Especial Chicago Letter

Scientific kite flying owes much to
the experiments of Arthur b. Harbert,
of Evanston, suburb of Chicago. A
little over year ago Mr.. Harbert's at
tention was attracted to the subject of
kite flying by an article in magazine.
His interest in the subject led him to
begin series of experiments, in which
he has evolved new form of kite, and
has entered upon the new and interest
ing field of kite sailing on the water.
1t is in this latter connection that
he has come most prominently before
the public within few weeks. All of

A Papier Mache Nose,

arrested for shoplifting in Paris. went
off in fit when she arrived at the
station, and an inspector tried to re-
vive her by applying smelling salts to
her nose. The woman remained in a
state of coma, and showed no signs
of returning to consciousness. Then
the inspector tweaked her by the nose,
and, to his horror, that organ came of
in his hand, being made OF papiAa

THE LATEST ANIMAL.

1t Takes the Al a Month or More to
Go Single Mile.
In the deep forests along the Amazon
river in South America there dwells
one of the oldest and LATEST creatures
in the world. 1t walks upside down;
it rarely, if ever, drinks, and it is said
to feel no pain. The animal Is known
as the al, from it's peculiar piping cry,
or the three-toed sloth. The last name
is very appropriate, for lazier animal

ONCE MORE THEY TRY.
San Francisco A gain Claims TO Have Solved
the Flying Problem.

Leonard f. Clausen and Adam Beck,
well known business men of San Francis
CO, believe that they have solved the prob
lem Of aerial navigation. They have just
made application for patents and are at
work now on the construction of an air
ship or flying machine embodying tho
principles they have studied out
The machine consists essentially Of four
rods, each 30 feet long, parallel to each
other, working on ball bearings In well
braced framework, supporting the motive
power and steering apparatus below. On
each of these rods is a series of double
wings, constructed OF steel wire frame
work, over which silk Is stretched. These
are so arranged I'm relation 10 each other
that when one wing is rising open the 9TH
er is descending closed, and also maiptains
the balance OF the machine. Thus hal the
wings are at every instant pressing down
ward, while the other half are rising, but
not pressing upward. Should the motive
power foil for any reason the entire wing
surface instantly forms n parachute.
A machine 20 feet long and with n bear
Ing surface feet WIDE &c ~ believed,
can bc made To- raise n weight OF 600
pounds, one occupant alone supplying tho
motive power.
The machine now being built will be in
It's mechanical construction strictly up 90
date. The inventors believe that In quan.
titles such machines could be built for Sl00
apiece.

Now, and ~ was all done more rapidly
than I have told IL, he found himself
pulling the horse 10 its launches where
Miss Lowell stood beside the fainting
form of Miss Hodges.
"ouiclsl Up!" he shouted, gasping
for breath.
"Take her first" said the girl, point
ing 10 her companion.

eyes

Then she looked a. ,iIe line OF belching

spun his horse around and was riding

He was conscious that he was fright

minutes ago had vanished. Still, there
was more work TO be done, and, dis
mounting. he took Miss Hodges in his
arms. and. climbing back upon the
steaming animal, turned him once moro

The Young Man Forgot what Onice He
Had Gone to Ask For.
A peculiar incident of embarrassment on
the part Of young office seeker occurred
in Major McKinley's library the other
morning which illustrates that all office
seekers are not as bold as they appear. A
young man of 1orid complexion and golden
hair from one OF the middle states had
come many miles to present a request TO
the president elect for personal considera.
ton. He was ushered into the library and
took his seat with the waiting crowd on
.he leather covered sofa near the door. The
score or more Of visitors who crowded the
room chatted and read the newspapers,
awaiting their turn with the major In the
adjoining room. Ono after another was
disposed of, anu tten the president elect
appeared at the door in person.
The young man on the sofa arose In def.
erence to the majors presence and found
himself suddenly confronted by the man he
had come SO far 20 see. Major Mckinley
extended his hand In the familiar way
which he has of preventing hand squeeze
and said, Now, Mr.. Jones, / will see
you"
Taken so completely by surprise, the Wis.
itor turned first crimson and then deadly
pale. He tried 10 speak, but his words
came in gutterals, while his eyes seemed to
increase 10 the size of dollars. Finally he
regained his voice and stammered out,
why, why, major, 1 came TO see you
about an office, but have forgotten what
office it is want"
This was too much for the crowd, and
an audible smile went around the room.
The major saw that the young man was
actually suffering from embarrassment
The perspiration was standing out on his
forehead like beads.
ooh, II that is ALL" said the major in
the kindliest tones, "you had better step
out into Jhe hall a little while, and will
see you after have disposed of some of
these other callers"
The unfortunate victim thanked him
and retired. Whether he recovered from
his embarrassment do not know, but IL
is needless TO say that his card did not read
from Ohio Cleveland Plain Dealer.
