Once upon time there was a man
and Il woman who planned 10 90. ana
spend the day at the house OF a
fr end some miles away from their
own So, one pleaSa Z morning, they
started out 10 make the visit; but be-
fore they had gone far the women re-
membeIed a very old bridge they had
TO cross, which was said to be not
very safe, and she Immediately began
TO worry about it.
"Nhat shall we dc about that
bridgc?" said she TO her husband.
IL shan't dare TO go over IT, and we
can't get across the riveri In any other
wav."
"Oh," said the man. II forgot that
bridge il is bad place. Suppose IL
should .break through and we should
both fall into the water and be
drowned"
"Or even," said the wife, suppose
you should step on rotten plank and
break your leg; what would become
of me and the baby"
II don't know" replied the man,
"what would become OF us; /
couldn't work and we should all
starve 10 death"
So they went on worrying and
worry ng till they got to the bridge,
when, 10 and behold. they saw that
since they had been there last new
bridge had been built, and they
crossed over it in safety. and found
that they might have spared them.
selves all their anxiety.
Now, that is Just what the pro-
verb means: "Never cross bridge
till you come TO it," Never waste
your worrying on what you think may
possibly be going TO happen.

edge in this, as In every other direc.

by experiment Theory may suggest
but trial only can prove. Among the
most promising experiments IN flight
that have lately been undertaken are
those OF Mr.. Lilienthal. a German,
who has devised an apparatus by the
aid OF which, on modest scale, he
can initiate the soaring Of bird.
Mr.. Lilientha begins by observing
that wind blowing over plain
tends slightly TO rise, the average
upward inclInat on being about three
degrees lie ascribes this To the
friction Of the moving air against the
ground which causes the lower air TO
be heaDed up. A bird could not
soar, he thinks, but for the uplifting
power OF the wind
Having made this observation, Mr..
Lilienlhal contrivcd system OF

take ad vantage OF the buoyant power
OF moving air. The instantaneous

soaring near Berlin look somewhat
like pictures OF gigantic butterfly
His wings made OF strong silk
stretched on frames, are slightly
concave underneath, and their total
spread Is equal TO about 100 sluare
feet.
He Goes not undertake to llaE
them, which indeed he could not dc
as they are liked in their outsprcad
position. Having properly adjusted
the apparatus he selects slight elc-
walton, as the slope OF small hill,
runs few steps against the wind,
and then jumps up ntO the a r. The
wings Immediately begin to sustain
him and slide along upon the

soaring as far as 800 feet from the
starting point
Just as skater acquires with
practice the ability TO guide his
course in intricate turnings; and 10
erform feats that would have

first put~Jn skates, so Mr.. Lilienthal
has gradually gained considerable
degree OF mastery over his soaring
apparatus, so that by shifting his
center OF gravity in particular ways,
he can move faster or slower and
change his direction

A Novelty In COunterrcit Coin.

There has lately been very wide
circulation OF counterfeit coin in
American cities, notably In New York,
where the conductors on the street
railway cars are sa d to have had
spurious dollars, half dollars, quarters,
dimes and 5-cent pieces returned to
them by the management OF the line,
to make good, In unprecedented
quantities. In some cases the
one day has reached To 81 Or ~.
There appears to have been similar
activity on the part o the counter
feiters in the city OF Berlin, where a
singular fact has come To light 1t
appears that a German coiuer has
succeeded In putting into circulation
throughout the city a large number
of l-mark ieces which have the Pc
culiarity OF being actually OF more
value, regarded as silver coins, than
the genuine mark p eces issued by
the statc. Their color, their ring"
and their stamping are all so like the
real art Gle that only very practiced
eye can detect them. Their only
raulus are that they feel little
greasy, and that edges OF the letters
in their inscriptions are not quite so
precisely finished as those on the
genuine coins. The remarkable
thing about them Is that while the
real mark equal TO - centS) Is, in
the present state OF the silN er market,
only 81 picnnigs, the imitatiol 1 marks
are each worth 40 pc nigS.
