OTTO LILIENTHAL.

Otto Lilienthal, the engineer, who for many years had eSperimented in the building of flying machines, was killed at RhinoW, near Berlin, Monday, while trying to fly in one of his machines from hill-top. He was forty-eight years old, and was a builder of steam engines. He often succeeded in keeping in the air for some time with the aid of his artificial wings, which seemed to be adapted for sailing rather than for flying. His machine was made almost entirely of closely woven muslin, wash ed with collodion to render it imper- vious to air, and stretched upon rib bed frame of split willow, which was found to be the .lightest and strong est material for his purpose.

 @ BELT FAST @ V/ [IREL.ANDl I|
 V Ginger Ale N

now so well known m every English speaking country, was first introduced into America about 25 years ago, at which time a Belfast man ufactnrer was granted Royal Letters Patent upon the product.
 To-day the traveller would have to seek diligently for any part of the known world in which he could not find a bottle of the genuine article.
 In this country the fnan- ufaeture. of Ginger Ale, often labelled Belfast (which serves only to inden- tify 1t as an imitation of the imported), has become quite an industry. Any one knowing of the large quantities produced here, wonders why there is still room for the higher cost article made in Belfast: but in reality the two products do not greatly interfere with each other, the consumers of the Ginger Ale made In Ireland preferring 1t, and being perfectly willing to pay the difference In cost between it and the domestic article.
 The superiority of the Ginger Ale made in Belfast is said to bc due to the peculiar qualities of the "Cromac Spring'' water, drawn from artesian wells in the premises of the Belfast manufacturers.
