Shall We Ever Fly.

Roger Bacon, the far-seeing monk OF
the fourteenth century, thus forecasts
the possibilities of coming age !:
There shall be rowing without oars,
and sailing without sails; carriages
shall roll with unimagined speed. with
no cattle to drag them instruments to
fly with, with which man shall move
artificial wings; little machine which
shall raise aud lower enormous weights
a machine to enable man to walk on
the bottom of the sea, nd bridges over
rivers, which shall rest neither on
piles nor on columns" Now that all
these possibilities, except flying. have
become actualities, why should that
much longer ba az exoeptien?

ter, have been proposed. and IL is not yet
possible to tell how many or which OF them

BRUSSELS and Tapestry.

Brussels and tapestry carpets are so
similar in appearance that they might
readily be regarded, on casual con-
sideration, as fabrics of the same
structure. But when the principles
on which the pattern is obtained in the
respective articles are examined, it is
at once evident that there is practi-
cally no actual resemblance for while
in the brussels the design is purely a
woven effect, in the tapestry it is
merely print, says the UphOlsterer.
The weaving of brussels affords
some characteristic features for inves-
tigation. The pile warp, for instance,
instead of running off ordinary yarn
beams, Is wound on bobbins or minia-
ture beams, fixed in frames or huge
cree stationed behind the loom. Each
color requires what is technically called
a separate frame.
A five-frame brussels is carpet
with this number of coIors succeeding
each other in the same line of fabric.
The manner in which the various col
ors are controlled in other words, in
which they are concealed from or
brought into VIEWS an important
factor in the manufacture of this arti-
Gle. On examining brussels carpet,
it will be observed that the individual
threads forming the pile seem either
TO be composed of several colors or TO
be substituted by yarns of other
shades, according to the section of the
pattern being formed. For inst lnce,
in the same line of the design, looking
at the fabric lengthwise, apparently in
the same thread, as many as from three
to five colors, such as black, green,
drab, scarlet, and blue. form the pile
in succession. If these effects are not
due to a variegated yarn, they result
from the employment of five distinct
threads, each of which is so controlled
that it only appears in the pile when
assisting to develop the design.
TO obtain three-frame pattern
composed, say, of black. scarlet, and
olive, at least three separate weaves
are necessary-one for each shade.
Thus the weave used in forming the
shed in the warp for the black pile is
so arranged as TO depress the scarlet
and olive, while that for giving the
scarlet pile conceals the black and

commercial traveller the other day. A
rather seedy-looking individual entered
a restaurant at which L was dining and
ordered avery elaborate meal. After
eating it with great relish he took his
check, walked to the cashiers desk,
and coolly informed him that he had
no money. The cashier put his hand
to shelf under the desk, produced q
pistol, and ordered the man to pay.

pointing to the pistol.

An expression of relief came over
the mans face as he replied:

A NewYorker who has spent some
years at Tangier, the quaint old sea-
port of Morocco, and who returned to
find the newspapers more than ordina-
rily full of the misdoings of bank and
trust company officials, thinks it is
fortunate for the offenders that they
did not operate in that African town.
"They don't mince matters over there. 4"
he says, "for man who loses sight of
the distinction between his own prop
erty and some one else's. When a
thief is caught in the most trivial
offense he is told to hold up his hands.
Then they ask him which hand he
would like to keep. When he has
made his choice they cut off the other.
