MAXlM,S NEW IDEA.
A Fort In the Air Which Would Cost a
Fortune, but End War.

Uut AShN " as
The celebrated inventor Of the Maxim
gun, one of tho 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 could
be operated at cost not too great to adj
nit of their use in the ordinary bus1-
ness affairs of life The inventor of the
Maxim gun, however, is very approprl-
ately working, primarily, to produce
machine which can be used in warfare.
For this purpose it is not at all neces-
sary that the expense OF air navigation
should be 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 flying machine or airship can
be invented which will be efficient IN
ordinary weather and will enable the
power possessing it to attack the for
tresses and camps of its enemies from
above, there will be a mad rush to OBJ
tain plenty of the new engines of de-
struction, no matter how much they
may cost to build and operate. The pic
tire of wholesale destruction which is
held up before the military mind when
an inventor talks of pouring dynamite
shells down upon beleaguered fortress
from 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 fill with shouting, and there
| rained a ghastly dew
From the nations airy navies graphing in the
central blue.

An Exnensire Cow.

There is a man in Chicago who pays
$18, 900 a year for the privilege of keep
ing a COW. He is sane man, a business
man, a man of family and generally
respected in the community. His poor
relatives declare him freak, and his
neighbors shrug their shoulders and
murmur things about rich mems whims.
The way of it is that he possesses val
liable building lot in choice residence
sportion Of the city, and having nothing
else to do with it he put nice little
fence around it and quartered therein
his pet Jersey cow. The cow was an
artistic cow and harmonized well with
the green turf and little bushes, so peo-
pie rather admired the arrangement.
One day man came along who thought
he would like to build house on that
particular lot, SO he hunted up the own
er and made him spot cash offer Of
$500, 900 for the land. His offer was re-
fused, decisively and politely.
''But, =" demonstrated relative,
aghast, "that would pay you $18, 900
yearl Why on earth did you refuse
it?'
The rich man Lit a cigar and turned a
protesting face on his accuser. Eyes, !"
he assented in puzzled way, but
what would have done with my cow?"

Perfumed Butterflies.

Fritz Muller discovered patches OF
singular scales ON the wings of butter
flies, which sent out more than 30 dis
tinet odors. These scent scales are called
aMdroconia An excellent study by mi
croscopical sections of the wings of some
as our butterflies, by Professor M. B.
T&omas, appears in The American Nat
uralist. He shows that these scales are
the outlet of unicellular glands situated
at She base of each scale.
Che especially prominent was detect
ed sseneath the aDdroconia in the wing
Of Danais archippus The surface of the
wing above the glands is sometimes COW
cred with great number of papiAB,
from the end of which the scent scales
project, or it may be like the ordinary
surface of the wing. In the former case
the androconia are quite small and but
one to each papilla, at the base Of which
lies the gland This gives the scent
scale the appearance of small rod
placed in flask.
The material elaborated by the local
glands and distributed upon the surface
of the wing by the androconia is that
which gives to many of the lepidoptera
their characteristic odor -Philadelphia

Ticket Chopper Who Is Saving Money In
Phenomenal Fashion.


There are some men with whom thrift
and miserliness are synonymous, but the
humble hero of this tale can scarcely be
called even penurious, despite the fact
that in 10 years, out of a salary of
$40. 80 week, he has accumulated over
SIS, 900, all of which is drawing at least
per cent interest.
When the ''L'' roads were completed
and the ticket chopping machines placed
in position, he of whom this is written
received charge of one at an up town
station during the night hours. Since
the day he went on his post, he has new
er taken or asked for as much as an
hour leave of absence. Seven days each
week and 52- weeks each year has he
continuously worked the handle of his
machine up and down, receiving there
for the muni1cent sum of $1.5 day.
Out of this he has by rigid economy laid
by 81 every "a hours. The remaining 90
cents has fed, clothed and lodged him.
While waiting for train the other
night l asked him how he had done 1t,
thinking of my modest dinner that had
cost me more than his days earnings.
''This way" he said as he ground my
ticket into a shapeless mass ''In the
