to Show at the Fair.
An air ship which its owner saws

at Kansas City and will be sent TO
Chicago to be placed in the worlds

inventor says it will be much like a
side wheel steamer. The frame work
will be OF rattan and aluminium. To
assist In keeping the ship suspended
in mid-air there will be a large cigar
shaped buoyancy chamber of a
nished linen filled with hydrogen gas.
Underneath will be suspended the
car, which will contain the steering
and propelling apparatus, and in
which there will be room for three
persons. The weight of the car and
a forty foot keel will maintain the
ships equilibrium. On each side of
the a there will be a wing, divided
into four sections. These will have
a striking motion like the wings of q
bird. Power will be furnished by
electricity, and each section of the
wings will revolve thirty-five times
each minute. BY means of an
eccentric wheel the wings can be
made to strike in any direction, and
thus the ship will be guided as well
as propelled by the wings. An
electric motor especially designed by
Nj. Kellogg will combine lightness
and power.

Heavy Cars the Most Safe.

Every commercial traveller has an
opinion of his own as 10 that position
which makes a . the safest one in
a train. Some of them hold that it 10
the one next the baggage car; the ma
jority maintain that the center of the
train is the least dangerous. while there
are still individuals, in the minority,
to be sure. who favor the rear car.
These opinions have have been gain.

experience in railroad wrecks, OF

tain sections of the country. As such
they are entitled TO consideration, but
the dIssimilar views really 60 TO show
that the position of n q in n train
as regards its greater or less safety 10
a matter of speculation o
Upon one matter, however, all the
travelling men agree, and that is that
no matter what the position OF the car
is, the safest ones of all are the heavy
sleeping, buffet cars and the like.
They are commonly referred TO by the
drummers "as better than an accident
policy" There is every reason for the
holding of this favorable opinion OF
these ears. Their heavier frames and
trucks render their telescopiug a diff
cult matter, and they are less likely to
leave the rails IL a time of collision
than other cars in consequence OF their
greater weight.

Judge Taft's Decision Regarding the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

Judge Taft's Decision Regarding the
brotherhood of Engineers.
Judge Kicks, in the United States
circuit court at Toledo, has rendered
his decision in the cas- Of the Lake
Shore engineers, who, obeying the
laws OF the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, refused to handle
Ann Arbor freight, as there was a
strike On that road. The court held
that Engineer James Lennon, mas
much as he has been twice ordered TO
move the cars by the officials of the
company, and did not do so until
ordered to do SO by brotherhood
officers, after the boycott was raised,
was guilty of contempt OF court.
The eve other men were dis
charged.
The decision Is in line with in
formal talk he gave these men on the
afternoon Of their arrest, but which
was misconstrued widely into a
declaration that a man can be COM
PEELED to work though he desires to
quit his employers service. The de-
%cision, briefly, is that a man may
quit work when he shall choose, If he
quits in good faith; but an engineer
out on a run must complete his run
before quitting.
Judge Kicks read Judge Taft's de-
cision in the Ann Arbor injunction
case, in which Chief Arthur, cf the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, is made a party. He decided
that the whole brotherhood was a
conspiracy against the laws of the
country and that inasmuch as Arthur
gave the orders that precipitated the
boycott, an order for a temporary
injunction against Arthur as prayed
for was allowed.

Life Began at the POLES.

As a matter OF fact this earth OF
ours has long passed its youth. Ii Is
row verging On old age, and. with its
poles covered with everlasting ice, IL
may be iikened TO a body whose
extremities are belched and paralyzed
with years. Even in the geological
period which Immediately preceded
our own. and which Is known as the
postpliocene, or q~uarternary, great
changes took place, and man has been
a witness to them. The rivers CT to-
day are mere brooks compared 10
what they were then, and in North
America we can trace the shore lines
OF immense q~uarterDary lakes which
no longer exist. But while this fact
may interest and perhaps surprise
US a little, il does not tax our
credulIty so much as when We are
told that once, instead OF snow and
ice, a IuxRriant vegetation fOurished
not far from the poles. Indeed, the
French naturalist, Button, believed
that on u planet, which was slowly
cooled and consolidated, life began al
the poles; and that from thence it
spread in the direction OF the tropics,
where at first the heat was too intense
to admit OF any kind OF life. But it
is only within recent years that we
have been able to get a glimpse Of the
ancient arctic zone, which is much
more accessible than the antarctic,
and what has thus far been brought
to light makes Buttons daring con-
lecture appear not so yery improb-
able.
In Spitzbergen and Greenland, in
Alaska along the banks OF the Mac
kensie river, even in Grinnell Land.
between so and So deg. north latitude
the farthest point yet reached
fossil plants have been found belong
ing to the carboniferous, jurassic,
cretaceous and tertiary periods, and
these plants have been described by
Prof. Oswald Heer of Zurich in his
admirable work-''FIora Fossils
Artica." The fossils sequoias Of
Grinnell Land bear an unmistakable
resemblance to the living seGuoias OF
California, while the fossil laurel
Taurus primogenia Of ancient Green
land, is said to be a direct ancestor Of
the present laurel. The cold which
overwhelmed the ancient polar re-
gions is not arrested in its progress;
the cause which first brought it on is
still at work. Our sun is becoming
more and more condensed. and by
by it will no longer find in the con
traction Of its diameter a source
sufficient to keep up its energy, and
with the extinction of the sun our
earth must perish. The approach Of
this deadly world chill is infinitely
slow-so slew that history takes no
note Of it: but in time the now
crowded, busy portions Of the earth
must meet the fate Of Greenland and
Spitzbergen. This day is still buried
in the distant future; but, far off as
it is, the lesson OF the past tells that
1T is coming.-Catholic World.
