Aerial Navigation.

Among the congresses to be held
in Chicago during the time of the
worlds fair, the one which may have
the most important bearing upon the
future of the human race is probably
that which has been convened for the
purpose of discussing the question of
aerial navigation. Whether the ma
chine which is being constructed at the
Smithsonian institution will be finished
in time to permit of its exhibition has
not transpired; but there will be mod
els by Maxim, the Englishtnan, and
others, which will be entitled to the
respectful consideration of scientists
There are great number Of individu-
al experimenters now trying to solve
this fascinating problem, and by
comparison of notes it may be possible
for them to evolve some system of en-
ulating the winged animals which
glide so easily through the air above
us. It would seem from the progress
which has been made in the last few
years, and from the serious considera-
ton which the subject is receiving
from mechanical experts, that be-
ginning in this method of travelling
will be made before many more years
have gone by.

A NOTED japanese artist, K. Mori-
mo.o, who recently arrived in Chicago
with his wife, is said to be the first of
his profession to visit America from
Japan. He has occupied high political
places in his native land, and, being a
gentleman of ample means, he intends
to take house in Chicago, to stay sew
eral years. His principal object in
coming to America, aside from that of
gaining the knowledge which is &C
quired by travel, is to raise the funds
necessary for the establishment of a
school in Japan for deaf and blind
children. Instead of soliciting aims,
Mr.. Morimoto proposes to give series
of entertainments of unique and
pleasing character, for which an ad-
mission fee is charged, the proceeds
to be devoted to his philanthropic
project.

THE WANN DISASTER.
RESULT OF GROSS ENHANCEMENT
BY RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

and inexperienced Crew and Bore the
Reputation Of Being Kindergarten

CHICAGO, Feb 2l.-A report that
will attract widespread attention was
made today by committt Q of the
Illinois legislature to investigate the
terrible Wann railroad disaster on
the Big Four road. The report caused
a sensation in the house and provoked
lively discussion which promises to
result in drastic amendments. The
report says: There was no element of
accident in the killing of twenty
eight persons and the manning of
thirty-two oLhers; it was but the inev.
liable RESULT of mismanagemant of
the road by its officials, showed
absolute Disregard of the safety
of human life and no
reasonable precaution for the protec-
tion of property. AT the fatal collision
the switches were in charge of A. B..
Gatten, barber who had been em.
ployed in the yards only two days
and no evidence shows that he had
any railroad experience, and one John
Ray, farm laborer, who had been an
employe of a railroad only eighteen
days in his life time and that the
keys to the main track switch No. 2,
were put in the hands of Gatten by
James Lyons, man who had been in
the employ of said road only twenty
four days and that witness working in
the yard at the tihle had to enquire
each others name while testifying.
The proof shows that for the last
wo years the road has failed to keep
any crews in said yard long enough
or them to become competent to man

ITS men so often that crews were
always composed of more green and

to keep competent men, but showed a
decided preference for green men
