man. He has the records of more than
fifty patents at Washington, chiefly de-
voted to the fancy and needs of chill
dren, for whom he has invented hobby

and endless games.

The accompanying picture gives a
good idea of what Mr.. Crandall's air
ship looks like. The body is made Of
aluminium spiral tubing covered with
bamboo and sealed air tight, the tubes
and the spaces between the floor of the
car and the outer casing being filed
with gas. The wings are of tough
silk thread paper over light but
strong wire frame, and are closely per-
forated. Each of the countless holes
will be covered by thin leather valve
that is opened as a wing raises and is
closed by the pressure of air as the
wing descends for the stroke.
The tail is like one of the wings, with
out the perforations and valves, and is
geared to move in any direction.
The power is obtained from dynamo
within the car and communicated to
the wings by a pair of shafts that move
up and down somewhat like the walk
ing-beam of a ferryboat. The lateral
shaft resembling afscrew gearing of
propeller operates the tail.
Mr.. Crandall made working model of
his device many years ago, but he en-
p1oyed a steam engine, which was too
heavy. The recent development Of the
electric motor has given Mr.. Crandall
hope that from that source he can
bring to bear sufficient power without
the handicap of weight.

HUXLEY'S LIFE WORK.
In Some Respects the Professor
Was Truly Gre at Man.
Career of the Famous Agnostic and Com
tributIons to Scientific Literature of
Evolution-His Controversy with
Mr.. Gladstone

Prof. Thomas Henry HUXLEY, the dis
death occurred June 80, at London, was
born at Ealing, in Middlesex, May A.,
1895, and after mastering the rudimen-
tary studies in the local schools, fitted
himself for the medical profession under
the tutelage of his brother-in-law and
by attending courses of lectures at the
medical school of the Charing Cross
hospital. His early ambitions were to
become a mechanical engineer. The
special adaptability which he felt for
this was evidenced in his later anatom-
ical and natural history researches when
the mechanical aspects of his subject
matter most impressed him.
After receiving his degree in 1845
Huxley passed a few years in shifting
assignments as surgeon to marine
posts. His travels enabled him to OBJ
tain empirical knowledge of many
phases CT lower animal life, of which
his collections and deductions were
made use of in London scientific peri
odicals and brought him a fellowship in
the Royal society.
The active years of Prof. Huxley's
aggressive exploitation of his doctrines,
which have been distinctive enough to
justify the coming of a new name with
which to designate them, were those OF
his professorship at the Royal School OF
Mines. The appointment as professor
of natural history and pal@ontology
was offered to him in 1854, and was not
relinquished by him until 1885, when
i'll health enforced a remittance of his
incessant labors. At first with little re-
alization of his subsequent successes,
he struck off from his subject the title
of paleontology, although this shun-
ming of the ancient branch of his sub
ject he did not long persist in.
Although allying himself in many
ways to the creeds of free-thinkers,
preceding and contemporary, he found
the only unassailable ground in what
is apparently an unsettled belief, ag-
Mysticism. This term and the explica-

It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

A sad drowning accident occurred at

years of age, has been camping with a
friend near Hotel st. Louis, and while
bathing attempted to swim a horse be-

Just as Reau rose for the third time, but
not being able to swim could render no

Must Pay Taxes.

In response to aletter of inquiry from
State Auditor Dunn, Attorney General
Childs gave out an opinion that the
property of national building and loan
associations, including the shares of
stock, should be assessed for taxation,
as provided by the law of last winter.
The associations are endeavoring to es-
cape the taxation by claiming the law
is invalid, and the final decision on this
question makes big difference to the
state and to the counties in which these
national associations are doing bust
ness. The attorney general also holds
that the property of the Norwegian
Y. M. C. A., in Minneapolis, is liable
for taxes,

ton of what it implies is due to Hux-
ley. Of it he said: when l reached
intellectual maturity and asked myself
whether was an atheist or a panthe-
list, materialist or an idealist, a
that the more j learned or reflect
ed the less ready was the answer.
So took thought and invented
what conceived to be the appropriate
title of 'agnostic.'"
This avowal of unbelief, of course,
did not prevent a leaning toward some
theories as more reasonable and prob
able than others. Of the truth of the
essential facts of the Darwinian theory
he was convinced, and to it's demon
stration he directed much comparative
study. Between man and the higher
orders of apes he discovered that there
was less of difference than among the
different species of apes themselves. In
lectures delivered in 1868 the idea was
developed that one matter designated
as protoplasm is common to all orders
of animal life, from the vegetable
organism up through the protozoa and
little differentiated animal organism
to the highest form distinguished as
human. From the Darwinian conclu-
sions Huxley diverged in some par
ticulars. That survival of the fittest
and prevention of degeneration in
volved continuance of conditions of
strife he did not accept. The practice
of self-sacrifice succeeded the struggle
for existence as the law of progress Tor
civilized man.
AS the most eminent expounder of
evolution and other advanced doc
trines, Prof Huxley inevitably gained
the disapproval of orthodox adherents,
who viewed him as an antagonist of
the true faith. Indeed, he was not so
violent as many who feel themselves
enfranchised after tsc oppression of
superstition. Of the Bible he once
spoke asthe magma charta of the poor
and the oppressed. Yet, like others
who feel themselves unwarrantedly at
tackled for their opinions, he sometimes
retaliated with excessive bitterness in
iconoclastic overthrow of cherished be-
liefs. His protracted and somewhat
acrimonious controversy with Mr..
Gladstone five or six years ago on the
miracle Of the swine will be recalled as
an illustration of this tendency.
