Los ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING.

more than 100 kites. Hitching nine of
them in tandem fashion he has sent the
topmost to height of 5000 feet. Gilbert
T. Woglom is also skillful kite flyer.
In dismissing gang of kites Mr.. Wog-
lom first liberates oSe on a string as
light as consistent with the pull of the
kite. When it has reached the height
where 1t has taken as much cord as It
can in a substantially straight line, a
second kite is sent up on a rs or 100-foot
leader When kite No. is steady in the
air, the lower end of its string is attached
to the string of the original kite. Mr..
Woglorn then brings out his self-regis-
tering scale and tries the pressure of the
main twine. If it is more than 25 per
cent of the breaking strength of the
twine a heavier cord is attached. The
two kites are then allowed to go up, and
a third Is attached to the string in the
same way as the second. The same ope
ration is repeated for as many kites as
may be desired in a gang. Ten kites is
the greatest number that Mr.. Woglom
has ever sent out in one gang. He dis
missed this tandem on February is last,
when the wind was blowing about thir
teen miles an hour. They rose to an
altitude of $500 feet and all were safely
brought back. On November 29, 1894,
eight kites were sent up to an eleva-
ton of 1850 feet in a wind varying from
three to twenty-e eight miles.

Observation-Disclosures
~Aeh,M.

Prof. William H. Pickering, the astron-
omer of Harvard. college, is the presi-
dent. He has taken up the study of
aeronauts for the purpose Of furthering
the science of astronomy, believing that
the scope of the latter will be enlarged
to limitless degree when astronomers
are able to sail far above the clouds.
A FAMOUS GATHERING
The best known of the scientists who
will attend the convention are Herr Otto
Lilienthal of Berlin; Willis l.. Moore,
chief of the United States weather bu-
reau; A. S. Potter, also of the weather
bureaus staff; William A. Eddy, whose
many experiments in kite flying have
made him famous; J. Woodbridge Davis,
inventor of the life saving kite; Octave
Chanute, who has been a recognized
authority on flying machines for more
than fifty years; Prof. S. p. Langley
director of the Smithsonian institute;
Gilbert T. Woglom of New York; Alex
ander Graham Bell of telephone fame.
who within the past year or two has
given much time to the study of aerial
navigation, and possibly Laurence Har-
grave of New South Wales.
Much of the work for the convention
arrangements have fallen upon Albert
"A. Merrill, secretary of the Boston So
ciety of Aeronauts. The convention will
last many days and will not be dry af-
fair by any means, as the principal fee
ture of the program is a competition
meet of all the flying machines. These
competitions will probably take place at
Milton, suburb of Boston. The reason
of the selection of Milton is that there is
a fair-siZed sheet of water near at hand
All aeronauts have weakness for MAX
ing ascents in the vicinity of water Ex-
perience has taught them that it is
pleasanter to fall few hundred feet
into deep water than to smash into the
earth. 1t is quite probable that if no
water were near at hand many of the de-
signers would refuse to show off their
flying machines at the competition.
THE COMPETITION
The various classes are classified as
follows:
Prize A-For the kite showing the
maximum Of lift to the minimum Of drift
In breeze having velocity of more
than fifteen miles per hour.
Prize B-For the kite showing the
maximum of lift to the minimum Of
drift in a breeze having velocity of
less than fifteen miles per hour
Prize C-For the kite keeping its equl-
ibrium through the greatest extremes
of wind velocity
Prize D-For the soaring machine in
free flight which. after gaining velocity
shall make the best course. The excel
lence of the course to be judged by the
maximum length and the minimum of
undulation. Energy may be given to the
machine by carrying it to a height.
Prize E-For the best self-propel,ed
machine.
The greatest interest will center in the
flying machines, and according to ex-

THE NEW SLEEPING CAR
II Is Arranged in State Rooms, Each Of Which
Contains q Single Berth

