ETERNAL REST.

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free.
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods there be,
That no life lives forever,
That men rise up never.
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to the sea.
Then star nor sun shall waken,
Nor any change of light
Nor sound of waters shaken,
Nor any sound of sight;
Nor wintry leaves nor vernaI,
Nor days nor things dismal;
Only the sleep eternal
in an eternal night.

MONEY is the life preserver OF indus

a sufficient amount to accomplish the

mands fabulous prophets of labor. AS
the purchasing value of money is
measured 10y the selling price Of labor's

always accompanied by cheap labor
and commodities. Doubling the pUr-

established a comfortable lodging
house, to which male dodgers were adj
mitted on the condition that they paid
for the accommodation in work. The

to the lodging house. The result was
that many poor and worthy men were
satisfactorily assisted, while the USE

moment of our spare time to the solu-

in Germany regarded the man who
would waste his energies in such I'M

it could do no harm to amuse myself

ga special commission of experts,
organized by the State, had in fact
laid it down as fundamental princi-

formed were devoted almost entirely
to the interests of ballooning. Ihave

tracted, as a hindrance rather than
help to the development of the art of
fight. If it had never been invented,
it is probable that more serious inves-
LEGATIONS would have been prosecuted
toward other solutions of the prob
lem"
To the conviction that concave or
vaulted wings were ESSENTIAL to success,
Herr Lilienthal was led not only by
the examination of o great variety of
natural wings, and by theoretical de-
duction, but by actual experiment.
The means adopted for this purpose
were ingenious and simple. He fitted
up an apparatus in the form of the
"fyfans" found on the dining tables
of clubs and restaurants, with two
long arms revolving horizontally, to
the ends of which surfaces of different
kinds and degrees Of curvature could
be affixed in any required position,
The motive power was furnished by a
weight and could be exactly measured.
There was also an adjustment which
enabled the observer to measure the
lifting force of various surfaces NOV
ing at different angles of inclination
through still air.
By this means Herr Lihenthal was
enabled to reach conclusions which
were of great value to him in the con-
| struction of his flying machine, and
the most important of them was that
the most effective form of wing was
that whose convexity, as measured by
! the versed breadth of the arc, should
be one.twelfth of the breadth of the
wing, or, of the length of the chord
connecting the opposite edges.
The flying machine devised and now
used by Herr Lilienthal is designed
rather for sailing than for flying in
the proper sense of the term, or, as
he says, "for being carried steadily
and without danger, under the least
possible angle Of descent, against a
moderate wind, from an elevated point
to the plain below. 1t is made almost
entirely Of closely woven muslin,
washed with collodion to render tim
pervious to air, and stretched upon q
ribbed frame of rplit willow, which
has been found to be the lightost and
strongest material for this purpose.
It's main elements are the arched
wings, a vertical rudder, shaped like
q conventional palm leaf, which acts
as q vane in keeping the head always
toward the wind, and fat horizontal
rudder to prevent sudden changes in
the equilibrium. The operator SO ad'
iusts the apparatus to his person that

air is until he feels its supporting
power beneath him. 1t inspires con-
tidence at once. If the wings we're
fiat the speed might be greater, but
the sustaining power would be re-
duced, and the descent would there
fore be more rapid. With arched
wings it is possible to sail against a
moderate breeze at an angle of not
more than six degrees to the horizon.
'"The principle is recognized in the
umbrella form universally adopted for
the parachute. Try to run with an
open umbrella held above the head
and slightly inclined backward, and
see what lifting power it exerts.
Soaring, in the sense of rising against
the wind as the birds do, is possible
only with the dome shaped wings.
The aeroplane, or fiat wing, when in
clined at certain angle to the breeze,
may rise while its momentum contin-
ues, but this once overcome it's power

