Sailing In the Air.

In aerostation myth preceded history,
and in the older stories there is touch
of comedy. First is the old Greek leg
end OF Daedaaus and his son Icarus,
who sailed high on wings, but the heat of
the sun melted the wax with which the
wing feathers were fastened, and the men
were dashed to pieces. Suetonius says
that in the time of Nero, Simon Magus
flew from one housetop to another In
Rome, but adds that although he could
fly he could not light successfully, for in
coming down he was killed. In 1867 Pro
fessor Black. of Edinburgh, declared that
hydrogen gas was the material by which
men could sail the air, but no one took

elected, however, but Governor BulkeIy
lost ground with the grange element for
various reasons, and in the convention of
1880 his lieutenant governor beat him for
the nomination.
The election resulted in regular eight
to seven" puzzle. Judge Morris received
large plurality, but in Connecticut that
does not elect. If no candidate has ma
jority Of ell the votes cast, there is no
election by the people and the Legislature
decides between the two leading candi-
dates. The question rs to whether Judge
Morris had such majority depended on
whether certain third party votes should
be counted. Tho election boards threw
them out rs defective" Without them
Judge Morris had Il majority of twenty
six; with them counted he failed of such
majority, though leading Mr.. Merwin.
The Republican house of representatives
insisted that those votes should be counted;
the Democratic senate declared that the
action of the canvassng board was final
and that Judge Morris was elected, and
he took the oath of Office before that body.
Governor Bulkcley decided that rs the two
houses had not acted together no one had
been elected and held on to his Office. So
did the other state officers, though one of
the Democratic candidates was admitted
by all parties to have received a majority
of all the votes cast. The senate declined
