the plans and movements of the enemy
miles away, consists of three large
cylinders, two of equal size and one
larger one, all of aluminium. The two
small cylinders are cigar-shaped, and
are held in place side by side and sus-
pended from the larger cylinder, which
is about 1s feet long and eight feet
in diameter at the front, while the
stern is somewhat smaller.
Projecting from each side of this main
cylinder are two sheets of aluminium,
which might be termed wings. They
are seven feet long and three feet in
width. At the stern of the cylinder
there is fixed a large but light fan
wheel or propeller, which, when in mo-
ton, acts in the air exactly as ships
propeller does in the water, forcing the
car onward through space.
Extending downward are four light
but strong steel rods, to which are at
tached the two smaller cylinders, paral-
lei with each other, but sufficiently far
apart to allow for the working of the
machinery of the car between them.
When it is known that an enemy's
ship is in the vicinity, the services of
the aerial observation car are called
into requisition. The cylinders are par
TALLY filled with gas, which is carried
for that purpose in q large storage tank
on board the ship. The car is then
lowered over the ships side into the
water, and the rider takes his seat
upon the machine. The filling of the
cylinders is then completed and the
iairship rises from the water like a
huge sea bird
High up in the air the rider has an
unobstructed view over miles of water.
No bullets can reach him, and with
powerful glass he can at his leisure
locate the hostile ship or ships and
by the signal code give the information
to his own ships officers, who are
watching him through their marine
glasses.
When it is desired to return to the
| ship the turning of lever beneath
the handle bar of the machine opens n
set of valves in each of the three cyliny
ders and allows as much or as little
of the gus to escape as the rider may
desire. Instead of sinking directly
down now, as would an ordinary balloon
when the gas is allowed to escape, this
aerial car descends in diagonal direc-
tion. being enabled to do so by the
wings, aided by the propeller and wheel.
AS not all the gas is exhausted from
the cylinders, the car rides lightly over
the top of the waves; at the same time
the rider is clear of the water and in
no danger of a wetting. The lead-bal-
lasted cylinders maintain the machine
in proper position, and the demonstra-
tions by models have proved that quite
rapid progress can be made with this
| car.

FLOATING In THE AIR.
New Aeroplane Designed for the
Imperial Russian Navy.
ny IT'S Means the Movements OF Hos
tile WnrHhips Cnn BE Seen from
Afnr-Buoyed Up by AIum-
inium Cylinders.

The aerial observation car, an in
genious device which has just been per-
fected by Paul Skobeloff, q. Russian
naval expert, is destined to be of great
service in marine warfare, as by its
application the officers of one fleet can
be apprized of the enemy's movements
by signals from the clouds, while the
enemy will be ignorant of being
watched.
This invention is to some extent a
modification and a vast improvement
upon the war balloon, yet it bears so
little resemblance to the usually con-
ceived idea of that machine that the
observer might we'll be pardoned for
mistaking it for anything except an
airship. 1t is, in fact, combination of

and opportunity 10 arrange and perfect
his plans for successful trip among
the clouds. AS n result of his thought
and labor he has just completed the
aerial observation car, and after having
successfully tried a working model, a
large one is now being constructed at
Vladivostock, and it will in the early
spring be placed in actual service on
one of the Russian war ships of the
Pacific squadron.

tellectual power he possesses is brought
into play. He must meet and outstrip
men on their own ground. He must
keep his finger, moreover, on the pulse
of the world. He must take daily note
of the complex ebb and flow of trade,
and of the large Improvements and en-
terprises in all parts of the world. He
must understand the policy of govern
ments, and must calculate to q nicely
the exact effect upon commerce of every
public happening. To succeed in these
manifold endeavors he must, first of all,
know men, and the motives which actu-
ate them, in way that is beyond the
reach, because of the sex difference, OF
even the cleverest women. Woman
lacks both the psychological nature and
the physical equipment for large finan-
cial dealing. All of her woman's in
stincts would interfere with her sue
cess. OF course, know that there are
many women who have been success
full in business in a small way, and 1
am glad of it. like to see everybody
have the opportunity to do what they
can do. No obstacle should be put in
the way of women in the business
world. They should be treated with
all the Difference which is due their
sex. l don't believe there is any ques-
tion of this in the mind of any true
man; at the same time, there cannot be
in business office that elaborate
courtesy which prevails in the drawing
room. 1 think, moreover, that it is
rather an excess of courtesy on the
part of tired business man to give an
apparently strong woman a seat in a
car.

