Edison believes that the problem of
navigating the air cannot be accom-
plished by using either balloons or aer-
oplanes. He says: st would construct
actual ships of the air-yachts, schoon-
ers and brigantines which would tack
and jibe and sail before the wind. My
idea is that the lifting power for these
air ships should be gas stored in the
sails. In other words, you apply the
balloon principle in such way that the
gas bag, instead of being an impedi-
ment, as at present, would be the act

struct gas bags shaped like the sails

RAIN WATER MAKER.
Reasons Why It Is Cheaper at 25c
For 2-Pound Package Than
Any Similar Preparation
That Sells Even at sc.
It Is Important That Every House
Keeper Should Read This
Advertisement.

Jas. s Kirk & Co., in placing upon the
market a preparation now so widely
known as Kinks Rain Water Maker"
was determined to give the public some
thing better than had heretofore been
produced. One of the main consider =
atoms was to have a preparation 80 pre-
pared and to consist of such chemicals
that it would be absolutely and positively
harmless. The deleterious ingredients
of all so-called soap powders of which
they had made test made them more
anxious than ever to put upon the market
such a preparation as Rain Water Maker.
While many soap powders are sold for 8
cents and 10 cents per package, they are
not nearly as cheap as Rain Water Maker,
for they are composed in large part of
such chemicals that rot the clothing and
are injurious to the skin. Furthermore,
it is actually cheaper than any other
preparation on the market for washing
purposes today, ss it goes six times as
far. In other words, two pounds of
Kinks Rain Water Maker is equal to
twelve pounds of any similar article.
Rain Water Maker is therefore not only
the cheapest. but the best The people
indorse it Read what its friends say:

REBELS OUTWITTED.
Cuban Insurgents Badly Defeat
ed by the Spaniards.
The Rebels Set a Trap but it
Didn't Work.
NOT A HEAVY LOSS.
Insurgents Lose Two Hundred
and Eighty Killed.
NOT A HEAVY LOSS.

HAVANA. July "a severe engage
ment has taken place between the
Spanish troops, under the command
of Major Azuar and Rabi. the insur-
gent leader, at the head of a large
force. Two hundred and eighty of the
latter were killed.
1t appears Major Sanchez received
information that force of $500 in
surgents, under the command of Rabi,
had occupied strong positions near
Manzanillo, province of Santiago de
Cuba. Consequently the major sent
messenger to his superior officer, Col
onel Azuar, proposing to him that
they should join their forces and
make an attack upon the insurgents
The messenger, however, fell into the
hands of the insurgents, who hanged
him, and sent word to Major Sanchez,
in the name of Colonel Azuar to make
an attack upon the insurgent position
from a point which compelled
the troops to approach the insurgents
through a narrow thoroughfare. Ma
jor Sanchez, recognizing the difficulty
of the movement, which was appar-
emily directed by his colonel, sent for
ward two advance piclzets of twelve
and thirty men, respectively, under
the command of two sergeants, with
instructions to push forward to the
right and to the left of the narrow
thoroughfare, far removed from them,
and to be careful to take up advan-
tageous positions, from which they
could protect the advance of the main
body of the troops under Sanchez's
command. The Sergeants cleverly
followed out the instructions. Major
Sanchez then advanced carefully upon
the insurgent position, protecting his
men by every inequality of the ground.
But, as he expected, the troops were
no sooner inside the def1le than the
insurgents attacked them in force.
The first charges of the insur-
gents were made with enthusiasm and
their machetes played havoc among
the troops, who were hemmed in, and
unable to deploy, on account
of the narrow road they had to follow.
But it was here that the two advance
pickets, under the two sergeants,
came to the rescue From their ele-
waited position they kept up a contin-
uous and well directed fire upon the
insurgents within range and event.
ually, assisted by a charge of the
Spanish troops, compelled them to re-
treat outside of the defle. The Span
ish rushed forward after them, and

put the enemy to fight, with loss

troops lost fifty men, killed and
wounded.

MIRRORS OF
THE SOUL. =
Cross eyes Strengthened
by the Use of Glasses.
A Remarkable Case Treated By
Professor samuels---D Dreadful
Effect of Poisonous Drugs-.-A
Warning ana an Object Lesson.

The eyes have been aptly called s'the
mirrors of the SOUL" aud certainly next
to the soul they are the most valuable Of
all mans possessions The wonderful
results that have been and are being ac-
complished in cases of strabismus, or
''cross-eyes," by Prof Samuels are little
short of miraculous and have excited
widespread attention, not only on the
part of those having friends SO afflicted,
but of the members Of the profession
generally. Prof Samuels has always
claimed that child or z grown person
having "oross- eyes" could have them
Strengthened and the physical defect
completely remedied by the use Of
glasses, if the case was properly handled,
and here ia = case in point that confirms
his theory and serves as q valuable object
lesson.
Mr.. J. D. Psxon, the well known shoe
merchant of Lawrence, Kansas, took his
daughter to Prof. Samuels ten years ago
to be treated for strabismuR The pro.
fessor told Mr. PaxoH that he could
straighten his daughters eyes with the
right kind of glasses and provided her
with pair by the use of which her eyes
began to improve, and, as anyone can
find out by writing to Mr.. Paxon, the
young lady, who is now 20 years Of age,
has as straight eyes as anyone. i
A few years ago the frames Of her
glasses became too narrow and she was
taken to a Kansas City oculist, who ex4
amined her eyes with the aid of that
deadly poison, atrophine. The result
was the almost complete ruin of the
young woman's eyes, which are now In
fearful condition. Mr.. Paxon brought
his daughter up to Topeka on the FOURTH
of July for the purpose of again cone
sulting Prof. Samuels, and In so doing
expressed to the professor his profound
regret that he had not taken her to
Quincy, ILL.,, to see Prot. 6amusls, regard
less of the distance and expense of such
q journey, instead of to the Kansas City
ocuiist Prof. Samuels will try to restore
the sight in this case, If possible, and he
will no doubt succeed.
It will be the part of all sensible and
level-headed persons to profit by this OBJ
ject lesson and the professor again warns
the people to have nothing to do with
anyone who puts drugs in your eyes and
at the same time keeps you in little
sweat box for hours, at the end Of that
period of torture to be led away and ren-
dered incapable of attending to businesa
for several days.
Anyone suffering from cross eyea
should GO at once and consult Prof.
Samuels, who is going to make this city
his permanent home. He has saved a
great many grown persons and children
from having their eyesight ruined and
all those who have been lucky enough to
go to him have ever after blessed the
day they consulted Prof. Samuels. Hig
