Kites as Flying Machines.

AS is well known, when one flies kite
with n cord holding the kite against tbs
wind, the wind passing on the under side OF
the i;ire strikes it at an angle and raises il
into the air. Ii the wind be blowing mt ?
high vclocity-say 30 miles an hour-tht
kite will lift from one pound to five pounds
per square foot, according to the angle al
which it is held in the air. If the angie
be slight, the amount of strain on the core
necessary to hold it against the wind will
be found considerably less than the weigh
of the Kite and the load which it is able Il
lift, particularly SO if the cord pulls in .
horizontal direction instead Of at an an
gle. 1t is also well known that if u kit,
be propelled in n calm through the air
say at tho rate of 35 miles an hour, the eff
feet is exactly the same. Suppose now, in
stead of the cord for holding the kite
against the wind or for propelling il
against still air, that screw propeller
should be attached to the kite and that il
should be driven by some motor. If tho
screw propeller could be made to give o
push equal to the pull of the kite, and if
the machinery for driving it should be nc
greater than the weight that the Kite
would be able to carry, we would have l.
veritable flying machine. Ameri

den and degrade society and increase the
number of crimes. In the army and navy
soldiers and sailors were fiogged to death,
and everywhere by church and state the
torture of the helpless was practised and
upheld"
Col. Ingersoll also calls attention to the
fact that "only few years ago there were
223 offences punished with death in Eng
land He might have added that
a. no time in its history was crime
more rampant there although about the
busiest man in the whole empire was the
hangman at Tyburn.
The JOURNAL has not hesitated to con-
denim Mr.. Brockway. He represents a
system of prison government that belongs
to the past. A system that has come down
with gradual changes.-in the nature of
grud2ing concessions to human progress
from the Dark Ages, and which is
wholly out of joint with our modern civili-

WOOD ENGRAVING TO DIE.


H. E. Sylvester, the talented engraver,
become a restaurant proprietor on North
street!
"How in the world could you give up
Your art for mere money making en-
terprise?" 1 asked.
"Oh, it wasn't my giving up the art
so much as tho art giving up me and ev-
erybody else in that profession, replied
my genial host, with laugh. Wood en-
craving, like steel engraving, is destined
to become a lost art. l realized that fact
some years ago when mechanical processes
began to displace my work. A first class
engraver in past years earned SO, 500 to
So, 500 year. The price paid simply for
the engraving was from SO to 81 per
square inch.
How do 1 compare half tone with Il
wood engraving: Well, of course the di-
rect product of brain and hand is superior
to mechanical process. The half tone only
tells obscurely how thing looks-it gives
no color, as the term is used in engrav-
ing, nor any texture. 1t does not allow
the direct impact of the mind of the artist
upon the mind of the observer that makes
the charm of art, and it is really only the
chrome of black and white art.
ne llfll tOut, tOc, Will uOuDtlSSo W
superseded by something better. The pho
togravure is really preferable, but it is
more expensive"
What has become of all the wood en-
gravers who have thus lost their vocation?"
l asked.
Well" answered Mr.. Sylvester,
"many have taken up drawing or pen and
ink work, as have George Moulton and
McKeon; some, like Bartle, have turned
painters; others, like Tenney and Philip
Brown are working on half tones; Clos
son is decorating house for a wealthy
man in the suburbs; Kingsley and Cleaves
are making artist proofs for limited
number of special buyers; Cole has been
abroad for n series of years engraving the
works of old masters, a special arrange
ment but don't know how much longer
the arrangement is to last Negrie of New
York" concluded Mr.. Sylvester, with a
laugh lis the only one who, like me, has
gone into the restaurant business He
was established on Seventeenth street at
last accounts.
Many engravers have no work and
nothing to do, but there is still opportu-
nifty for making cuts for advertisements,
tho details of which can only be brought
out by hand. This of course, is a great fall
from artistic work, but they have to take
nything they can get. boston Adver-

Ex-Governor Spraguc of Rhode Island
police of Narragansett Pier
Hon. George NJ Stcarns has sold his
place in Chicopee, Mass, and leased the
estate of Mrs. Mary Wright of Brookline.
He will make the change on account of
his health, at the advice of his physicians.
He will give up all law work and do moth
ing but rest.
1t is announced in London that Harry
McCalmont, the owner of the famous
horse Isinglass, will inherit on Oct. 9,
property amounting to nearly S4,0O0,OO0.
This legacy comes to him under the will of
ii granduncle who died in 1877, since
which time the money has been invested at
compound interest.

