The Problem of Aerial NaViga-

The Problem of Aerial Naviga-
ton.
In the absence of any government
or concerted effort the Cosmopolitan
Magazine has determined to attempt
the solution of the problem of aerial
navigation, and under its direction a
series of experiments will be made
which it is hoped will be brought to a
satisfactory conclusion.
PROFESSIONALLY, the greatest me-
! chanical problem unsolved is that OF
aerial navigation. When one consid-
ers the far-reaching effect which it
would have upon the civilization of
the age, and the benefits which would
accrue to mankind, the wonder is that
the affair has not been ere this serious
ly studied by some of the governments
of the world. The Cosmopolitan does
not enter lightly upon this undertak-
ing. A portion Of the plans to be put
into execution, were submitted to the
French government by a member OF
| the Cosmopolitan staff, as long ago as
| 1867. There are undoubtedly great
difficulties in the way, but the attempt
| will be steadfastly pursued by the
Cosmopolitan under the direction OF
the ablest scientists whose aid can be
! obtained, until success is secured,
even if it has to be carried on through
a series of years.
No patents will be applied for as
the result of inventions made. II
success crowns the work, the result
will belong to the public.
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison in response
to an offer by The Cosmopolitan Of
800 per hour for services in consulta.
ton said: "This matter is of so great
interest to the public that I freely give
my services without pay-and the Use
of my labratory too, if you need it fol
experiments" The services of Prof
| King of Philadelphia, who has made
more than three hundred ascensions
and is recognized as the most expert
enced living aeronaut, have been en-
gagged as advisor in practical aeronaut
les. The supervision of the engineer
| ing work and mechanical construction
has been entrusted to Captain Levi:

But two men in this wide and pros
porous county have had their bowels
of compassion touched by the famine
in Russia. They are O. E. Carpenter
and A. B. Campbell of the town of
Otrey, who have notified this paper
that they were ready to contribute
each sack of wheat as proposed.
The proposed 100 sacks from this
county are now only SO short. Orion

Wasting His Breath.

Out at the ball grounds small boy
who occupied pew in the bleachers said
funny thing. One Of the Albany play,
ers was at the bat, and after couple OF
balls and a strike had been called on
him he hit a long foul to right field. he
at once started for first base, and with
head down plunged along in the same
way that steer is supposed to run
through the corn. The small boy over
in the bleachers watched him for min
ute and then yelled out at the top Of
very shrill and squeaky voice: 'Say,
Gully, come back. You're working over
time"-ROcheste Democrat.

At the recent election in Ortonville
W. G. Whiteman, editor Of the Her
arld-Star, was a candidate for mayor
but was defeated by his opponent, N.
Schoen, by 6 votes. Probably the
voters labored under the impression
that being editor of the official paper
and also mayor ofthe city was too
much honor for one man to stand I'M
der. But we are sorry Whiteman was
not elected for the reason that we ex-
pect to visit Ortonville next summer
and take in the beauties of Big Stone
Lake and its surroundings and should
expect him to grant us "the freedom

Toledo Blade: David B. Hill thinks
that Cleveland will decline to allow
his name to come before the National

to resign from the senate and ask

Beware of OintmentS for Ca

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the

The Wheel Is Thousands of Years Old.
The earliest mention of wheels in the
Bible is in Exodus xiv, IS, when the
chariot wheels Of the Egyptians were
taken off by the Lord; but chariots are
mentioned in Genesis xii, 43. But there
were older nations than the Egyptians.
The Chaldeans used chariots; the Greeks
-Homer's poems date from about 900
B. Chad chariots at the siege of
Troy, 1900 B. 9. Probably in reality
the wheel is about as early piece Of
machinery as any now existing. OF
course it has been developed, but the
bicycle wheel of today is lineal de-
scendant of the section of log of wood
used by the agricultural peoples thou
sands Of years ago.-New York Sun.

a Memorable Christmas Dinner.

The misery endured during those four
months at Bonner lake in our little dark
cabins under the snow would fill pages
and make the coolest heart ache. Christ
mas was near, but to the starving its
memory gave no comfort. It came and
passed without observance, but my
mother had determined weeks before
that her children should have treat IN
this one day. She had laid away few
dried apples, some beans, a bit of tripe.
and small piece of bacon.
When this boarded store was brought
out the delight of the little ones knew
no bounds The cooking was watched
carefully, and when we sat down to QUE
Christmas dinner mother said, "Chil-
dren, eat slowly, for this one day you
can have all you wish" So bitter was
the misery relieved by that one bright
day, that have never since sat down to
a Christmas dinner without my thoughts
going back to Bonner lake. y E.
The storms often would last ten days
at time, and we would have to cut
chips from the logs inside which formed
our cabin in order to start q fire. We
could scarcely walk, and the men had
hardly strength to procure wood. We
would drag ourselves through the snow
from one cabin to another, and some
mornings snow would have to be SHOW
eled out of the fireplace before fire
could be made. Poor little children were
crying with hunger, and mothers were
crying because they had so little to give
their children. We seldom thought Of
bread, we had been without it so long.
Four months Of such suffering would fill
the bravest hearts with despair.-Cor

CHICAGO, May 25.-The Chicago Inter
Ocean has the following significant
donble-leaded editorial this morning:
Great efforts are being made to create
the impression in the public mind that
there is an understanding between Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Blaine to the
effect that if the Secretary is candidate
before the Minneapolis convention the
President will not be.
= apparently the friends OF Mr.. Blaine are
irving 10 weaken the hold Of President
Harrison on the delegates pledged 10 MIN
with "a view Of eventually stampeding the
convention TO Mr.. Blaine. The editor Of
the inter Ocean feels authorized 10 say that
there is no such understanding between
the President and Mr.. Blaine; and, in fact,
that there is no understanding whatever
between them in regaad 70 the Minneapolis
convention. Whatever the President may
al one time have thought on this matter,
he now feels that in Justice TO fr ends who
have so cordially and earnestly supported
his candidacy, he could not now withdraw
even though that might be his personal
preference.
IL NAV lust as well be understood that
the contest is 700 FAR advanced Tor the
President to withdraw, ana the name OF
BENJAMIN Harrison will be presented 10 the
Minneapolis convention whether MI

did not in the beginning actually seek re-
nomination, he cannot now, after the favor
