WHY MAN CANNOT FLY.
Professor Hazen's Reasons for the In
practicabiIity of Air-Ships.

Professor Hazen's Reasons for the Inn
practicabiIity of Air-Ships.
Professor Hazen Of the Signal Office says
there are insurm0untable obstacles to per-
fectlng flying machine. Professor Hazen
states the main obstacles thus:
Frst-It is impossible to use the food
which the bird uses to develop power by any
contriyance which can ever be invented
that will give one tithe of the effect that the
bird gets. That Is to say, while possibly a
spring or other application of force, by
using up an enormous amount of energy III
very short time, might momentarily imi-
tate a bird, yet the motive power in such
cases would be rapidly used up.
SecOnd-It is impossible, by the most
delicate mechanism and most perfect wings,
to equal the perfection and adaptabil!ty OF
the bird in its own element.
Third-Tnere is limit of weight hey Ond
which 1t is impossible for bird to fly. 1t is
probable that the ostrich had the power of
flight in ages gone by, but when its environ
ment became such that it did not need its
wings TO escape from enemies, or when il
began TO grow larger from any favoring
circumstances. it used its wings less and
less, so that now it is entirely incapable of
fight. 1t is probable that the condor,
weighing fifty pounds, and with a spread of
wings OF IA feet, is very near the limit OF
weight We may conclude, then, that we
can never equal bird, and hence. that q
self-ralSing, self-supp0rting and self-pro-
polling flying machine cannot possibly be
built to carry aman.-Indian apolis Journal.

side, and these three young heroes stationed
themselves at the escapes on the three upper
stories and passed down the terrified women
and children. Then they we're dropped
into the arms of the policemen on the side
walk.
Then an exciting thing happened. The
names were bursting cut OF every window
OF the building, but 1t was supposed that
everybody had been saved. But a sudden
cry directed the attention of the crowd to
the second floor where a little girl was seen
cllnging to the fire escape. 1t was the little
f0ur-year-Old child of William Mcmahon.
She had been overlooked. Flames were all
around her. She was speechless with terror.

aud said, Did YOU tell that l poisoned
your cattle?" Fenwick replied that he had
