REFERRING to Professor Petrie's
attack on the agents OF civilized
nations in endeavoring to lead in
ferior races out OF darkness, the
New York Sun says that although
that gentleman may object to
. Outstanding man-eating Africans
he cannot deny that the work now
being done Is in the line OF pro-
gre-s. THE conversion OF the Ha
waiians was not "a very long or a
very difficult job for the American
missionaries. \ good deal OF sue
cess was gained among several
tribes OF North American Indians
both by the Catholic and the Pro-
testant missionaries. Several thou
sands OF japanese have been con
verted, and the Gospel has free
course under the Mikado. We have
examined a remarkable report sent
here by an American missionary
among the Zulus of Southeastern
Africa. A large proportion OF the
black Zulus have joined the church;
there are twenty-four native Zulu
preachers and 224 native helpers
and teachers, and there is even a
theological school for Zulu min
listers. For the American mis-
sionaries themselves in Zululand
there are mission reserves held
under trust deeds and con
tributions are received from the |
Zulu converts. At the same time |
there has been progress otherwise.
The natives have been set to work |
in the mines opened by English |
companies ; they wear white mans
clothes they have shanties, where
formerly they lived in kraals they |
buy American implements, and one
of them has said that more can be
got from a plough than from six
wives Thus, while the mission
aries have gained success among
some of the pagan races, there are
others of these races more stiff
pecked. 1t is particularly hard to
win over the Chinese, the Hindoos,
the Hottentots of Africa, the In
dian tribe of South America, and
the aboriginal Australians.

IN refusing TO allow Mrs. Hutch
inson to carry on her chosen work
among the lepers at Molokai, the
Board of Health is in duty bound
TO give a more explicit explanation
than is contained in a terse mega
tive. Mrs. Hutchinson comes to
this country on a most unusual
mission she seeks neither remun-
Grafton or support from the Govern
ment, but simply asks that she
may be allowed to join forces in
an endeavor to brighten the bur-
densome life of those unfortunates
stricken with disease. She does not
come in the guise of one who courts
public applause for doing some
thing from which others shrink,
but as a conscientious laborer filled
with a desire to do good. While it
is by no means a good policy to
make the settlement an advertising
medium for whoever may take it
into their heads to 90 there, we
believe the line should not be
drawn against those who are
prompted by honest and noble as
piratiOns.

AS pumping is one Of the
most common uses to which
wind motors are put, the
method of communicating
motion to the pump is very
important and has received
our closest attention, and the
defect created in most wind
mills of racking themselves to
pieces in a severe wind has
been obviated in the Aermotor
by means of back gearing, SO
that the wheel makes about
three turns to one stroke of
the pump or enough SO that
the wheel may run at its natural
speed, unrestrained in any
moderate wind, without doing
violence to the pump or its
connections. This enables us
to give the pump a long stroke
instead ofthe quick, jerky, short
strokes of ordinary wind mills.
This means that the valves are
not worked SO harshly in open
ing and closing and that the
wear and tear is greatly dimin
ished, while the piston rod
speed is increased, and conse-
quently the pumping capacity
is increased. The back gear
ing, together with the extra
holes for crank pins in the
crank wheel also makes it pos
sible to use with the Aermotor
any ordinary size of pump
cylinder If a wind motor is
not sensitive to the direction of
the wind much of its efficiency
is lost.
The ease with which a wind
mill faces up to the wind de-
ponds on weight of the mill,
the kind and condition of the
bearings on which it pivots and
the comparative leverage of
wheel and tail. In the matter
of leverage, the advantage en-
joyed by the Aermotor over
common wind mills will
be made apparent by the
fact that the center of the
wheel is only twelve inches
from the mast or center on
which it turns while that of the |
best known wheel is thirty
inches, requiring as is easily |
seen two and one-half times as
.ong or large a tail to balance
the same sized wheel. The |
Aermotor presents one half
the surface to the wind; it is
that this other wheel
must have five times the tail
surface to make it face the
wind equally we'll thereby
greatly increasing the liability
to wreck in a storm. The
mere fact that we have placed
SO more Aermotors on the
stands is sufficient guarantee
IF their superiority and desir-
ability by those who want a
motor that looks after itself.

cREssLER's PLYING MACHINE.

In this issue will be found a long
and interesting article IN regard to
james Brainard Ctessler and bis
flying machine, so we'll kaown to
many Of our readers. The letter is
sent out from Washington City by
u special writer known as Smith DE
Fry, who went out to a place near
Shippensburg, Pa, specially to
hunt up Cressler and write up his
flying machine for the daily papers,
and we find the report. as publish
ed or our outside going the rounds
of the "ready plate service and
on the "patent outsides" of the
country papers. Crcsslcr left this
county about three years ago to trav-
ell through the country lecturing and
exhibiting his flying machine. He
wound up near Shippensburg, his
native place, where he was raised
and lived before he came to this
county, about twenty years ago.
He lived at st. Joe, on the river
above Albrightsville, many years
and engaged in various things,
running saw mills aud engines,
and doing work as carpenter and
machinist. He is very ingenious
and could do anything almost in
this line. He worked hard, but
was a poor manager and never
could get ahead, and has always
been considered q "crank." A
year or two ago it WAS reported here
that he was in an asylum over in
Pennsylvania, but this was after
wards denied. He married Miss
Hattie Morgan, daughter of
David Morgan, Esq, Of Marsden,
and has two children nearly grown,
a boy and girl. His family has
moved to Buckhannon, and his
wife has an application IN the Court
here for divorce for desertlon and
non support. Cressler may succeed
yet with his great invention and
make record in history for him
self. A bill was introduced in this
last Congress to appropriate 800.
600 for experiments aud expenses
toward perfecting aerial navigation.
Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio,
was the author of the bill, and
insisted that it was only a question
OF time till successful result would
be attained, and that unless this
government took hold of the matter
at once, some other country would
and thereby gain the honor of the
invention. But Congress treated
the matter as a joke and refused to
vote for the appropriation.

We have taken the pains during
the past week to interview reliable
parties from all sections of the
country, in regard to the fruit and
wheat prospect. All unite in say.
ing that the outlook for big
crop OF both is excellent. The
wheat wintered we'll, being pro.
tected under the snow, and was not
frozen out. The cold weather.
sleet. snow aud ice has held the
fruit of all varieties back, so that
there is no danger of it being hurt
now by the cold weather. A few
parties claim that the small fruit
buds swelled during the nice
weather in December and were
thereby killed by the succeeding
cold, but we havn't much faith in
this and still expect fair crop of
small fruits.
