WINGS FOR THE ARMY.
Signal Service Officials Think of Emulatina
Darius Green.

Washington, July S.-The officials OF
the Army Signal Service have practically
decided to build flying machine. When
completed it will be used in series OF
experiments whose object will be to de-
termine, if possible, the practicability
of artificial soaring fight.
The construction of the flying machine
will probably be under the supervision
of CAPITA in Glassford, of the Department
of Colorado, who under General Greely.
of this city, chief signal officer, U. S. A
has been carrying on extensive expert
ments in military ballooning for the last
three years. Capt Glassford is makineo
preparations for an extensive exhibit "a
be Instituted in connection with the Den
yer exposition, to be open July /, 1896.
This exh ibit will illustrate many of the
conspicuous phases of military aeronau-
Tics. A whole depa rtment of the exposit-
ion will be devoted to aerodynamics and
in all probability the War Department.
will give Captain Glassford permission
to take charge of it. During the inter
vening year. previous to theopening of the
Colorado fair, every effort will be lent
TO the construction of an apparatus which
may actually carry man for the amuse-
ment and instruction of the people to as
semble in the western city next summer.
The mechanism to be constructed is
What IS known as the soaring apparatus.
the only kind of flying machine on the
aeroplane order which has actually suc
ceeded in transporting man in free air.
One of these has been built and success.
fully used by Herr Lillienhall, a German
engine manufacturer, who succeeded in
flying several hundred yards by it's means,
The same device has been made and inn
proved by an American engineer living
in New York city. A new apparatus on
these lines will be constructed for the ex-
hibit mentioned.
Capt. Glassford is sanguine enthu-
siast both as to the future of his balloon
experiments and the accomplishment of
mechanical flight by means of the aero
plane He believes that Professor Maxim
in his late experiments, has presented
many points Of the true flying machine
hitherto unsolved. The new soaring
apparatus will greatly resemble a gigantic
butterfly, with large curved, but fixed.
wings provided with fiat tail and up-
right keel projecting out behind. 1t will
be about 80 feet across from tip to tip of
wings and about seven feet from front
to back. 1t will expose about 100 feet of
the surface. This surface will consist
of fine cloth, stretched tightly over a
framework Of light wood, held in place
by fine steel wires. There will be no
movement Of the wings whatever. The
whole surface will be rigid, without
hinges or joints for the movement of
one part against another. The whole is
designed to represent the eagle in the act
of soaring.

made part of the system, and it's method
SO far as applicable, must be kept in use
throughout all the later school years
The effect of this would be surprising
not only the mental effect, but still more
the moral We have learned of late years
that God has more ways than one for un-
locking the human intelligence, and that
among His happiest methods for this are
the kindergarten methods of learning by
doing, and of coming in contact with
things themselves instead of descriptions
The determination to be accurate, for in.

characterized as "a great part of true
education, first comes and comes best tc
many child in trying to make some
thing according to rule or model.
Saw to that line, but don't saw it out. 81
When you can do that, saw out the line
so that neither part of the divided plank

~ File that surface fiat. - From such
problems, sedulously wrought out minds
Of certain type get far better eduea-
tional start than book learning could
ever give them. All these operations arc
at the bottom mental, hand and eye being
only auxiliary in them; and when the
mind has been thus reused with the joy
of attainment, it easily turns to books, to
mental tasks that are abstract The
passing of all children through the Kin
dergarten means the induction of them
into the world of ideas by this natural
and pleasant path. The immense i'm
provement in mental training which
would thus result is simply indescribable.
The moral advantages OF kindergarten
methods are no less marked. Kindliness,
Difference to others, careful regard for rights
as we'll as manners (Which stand so near
to morals) are incessantly enforced. The
results are more than gratifying. Not
only do most of the little ones themselves
acquire a beautiful unselfishness and
sweetness of temper, but each becomes in
its own home a missionary force. Gases
are not rare where single child three or
four years old, trained in the kinder
garten, has reformed the house habits of
an entire poor family 1.-THE mother first, then
the elder sisters, then the rude, big broth
er, and last the coarse, grimy dull father,
coming to be personally cleaner, tidier
about the house, less piggish at the table,
less animal and more human, cultivated
and moral every way. No one can wit
ness these fruits of kindergarten instruc-
tion in any poor mans home, without
saying ''Let the good work go on. %
But there are very many other ways in
which the Intellectual and moral appli-
ances of American schools can be i'm
proved, and every such chance of better
ment must be utilized to the utmost.
Not to enter upon the details of SO great
a subject, 1 would urge the carrying out
of all those reforms on the desirableness
of which educational authorities are
agreed. We need better coordination of
grades with grades
At the same time increased spontaneitv
in pupil and teacher both is desirable:
less of mechanical, enforced treadmili
