we get the skill to direct this power we shall
be able actually to fly. As Prof. Langley points
out, it seems at first incredible that any practi-
cal obtainable power can make the yiewless air
support dense body like brass or steel and
cause it TO run rapidly and securely along upon
the thin element. Nevertheless he and others
have seen it done, and hence it seems 10 them
that such matter as mechanical flight ought
not to be left to the opprobrium which past
mistaken efforts and consequent failures have
brought on it. but that it should be reinvesti-
gated by scientific methods.
ON NATURES PLAN.
Prof. Langley contends that as yet we are far
from having penetrated the whole of ma ture s
secret. Many living machines are at
this moment being built in entire ignorance
Of that secret, and the best in partial Ignorance,
for the wisest at present know but n
part OF what remains to be learned. Those are
probably nearest to success. he thinks. who
have so far built on natures plan as to use rigid
supporting surfaces. but have added a fund
Of power in a different form from hers
that of engines and prorellors. But it
is one thing to have sufficient power to fly and
another to be able to use it. 1t is not so much
the power the skill to guide it that we lack.
What has not been demonstrated is that we can
guide such machines Alright in horizontal
path and that we can descend with safety in
them. That is the next thing to do. The
problems of guiding. steering, balancing and
controlling will first have to be solved. That
done. We shall hy.
And yet, despite all difficulties, both antici-
pa.ed and unforeseen, Prof. Langley is firm in
the belief that the method or principle of
mechanical fight which he favors will soon be
put in practice. So rapid Just now is
the progress in mechanical construction
and invention that it seems to him prob
able that before the century closes shall
see the universal road of the al!-embracing
air Travelled in every direction. with an effect
on some OF the conditions OF orr existence that
will make this aerial locomotion one Of the
chief wonders the century has seen.
Less than six years and half remain for this
To be accomplished before Ammo Domini 1000
shall have arrived

1t will not only give biographical sketches

Dear, precious hands, that more than four
score years
Have toiled for others, soothed the hurt of
tears,
Rocked chiIdrens cradles, eased the fever's
smart,
Dropped balm of love in many an aching
heart,
Now stir1ess, folded like wan rose leaves
pressed,
Above the snow and silence of her breast,
From her brow the lines of care swept
AS if an angel kissed her while she slept,
And the cobweb wrinkles smoothed away,
And gave her back the peace of chi1dhood's
day;
And on the lips the faint smile almost said,
Weep not, dear. chi1dren I'm not dead,
But gone before, the dear loved ones to greet,
And to rest in heaven my weary feet.

you join the army merely to get some
thing to eat Z"
"WaIl, that's about the size of it. "
"Here," calling an officer, s'give
this man something to eat, and then
have him shot.
The officer understood the joke and
replied
ssAll right, General"
The Arkansas man, exhibiting nc
alarm, said
'sBile me ham, cap'n, stew up

A Virginia paper, in 4 recent issue,

The old county records Of Fairfax
show that the Father Of his Country
was several times indicted By the
grand jury Of that county, which was
no respector of persons. AT one time
it brought two indictments against
himon for not entering bis lands
for taxation according to law, and an
other for not entering tswheeled car
riages" for taxation. At another term
he was indicted for failure to keep the
roads on his estate in good condition.
The same grand jury found these In
dictments: eve present Robert Mills
of Doeg Run, of Truro parish, for
not attending his parish church within

The Last plea TO- silver.

'Tis the last plea for silver,
Left stranded alone;
All its early companions
Have sold out and gone;
No friend has the metal,
No statesman stands by,
To reflect back its luster,
Or its foes to defy.
III not leave thee thou lone one,
To sleep in the mine;
III exalt thee and praise,
And will call the divine;
/ will sound all thy praises,
/ will hail thee as king,
Till the world shall restore thee
And thy praises shall sing.
And whatever may follow,
When friendships decay,
Though despair chills the merchant,
And mines cease to pay;
When true hearts have withered,
And credit has flown,
III plead justice for silver
Till the last quarters gone.

One Of the sharpest advertising
schemes that have appeared lately is
that reported to have been operated
by German publishing house. After
putting novel on the market, they
caused to be printed in the leading
newspapers a notice to the effect that
wealthy nobleman had said that Il
he could find woman like the hero
inc Of that book he would marry her
out of hand. This, of course, awoke
the curiosity of all the women, espe-
cially the unmarried ones, that saw
the notice, and an enormous demand
for the book arose at once. All the
women wanted to see what this hero
inc was like.
