TESTING THE AERopLANE.-Prof.
Langley, of the Smithsonian Institute,
experimental with his aeroplane, or air
ship, on Saturday in Occoquan bay.
The machine was shipped from Wash
ington via the Washington Southern
Railway and placed on a scow. The
secretary and DR.. Bsrross, his colaborer
adjusted the mechanism to its support
ing frame. The propeller began a
businesslike whir, and the tension hav.
ing reached the proper degree the ma
chine was released. Like q monstrous
swan it jumped into the air, in the face
of a perceptible breeze, and, after sail
ing gracefully for some distance, alight-
ed upon the surface of the water. 1t is
made to float. The material in it is
aluminium, and the shape like that of a
porpoise. The wings inclined upward
at a slight angle, the machine being
sustained much as kite is held in mid
air. In place of string and wind are two
swiftly revolving screws. In the rear
extends vertical tail or rudder. The
device is about ten feet long. Before
long flight is attempted, its ultimate
possibility being only a question oil
time, the problem of steering, must be
more satisfactorily solved.

been there but few days when she
took French leave. She crept into the

VIM. Level, who for several years has
had trouble with the woman, learned

with jealousy, proceeded with two

of cleaning up things generally. The
trio found two men and as many women
in the house, and Level and hissfriends
were roughly handled and driven of.
During the row razor and pistol
