watched a hawk soaring upward you will
understand what mean. Its course is al
ways spiral. Every previous flying ma
chine has either gone against the wind or
outstripped 1t in speed. since the machine
must depend upon he air for its lifting
power. Hargrave's machine for instance,

from what have read of this new inven-
top. that, supposing it went up in a good
breeze, that part of its course with the
wind behind it would be about on a level
and that when 1t reached the quadrant of
the circle where 1t ran into the wind it
would rise rapidly.
Some time ago Professor Langley was
experimenting with a sx-winged aero
plane believing that an increase in the
number OF wings gave an increase in STA
bihty. L should not be surprised TO hear
that this was six-winged flying machine
AT any rate, l shall await with great in

An Intensive Calculation,
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

An Ohio farmer having given detailed
account of his operations fer a year on
5000 farm of 16O acres, showing a net
return Of about 500 after paying expenses,
including the support Of his family, a
South Carolina paper rises to remark that
such farming would not be regarded as
profitable in that state. 1t mentions the
case Of South Carolina farmer who netted
last year 1886 from a single acre, planted
first in tobacco and then in turnips. This
figure applied to 16O acres would mean
profits of SCI, 100 The average tiller of the
soil would he willing to throw off $50, 600 of
this amount for his annual net returns, and
yet the hint given regarding the possibili-
ties of intensive farming is clearly applica-
BILE to the agriculture of the future.

Not So Much Champagne Nowadays


Recent statistics show that we are drink
Ing less champagne and more beer, and the
figures are instructive. The statistics Of
the custom house show that the import of
champagnes decreased in 1894 about %, 900
cases, aid in 1895 more than II 600 cases.
Apparently the champagne drinkers con-
soled themselves with beer. The total con-
cumption of beer in the United States for
the year ending last June was 1884, 400 SCI
barrels, which was an increase over the
consumption of the previous year of 49,

aged about fifteen gallons for every man.

average consumption CT beer varies great
