What is the principle that underlies it
all 1t is that the law of supply and

''Deccrease the quantity of money

you increase the value of a dollar.
When you understand that principle

in free flight which, after gaining veloc- ity, shall make the best course.
 The Lilienthal Aeroplane is I remark ably clever device, and while it is not yet of practical value for making pro- tracted journeys in midair, it is, never theless, a hopeful indication of the prog ress made. It's purpose is to initiate the soaring of birds, as we'll as their or dinary flight, which is effected by the Tapping of their wings. The improved
 machine comprises two wings, which, after the manner of birds wings, are slightly vaulted upwards. The wings are fixed by two rods laid erosswise, one upon the other, and finally connected together. thus forming carrying frame, or part of carrying frame, to which the person intending to fly may hold, so as to be suspended between the two wings The inventor says:
 "One can fly long distances with quite simple devices, without taxing his strength at all, and this kind of safe and free motion through the air affords greater pleasure than any other kind of sport. From raised starting point particularly from the top of hin, one can, after some practice, soar through the air, reaching the earth only after having gone great distance. For this purpose I have hitherto employed a sailing apparatus very like the out spread pinions of soaring bird. The apparatus consists of q wooden frame covered with cotton twill, which is taken hold of by the hands, the arms resting between cushions. The steering is brought about by changing the cen ter of gravity. This apparatus I had constructed with supporting surfaces of ten to twenty square meters. The large sailing surfaces move in an incline of one to eight, so that one is led to fly eight times as far as the starting hill is high. The rudder is fastened firmly behind in horizontal and yer tical position.
 '"Fhe machines weigh from B to 55 pounds. In order to practice flying with these sailing surfaces one first takes short jumps on somewhat in clined surface till he has accustomed himself to be borne by the air. Finally he is able to sail over inclined surfaces as far as he wishes. The charm of such flight is indescribable, and there could not be q healthier motion or more eX- citing sport in the open air. The present rivalry in these exercises cannot but

!. lead to a constant perfecting of the apparatus. The construction is such that it resembles in all it's parts a strut frame. the joints of which are calcu- lated to stand pull or pressure, in order to combine the greatest strength with the least weight. A single grip of the hand is sufficient to attach the apparat- us safely to the body, and one gets out of the apparatus just as quickly on landing. In case of storm the flying sail is folded up in half a minute and can be laid by anywhere. If one should not care to fold the apparatus he may await the end of the storm under cover of the wings, which are capable of pro- tecting 20 persons.
 Ny experiments tend particularly in two directions. On the one side I en- deavor to carry my experiments in sail ing through the air with immovable wings to this extent: 1 practice the overcoming of the wind in order to pen citrate, if possible, into the secret of con tinued soaring flight. On the other hand try to attain the dynamic flight by means of Tapping wings, which are in troduced simply as an addition to my sailing flight. The mechanical ccntriy- ances necessary for the latter, which can reach certain perfection only by gradual development, do not allow yet of my making known any definite re- suits. But may'-state that since my flights of last summer 1 am on much more intimate terms with the wind. It strikes the flying surface from above. The flying body shoots downward like an arrow and might be dashed to pieces.
 "Just as the starting from the earth is rather difficult for the larger birds, the human body being still heavier, meets with peculiar difficulties at the first flight upwards. The larger birds take running start against the wind, or throw themselves into the air from elevated point in order to obtain free use of their pinions. The case is sim liar in human flight. But on taking a, running start from correspondingly inclined surface, it is easy to begin ones flight. even if there is no wind. Man must follow the example of the birds and start against the wind. but he needs hill in the shape of flat cone, from the top of which he may take starts against the wind in any direction. For this purpose have an artificial hill, IS

Larry Dolan thought it the coldest night he had ever experienced as he spun along the wide suburban avenue Larry was a messenger employed by the Mutual District Messenger com pany, and as his station covered a large suburban area he was often called upon to make long rides upon his bicycle to answer the calls of the patrons of the company. In nearly all of the rich suburban homes were the little electric call boxes which enable the owners to summon messenger by turning a crank.
 He had been in the service about Q year; in fact, ever since his arrival ir America from "Auld Ireland" as he called it. He had been quick to learn the ways of his adopted country, ard on account of his shrewdness and indus try was considered one of the best boys Tn the service.
 Bad luck to the man that called for a messenger this night" said Larry to himself, as he coasted down a grade, steadying his bicycle with his feet while he rubbed his ears vigorously with his disengaged hands. In his long night rides he had contracted the habit of talking to himself, ito kape me com pany," as he expressed it. "Cowld as it is, and late, too, he ought to be ashamed to ask anyone to come this distance. Besides, l don't believe he meant to ring for a bye, anyhow, as the annunciator only futtered bit and did not turn in a full call" In fact, this circumstance had led the night clerk to suspect that it was not call, and he was once on the point of telling Larry. not to answer it.
 ssIt makes me mad to think all this is for Col. Collamore," muttered Larry,