The demand for more privacy at night
than is offered by the ordinary sleeping
car, and the objection to the so-called
state-room car, that it's high price COM
partments all contain two berths, has
led to the designing of new style sleep
er called the Lockwood, in which each
room can be connected by unlocking
doors in the partition if two or more
persons are travelling together
During the daytime these cars will
have the usual arrangement while at
night the alternate partitions are moved
in such a way that the upper and lower
berths are in alternate rooms.
By day each state room is feet inch
es by feet wide, and has a sofa 1914
inches wide. At night the upper part
of each reversible (alternate) partition
is unfastened, slid forward nineteen and
one-fourth inches and refastened. The
lower part of the partition is then raised
and locked in horizontal position, form
ing the bottom of the upper berth An
additional partition, which forms the
top of the double seat. is thrown up ver-
tically and forms the back of the lower
berth. No curtains are required. The
width at night is feet inches over the
berths, which are made up crosswise of
the car. Each room has a washstand
These new cars are u feet long, have
fourteen single rooms, one double room
and two ordinary berths. 1t does not
give as many berths SIS an ordinary
Pullman or Wagner, but the berths are
wide enough for two persons to occupy
mfortably.-New York Journal.
The herald., 1896-07-12

sharps from all parts Of the world will
attend to show their fellows what won
derfNl things they have accomplished
in the matter of touring among the
clouds.
1t Is almost unnecessary to state that
this convention may be the means of
causing revolution in the matter of
quick transit. The men who will attend
1T are not reckless, untutored spirits; on
the other hand they are intelligent
scientists who believe that aerial navi-
cation is not only possible, but that
within few. years 1t will be a popular
reality, fndulged in by great financial
corporations and by private individuals.
Popular interest In aernautics has been
aroused all over the world by the bal
loon expeditions to the North Pole by
Explorer Andree Recent experiments
by meteorological experts in kite flying
have also excited the public mind In the
matter, and 1t is fair to presume that
when the famous aeronauts convene at
Boston their doings will be heralded to
all the ends of the earth.
The convention has been arranged by
the Aeronautical society of Boston. This
is composed of only twenty men, but
each one of the twenty is man skilled
in the work of the organization. The
society was only formed in May Of 1895.

perts this feature Of the program will be
a duel between the designs of Prof
Langley Of Washington and Herr Lilien-
that of Berlin. Prof. Langley's machine
is contradiction of the principles rec
ognized by all of the other designers
of flying machines. In other words, the
aim of the average designer is to pro-
duce a machine lighter than the air
Prof Langley believes that the weight
of the machine has nothing to do with it's
flying capacity. He claims that the great
essential is the driving force. If enough
power can be introduced, he argues, that
a machine OF any weight can be driven
through the air.
1t was the lowly turkey buzzard that
gave this idea to Prof. Langley. On this
subject he says: Did you ever think
what q physical miracle 1t is for such
bird as one of our common turkey buz-
yards to fly in the way it does You may
see them any day along the Potomac
flying in the air, with hardly the move
ment of their feathers. These birds
weigh from five to ten pounds; they are
far heavier than the air they displace;
they are absolutely heavier than so many
aatirons."
A MYSTERIOUS MACHINE
Prof. Langley has been most reticent
about the construction of his machine
He uses steam as driving power. 1t is
in the distribution and form of the solid
matter, he says, which allows it to float
through the air, and the greater the
speed attained the less danger there Is
of the machine falling. Less than three
months ago Prof. Langley sent a small
machine on flight of nearly half mile
through the air in the presence of Alex
ander Graham Bell. This machine was
built of steel. weighed twenty four
pounds and measured fourteen feet from
-
than the air supporting it. Great Sc
orecy attended the experiment, and the
world would probably have never known
Of it had it not been for the enthusiasm
of Prof. Bell. Prof. Langley is now at
work on a larger and heavier machine,
in which the driving power will be much
greater. 1t is possible that the new ma
chine will be exhibited at the Boston
convention.
THE LILIENTHAL IDEA.
Prof. Langley does not believe that
man has sufficient strength to fly with
artificial wings. His rival, Herr Lilien-
thai. does. His machines are construct
ed on that idea. With the Lilienthal
machine it is necessary to start the
flight from high hill. The flyer buckles
on the machine, takes a sharp run and
jumps into space. The big wings on the
machine are supposed to do the rest. The
novice, when ne TuIlS anu Jumps, usual
ly hits the ground with his face. Herr
Lilienthal has had an artificial hill fifty
feet high built near his home at Gros
Lichterfelde, suburb of Berlin. From
this eminence he has made repeated
flights of $50 yards.
His apparatus consists of wooden
frames, wirglike in shape, covered with
cotton twilling. The frame is seized
by the hands, the arms resting on cush-
ions, thus supporting THE body. The legs
remain free for running or jumping. The
steering in the air is brought about by
changing the center of gravity. The
supporting surfaces are from twelve to
twenty five yards.
THE KITE DISPLAY
In the matter of kites the display at
the coming convention will be large.

