LANGLEY,s FLYING MACHINE.

The flying machine invented
by Prof. Samuel P. Langley, Oh
the Smithsonian Institute, is the
latest thing that is attracting the
attention of the scientific world.
Recently a series of expert
ments with the machine were
conducted by Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell. the inventor OF
the telephone. The machine is
known as the ''aerodrome. u
Professor Bells report shows
that the result of the test is rev
dictionary. The aerodrome, a
steel machine driven by a steam
engine, lifted itself to a height
of 100 feet and moved in a hori-
zontal course for half a mile.
When the steam was exhausted
it settled in the Potomac river
and was recovered unchanged. A
similar result attended a second
experiment.
This looks more like reaching
practical result in the produc~
ton Of a flying machine than
anything yet brought forward.
The report of Professor Bell,
the New York World points out,
indicates clearly the strength
and the weakness of the ma
chine. It shows that although
the problem of securing a steam
engine with sufficient power to
lift itself and the machine it
propels has been partly over
come, the practical difficulty of
finding the right motor for con-
tinuous flight still remains to be
reckoned with, "Bnt," adds the
World, ION the other hand a
machine constructed on scientific
principles has risen in the air
through actual flight and has &C
tually flown for half a mile. Balls
looms VIC have had in plenty, but
never before a machine which
has used its own weight as a full
crum in it's ascent. This is the
true principle. The ballon-ma-
chimes, being lighter than the
air, can never be directed, but
the machine that is purposely
made heavier than the air can
be, as soon as the right motor is
found"

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be a blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, inn
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what a life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so hat death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbunc1es, assesses and ulcers,
and no infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and we consumption.
Captain Henry Bond, late of the U. S.
Navy. has been a s~ea-faring man all his
life, and has been in all parts of the
world, having sailed twice around the
Cape of Good Hope, once around Cape
Horn and three times through the Suez
Canal. Captain Bond resides at the Ma
tional Military Home, Dayton, Ohio, and
in a recent letter says: "For t~hirty-two

CLERKS FOR CONGRESSMAN.

The House has passed a bill
appropriating 800 per month to
each Congressman for "clerk
hire" Congress is not in ses-
sion more than six months in the
year, so that a clerk would only
be needed about half the time.
The money not expended for
clerk hire will therefore go into
the pockets of the Congressman.
This is a roundabout method OF
giving Congressman larger cons
pensation. If member of Con
gress want more pay they should
say SO, and not endeavor to hide
behind a lot of clerks. real or
imaginary. The truth of the
matter is that while the average
Congressman Of late years is not
worth five cents per day, SO far
as the practical good he accom-
plishes for the country is con-
cerned, yet when the cost of liv-
ing in Washington and the ex-
penses incident to public life are
taken into consideration, it is
clear that our Senators and Re
personalities, are ~underpaid. But
this is hardly the time to in
crease the compensation, either
directly or Indirectly, when the
failure of these very Congress-
men to afford the country fnan-
cial relief renders rigid economy
in the conduct of the Govern
ment necessary. The bill passed
by the House is therefore but
further evidence of the penny
wise and pound foolish policy of
the present Congress, which cuts
down army and navy appropria-
tons, while endeavoring to
bring on war, only to increase
private grabs and put through
all sorts Of Jobs.

A USEFUL LIFE ENDED.

When Sir Henry Parkes, the
famous Australian statesman, who
died on April 81, at the age of
eighty, landed in Sydney in 1889,
he knew not a single creature on
the Southern Continent, and had
barely enough of this worlds
goods to maintain himself and his
little family till he should find
employment.
He was the son of a small farmer
of Warwickshire, Eng, and had
no school training save that which
the village school, which he was
obliged to leave at eleven years of
age, afforded him. His first work
in Australia was as a farm Ia
borer at $3.50 per year,
and a ration and a half of rice.
Little more than a decade later he
represented Sydney in the Legis-
%lature, and was thenceforward
continuously in public life. Bless
ed with fine intellect and persever
ance, Parkes supplied by close
study the defect of early educa-
ton.
In 1850 he established his news
paper, The Empire, and through
his leaders and his public speeches
all instinct with his own pro-
gressive spirit and practical and
disinterested patriotism-he soon
rose to the front rank among the
colony's public men.
He took part in thirty-two cleo
tons, sat for forty-three years in
Parliament, and was five times
Premier of New South Wales.
Nevertheless, he lived and died
poor, and was always faithful to
the Democratic ideals of his
youth.
