How One Woman Manages.

She was a slight, delicate little wom-

The hook 0f Life.

Every man makes the book of his
life day by day as he lives, and at his
death the pages are turned over by his
friends, and by his record each one is
judged. Each later line in the poem
of life should add something to the
opening lines. Each succeeding year
should carry ones politics, character,
creed and religion little higher. One
of the dangers to this country is the
increasing tendency to devote life to
pleasure seeking
Nothing should displace laughter. 1t
adds to life. But there is not a more
pitiable spectacle than that of an adult
life wasted in pleasure. Some central
utility should rise in every adult life.
The census takers could not tell how
many people in this country are de-
voting themselves almost wholly to
pleasure.
The rapid accumulation of wealth
may have lured million, perhaps two
millions, of people from their useful
ness. Next in evil to the devotion to
pleasure is the struggle for notoriety.
The book of life should be shown only
to its writer Certain parts of life are
inexpressible, and every soul has a
world of its own in which there can be
no reporters footprint. - Professor

DR.. L. j. Schifferstein, of Efingham,
has invented a flying machine on which
he is now experimenting. He says:
MY theory of flying machine Il
that of the inclined plane in combina-
ton with propulsive force and buoy
ancy chamber just enough TO prevent
injury to the machine in case of an ac-
cident when up in the air. To make
the idea palmer, suppose you have the
machine high up in the air; the inclined
planes are then set so as to allow of a
descent at great angle, just little
short of direct fall, say ut an angle
of % degs. from the perpendicular.
Now, when the machine has acquired
a great momentum the inclined planes
are so altered that the machine will
take more or less horizontal motion
or direction, and after while again
changed 50 as to make the machine
take an upward direction. It is also at
this stage of the fight that the propell-
Iu3 AtiCC ID ofplo0 oihA CouthuCO e1h
the greatest altitude the machine is ex-
pected to reach is obtained, when again
the force of gravity is depended on to
carry the machine through about two
thirds of its flight through the air to its
destination.
1.-The dominant idea is: First, to use
the inclined plane both as a supportive
and as a propelling agent; second, use
the force of gravity as prime propel-
ling agent, and third, to only use an
artificial propelling agent to carry the
machine upward. After that the force
of gravity, acting through the acquired
momentum and applied according to
the theory of the cycloid, will shoot the
machine just like a projectile about two
feet in horizontal direction for every
foot of fall.
''This action can be compared to
what sailors call lacking, only instead
of being in a horizontal direction. like
ship at sea, it will be more or less in
a perpendicular direction. BY this plan
about half the propelling force will be
saved, and again, when going against
the wind, it will require less artificial
propelling force to raise the air ship"