as broad bar of light shone into the hall.
 With his heart beating so loud that he imagined he could hear it, Larry crept up the stairs, clinging close to the wall and avoiding the bannisters for fear of making noise. He stopped on the landing, and applying his ear close to the open door, could plainly hear the conversation in the room. Apparently there were three men, and they were discussing the adyisability of blowing open small safe which stood in the room, evidently the receptacle of the silver and other valuables of the house hold. One of the men was for trying to pick the combination lock, as the noise of the explosion, he feared, might awaken the servants in the rear Of the the colonel would not be home that night, and they might as well take their time to make good job of it.
 Having heard this much, and being satisfied of the intentions of the in- truders, Larry quietly descended the stairs and returned to the library to put his idea into execution. He first closed the door leading into the hall and then groped his way in the dark ness of q corner of the room where he knew telephone instrument was lo- cated. Larry had often sat in this room waiting for the colonel to answer messages he had brought from the city station and was familiar with the apart ment.
 He knew that this telephone had patented arrangement attached to the transmitter to enable one to speak in lower tone of voice. By the aid of this instrument one could almost speak in a whisper, and yet be distinctly under stood by the listener at the other end or the wire.
 Covering the two call bells on the tele- phone with his hand to deaden the sound of eirringing, Larry turned the crank once and taking down the re- ceiver listened for the reply of the op- orator at the central office.
 Give me a279." said Larry. In T low

While the problem of how man might profitably fly through the air in imita- tion of birds and successfully meet the varying atmospheric conditions, has not yet been solved, there is movement now in force that presents positive pro- gress in this direction. 1t seems as though the prophecy of Sir George Cay ley, of 400 years ago, that this noble art would soon be brought home to mans general convenience, so that it would be possible for him to transport himself and family, with goods and chattles, more securely by air than by the present method. and in less time,' '' may be fulfilled.
 There is new ground for hope that the 10th century may see some practical re- suits of value to the world in this field. A bill asking encouragement from the government has been drawn by Mir. James Means, of Boston, and introduced in the senate by Mr. Lodge, from which a afavorable report is expected. It is now in the hands of the senate committee. and authorizes and directs the secretary of the treasury to pay the sum of $1oo,- 900 to any person, from whatever part of the world, who shall at any time prior to the 1st of January. 1901, construct an apparatus that will, on a verified report of committee of three members. ap- pointed by the secretary of war, demon strate within, or near the city of Wash ington, practicability of safely navi- gating the ar at a speed of not less than 30 miles per hour, and capable of carry ing freight and passengers, weighing a total of not less than 400 pounds.
 Section } provides: That the secre- tary of the treasury shall pay the sum of $25,ooo to any person from whatever part of the world, who shall at any time prior to the 1st of January, 1900, con struct an apparatus that will on the same veriication conditions demon strate the safety of navigating the air in free flight for distance of one mile

"the most disagreeable old eurmudgeon on the line. Didn't he have me taken to the station house last summer, charged with stealing his pears, whin I'd been to his place to answer call? There's no telling how it would have ended, either, if the mounted policemen on the beat had not come in with the very bye from the reform farm that he had caught with basketful of the colonel's pears. An the colonel niver so much as said: I beg your pardon, Larry for the hurt to me feelings. As for that, he does not seem to know me name, and only says when he sees me: Hello, 26, is that you% Bad luck to him and the cold weather together
 Having restored the circulation in his benumbed ears, Larry increased his speed, and with head bowed against the cutting wind sped out the avenue at a rate which soon brought the dark out lines et the Collamore villa to view This was large three-story Queen Anne house, setting back some distance from the avenue and surrounded by trees and shrubbery.
 As he rode up to the side entrance he was surprised to see no light in the eolonels library and office. The only light visible was one that shown from a second-story bedroom. The absence of light in the library led Larry to be- lieve that the call had been q mistake for if a messenger were needed the colonel would be in that room which he used as an office. Larry knew that the colonel wonld likely be aione, for the family were in Florida for the winter
 He dismounted and leaning his bicy cle against the carriage block was about to ring the bell when he was startled 1o see that . window leading into the library was open.
 Faith. now, an' what does this mean 2" said Larry half aloud, following his habit of talking to himself. He ap- preached the window and then he saw large semi-circular hole in the bottom of the upper pane, the piece of glass that had been removed lying upon the ground, and near it gunny sack which

