PROSPECTS OF FLYING.
Machine for Air Travelling May Eventual
ly be Used BY Sportsmen.


Lord Rayleigh, in speaking of my ex-
perimentS at the Oxford meeting of the
British association, said he considered
that of the five great problems to be
solved before flight could be accom-.
pliShed | had already solved three,
says Hiram S. Maxim in the National
Review | presume he referred to the
motive power, the prOpelling power
and the lifting power. What remains
to be done is to learn TO steer and to
maneuver the machine, and. when
once free flight is accomplished, TO
practice landing until the navigator is
able to bring the machine slowly to the
earth and land without injury Or
shock. OF course, it would be neccs-
Sary to approach the earth slowly in
vertical direction while running ut Il
very high speed, and to shut off steam
the instant the machine touches the
earth. The machine will then run for
ward over the earth and be brought to
state of rest in about 100 feet.
Now that it has been shown that 4
machine may be made which will
actually lift itself and travel through
the air at a very high velocity. | be.
lieye that some of the military pow.
erS who have so long been experiment
ing in this direction will take advant-
age of what | have accomplished, that
they may obtain sufficient apprOpria-
ton, and that an actual flying ma
chine for military purposes will soon
be evolved, whether continue my ex
perimentS or not. As for the CONNER
cial value of flying machines, do moi
think it is likely that they will be EN-
ployed for freight or passengers. Per
haps they might be used for sporting
purposes, and it is not altogether I'M
likely that in the daily journals Of
twenty years hence we shall find illus
rations of some popular prince Of the
realm on a flying machine pursuing 4
flock of wild geese through the air and
firing on them with a Maxim gun.

the loss will exceed one million dollars

nothing could save the structure. In

from 500 to 1000 books. Water and
smoke did great damage here. The

actress. today in the furnished rooms
Of the woman in Twenty-fourth street
and then blew out his brains. The
tragedy was not discovered until al
most evening. when both bodies were
found cold and bloody on the floor OF
tie apartment. None of those in the
house could assign motive for the
deed.

The young man lived on West Thirty
eighth street and just before the Christ
mas holidays was member of the
Sidney Drew company. 1t was during
this engagement that he met Miss Amy
Thill He fell in love with her. She
was also member Of the company and
they decided TO leave 1t at Christmas.
Since then neither of them have been
engaged in professional work. BigelOw
is said to have been offered an engage
ment, but refused to accept it unless
she was also engaged.
Members of the theatrical profession

lei to the case Of James Gentry, who
shot Madge York at Philadelphia q
few weeks ago.

of them have frequently been employed
in local theaters. All are handsome,
and the murdered girl was especially
so. The family came to Minneapolis
from st. Paul four or five years ago.
Mrs. Thill is tonight completely pros
trated by the shock and the other men,
bers Of the family decline to say any
thing Adopt the tragedy except to ac-
knowledge the relationship and to deny
that they had ever heard of Bigelow.

From Cedar Rapids. Iowa. Republican.
Mrs. V. Curley who has resided In

two years, tells an interesting story OF
what she considers rescue from prema-
ture death. Her narrative follows:
For ten years prior 10 1894. l was
a constant sufferer from acute stomach
trouble. had all the manifold symp-
toms OF acute dyspepsia. and at times

ton which would come on without
moments warning.
My troubles increased as time wore

bills, being compelled TO have medical
attendants almost constantly. During

ton. A consultation Of physicians was
unable TO determine just what did all
me. The doctors gave us as their opin-
ion that the probable trouble was ul-
ceration Of the coats Of the stomach
and held out no hope Of recovery. One
doctor said, "All can do TO relieve
your suffering is by the use Of opium.
About this time a friend Of mine,
Mrs. SAMANTHA Smith Of Glidden.
Iowa, told me about the case Of Mrs.
Thurston Of oxford Junction. Iowa.
This lady said she had been afflicted
much the same as / had. She had con-
suited local physicians without relief.
