MAXIM'S NEW {
A. Fort HI the Air Which Would Cost =
Fortune, but End q War.

A. Fort III the Air Which Would Cost =
Fortune, but End a War.
The celebrated inventor CT tho Maxim
gun, one Of the most formidable OF
modern weapons, is hard at work, as he
has been for a long time, upon the old
problem of aerial navigation. In one i'm
portant respect Maxim is working on
different and less difficult lines than
those which other inventors have tried
to follow. They have aimed at the de-
vising Of flying machines which coEld
be operated ct q cost not too great to ad-
NIT Of their use il the ordinary bust
ness affairs of lie. The inventor Of the
Maxim gun, however, is very appropri-
ately working, primarily, to produce a
machine which can be used in warfare.
For this purpose it is not at all neces-
sary that the expense of air navigation
should te low enough to bring it within
reach of commerce or travel. What he
is aiming at is the creation of a new
and terrible engine of war, and every
body knows that the great powers Of
Europe take little account of cost when
they are dealing with the ornaments
which they regard as essential to their
very existence.
If a flying machine or airship car
be invented which will be efficient IN
ordinary weather and will enable tie
power possessing it to attack the for
tresses and camps of its enemies from
above, there will be a mad rush to Oh.
tain plenty of the new engines of dc
struction, no matter how much they
may cost to build and operate. The pic
ture Of wholesale destruction which is
held up before the military mind when
an inventor talks Of pouring dynamite
shells down upon a beleaguered fortress
from O great height and thus blow it
into atoms, without risk or possible de-
Tense, is too attractive to permit money
to stand in the way at all. Perhaps we
shall see that wonderful dream of the
| poet come true which is told in the
lines:
Hear the heavens I'll with shouting, and there
raincd g CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies graphing in the
central blue.

NY SWEETHEART.
The cameras lens was opened;

The cameras lens was opened:
A vision quickly passed
In through the lifted shutter,
Which closed and held it fast.
Although twas but an instant
By some mysterious art
The camera drank its beauty,
And treasured it at heart,
And wrote the vision down
With all its charming grace,
And gave to me a copy
1t was my sweetheart's face.
So here it is before me-,
Pertaining all the room
Among sweet wild ros blossoms
Which never cease to bloom.
a picture and a frame
Which sweetest. who can tell,
The frame of June's fresh roses
That from the magic spell
Of her def touch drew life,
Ana seeing her blushed pink,
Or her own pretty likeness
Of whom it's sweet to think?
With flowers for a frame
So rare that natures flowers
Would wonder whence they came.

Too SIM all to Notice.

Every one who has ever smade a close
study of Mr.. Reeds characteristics Of
face has noticed that he nourishes a very
small moustache. EVERYTHING about Mr..
Reed is large but the Eirsute ornament
of his upper lip. Yet the man from
Maine is proud of it, like mother of
her puniest offspring.
Once upon time the ex-Speaker was
taking his family to neighboring
town and entered the naturalization to
purchase tickets. He pulled out a large
bill, paid for his tickets and walked
away without taking the change.
He had been seated in the train but a
short time when the conductor APP
approached him.
Ibid you leave your change at the
ticket station?" he asked.
Mr.. Reed suddenly recollected that he
had.
"The ticket agent who sold you the
tickets" said the conductor" described
you as very large man with smooth
face"

"No," said the conductor. she didn't
say anything about a moustache.
uess he didn't see it,
Mr.. Reed thrust his recovered change
into his pocket with pout.
"Confound it," he said to a mem Der
who was listening to the story from his
lips the other day, a man has got to be
as small as Wilson of Washington to
have anybody notice that he's got a
moustache."
