The Filing Man.

Otto Lilienthal, who for several
years has been practicing the art of
flying, or soaring, with artificial wings
near Berlin, has recently made an i'm
provement In his apparatus. Instead Of
single large framework for the
wings" he now uses two smaller
frames. one placed above the other. and
connected by cords. This device has
greatly increased the sailing power Of
his machine. Starting from the top Of
the artificial hill which he has thrown
UP in the midst of broad plain, Lilien-
thai is able not only to glide for long dis
tances in the air, but to sail against the
wind. Formerly he had to take pre-
liminary run before launching himself
from the hill. but now. with moder-
ately brisk wind, he can start without
running. and II the breeze is strong
enough it lifts him from the hilltop and
sets him moving against its own direc-
ton without an effort IN his part ex-
cept to balance himself properly. He
has even occasionally risen above the
point from which he started. Lilien7
thai has had one or two serious falls.
but is confident that he can accomplish
much more than he has yet done in the
realm Of the birds.

II Free Trade Was Good for England
Then Protection Was Much Better for
America - Statistics Sustain the
Glorious Growth.

The idea is being spread by the enc
mics of the policy of protection that a
free-trade policy has proven to be an
excellent thing for the United Kingdom.
hence that it must necessarily be good
for the UEited States. They forget that
there are many different conditions in
the two countries. British farmers have
had enough experience of free trade,
and so have British manufacturers of
cotton goods. iron and steel ware,
brooms and brushes. matches, mats,
buttons and other things made on the
continent Of Europe that are now be-
ing sold largely in the English mar
ket.
Let us grant for the sake of argu-
ment, that free-trade has been q good
thing for the United Kingdom. But let
us see If protection has not been a bet
ter thing for the United States.
From 1916 to 1875, with the excep-
ton OF four different years, the balance
OF trade has been against the United
States-our imports being larger than
our exports. From 1876 to 1895, period
of twenty years, this was the case dur
ing only three years our total exports
being 1926, 1872 ,4S0 larger than our i'm
ports during the other seventeen years,
the net excess of exports for the TWEEN
ty. years being S2,1S6, 1851, 1858. During
this same period. 1876 to 1895. British

Spenker Reeii's Views.

Although Speaker Reed will not pub
licly express opinions respecting the
situation, it is well understood from his
mots intimate associates and friends
that he has been in hearty sympathy
with all the efforts that have been made
to get the Dingley bin through Con-
gress. 1t is further understood that he
regards it as great misfortune that the
measure. cannot be passed. He is
known to have said that had the meas
ure passed our industries would have
had some revival, and, when supple
mented by the advent of the Republican
party and suitable legislation, they
would have gone gradually onward in
a healthy and prosperous way. No
nation, as Mr.. Reed thinks, can be in a
sound state when, in time OF peace, its
revenues are suffered to fall below it's
expenditures.

Future of the PonorAmN.

There are few better educators than
the panorama. Who of us cannot re-
member our first impressions Of vari-
Gus countries and changing scenes as
opened to our view by the panorama.
OF late, however. this form OF exhibition
has fallen into disuse, largely. no doubt.
because It is too unwieldy, and involves
too much time, money and labor. to be
profitable. The new idea in panoramic
or cycloramic art is exceedingly inter-
esting. as showing the advance in
methods on this line. A prepared wall.
lining a cylindrical chamber. is all that
Is required as permanent plant. Upon
this wall pictures are thrown after the
fashion of stereopticon views. The ap-

nents. Vanishing effects and tones or
all grades, from the brightest to the
most shadowy. are at hand. With this
equipment it Is possible to picture the
