aid has taken sundry fights in midair,
says the London Black and White. At
times he has risen to an altitude OF
twenty feet, occasionally lowering
kite-like for space and then descend
ing on the spot he left, while upon
other trials he has hastened before the
breeze for considerable distances ere
regaining his feet.
Mr.. Pitchers machines are light
structures of wood and steel support
ing vast spread of wing and braced
with piano wire. The wings them
selves, which are made of nsinsook-
sort of muslin usually manufactured
in India-haYe an area of one hundred
and fifty square feet; and each ma
chine, as our pictures indicate, pos
sesses yerticle and a horizontal rud-
der of circular shape, the one cutting
the other at right angles. The for
mer, which is rigid, serves to keep tie,
machines head to wind, while the lat
ter arrests an inclination to pitch
sideways-a common vieIs in oil like
inventions.
The great difficulty with winged
aeronauts is the uncertain quality of
the wind, for steady, unvarying
breeze is never to be calculated upon.
Indeed, the sudden, unexpected side
puff often brought disaster in its train
to Mr.. Pitcher, until he hit upon q
means of circumventing il. He now
draws his wing tips Id with q bend,
which renders flying machine safer
and more stable. Speaking generally,
these experiments IN flying or soaring
are being made with view to master
ing the art of aerial balance and safe
landing. Then, when the golden era
dawns when a screw propeller or aap-
ping wings are introduced and a pow
er discovered to work them, gentle
men like Messrs. Lilienthal and Pilch-
er will spring gayly aloft to emulate
the carrier or tumbler pigeon, and put,
q girdle round the earth in a morn
ing. May the necessary discovery of
q new power be speedily made. Mean
time Mr.. Pitcher, on fresh pair OF
wings with sail area of no less than
three hundred feet, pursues his plucky
experiments at Cardross in Dunbar
tonshire before numerous admirers.

summer-Ths Administration Not to Bs
Caught Again-rhe syndicate's Work.
A new issue Of bonds will DO made tho
moment there IL danger to the public
credit. This Is tho news which comes
from close friends Of the president, and II
L. In entire harmony with his declarations
last winter when tho contract was made
with the syndicate. Matters will not bc
allowed to drift so far as at that time. Tn,
president did not feel justified In taking
action then until no had given congress
an opportunity to consider the subject OF
currency reform, the retiremont of the
grcenbacks and tho substitution of gold
bonds for bonds redeemable simply In coin.
1t was the original intention at the
treasury department to let the reserve
drift little below 800, 900, 900 before TAX
ing action, but tho tremendous exports
and the redemptions of paper money which
occurred during the closing days of Janu-
ary took the situation for moment out Of
the control Of the treasury and carried tho
reserve down with jump In IL days from
$40, 763, III to $44, 705, 967. This will not
be allowed 30 occur again.
If there are symptoms OF n real panic
which threatens to arrest the expansion OF
industry and the restoration of business
confidence, an opportunity will be offered
the syndicate to take a new issue Of bonds
at fair price, and II the offer Is refused
terms will be quickly made with other tax
ers. Action can be taken under section
3700 Of the Revised Statutes as was tho
case with the last contract, or under the
general authority to issue certain classes
of bonds to secure redemption funds.
There is no expectation at the treasury
that now bond issue will be called for
this summer. The admission that it will
be made, II needed, and made promptly,
Is simply intended to forestall alarm and
assure the business community that 1t
need have no fear that the favorable con-
ditions which prevail in trade shall be
hopelessly marred by another breakdown
In the public credit.
The administration Is firmly enough re-
solved upon this point to keep on issuing
bonds at regular intervals, II necessary,
until congress changes the laws SO that
some power Of contracting the currency
shall exist by other means than the export
of gold. There is no fear that the syndi-
cate will endeavor to bring about situa-
tion demanding another issue of bonds, for
the small profit they might derive from 1t
would count for little against their proba-
bic losses in placing other classes Of Amer
lean securities.
The managers Of the syndicate have sew
eral times intimated plainly to Secretary
Carlisle that they intended to continue
their efforts to protect the treasury and
their own customers for American securi-
ties without regard to the exact terms Of
their contract. They are continuing to
offer bills Of exchange against their own
credits, and they are prepared to take
stronger action than they have yet taken
II the legitimate demand for gold to settle
balances should develop into speculative
