"Unless I am mistaken, the people of
the United States are in a fair way
to enjoy an chronological treat. I
met a young American here the
other day who is on the trail of a
Chinese giant who lives In the inter-
ior, about one hundred miles from
Canton. This fellow is peasant,

Overcome evil with good" He was
kind and affable to the lowly, mild
and courteous to the ignorant, phi
lanthropic to the miserable, and ever
gentle both to friend and foe. The
consequence was that he won all
hearts. His diocese was often the
theatre Of war; but the English,
Germans and Dutch even surpassed
the Inhabitants of Cambray in their
love end yeneration for him. At such
times be gathered the wretched into
Lis residence and entertained them
kindly for his known goodness bad
surrounded him With power which
even contending armies could not
resist; and the consequence was that
his dwellings were safe, even when
towns and villages were lying in
smoking ruins around him. The fol-
lowing is an instance of his great
kindness. Hc observed one day that
a peasant. who had been driven from
his home, and to whom Fenelon had
given shelter, did not eat. IEquiring
the reason, the poor man said,
"Alas my lord, In making my es
cape from my cottage 1 had not time
to bring off my COW, which was the
support of my family. The enemy
will drive her away, and | shall never
find another so good" Fenelon,
availipg himself of his privilege of
safe conduct, Immediately set out,
accompanied by a single servant,
and drove the cow back himself to
the peasant BY thus walking and
acting according to the law of over
coming evil with good, he gained the
affection of all. The peasantry loved
him as their father; and, long after
his death, their tears would flow
when they said, "There is the chair
on which one good archbishop used
to sit in the midst of us; we shall
see him no more" What a crown
of unfsdiDg glory the law of love
gave him

Prof. Langley's Flying Machine.

WASHINGTON, May l2.-Prof.
Langley, of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton is gratified over the progress he
is making toward solving the prob.
lem of the flying machine. Last
Wednesday, he and his assistants
took their model down the Potomac
and the machine was given two
trials. At the first it few 1000 feet
and was in the air one and one-half
minutes; at the second, it flew over
halt a mile. The model is about
four feet long with a six-foot wing
expansion. Prof. Langley believes
he is now nearly ready to build
practical flying machine large
enough to carry a crew of three and
to make an extended fight. 1t is
estimated that the construction
should not be undertaken with less
than q fund Of 100000. If Prot.
Langley had sufficient fund, he be-
lieves he could build his large ma
chine in two years, several months
of which would be exhausted in eX-
perimental work, as every step
would have to be thoroughly tested.
