Cover Them Over

Cover tho over! Meath the sweet clover,
war-scarred battalions are melting away;
No longer in strife are the blue and the gray;
Time is the foeman who conquers to-day.
Lilies and roses! Valor reposes
Under the hillecks strewn over with flowers;
Heroes who fought for their country and ours,
PeacefullysIeep meath the May bedecked bowers
Over them lay laurel and bay;
Garlands for heroes who bore them so well;
Crowns for the martyrs who fought and who fell:
Long in the land may their memory dwell.

There is nothing especially startling
about these figures. They show that
the county has S24, IA less taxable
personal property this year than it had
last, which is not surprising when 1t is
remembered that prices for everything
were very low in March 1890, and peo-
pie were holding stock and grain for
better figures, while this year prices
were high through January and Feb
ruary and people sold everything that
was ready for the market. The gain
in population of 247 is not at all re-
markable, but it is much more salts
factory than the loss of SS4 that was
shown by last years census. 1t is
worthy of note that we are indebted to
the country for this gain, the cities
showing net loss since last year.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1891-11-05


Anyone who has ever dreamed of
flying must have a vivid impression
of the pleasure that would be de-
rived from the ability to navigate the
air.
From the days of the Montgolfers
and their hot-ah balloons to the pres
ent time, many false hopes have been
held out that man was on the point
of making highway of the atmos-
phere, as he has done of the sea.
But repeated disappointments have
bred general incredulity on this sub
ject.
When, however, man OF the
scientific reputation of Prof. S. p.
Langley demonstrates, as he has re-
Gently done by series OF original ex-
peyiments, that heavy bodies can be
sustained in the air, with rapid mo-
tion, there is good reason to hope that
the problem of mechanical fight may
yet be solved.
The principle upon which Professor
Langley worked will be readily
grasped by any boy who has ever
SHE'D a thin, fiat stone, or piece OF
slate into the air or upon the surface
of smooth water, and watched it
skim along.
Professor Langley experimental
with thin metallic planes, and dis
covered that the time of fall of such
plane, even though it may be heav-
lily weighted, can be indefinitely pro-
lopOa6 NV In, no fipn IN tho ,Nlapa N
sufficiently swift lateral motion. In
other words, the plane may be made
to slide through the air without de-
scending to the earth.
BY tipping the plane so that as 1T
moves forward the air will strike
against its under surface, the ten
dency to fall to the ground is counter
balanced. One of the most interest
ing facts shown by the experiments
is, to quote Professor Langley's words,
that, "the force required to sustain
inclined planes in horizontal aerial
locomotion diminishes instead Of in
creasing when the velocity is aug
mented."
1t is only necessary that the flying
piano ohdAi SdiJ iOo OWh mOOVf ohu
steering apparatus, in order to trans
form it into veritable ship Of the
air. We may soon see Professor
Langley's idea put into practice, for
Mr.. Maxim, in England, is reported
to be about to launcha flying machine,
constructed on this principle; and
consisting Of plane one hundred and
ten feet long by forty feet wide,
which is to be propelled by a. screw
driven by a petroleum condensing en-
CINE weighing eighteen hundred
pounds.
Such a machine speeding through
the air with a load OF passengers
would be almost as wonderful sight
as Prince Ahmed's' flying carpet

An Insurmountable Objection.

Although the people in the. north
ern part OF Georgia have the finest
soil on earth for raising vegetables,
they stick year after year to cotton
and corn, and import vegetables at
heavy cost, says the New York Her
aid. The country is developing rap
idly, and the manufacturing towns
springing up give an increasing mar
ket for all kinds Of stuff called garden
truck; but the farmers go placidly
along in the footsteps of their faith
ers, and raise cotton or corn whether
they make money or not.
why don't you plant potatOes?"
said a recent arrival from the North
TO a farmer who was complaining
about the small profits Of cotton
growing.
"Oh, can't raise no pertatoes, {"
said the man, despondently.
"Why not?" persisted the North
erner. "You have lots of land Just
right for potatoes, and you can get 81
bushel for them right here in town.
Why, man alive, you can get IS a bar
rel For all you raise"
'sNo use talkin'," says the farmer;
"can't do It noways.~

% HaYseed."

There can be little doubt that a
distaste for the farmers life is culti-
waited among country boys by the car
features OF the farmer which are pub
lished in comic papers and "humor-
Gus" books, and by the fear of being
classed among the people whom these
caricaturists are pleased to call "hay-
seeds"
Boys are accustomed to see these
funny pictures, "In which a sort of
farmer who is extremely unusual, and
may be said not 10 exist at all, is set
forth as the type or example of farm
ers in general. And as boys are some
times unreasoning, they are apt to
say to themselves, Il will not be rid
iculed in that way when grow up; /
will get out Of the 'hayseed bust
ness"
In this, way not emily is an injustice
done by these caricatures, but a pos
tive injury.
The American people have broad
sense of humor, and no doubt delight
linz caricature; but they do not delight
in Injustice or misunderstanding, when
they are able to recognize it as such.
For this reason, it may be hoped
that the caricaturing Of the farmer,
which has certainly been greatly over
done, may soon cease from the dis
taste for it which is pretty sure to
arise.
The farmer himself can afford to
take the "hayseed" ridicule gcod-na
turedly. At a recent farmers demon
stration in the West, men rode in a
procession dressed in cowhide boots,
patched trousers, and ragged straw
hats, carrying pitchforks on their
shoulders. They had adopted the
gulse which the caricature gives
them as a way Of showing that they
are Independent of that sort of rid.

But in the case Of the young this
spirit of independence is not often SC
strong. With a little thought, they
must see that an unjust caricature
does not really affect the credit aud
