Lilionthal, tho Flyer.

~
One of the best known and most skill
full flyers is a German named Lilienthal,
who, after years of study and trials.
made in the summer of 1891 pair of
wings curved like q great birds. AS
the result of his studies and expert.
ments, he believes curved surfaces bet
ter than fiat .planes-in which he agrees
with lie Bris, Goupil und Phillips, other
students of the subject. All these men
believe that the curved shape of birds
wings has much to do with their flying,
helping them toy against the wind
a strange effect which the French have
named respiration" Provided, then,
with wings and tail, Lilienthal began to
practice, at first upon aspiring BOARD.
and afterward in billy region near
Berlin. Even after he was able to sail
as far as so feet, he found that it was
best to arrange the wings SO that they
could be easily thrown off: otherwise,
he ,coolly says: II might have had a
broken neck. instend of sprains which
always healed in q few weeks" In 1s9:
he made larger wings, and learned 10
sail further than BEFORE: rising 20 or
20 feet from, the ground upon q. favoripg
wind. Since then Lilienthal has ut
tached to his wings powerful little
engine, and he is now making attempts
to learn it's management. Just what
he. has done is not known yet: but he
has fewer accidents, and improves as
time goes on.-Tudor jerks, in St. Mich

. A Wonderful Lizard.

), Living specimens of the strange
frilled lizard Of Australia, scientifically
named chlamydosaurus, have recently
been transported to England, where
photography has most convincingly
proved the truth of the legend that
these animals, which sometimes attain
length of three feet, are in the habit
of running about erect on their hind
legs. The lizards are furnished with a
broad frill, or collar, around the neck,
which lies folded unless the animal is
threatened. In that case it immediate
" spreads it's frill like q suddenly
opened umbrella to brighten of it's
enemy. When running on its hind legs,
with it's long tail swinging in the air, it
presents an irresistibly ludicrous ap-
pearance. There was q time, in the
Jurassic age, when this method of To-
comotion was common among giant
reptiles, but now the chlamydosaurus
is the sole surviving species of reptile
which assumes an erect attitude when
running.-Scientiflc American.

SHEEP-KlLLiNo DOGS.

Damage They Do Runs Into the Millions
Every Year.
The damage done to the sheep inter
csts by dogs is beyond comprehension.
The loss annually runs up into the mil
lions. That is, the direct loss. There
is another loss, indirect; many farmers
have discontinued keeping sheep en-
.irely from the reason that their. losses
nave in the past been SO large from the
dcpredations of dogs that their profits
were swept away. The dog laws passed
have been imperative to, a. large ex-
tent, while in some states they have en-.
countered SO much opposition that they
have been repealed after being in force
only few months.
It seems to US that a dog law might
he passed that would be effective and
yet occasion no great opposition. Peo'
pie will keep dogs. But it is not ncces-
sary that they should keep large dogs:
that is, dogs large enough to kill a
sheep. A law might be framed taxing
dogs above a certain weight. This
would be putting premium on small
dogs, and we are of the opinion that
they would be more fashionable than
ut present. The weight could be put
ut the point where the sheep industry
would be protected.
It is a pity that the farmers must be
taxed millions Of dollars each year in
tine way of dead sheep that the rest Of
the community may have their house.

sheep raisers to give their experience
