place whore BALLS woolly Horse OF .
quarter OF century ago WAS lsssoed. sev-
srsl years since he turned his attention to-
ward tho problem OF human flight, and he
very properly asked himself whether. II It
was worth mans while to fly at all. It was
not desirable to do the thing elegantly.
why should man make his way laboriously
through the air with the tapping OF wings.
hon fashion, by great muscular EFFORT, or
with the puflng Of steam or the buxsing OF
electricity. when the natural and grace
full way was simply to soar With the OBJ
vious reply In his mind. Hermit CREssLER
fell to dissecting hawks. and he discovered
that man is but hawk in store clothes and
without pinions. The problem. therefore.
was to supply the human bipcd with wings.
and 90 to adjust them that his flying mus
cles could act properly and easily upon
them. This is the work which MIR. CREss-
TER has Just finished. and notwithstanding
the simplicity Of the problem. no Is to be
congratulated.
Mr.. CRKssLER's soaring suit. like the per-
feet corset is glove-ftting. His only fear
"a to the universal adoption Of II Ia that
ANTHONY CoMsrocK may interfere. Encased
in 1t. he rises as ensily o. he lights. He
sbrcads his wings and the wind does the
rest, or II there is no wind he can do 1t him
self. Gales have no terrors for him; ike
the Grayesend fishermen. the more wind
there is the moro sail he spreads and tho
better he goes to windward. To watch Mr..
CREss1.ER soaring must DO pleasure next
to soaring ones self.
Starting with graceful sweep on tho
edge Of an aerial circle. he gltdes up the
atmospheric incline. Then fitting his
wings, no revcrses the double limo OF beauty
from tip to tip and completes tho circle. Dor
ing his way still deeper into the fathomless
blue. A CLINT OF sunlight on the lining OF
his pinions shows that he has begun another
round Of the ascending spiral. Poised on nm
invisible fulcrum. he swings onward and
upward. Now strong puff OF wind catches
him under tho left wing. With muscular
twitch he takes advantage OF this and
mounts toward tho zenith until he becomes
a mere speck on the blue concavc. With
straining eyes this speck Is followed
through few more circles Of constantly
lessening diameter. and Mr.. CREssLER Is
out Of sight.
For tho foregoing facts In regard to the
first perfected flying machine. IL those
words may be applied to so simple device.
VIC arc indebted to q despatch sent from
Kngwood West Virginia. on the latest
birthday Of tho man who could not tell q lie.

A Jewish PLAINTIFF Wins Ilis Case Against
the Russian Government.

In the Eopo~i OF St. Petersburg there Ia report OF
recently settled In the courts there. in which
Jewish plaintiff. Dr. Roche. has gained suit that he
brought agains the Ministry OF the Interior for dam
ages to the amount Of %. 532 rubles S13 2bI.
The details OF the case arc printed in full by the
Norn. It appears tina, in the year 1888 tho mineral
springs Of Stnvaa Russia In the province OF SovROrod
were leased for the term OF twenty-five years to Dr.
Roche who appointed to the office OF manager and
chief physician These mineral springs owing to their
curative properties. are favorite resort OF health
seekers and largely pa;ronzed both by Russians
and foreigners that DR.. Rochel derived handsome
income from them. Within the past few years the
term OF Dr. Rochers lease approaching Its end.
many OF the visitors to the resort sent notice to the
Ministry OF the Interior complaining tibet the manager
would spend single copeck In keeping 1t in repair
and in good order So numerous these plants
that the Ministry was compelled to notice them.
At last in May Of 1890 two years before the cxpira.
ton OF the term of lease IL determined to remove
Or. Rochel from the management. and he was conso.
quently removed by official order. Thereupon he
began suit against the Ministry OF ths Interior for
breach of contrac: and for damages the amount OF
20 132 rubes The Court. after due consideration OF
the judzmsnt In favor OF Dr. Rochel for tho
whole amount of the claim with costs ThereupOn tho
Ministry fed it's application In Court OF Appeal for
the reversal OF this decision and the was argued
in behalf OF the Government by tho most
distinguished lawyer of St Petersburg Privy-
Counc,lo P:uschik. piuschewsxy. The Privy.Coun.
cilor In arguing for the reversal. maintained
that the plaintiff sued not for reinstatement but for
damages. judgment in his favor would be equivalent
TO bringing question the authority Of the Minister to
close for example. drug stores and other like places
which failed to comply with sanitary laws. lie also
maintained that the mineral springs resort Ind boon
50 grossly neglected by Dr. Rochei that tho amount OF
money needed for its repair far surpassed the amount
claimed damages by the plaintiff After listening to
these and other arguments the Court OF Appeal con-
armed the decision OF the lower court and also award
ed to the plaintiff the costs Of the appeal
The Minister OF the Interior who was the defendant
in this case is called the "Vre'Czar" in Russia

1t is surprising that any ships go to the
Brazilian port OF Santos in these times. The
ravages Of the yellow fever there. even at this
period Of the year. have hardly ever been sur
passed by It's rnvages anywhere. and for
months past we have had reully horrible ac-
counts Of the way in which 1t has destroyed
lfo on the ships In the port. In scores OF cases
the pestilence hns appeared aboard ships al-
most rs soon as they reached tho wharvcs: it
has ragged rs freely in tho officers quarters as
in tho forecastle. md many ships havo been
unable to leave port because tho whole OF their
crew was stricken with 1t. An ordinary case
is that OF tho ship Java. about which
an officer aboard another ship at Santos
writes: Il buried the Captain OF tho Java
last night: that now makes Captain. mate. Sec
ond mate. carpenter. snilmakcr. four boys.
and six able seamen. nil dead We cannot tell
how many other reports OF this kind have
been sent from Santos since the beginning OF
tho present winter. Tho pestlence is bad
enough at other BRAZILIAN ports: but it is the
worst ut Santos. Three or four hundred Of
the inhabitants Of the city perish bv 1t and are
thrown into trenches every week: and it looks
as though the place would DO depopulated.
The rich people fed to the mountains long
ago.
1t is not safe to permit ships. or even Brazil
ian products Of any kind, to come into our
ports from Santos.

Tho people Of Australia. according to an
Australian writer In the Nineteenth Century. are
taking on airs, are striking out for indepen-
dent Australianism. and are anxious to get
rid OF English domination. Formerly they
spoke affectlonately OF England as the Old
Home but now they speak OF II sarcastically
or contemptuously. Well. all this is natural.
so to speak. Australia Ia growing strong: 1t
is becoming ropulous; 1t Is acquiring the
spirit Of nationality: H. Is getting to dislike
British supervision: It is preparing for indc-
pendence and freedom.
It is curious that thers is so little Of this
praiseworthy and elevated spirit In the Cana
dim possessions OF Great Britain. 1t is
curious that there is 80 much babble about
loyalty in those popuous but subject prov
inces that lie north OF this country and stretch
from tho Atlantic to the Pacific. But we will
doubtless behold the development OF freedom.
