Flying Machines.
From London Public Opinion.


Lord Rayleigh at the British Association
considered that three out Of the five great
fight problems had been solved-namely.
motive power. propelling power and the
lifting power Steering and maneuvering
remain. The art of descending has also to
be practiced. Hitherto this has been the
easiest but least satisfactory portion of
the problem. For commercial purposes Mr..
Maxim expects little from flying machines,
but for military uses they will be highly
valued Perhaps they might be used for
sporting purposes. and 1t Is not altogether
unlikely that in the daily journals OF
twenty years hence we shall find illustra-
tions Of some popular prince of the realm
on a flying machine pursuing flock OF
wild geese through the air and firing on
them with a Maxim gun.

TIE RoMnLIKE SAFE.

laboriously trundled into one of tho city's banks It was a safe designed for use in just such troublous times as the city was then experiencing, but 1t was such an odd contrivance that one unac- quainted with its use would have guessed several times before he described it prop erly.
 The safe was alleged to be burglar proof, fireproof. and, what was most important Jast then. mobproof It was composed of two spheres, one revolving inside the other, aad when closed 1t seemed to be fortress that would guard any treasure not occupying over 50 cubic feet of space against all corners for an indefinite period. It was simply an i'm mense iron bomb, against which the rioters bomb and the anarchists bomb could crack themselves in vain If the members of a mob attempted to carry 1t away, too, they would find it an ele- phant on their hands, for the reason that it tipped the scales at the comfort able weight of l6la tons
 When t:le monster guardian of gold was in its place in the bank and had tucked away inside of it about 50 cubic feet of gold, silver, paper money and se- curities, the officials of the bank breathed easier. The safe is said to be the largest movable one ever made, and it is alleged that government experts have tried ill vain to open it, and that Uncle Sam will place vaults of the same style of construction in tho treasury building in Washington, where so many precautions were taken not long ago to guard the governments gold when the common. veal armies were marching upon the capital from all points of the compass. Technically described. the big bomblike safe is made of cold blast charcoal iron cast over basketwork of wrought iron.

THE young king of Spain has just been provided with a pretty but costly toy Tn the shape of an infant regiment. There are about 400 of these recruits, from five to eight years old; they are equipped with real rifles made on a reduced scale ex- pressly for them at the royal factory. The organization is exactly the same as that of a regiment of the line.

 THE 4. F. A
 The A F. A. has at last declared itself in Waterbury. It showed its hand at the republican caucus last night when republi- cans who for years worked tooth and nail for the party's interests were summarily turned down" It must have been a hu- miliatipg situation for the chairman of the republican town committee to find himself in.
 The meeting was packed by the A. P. A. One or two of the old line republicans were placed in nomination as a sop. but in the main those elected were men who can be depended on to sneeze whenever the \. P. A. leaders take snuff.
 It is not probable that the party will cut much of figure at the coming election. The decent and intelligent republicans of Waterbury, whose minds are not warped by narrow minded religious prejudices. dc not believe that the Catholic element oi our local population is A menace to Ameri. can institutions, and will not allow theil party to be absorbed by an institution whose watchword is hatred and bigotry. l Those men whJ are backing the A. P. A movement in Waterbury. and who are try ing to array our citizens against each othsl on religious and racial lines. are doing th' community a distinct injury. There is nc room for A. r. A. sentiments in Water bury. They are out Of place in com mutity as far advanced as ours. We al hlve the best interests of our city anC country at heart and it is a pity tha narrow minded fanatics can array citizens against each other under conditions tha are most potent to arouse anger. hatred and passion
 What are the republicans of waterbur. going to do about it? Will our esteeme, contemporary speak for its party?

 Tho Republican members were loud in thcir dcnunciations of MT. l.Autcrhach's independent views expressed in the after noon.
 Tho final hour of discussion of the cities article was then begun, Mir \icull taking tho floor. He pleaded for somc sort of home rule article.

 MT. F.. R. Brown opposed tho minority report because 1t made mOnarchics of each city and killed all legislative power. He was for the report of the cities committee and for proper legislative control

 Mir. Johnson. when the chairman TO- ported, moved that tho report be disagreed with and that the convention return the bill to the committee, with instructions to striko out everything but the first sec tion, which provides that the municipal and state elections shall be held in sepa- rate years.
 Thero was laughter from tho Democrats and cries of, They don't want even this homo rule"
 Amid confusion MT Choate ordered tho roll called, and several members explained their votes
 Mir Cochran said: II was certain that tho Republicans never wanted to give home rule. Now my opinion Is confirmed.
 MT. Lewis (ReDublicanl said: II have learned that people high in tho counscls of the Republican party in this county have all along had no intention of passing any bill containing home rule. This Is a scheme to defeat anything like 1t. I would be moro manly to come out and kill the bill than to do so in this under handed manner and with backhand stroke"
