NEW IDEAS IN INDUSTRY.

After the Keely motor few things In
the field of invention have attracted so
much attention as the plans Of John r.
Cooley. the air ship inventor. Mr.
Cooley has succeeded In raising enough
funds by popular subscription with
which to begin the construction Of q
mammoth 200 foot ship which Is to be
the climax and elimination Of his life's
hope In connection with the great prob
lem OF aerial navigation. Mr.. Cooley
has made known the type of motor he
proposes to use. The general theory of
the motor is that Of the repulsion OF
hot air or gas which has been violently
expelled from the larger end Of cone
shaped generator. It Is with this that
ne expects to derive his great power.
miniature motor Is now being made
OF copper ehi II will be tested in order
to ascertain the dimensions for the twe
large ones to be used In the proposed
air ship.
This shin. which is destined to be A
grand wonder IN Ito way. will be bu,ft
near Charlotte. N. Y, within a suitable
inclosure. While the air ship Is being
constructed Mr.. Cooley will give some
OF his attention to raising funds to Sc
cure the necessary instrument equip
ment, for there are incidental expenses
which are necessary for the uncom-
promised attainment Of the scientific
portion Of the work. and the conven-
ience and even safety Of the crew.
When the attitude is reached, from,
which the dive is made, by which the
vessel will attain the critical speed
otherwise known as the soaring speed
this height must be accurately known
1t is determined by the instrument
called the aneroid barometer, and when
the vessel will take It's downward
course. at a steep angle, the same
instrument tells It's position at any
given time In altitude The angle Of
the dive must be regulated to reach
the critical speed before the vessel gets
too near the earth.
This critical speed is determined BY
calculations and registered by an in
strument called the thermometer. II
also figures In turning the
ship around in connection with the
compass. reckoning also on distances
when the ship is about to land. These
are some Of the Incidental expenses
Others are: Gasoline for testing tn.
motors, slideway for launching. 5000
feet OF cable, or thereabouts, for the
same purpose. charterlng the steamboat
for launching, transportation from
shipyard to the shore, where the vessel
Is to be launched; assistance in labor.
extra cordage, spars and sails, In case
OF breakage.
| For all Of eighteen years Mr. Cooley
has labored on the problem of aerial
navigation, and he now believes the
veil OF mystery Is about to be lifted. II
success crowns his efforts he expects
that his discovery will be the means
OF advancing States and nations one
step in the history Of their progress and
civilizations; to raise one notch higher
the great standard of the diffusion of
knowledge and moral advancement
and to clear up forever the Polar mys-
teries, around which hover the shades
of SO many Of earth's most noted scien-
lists.

They did hurry, though not unreason-
ably. The Viscount was not young
man who liked to be kept waiting, es-
pecially by the woman Of his brief but
warm affections. Yet all the while, for
the life of her, Beatrice could not help
thinking Of other things.
She had burned the Portland letter

There was dull, light trade IN specula-

wheat for sale, and the market for December

CHICAGO. Sept Corn and oats both
went through their accustomed performance
of making new. low records today, closing
Nc lower each. Wheat suffered from appre-
hension of heavy Northwest receipts, and
closed &c lower. Provisions declined 5@10c.
Wheat at the opening made false start at
about &c advance, and had to Immediately re-
turn and commence over again. December,
which closed yesterday at 5SQ58ssc, COM
menced this morning at 5Slsc. In about ten
minutes 1t was down around 5SAc, with oc-
casionally few sales at Lice below that.
The immediate course of the opening rise
was the comparatively cheerful tone Of the
financial columns of the morning papers
and the announcement Of 1883, S62 bushels as
the flour and wheat exports of the week,
compared with 2,280,000 bushels on the SIM
liar week of the year before. Cables did not
respond to the decline here yesterday, and
this was an additional source Of strength.
The weakness which so quickly. succeeded
was ostensibly the result Of the receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth, reported as LII
cars, against 1,l59 last year. The effect of this
was dissipated, however when 1t was learned
that the receipts at Minneapolis were the
accumulation of two days, but 1t had the effect
OF calling general attention to what may be
expected from that source. An accumulation
OF over 100000 bushels for the week, ex-
that much more to be carried In the visible
supply on stringent money market, was
without doubt the chief reason for the de-
cline. The Chicago receipts were 26S cars,
only 10 of which were of contract quality.
The clearances from Atlantic ports were lib
eral, and New York reported a good inquiry
there for export, but nothing could revive the
bullish spirit Of the market Lower CONT
mental cables intensified the weakness and
general selling out OF purchases made around
5SAc carried the price down to 57N@5Sc at
the Close. Corn was still weaker than 1t
had been, and reached even lower depth.
September declined to the unprecedentedly
low price Of 1870 per bushel May opened
a shade higher at 2laig241Ac. but soon turned
weak and declined to 24hc, the closing price.
Oats were slow and weak, prices reaching
lower figure than ever known before. May
opened unchanged at 1880, and declined to

tually repeated the performance of the day
