When Shall We Fly,

Hiram S. Maxim reports on our
progress in aerial navigation. He de-
scribes what has been done, explains
that his experiments have been much
delayed by his long absence from
England, but says that he has now
got a grip on the air many times
greater than has ever been obtained
before. If his large aeroplanes can
be made to lift one-half as much in
proportion to the power consumed as
the small ones did in previous expert
ments, he says he will have sufficient
power not only to make the machine
rise in the air, but to carry a consid-
cradle load besides. He thinks he
has now proved that it is possible to
produce a really powerful and relia-
BILE motor well within the limits of
weight. and that if he does not sue
coed some one else will, and that at
no distant date. He is inclined to be.
lieve that naphtha is the motor that
is destined to carry us through the
clouds, nor does this seem vain hope
if it be true, as he says, that a
naphtha motor could be constructed
which would develop 100 horse-pow
and not weigh more than 500 pounds.
Mr.. Maxim mentions that he has
been told by Russian that the Car
has spent 100000 out of his private
purse on the aeroplane system, but
without any success as yet.

Gold Nuggets.

One of the largest and most re-
markable shaped nuggets ever found
was discovered in an Australian mine
in 1857. 1t was fat and almost the
exact counterpart in contour Of a
colossal human hand held open, with
the exception of the thumb and fore.
finger, which were closed together in
a manner so as to make it appear
that the thumb was holding the fin.
ger in place. It's greatest length was
twelve and a half inches. 1t was OF
the very pureSt gold, with but a lit.
tie of foreign substances adhering
(mostly between the "fngersO, and
weighed six hundred and seventeen
ounces. The famous LADY Brassey'
nugget, also found in Australia,
weighed flfty-one pounds Of pure
gold, worth 1926 per pound. In 1891
O nugget Of fifteen pounds weight
shaped exactly hike cross, with the
exception Of the right arm, was dis
covered in the Buriss mine near the
same place.

A Great Document.

Under the caption "a Great Docu-
ment," the Courier Journal says :
.fLike everything emanating from the
pen of the president, the message
bears the impress Of strong and
earnest mind. 1t is marked BY ex-
ceeding clearness Of expression and
thorough directness of purpose.
Whilst there is an obvious avoidance
of the arts of phrase-m makers, in which
Mr.. Cleveland can on occasions treat
message with the best of them.
there is a well-rounded compactness.
both of thought and diction, which
heightens its tone and increases its
weight. In all the discussions of the
Sherman act we know of nothing
which puts the case against it SO for
chilly. One cannot read it without
Increase respect for a man So straight
forward and courageous. Nobody can
gainsay the array of facts, or answer
the argument of this message. From
beginning to end it is equally true in
Its presentment of the state Of the
country and the cause Of the dis
temper, and wise in its recommenda-
tion of its remedy. The purchase
clause must 60; it must 90 uncondi.
fionally; it must go promptly. Those
senators who undertake to impede its
going will dig their own graves. If
this could he brought about by the
first of September the busy season
would open with hopes of good time
ahead. If it is INSTRUCTED many sen.
atorial heads will go In the basket be-
fore the winter is over. Touching the
tariff, the president speaks in no un,
certain toue. Here the message is all
that the most ardent sdmirer Of rev
enue reform could desire or ask. 1t
removes any doubt that may have
been created By the artful rDlsrepre-
ssntation Of the protectionists as to
Mr.. Clcreland's position and inter.
tons.

Bile Details Of the Disaster Sharks
Leap over Each Other 10 Snatch
Their Prey
SAN Francisco, Aug. II Further
particulars of the burning of the
steamer Don Juan, off the Chinese
coast, were received here today. The
Spanish steamer Don Juan left Hong
Kong for Manila with 4 full crew and
all the Chinese that could be slowed
away in the vessel. Thirty miles off
Daregayes point fire was discovered
in between decks. 1t soon spread to
1000 cases OF petroleum and then all
hope of saving the ship was abandon
ed. Two life boats were destroyed
by the flames and the others we're cap
sized by the Chinese and the sharks
made short work of these, and Ia this
manner the second engineer, quarter
master, steward and second officer lost
their lives.
On the FIRE being discovered almost
all the Chinese ran up the rigging and
other high places. As the fire increas-
ed in intensity the poor wretches drop
ped on deck and into the fire.
Others jumped overheard and were
devoured by sharks. Those who
reached one of the boats filed it to
excess and the sharks leaped into the
air TO snatch their prey. The panic
was fearful.
The Chinese huddled together and
filed the air with their means. The
fore and after parts of the burning
vessel were full of people implorng
assistance, and the central portion of
the vessel was like the crater of vol
Jcano.
Sharks came in droves and hun
dreds of them could be seen around
the steamer. A fireman succeeded in
reaching one of the overturned boats
and righting her. He then went to
the others and managed to get two
more of them on an even keel. They
were all kept at a distance and every
body who wanted to get into them
had to run the gauntlet of sharks.
In this way ninety-eighr persons escap-
ed and reached the shore after sixteen
hours of hard rowing.
They at once telegraphed for assist
anee and the San Antonio was sent
out. When she reached the derelict
three Chinese, more dead than alive,
were found in the rigging, the masts
were of steel, and this made the total
saved 101. Including the officers and
crew there we're 283 people on board,
50 that the sharks and flames must
have devoured 1872. The Don Juan
was towed into Manila still on fire.
