
comes has been disproved by evidence just
given before select Committee on House
of Commons Ventilation in London. 1t is
found that the air in cities like London.
where soft coal is burned, is purest at about
80 or 40 feet from the ground. Lower than
that the dust is encountered, and higher the
smoke from the chimneys. These con-
clusions were arrived at from experiments
with frames of wood covered with blanket
ing material put at different elevations
one on the top of the clock tower at West
minister, another on the highest point of the
roof, and others at various heights down to
the court yard. After five hours exposure
there were found to be more smuts at high
elevations than at the low, but on the level
of the court yard there were considerable
quantities of dust. The inference from
these experiments is that the common no.
tion that the highest. stories of the tallest
blocks of flats are especially desirable is
apt to be mistaken one, and that beyond
40 feet nothing is gained by going higher,
unless great height, say Some 400 or 500
feet, is reached.

Ouay's Designs on Mexican States.

Iwonder what Senator Quay intends to
do with chihuahua, Coahuila and Sonora,
the Mexican States for whose purchase he
last week introduced a bill in Congressf
Can it be mineral wealth, agriculture or
cattle farming he has in view, or does he
entertain the idea of offering them to Pitts
burg for poor farm purposes. All three
are rich in mineral resources, and Coahuila
has already established a reputation as .
farming district and Sonora ditto as to cat
tie raising The question is: What has
Mexico to do with the case? Will that
country consent to the sale of these terri
tories? If she will, am of the opinion
that that part of the matter was considered
before Senator Quay put the proposition be.
fore the United States Senate. If this be
the case, Mexico must be in sore financial
trouble or she would not want to part with
these valuable possessions. Should she do
so, it means the transfer of many thousand
square miles of exceedingly rich territory,
together with population of nearly 400.
600 Besides, many American interests
will be benefited, among them large num-

An Electric Hammer.

A electric power hammer has been de-
vised which represents a radically new ap-
plication OF electro magnetic principles. In
general design the hammer is similar to the
steam hammer, with its vertical cylinder
mounted upon an arched frame, and the ris-
ing and falling piston by which the ham
mer head is carried. The novelty of the
apparatus lies in the substitution of cleo
tro-magnetic power for steam by slight
and very simple modification of the mech
anism. The piston is of magnetic material
and the cylinder is composed of a series of
coils, through each of which an electric
current may be passed separately. The
passage of an electric current through the
coils forming the upper part of the cylinder
raises the piston into the magnetic field
thus created, and the cutting off of the cur
rent and its simultaneous transferrence to
the lower coils of the cylinder releases the
piston, the descent of which is accelerated
by the magnetic attraction created below.

For a vision Of loveliness beamed like .

From the opposite side Of that Carson street

Twas q maiden Of twenty. . maiden Of

A cherry-lipped lass, with q cherubio face,
And dimple that danced in the light Of her

Like a mote in sone sun beam astray through

There be southfder madchens, with cheeks

But rarer and sweoter, ana fairer by far,
Was the maiden l met in that Carson strees

And say-was It fsnoy or fortune divins.-
But felt that her eyes for one moment

And in their blue brfllianee suoh magic did
reign,
That tho mist seemed to melt from the

Then my heart bounded madly-I sighed to

In the fog-laden river tho shams of this

That my tender anections-unehained a.

With her by my side, what were life but q

One carol of happiness, all the day long7
The sweets Of our love, time itself could not

ures necessary to living in suite Of rooms.
The first thing wanted was a mantel clock,
and the "denial box" was put into opera
tion. When she felt inclined to buy bon
bons, 60 to the theater or indulge in any
little luxury she simply didn't 90 it, put
ting the money she would have spent in the
box 1t was the same if she walked instead
of riding On his part, he found that he
could save considerable money by shaving
himself, and in went the money regularly
into the box. He also found that he could
90 without so many cigars and many little
things.
This went on until when the box was
opened it was found that it contained much
more than was needed for very costly
clock, and other little things were bought.
The box was again brought into play tor
vacation trip.
What They Think oft.
This mode of living together has gone on
Tor number Of years, unknown to living
soul until the present time except the two
concerned. The experiment has proven to
be good one. Both love and respect each
other more. The man said recently:
MY wife now has snug little fortune
of her own, and if I were to die to-day
would be perfectly independent; that's one
consolation. Besides it has given her en-
ployment for her thoughts. She has be-
come a good fnancier, better than many
men. I have home to go TO and SO has
she, and neither is dependent in sense on
the other''
"But taking 1t from a perfect equality
standpoint, how is she Independent when
you give her half your salary?" was asked.
"Well, don't have home to go to and
. wife to take care of me. Then, too, she
looks after my wants, my clothes and is q
easier. tell you, just looking at it from a
business standpoint, wouldn't any single
man get along better under the same ar
rangement?"
As he uttered this clincher his wife
nodded approval-for these facts were
brought out in joint chat with the two
and then they began telling about plan
they had for pooling interests and building
. house in the East End.

Measuring the Time Of Thought.

