USE Of A FLYING MACHINE,
What Moy Be Gained by the Perfection Of
the Invention.

What Moy Be Gained by the Perfection Of
the Invention.
What important purpose can fight in
air serve? Maxim, Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed of aeriation will
greatly exceed that of any terrestrial
loconotion.
F,som this follows an entire economic
change in the direction Of rendering i'm
mense tracts of comparatively worthless
territory at distances of 30 to 40 miles
froni cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing Of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to large extent accom-
plish what Henry George signs for, but
would do it by means which DO not in
voIre any wrong to the land owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable Of carry
ing unseen at night large quantities OF
explosives to the center of city war
would become SO destructive that it
would be soon snpplanted by arbitra-
ton as matter of common sense and
self preservation.
Arbitration once established, an in
ternational police system controlling ma
lions as we do individuals, and enforc-
Ing the DEGREES of boards Of arbitration,
would be enormously assisted by this
power of rapid and if necessary dastruc-
tive patrolling.
Immense areas of country, now well
nigh impenetrable, would be opened to
usefulness. Large sources of wealth
would thus be added to the civilized
world and would result in the amelio-
ration of the condition of the savages Of
such regions as central Africa.
We should have to give up selfish leg
islation and restriction upon the COM
merce of other nations, and be obliged
perforce to stand on broader her
!tage than that of a nation or of zone. "

OBITUARY..
Thomas W. Meade.

lhohA"S ". ueaQe.
Thomas W. Mead died in this city
Saturday, aged so vars. He was clerk
in the Grand Trunk railroad Office.
Few knew his stoy. He had once been
a man of good position in Ireland and
noted Orangeman. At the height OF his
mower he measured himself against the
uncrowned king" Parnell. He was
finelyeeducated. In business he acqulreu
fortune and invested it in a stock Oh
goods. For years lie was one OF the
magistrates of Newhidge, if the name
is recalled correctly and served, on
the poor board.
He kept his horse for hunting ana
followed the hounds with the gentry OF
his county. In an evil hour for him he
went into politics. A series OF letters
published in the LONDON Times was, 1T
is said ascribed to hin.
He once told Mr.. P;rnell that he was
"a traitor to the Protestant religion and
the Queen of Englanl." That remark
cost him his fortune. His store was boy
cotted and under the ban of the land
league hewas driven from home an exile
Here he lived strange and very
solitary life, making no friends AT the
mention of the namebf Parnell OF the
land league he would become almost wlld
with anger. Outside of that one point,
he was very. pleasant, and at times
eloquent talker, great student, and TO
the last a very benevolent man. He was
at one time much interested IN the Work
of Dwight L. Moody, and later took a
still deeper interest in the Salvation
army, but never ceased to feel that ne
was an exile, and as be once said, was a
SOLITARY man in crowd." He would
seldom talk of himself, and it was only
through years of occaional references TO
the past that the littl known of his life
was ascertained.

HAD the Brooklyn Tabernacle congre-

was discovered there would probably have
been panic and great loss Of life. The
destruction Of the Tabernacle at the time
and in the manner it occurred cannot be
regarded altogether as calamity. When
she possibility of its being sold arose a
fa1y months ago, there was some talk of
turning it into public hall for lectures,
concerts and the like. Its utter unfitness
Cor such a purpose, in view Of It's dangerous
character, is now made fully evident.