rattled when he touched 1t with his foot. This discovery caused something like q cold chill to course down his back.
 Burglars" thought Larry. as he stopped down and felt the tools in the bag. Within the next few minutes the boys busy brain did a great deal of thinking. His first impulse was to ride away and leave the burglars undls- turbed.
 Why should bother meself looking out for him?" thought Larry. bitterly. Sure, he's treated me badly enough and it would only serve him right Almost immediately he was ashamed of himself for harboring such thought and the hetter nature of the sturdy Irish lad came to the top.
 Faith. I'll get even with him another way" he thought, land do my duty teo. I'm the only one that can save the colonel from a robbery now, and I'll do it." 1t occurred to him to mount his bicycle and ride for assistance, but he remembered that the nearest police sta- tion was nearly two miles distant and unless he should meet some struggling patrolman, the burglars would have time to get away before help arrived. While debating this matter his eye fell upon his bicycle lamp which was mak- ing a bread streak of light on the drive way. He quickly rolled the wheel aslde and hid behind the shrubbery, turning out the light.
 Then Larry resolved on a bold step; he would go into the house by the way the burglars had entered. He felt sure the marauders were upstairs in the vicinity of that light, and Larry had an idea which, if it could be successfully carried out, would furnish the quickest means of obtaining assistance. The lower window sash was raised to it's full height, the burglars having cut a piece from the upper pane to enable them to get at the window fastener. Larry silently climbed through the open window and dropped noiselessly into the library. Then he removed his shoes and stole out into the hall, waile- ing without noise in his stocking feet. At the foot of tbe stairway he paused, hearing voices in the room above. The door of the room was evidently open,

or more in descending line, the point of alighting to be not more than s6 feet lower than the point of starting.
 Boston has practically become the center of flying machine interest. The Boston Aeronautical society, which was organized last May with Prof. William H. Pickering, Haryard's well-known as- tronomer, as president, and Albert A. Merrill, secretary, has taken up the ln- yestigation with renewed vigor. Mr. James Means, who is a graduate of the Institute of Technology, is also an of- ficer in the new society. MT. Means has just issued the second number of "The Aeronautical Annual" The volume shows great advance over the first num- Der issued q year ago, in it's contents. Otto Lilienthal, the famous Berlin aerial scientist, contributes m interesting article to it's columns.
 The Boston Aeronautical society pro- poses to erect q laboratory near the city, where we'll paid men may be employed in that line of experimenting. 1t will probably be barnlike structure, near the center of level tract, with large sheet of water not far away. Such building would answer the twofold purpose of workshop and place for the storage of apparatus. For the year 1896 a part of the money raised will be paid out 10 the worlds experimenters in the form of cash prizes. These are to be awarded for certain kinds of ap- paratus which are much needed. The 7 sum already guaranteed to the fund is sufficient to provide prizes well worth contending for. but as it is hoped that the fund will be constantly increased, the definite amount of the prizes will not be made public until the first of next May.
 The competitive trials will probably take place at field meeting of the SO ciety to be held next autumn, in the vi- cinity of Boston. Designers unable to attend are invited to send apparatus, which will be tested by committee of the society," Five prizes will be offered as follows: For the kite showing the maximum of lift to the minimum of drift in q breeze having velocity of more than 15 miles an hour, and also in a breeze of less than Is miles an hour; for kite keeping it's equilibrium i. through the greatest extremes of wind velocity; also, for the soaring machine

 sThe energetic effect of changing the center of gravity by apparatus designed for that purpose. and the safe starting of the apparatus obtained by it, gave me courage to trust myself to wind which at times exceeded velocity oi 24 miles an hour. This gave the most interesting results of all my practical flying experiments hitherto.

 In another moment he distinguished the voice of the night clerk at the Mu- tual District messenger office and the familiar ''Well?" with which that per son answered all telephone calls.
 "Misther Fisher, this is Larry," said the boy, in a whisper.
 "So I observe," answered the night clerk.
