Clure's. Professor Langley's &C.
count of his ten years of hard study
and experiment in the construction
of flying machines, crowned at last
with machine that actually solves
and proves "mechanical flight" to be
both possible and practicable, is a
positive contribution to science.
The paper is illustrated with pictures
of Prof. Langley's own machine (the
only flying.machine that has ever
flown) made under his direction.
Gordon Clark proposes, as "The
Ultimate Trust Cure" that the peo.
pie should impose an annual tax of
2 per cent on all property. As the
average duration of human life is
so years, and as Mr.. Clark contends
that all property belongs ultimately
to the people, such a tax would, he
urges, be an easy and equitable meth
cd whereby the people would come
into their own. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not the patient will
take his medicine.-In June Arena.
To stand upon the peak of a ladder
at perhaps the 3rd or 4th story of
building. directing the stream of wa.
ter at the blazing interior. while the
thermometer is at about its lowest
point, is not a comfortable task.
Perhaps another stream is playing
over your head, and you stand in an
icy spray. Icicles hang from every
point of your fire-hat, and the rubber
coat frozen to your back; and the wa
ter that is falling about you freezes
as fast as it falls. Every movement
upon the ladder is fraught with dan.
ger; for it Is so incrusted with ice
that 1t is almost impossible to get a
solid foothold, and misster would
hurl you to the ground, 40 feet below.

describes peculiar class of people
to be found only in the mountainous
sections Of a few Of the southeastern
states. and the illicit industry which
exists among them. In all other re-
spects these mountaineers observe
the law of the land with as much re-
spect as will be found in any other
section. He is honest, as truthful as
the average man and as peaceable
and law abiding; but when the ques.
tion of "wild. eating" is up for dis.
cussion, all respect for law is cast
aside with the result that murder is
often committed. There are several