Aunt June's anger had cooled some

which she did her trading. The but

was slow the merchant was patient;
for Aunt June's butter was of the best,

Uncle Jake, her "ole man." There were
seven pounds of fresh, yellow butter in
the tin pail at her feet, in exchange for
which she would bring many comfort
to the cabin that she and Jake had
bought with their own savings; the
deed of it was safely registered in the
clerks Office in town.
Aunt June scowled, grunted, and then
sighed for the less fortunate ones of
ber race; but as she said, the town negro
had no love for the quiet country life
that had been her prosperity.
The wagon had passed through the
last tollgate when Aunt June spied an
acquaintance among some workmen
who were repairing bridge over which
her team must pass. She pulled up the
mule and beckoned the man to her.
He came promptly, and stood with his
hand upon the mules back while pass
ing the compliments of the day.
"How you do, Mis- Pennin ton 2" said
he. Il ain see you in long time"
Use toler'ble." was the reply. "You-

but the most remarkable thing about
them is the symmetry of their struc-
turc, which is absolutely mathematical.
AS weathered out from the cliffs they
are always perpendicular.
What are they? AS to this there are
several theories. Some think they are
fossil gopher notes.-the underground
homes of rodents related to modern
gophers, which lived perhaps couple
of million years ago. Another theory
is that geysers made them, another that
lightning caused them, but Prof. Bar
bour is certain that they are fossil
plants, and that they grew, great for
ests of them, in water ages and ages

The negro broke into a laugh so loud
that his fellow-workmen looked from
their work to smile encouNgingly, and
wonder what had tickled him so. He

the question in order to prove herself

that he could not contain himself.
Aunt June gathered up her lines and
clucked to the white mule. "Git up

as he was called on ordinary occasions,
began to whimpeh
Since the baby was born he had been
its nurse; not willing one always, but
always n faithful one. To-day, for the
first time, the rebellion took fearful
turn.
"Shet up, tell yer, and ten ter dat
chile. Po' little sister; ain yer shame

Won't yer fetch me q stick of striped
candy?" sobbed Wash, seeking to make
the best of an unpleasant duty.
"I'll fetch n stick ter stripe yer back

If the rebellion was bitter, it was
short-lived. Before the crazy little
wagon had creaked out of sight Wash
was squatted beside his sister, indus
triously stuffing her with the big bis
cult that had been provided for her re-
freshment.
Aunt June, sailing into the county
town in all the grandeur of her own
turnout, soon forgot all about the chill
dren in the cabin ut home. George
Washington was to be relied upon, she
knew, and so she gave herself no further
uneasiness on the subject.
Aunt June always went to town in
style. The big basket went along for
style, too, for Aunt June was not neg
lectful of her reputation, which was

Nor ice, nor storm. nor cruel blast
Can hold these heroes back;
They have resolved: the die Is cast
For freedom 8 causel A track
OF blood upon the snow they've left
From shoeless feet and bare;
OF all life's comforts they're bereft,
Beside the Delaware.
But "Onward! Onward" is the word
Their brave commander speaks.
When thro the storm his voice Is heard
Each son of freedom seeks
To do his bidding put aside
Is every woe and care
There's vict'ry o'er the icy tide.
Across the Delaware.
On through the gloomy, stormy night
With hardShips dire they cope
HFor God, and native land. and right!"
Their watchword and their hope;
Until at last, all cold and dark,
They greet the morning glare:
Safe thro' the tide they've reached the
bank
Across the Delaware.
And then, nine miles beyond they go,
With steady. solemn tread.
To where the hated Hessian foe
Sleep in their drunken bed.
Aroused from dissipation doze
In wild surprise they stare.
And conquered. give their swords to
those
Who crossed the Delaware.
This. children. is the story true
OF noble, fearless men;
And may its lesson be to you
A guide and solace when
Storms hover near, my brave grandson,
And you, granddaughter fair
Press onward, till the vict'ry's won
Across Life's Delaware.