which is success, The speed is un-

direction of the carriage is easily con-
trolled by a hand wheel. The motor

which enabled bird to sustain itself
without apparent effort in the air, and
even to soar, without a motion Of the
wings, against the wind, like the alba
tross, or sea gull or stork; and this
may be regarded as the most import
ant outcome of Herr Lilienthal's in
vestigations.
CHOW that we possess diagrams"
said Herr LilienthRl to me, (which
plainly illustrates all these phenomena,
it seems quite easy to explain the
flight of birds, for every crow that
flies over our heads offers a practical
solution of the riddle, Recent re-
searches into the laws of atmospheric
resistance lead clearly to the deduction

plest form of wing that would enable
me to sail steadily through the air on
a gentle incline, and by practice TO
master the wind, that hereditary foe
of all aeronauts.
81 adhere firmly to my conviction
that the wings must be slightly con-
cave. This is the fundamental con-
dition of success. The wings which I
now use are in the main segments of q
spherical surface, They are SO con-
struoted that they can be folded to-
gether like the wings Of q bat and re-
quire very little storage room when
not in use.
cit was only gradually that I arrived
at the proper dimensions. Those
which now employ are never more
than twenty-three feet from tip to tip,
and am thus enabled by simple
change Of a posture so TO alter the
position Of the centre of gravity as to
restore the equilibrium.
"rhere are limits also to the breadth
of the wings, or their extension back
ward. The operator must be able in
q moment to transfer the centre of
gravity so far to the rear RS to over
come the action of the air, which
might otherwise tend to throw him for
ward and precipitote him to the earth.
It is not easy to realize in practice at
{ first, but after a short experience the
I movement becomes almost involun-
/ tary."
"But is there not great danger" I
I asked, "of a serious fell in such casesW

SIN my long intercourse with the
air and the winds, in all their varying
phases, I have learned that there is an
extraordinary category of difficulties
to be overcome, In my trials Of wings
moved by the feet, in my attempts to
construct steam flying machines and
in my experiments with mechanical
birds of every description 1 have dis
covered how difficult it is to maintain
a steady position in the air, indepen-
dent of the caprices of the winds. 1,

az am far from supposing that my
wings, although they afford the means
of sailing, and even of soaring in the
air, possesses all the delicate and sub
tie qualities necessary to the perfec-
ton Of the art of fight. But my re-
searches show that it is well worth
while to prosecute the investigations
further, and in the end, perhaps, to
realize the beau ideal Of all modes of
motion and to put it to practical ac-
count"
Having demonstrated the practical
bility of sailing and soaring, Herr
Lllienthal has sought in his recent ex-
periments to reach practical solu-
tion Of the problems OF actual fight.
The first difficulty to be overcome was
the discovery of suitable motor, Herr
Lilienthal conceived the ingenious
idea of employing, as motive force,
the vapor or liquid carbonic acid,
which, under ordinary atmospheric
pressure, boils at q temperature far
below that at which mercury freezes.
The engine devised by Herr Lilien-
thai required no fire, no boiler, nor
steam chest-only diminutive cylin-
der with the requisite valve arrange
ments, which may be readily worked
by hand, and q small reservoir of the
liquid acid lying close beside it.
The engine first constructed was of
two horsepower, with receiver to
contain enough carbonic acid to last
for two hours, and was attached to the
front of the flying apparatus. The
\ whole continuance, with the necessary
machinery to impart motion to the
wings, added less than twenty-five
pounds to the weight, and this will
probably bereduced in future by the use
of some alloy of aluminium instead of
iron in the manufacture of the heav-
Ter portions. The wings were also
fitted with rotary pinions capable of
automatic action under the pressure
of the air. The first experiments with
this apparatus were rather too success
full, at least in demonstrating the
power of the engine. Unfortunately,
the inventor had underestimated the
energy of his motor, which acted with
such unexpected vigor that the wings
were broken, and the notifications
thus shown to be necessary will re.
quire some time for their completion.
1t is only by n series Of trials that
the proper relations between the yari-
GUS parts of the machine can be deter.
mined. Herr Lilienthal confidently
expects, however, eventually to solve
the problem in this way.
