THE FLYING MACHINE.
4 New Light Upon Very Popular But
 Unsolvod Problem.

New Light Upon Very Popular But
 Unsolvod Problem.
 1t seems to be impossible for any machine, natural or artificial, of greater weight than at most few hundred pounds, to lift itself straight up in the air, or even to maintain itself it the same place like lowering bird. by the force of propellers alone and without the aid of balloon, Therefore, there must be some device other than, or Tn addition to, propellers to raise the ma chine in the act of starting. But ob- serve, l said straight up. Many birds can not rise so. They must rise at very gentle incline. They must get onward motion before their wings can get full effect on the air. 1t is said that the mode of taking the condor is to build 8 pen, say, forty to fifty feet in diameter and six feet high and put a carcass in the middle of it. The condor alights, but can not again rise at an angle which will take him over the fence. Many heavy bodied short-winged ducks rise from the water at so small an angle that they must use both feet and wings for thirty to forty feet in order to get on- ward motion enough to give effective ness to their wings by coming in con- tact witk larger masses of still air, as already explained. It follows, there- fore, that the flying machine mast have some station device to start it. It may be an elevator, but more probably it will be machine rollers on rail way. With @roplane spread and slight ly inclined and propellers directed a little backward, velocity might be got sufficient to sustain and finally with the help of the propellers to raise the machine As far as I can learn, this is l the plan of Maxim.-Prof. Joseph Le Conte, in Popular Science Monthly.

Freaks of Southern sand storms.

Strange freaks are played by wind- blown sands in the New Mexico river valleys and mountain canyons. In the canyons one may see cliffs and natural stone pillars cut into fantastic forms by the natural sand blasts formed by the winds sucking up and down these narrow passes. In broad river valleys, the Rio Grande especially, great areas of sand hills are seen tossed up like giant waves of sea. These shift their position slowly. travelling in the direc- tion of the prevailing winds, until they scatter on the plain or encounter some obstruction, such as a mountain side, against which they heap. Not only valuable lands. but towns may be buried in this invading element. Thus along the Pecos river, at distances from twenty to forty miles below the town of Eddy, in southeastern New Mexico, there are five old deserted pueblos or villages built by ancient agricultural Indians, which, it is estimated, once contained a population of from ten thousand to fifteen thousand people.
 Now the villages are nearly buried in sand blown from the hills that bound the valley. Vestiges of a canal to these towns have been discovered leading |-f,,<a,ua canuan near bv " Which once fur

An old man named Thomas Waters

He had riding-horse and pack

but went out about 100 yards after

That Ferguson Mining Sale Didn't Co.

That Ferguson Mining Sale Didn't Go
From the Phoebe Record of the 4th
we take the following:
Saturday evening S. T. Godbe, and
Messers Wunsch, and Smith, the ex-
perts who went down to Ferguson early
last week to examine the Monitor and
Jim Grow mines, returned here on
their way back to Denver. They re-
manned over Sunday assaying a num-
Der of the samples brought up and
Monday left for Denver, Mr.. Godbe
accompanying. 1t was reported that
the gentlemen thought well of the prop
critics and were willing to take them,
but on terms materially different to
what the owners offer. Exactly what
their offer was it not known but it is
said to be that they were willing to
put up money to bring in water, build
reduction works and set to work good on
a good basis, the two properties to be
consolidated and the capital stock to
be divided between the purchasers and
the mine owners.
Mr.. Godbe will return again In
about three weeks with other parties
from New York. 1t appears he was
on his way,there when Messrs. Wunsch
and Hussey became interested at

water and food. I was soon back and
gave him some brandy and cup of
tea with a biscuit. It was the first
bite or cup except snow that had pass
ed his lips for nights and g days.
His toes are somewhat frozen; but l
think, not seriously. He says he is feel
ing well now, except his feet. He is
81 years old. It is wonder he sur
vived so long. He was not over three
miles from the well when we found
him.

same; and if such entries are not made
in the record book everything done at
such special meeting must be held alb
solutely void for want of jurisdiction,
because jurisdictional facts of tribunals
of special or limited jurisdiction must
appear on its records.
The records of the proceedings of
the Board of County Commissioners
brought up by the respondents, by way
of return to the writ issued in the
case, among other things shows the
following: "Board of County Commits
sioners met October 2, 1898, and after
certain business adjourned sine die.
There is nothing in the record that
would indicate or impart information
to any taxpayer of Washoe county,
that the board intended to meet on
the 9th of November for the purpose
of transacting any business, and when
it adjourned without date on the I'd
day of October, 1898, it could not
meet again as Board of County Com
missioners until the first Monday in
January, 1894, without pursuing the
courseas provided for in Section 1915.
The next record we have of the
proceedings of the Board reads as
follows: "At.a meeting of the Board
Ct County Commissioners of Washoe
county, held November 6, 1898, the
following order was made: Washoe
county, to G. G. Powning Dr., for
money advanced and agreed to be adj
vanced on account of celebration of
the Fourth of July at Reno, 1898,
and for decorating county bridge and
streets with bunting and other en-
blems, 81, 900. This claim is sub
scribed and sworn to by G. G. Pown-
ing and allowed by a majority of the
Board of Commissioners.
The record before us fails to show
that the meeting held on the 9th day
of November, 1898, was either an ad-
iourned or a special meeting, and the
record being silent, we must presume
that it was neither one nor the other,
and that the board, as board, had
no authority to meet and transact any
business on that day. 1t is an easy
matter for the Boards of Commission
ers of the several counties, if the bust
ness of the county should require
weekly or monthly meetings, for them
to instruct their clerks to enter an
order in their proceedings adjourning
over from week to week or month to
month, as business may require, and
at such adjourned meetings they can
transact any business that might have
been transacted at regular meeting,
of which it is but the continuation.
Being fully satisfied that the law
has not been complied with, we there
fore decide that the proceedings of the
Commissioners had on the 9th day of
November, 1898, in attempting to
allow the claim in question, was fa-
tally defective for want of jurisdic-
ton, and must be quashed, and it is
so ordered.

point.
The reported sale of these proper
ties for $3.50, 900 in the issue of the

take. The report, however, is not
likely to detrimental as change of
ownership will no doubt soon take
place.
