rms belief is now exploded. Pro-
iessor l.anEloy's experiments have
proved that II is only necessary to make
the propollcrs revolye fast enough in
order to force the airship along at a
rate almost indefinitely fast. Also. he
mas discovered that the resistance
offered by the air to the aerodrome is
only 0nc-ifticth part of what was sup
posed, implying that so much less mo-
tive power is needed. The speed at

desired. Such an airship will be able
10 traverse space at a rate far exceed
ing the flight Of the fastest birds, and
a journey across the continent will be
accomplished in scarcely more than a
few consecutive twinklings.
The theory OF the aorodrome is
wholly different from that of the bal
loon. Unlike the latter, IL does not aim
to float by rcasO Of being lighter than
the air. Professor Langley's machine
weighs about 1000 times as much as
the air which supports II. II relies upon
the air currents, as does a soaring bird.
In fact, its principle is derived from
the suggestions offered by birds of the
vulture type. There is no better ex-
ample of soaring than the vulture.

NAL, will remain for a whole day in
the air without a single wing-beat, sim

Most people have seen the magician

plies to the aerodromc. Suppose that
such an airship is on its way from New
York to Chicago at a speed of fifty
miles an hour, the day being perfectly
calm or course this means a ffty-mile
current Of air In effect. 1t opposes the
progress OF the vessel very slightly, be-
cause the latter presents merely the
edge of It's planes TO the breeze. The
captain al the helm inclines the planes
upward a triie at the front, so that the
powerful air current is made to exercise
Its lifting power and keep the craft

comes, the planes are governed accord

lNVENTS A FIREMAN'S CAP.
Wearer Can Ii,main Half an Hour In
Dense smoke.

Mrs. John II. Miller of this city has
invented a wonderful fireman's cap,
says the Syracuse Standard. Mr.. Mil
Ter put on the cap and entered a smoke
house so densely filled with smoke that
1t was impossible TO go near the door
without protection and he remained
thlfty-hHC minutes with no possible
chance OF getting air from the outside.
\ fireman connected with No. | COM
pany entered he smokehouse without
the contrivance and remained eight Sec
Onds before coming into the fresh air,
hair suf'ocated and gasping for breath.
ii was then that Mr.. Miller tried the in
vention and it worked like a charm.
The cap is made of fine strips of as
bestos conformed TO the shape of the
head. 1t Is held fast in place by a rub
Der band, making II a~ir-tight. Its
weight is only sixteen ounces and il is
so constructed as TO enable a person
to carry 1t on the arm without inSon-
venience. There is a strip of mica be-
lore the eyes. so no Inconvenience is
suffered In this respect. A silk sponge,
through which no smoke can enter. but
which permits the ingrcss OF air in
plentiful quantities. fills an aperture
for the mouth, and when properly ad-
Justed the cap is so simple that its eff
cacy is apparent at n glance.
When ii is understood that firemen
are unable TO remain in a smoking
building longer than three or four min
utes at a time an invention of this char
acter, which enables a nan to grope
about in a sitting atmosphere for an
hour. certainly reduces chances Of los

is persuaded that only by strict adher-

tinue its onward march to progress.
Then his name will be glorifed. and he
will have nothing to fear from the reac-
tionary spirits who seem to regard him

This is ladies day" at Ingleside. The
great match race for a stake of $4,000 be-
tween w. OBJ Macdonough's Orestes, the
priced two-year-old son of Ormonde, and
Walter Hobart's slashing Salvador colt
San Mateo, is the special feature of the
great card. No match in years has aroused
such general interest as this, and the man
agement look for one of the largest crowds
of the season. Ormonde, "the horse of
the century," was England's greatest race
horse, and landed in California cost Mr..
Macdonough $150,OO0 Salvador, practi-
cally unbeatable in his day, was the idol
of the American turf, so that the match
partakes of an international character.
Willie Flynn appeared to have such
hard luck on horses that received any sort
of substantial backing that when he was
left at the post in the two-year-old race
with HohenZollern, the judges concluded
to suspend him indefinitely.
Coady was substituted in place of Flynn
on Don Cesar, and rode a ll-judged
race. Fair Faith, who finished second,
appears to be unfortunate, Tor he was un-
doubtedly the best horse in the race.

of the statue was made to Congress by
Wisconsin, it was declared that no re-
ligious garb. no secular emblem, should
have place in the Capitol.
but before they shut out the religious
emblems they will have to shut out the
memories of the discovery and the settle
ment of America. They cannot blot
away the records of tie inspirations which

the Catholics TO Maryland.

mitted to shut him out.