A Communication.
g oftbe Kennebec Journal:

Editors cfthe Kennebec journal:
was rather surprised at your taking so
seriously Mr.. Ingersolrs opinion of Mr..
Brockway of the Elmira Reformatory.
Pope Robert speaks with characteristic
vigor." He Arrays does, but as he is a
professional philanthropist, and invariably
speaks with characteristic vigor," it would
be wise to take what he says cum granO
sails. There are some things to be remem-
bered in this connection. Mr.. Brockway is
not Sunday school superintendent. He
has charge of some 1900 young desperadoes.
They cannot all be governed by moral
suasion. The charges against Mr.. Brock
way were taken up by areckless sensational
newspaper. They were investigated by an
unimpeschable commission. They were
not sustained. Mr.. Brockway has the con-
fdence of the best men in Eimira; men
long connected with the reformatory and of
the highest character. There is not a more
honorable highminded humane man in this
country than DR.. William c. Way of
Elmira. He has lived in Elmira for years.
He knows all about the refo,matory and its
management. That h, would defend cruel
ty is simply absurd. He pronounced this
crusade against Mr.. BrockwV malicious
and Ubiquitous. A. SNYDER.

The DuCkhOuse.

Ducks lay the larger portion of eggs
produced by them early in the season and
lay nearly every day. During the summe,
months they reduce the number of eggs
very materially and begin to mott. 1t is
supposed that any kind of quarters will
answer for ducks in summer, but when il
is considered that they do not roost and
are compelled to rest on the floor the i'm
portance of keeping the floor clean and
we'll Uttered with straw is apparent. Near
ly all the ills that affiict ducks are due to
the floors upon which they remain at
night. While the duck delights to have
access to ponds, yet it is quickly affected
by damp quarters, becoming lame and I'm
able to walk. If they are laying but few
eggs, it is best to turn them on grass and
use no grain, and they will keep in excel
lent condition. They are greedy feeders
and will accept food at all hours, becom
ing too fat This condition in summer il
not desirable. They should receive but
little grain unless they arc laying, and
the grain should be given only to the ones
that are producing ggs.-Mancheste'

The Prices of tho Columbian Stamps.

The entire set of Columbian stamps con-
sists of a l, 2, g. 4. 8, 6, s, 10, Is, 80 and
so cent, and a 81, 80, 49, "a and S. stamp.
The cost of the set, when new, last year
was $17.32. OF these under the 10 cent
the only one that is worth anything when
Cancelled is the cent, which will bring .
cents. The Is cent stamp and those above
it are worth just about their face value.
The uncanceled stamps command slight
premiums above their face value. The 20
cent used stamp is worth more than the
same denomination unused. 1twould not
be well, however, for any one with new
stamp to get it Cancelled, for it is much
easier to cancel a stamp than to erase the
cancellation. 1t must be borne in mind
that the figures given ;.bove are only aver
age prices, says Colleen Days. Many deal
ers hold the stamps athigher prices, while
some claim that they are not worth as
much.

Eyading the Card Tax.

The treasury department recently
ruled that packs of cards known as ''old
maid" authors and similar games
which are played with cards other than
the regular pasteboards used in dupli-
cate whist, euchre and occasionally
seven up and poker are Ut subject to the
2 cent duty. Accordingly some wise
manufacturer has issued an "old maid
pack. 1t consists of euchre deck, with
the additions of card bearing the visage
of sour looking elderly female, sup
posed to be the old maid. 1t merely
takes the place of the joker and can bt
used in the game or not, as the players
please. -Washington Star.

Southern people are quite indignant at
the changing of the name of the postoflice
at Appomait0x to Surrender. Assistant
Postmaster General Maxwell says this was
done to avoid the confusion over the name
Appomattox Station and Appomattox. places
only two miles apart, and the patrons Of the
Appomattox postofiice asked the department
to change it, name. The new name is not
altogether inappropriate; but it is sugges-
tive of historical truth somewhat narrowing
to the Southern heart. If the department
was determined to have name for this
postoffice with historical significance 1t
would seem as if Lastditch, Peggedont,
Chrusbedown or Busthere, would have been
more appropriate. II is not surprising that
the patrons of the office should have pre-
ferred some other n5me. Hore, or Sunrise,
or Promise-most anything in fact void of
Renaissance, and with the suggestion of
futurity. When Congress conyenes next
December, and the men from the sunny
South land who run the Democratic parry,
are in charge of affairs, it is probable that
Surrender will have to surrender to some
name more to the liking of the citizens OF
Appomattox.
