FARMER WooDWARD's AIRsAlP.
He wm Attempt to Sail Across the
 Country in Three Days.

He wm Attempt to Sail Across the
 Country in Three Days.
 Robert J. Woodward, farmer of Ventura county, is preparing to sail from San Diego to New York in bal loon. He had expected to get away be- fore this, but had trouble with the gas company about the gas to fill his air ship, and he may be detained several days.
 MT. Woodward is an enthusiast on the subject of aerial navigation, and for ten years has given the question the most exhaustive study. In the theory of the navigation of the atmosphere he is per haps as well posted as any man living, but in practice he is novice, never hay ing made an ascension.
 On account of the mountains being lower here than in the north, and also of there being nearly always westerly breeze in this part of the country, Mir. Woodward decided to honor San Diego with his presence, and make it his point of departure, with what degree of suc- cess, however, remains to be seen.
 He arrived in this city about two weeks ago, and while awaiting the ar rival of his balloon has busted himself studying the air currents and preparing peculiar apparatus, which he proposee to attach to his inflated globe.
 He proposes by adding two huge white wings to the balloon to sail whither he will, ascending and descending at pleas ure. The wings are about s by 6 feet, and are spread upon a bamboo pole about twelve feet long, having two branches from the main pole, one on either side, and four crosspieces. The wings were of strong though light weight canvas, sewed to each piece of the frame,
 By working the wings as one would . pair of oars in rowing, the invensos claims to be able to control his now ments. At any rate, he has such conti- dence in his ability to do so that he has not only spent much money on the in- vention, but proposes to risk his life on it.
 The balloon is 36 by 26 feet, is capa- ble of lifting 400 pounds and cost 5000. 1t requires II 900 feet of gas and about fifteen hours is the time necessary to in- fate it. MT. Woodward caused to be erected canvas screen about forty feet in height on a vacant lot, where he made an attempt to fill it. Being afraid of getting water into the balloon after let ting in 200 feet, he decided not to take any risk, but obtain the gas from the gas works. Accordingly the valve was opened and the gas released.
 Although having no idea of the height he will have to reach, MT. Woodward expects to obtain an altitude of 10000 feet easily.
 If successful in striking the current he expects to, he says it is not impossi- ble to reach the Atlantic coast in thirty six hours. He, however, does not ex- pect to travel so quickly, and will take sufficient provisions for three days trip, which, he said, in case of necessi- ty, would last him six days.-San Fran cisco Examiner.

All Paint Is not Paint. Up to

date nothing has been found that will take the place of lin seed oil in the manufacture of paint. The better the oil, the better the paint. If. instead of pure hnseed oil, the manufac- turer used an emulsion of oil, that is mixture of oil and wa ter (they mix oil and water nowadays), he cheapens the cost of production, and makes a mixture that looks like paint, smells like paint, and for that matter tastes like paint; but. when you put it on your house, 1t don't act like paint. But how are you, a layman in the paint business, going to find out before you buy it that it contains water? We give you a hint: Water don't cost as much as oil. So look out for the very cheap paints, they may prove very dear in the end. The. Chil- ton Paints cannot be sold as low as the water paints.