Among those who delight in pushing
their investigation into the byways Of
science is learned doctor, who has con-
structed an ingenious apparatus by which
he can determine, with a considerable de-
gree of accuracy, the time it takes to think
He has shown that to see piece of white
paper, and be conscious of the fact, takes
one-twentieth of second; to see picture
takes one-tenth of second; to see letter
of common print, one-eighth of second;
to see a full word, one-seyenth of second,
and to be able to judge between red and
blue, thirteenth of second. By this
machine the time of remembering can also
be accurately measured.
According to its enthusiastic inventor,
much less time is occupied in remembering
the name of familiar word than the name
of letter. This seems strange, especially
when the fact that we can see the letter in
less time than the word is taken into con-
sideration. This machine also shows that
sensations travel by the nerves to the brain
at the rate of one mile per minute, much
slower than has been supposed.

An Improved Car Strap.

A new car strap, with the imposing name
of "the automatic supporter" will be ap-
preciated by standing passengers in crowded
cars. In the cars now in use are two bars
extending along the roof to which are at
tached straps to support standing passen-
gers These straps often swing and strike
passengers in the face. The new device
does away with this Objectionable feature.
It is nickel-plated cylinder about 2l
inches long, which contains springs, to
which straps are attached. At the end of
the strap is a nickel-plated piece of iron,
which can be taken between the fingers.
When the passenger takes hold of this the
spring allows it to come down about ten
inches, furnishing support. When not in
use the spring carries it back into the cylin-
der

Use of tho Electric Light.

The complaint is much less heard now
than it was formerly, but still it is some
times heard, that the electric light is in
furious to the eye. Most people have
learned that it is just as easy to save the
eyes from the electric light BY the exercise
of little common sense, as it is to injure
them by the neglect of it. For perfect
illumination there is no necessity for the ac-
tual source of light to be visible. 1t may
be diffused by means either of frosted
lamps, dioptric shades or silk shades. The
light will be much more pleasing, and the
loss in light will be found to be much less
than is usually supposed. A properly
illuminated room is one in which the light
is evenly distributed, and no irritation is
caused by the source of it being too ap-
parent. Electrical engineers are beginning
to recognize that the diffusion of light is an
art in itself

A Nutmeg Crater.

The value of an invention is not always
in the direct ratio of its pretentiousness. A
humble addition to the list of recent patents
is case in point. If the average house
wife is asked the best way of grating nut
megs she will tell you there is but one way,
that adopted by her great grandmother, in
which the finger tips often took the place
of the nutmeg and migrated pieces of the
spices fell into the pastry. Modern luxury,
however, extends even to nutmeg graters,
and one of the latest evolutions Of the in
ventor's brain is an appliance by which all
waste of material and laceration of fingers
can be obviated.
The new crater is attached to a tin rod
which moves through holes in timed iron
Frame In this frame, at the top, timed
cylinder is fixed. This is open at one side
to permit of the insertion of nutmeg,
which is held firmly against the crater by
the action of a coiled spring pressing on q
circular disc. Underneath the crater is
fixed handle, which is held firmly in the
left hand, while with the right the frame is
pushed briskly to and fro over the crater.

Shsrpenine Tools by Ele ectricity.

An electro-chemical method of sharpen
ing files and other tools, is being used with
satisfactory results, both from a practical
and economical point of view. The files,
which have first been thoroughly cleaned,
are immersed for 20 minutes, suspended
in a metal plate in a mixture of
100 parts of water, 6 parts of nitric
acid and 8 parts snlphuric acid.
The plate is placed in connection with a
number of carbons immersed in the same
liqnid The corrosion of the metal takes
place in the cavities only, so that the edges
are sharpened in exactly the same manner
as if the operation had been performed by a
file Glitter.

Expose of the Electric Girl.


A graphic account has been given by the
English papers of the remarkable feats per-
formed by an American lady in London, who
ascribes the seemingly incredible feats
which she accomplishes to electricity or
animal magnetism. Mrs. Abbott, "the
electrical girl" among other exhibitions,
lifted four gentlemen, packed on a wooden
chair, without undue exertion. This trick,
for trick it is, is explained clearly By Mel
son W. Perry in an excellent article on the
subject in Electricity. Mr.. Perry has inter-
ested himself in the investigation Of the
so-called electric girls who periodically
trade on the gullibility of the public, and
he has obtained some verv clearly defined
results. In the chair trick already men,
toned, Mr.. Perry says, 80 men out of 100
when told to hold the chair down, will place
their hands on the seat or arms of the chair
and throw their weight almost entirely on
their feet. If they do not do this at first,
they will the moment they are conscious
of the girls efforts to raise the chair,
thus unconsciously assisting her. To raise
the chair the operator merely pushes against
the back Ct the seat; she does not lift. She
is assisted in doing this by her knee, which
she brings to bear against her elbows or
forearms, and also by the leverage she shas
between the mans feet and hands. Once
the chair is raised ever so little, the hard
est part is accomplished. She at once re-
lakes her efforts, and the man falls back, or
by sideway movement she shoves the
chair to one or the other side. In either
case he is off his balance, and skilful manip-
ulation on her part before this balance is
regained causes him to throw himself in
almost any direction she desires with little
expenditure of energy on her part. Mr..
Perry describes how several other of the
tricks of the electric girl are done, and
states that there is not one among them that
cannot be carried out by an ordinary per-
son who knows the modus operandi.