Portraits and "Pictures."

If one can give the portrait and make
a picture at the same time. so much the
better, but if the portrait be given with
frankness and sincerity, if the model be
rendered with knowledge and truth, the
result Will be a picture-a work OF art
whether the painter so designs 1T or
not. Holbein and Velasquez told the
exact truth about their sitters, and their
simpler portraits are today their better
nictures. Lawrence and his followers in
devoting themselves to stunning et-
fects not only compromised the likeness,
but made the picture bizarre by en-
phasis i'll the wrong place. The tale has
been more than twice told IN the history
of art. a simple truth is always better
than an ornate falsehood. .-Scribner's.

Conversational Slovenliness.

Conversation also is often marked by
moral slovenliness. Not only Is there
that Kind Of talk stained with dirt
which some men shamelcssly exhibit,
but there are the conversations III which
there is a covert looseness, (, doubleness
of ,seaning, hint Of that which may
not be said with manly straightforward
ness, which has III it a certain laxlty'
as far as moral rectitude is concerned.
There is that ready knowledge of every
body's misdeeds, as of their humber
relations, which people dispense, some
with glittering mischief i'll their eyes
others with oonfdlng Gemureness- sc
dreadful, you know!''-only 1t happens
that they do not know and are only re-

from some dealer in lhat infamous az
ticle, limiting away Il mans or wom-
ans character and proving that they
have none of their own.-Good Words.

The Public Service In China.

Ex-Sccretary John W. Foster, who
was the confidential adviser CT the en-
peror of China in the peace negotiations
with Japau, contributes a paper on
"The Viceroy Ii Hung Chang" to The
Century. Mr.. Foster says of the vice
roy:
He does not regard the competitive
educational system of admission to the
public service as a perfect method, and
more than once he has recommended to
his emperor material notifications in
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood the test OF
centuries with much benefit to China,
and its practical operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits OF
inestimable value to any nation. First,
it brings all the offices of the empire
within the reach OF the lowest subject,
and, secondly, it diminishes the lncen-
tiyes to and opportunities of corruption
and favoritism in securing entrance
into official life. But III China the COM
petitive examination ends with the ad-
mission. Beyond that step promotion
must come though other methods. Ii
Hung Chang secured the right Of ad-
mission to Office through his assidUous
application to study, and every succeed
ing step in his upward career has, been
attained by his own genius and capacity.

The Early Packet Service.

The first institution Of packet services
across the two channels and the North
sea probably dates back to very ancient
times. In the days when England was
province Of France, and during the
later period when France was a province
of England, the need Of channel tor
regular correspondence must have made
itself irresistibly felt; and even after
the loss of Calais the long presence OF
English troops and English agents III
the Low Countries called fer almost as
constant means of communication with
Holland.
The service probably made a great
stride in the days Of the protectorate;
for Secretary Thurloe, who hung the
secrets of all Europe at the protector S
girdle, could do SO only by means OF
uninterrupted correspondence with his
agents abroad, and, being postmaster
himself, could regulate the packets to
suit his wishes. Still the system was
rot exteuded outside the narrow seas
either during Cromwell's reign or that
of his successor. The need for such e1-
tension became pressing only through
the growth of our colonial possessions.

What "Mick" Says.

State Liquor Commissioner Mixson
had but very little to say yesterday
in regard to the latest matter from
Mr. Hubbell in regard to the ques-
ton about the whiskey rebates. In
the first place he stated that he
simply wished to say that 4. M.
Mixson was not young Mixson, :"
but that he was a man fully as old
as himself, railroad man and resi-
dent of Augusta, Ga. He also wish
ed to say that the letter given was
dated December 20. while his COM
missioner only bore date of February
l. He was not elected, he says,
until some time in January and was
not commissioned until the date
named. He sad, "Wben l gave that
letter, was simply a private citizen.
But if any Of my friends want letters
