ArRsHrP WHICH Is UNIQUE.

One Of the queer, Improbable ideas
brought to the surface By the New
York Evening Journals offer Of $1,000
for the best scheme or instrument Of
warfare Is the sailing Eirship designed
by Prof. e. Urban Of Allentown, Pa,
who Is. according to his letter heads.
Americas Greatest Portrait Artist."
The workings Of this aerial vessel are
best explained by Prof. Urbain's own
words:
This ship requires no machinery Of
any kind" says he. "AIl the secrets
are In the construction Of the sails. Ny
sails are filed with gas, the same as
a balloon, and divided by compart-
ments from eight to ten feet IN cir
conference by two feet wide. A sail
could be hit by bullets many times be-
fore II would be disabled. This airship
would sail better and quicker than a
vessel sailing on water. ! would build
an airship seventy feet long and TWEEN
ty feet wide; II would be aluminium
and gas for the sails could be made On
board. The sails will contain 800 feet
Of Ess Dynamite and torpedoes can
be carried" Prof Urban asks with
fine appeal to the self-evident fact:
why spend millions Of dollars IN
building ocean battleships which can

WEDDING GIFTS.

Peculiar Welsh Custom That Has Almost
Fallen Into DIsuse.
Throughout the neighborhood Of Car
marthen and other parts Of South
Wales the custom Of wedding bid
dings" prevails. A bidding Is an
invitation sent out by a couple about
to be married to their friends and
neighbors to solicit their attendance,
and their contributions towards the
purchase Of articles required by the
young housekeepers on entering the
matrimonial state. Needless to say.
on some occasions the gifts brought
forth at q bidding" represent q very
fair amount Of property, and certainly
AFFORD most valuable assistance to the
young couple In furnishing their cot
tage. A person called bidder" is
appointed to visit the houses of friends.
In the event, however, Of this func-
tionary declining the task, notices are
sent out such as the one reproduced
below. Like many other interesting
old customs this, too. Is falling into
desuetude. The notice Is as follows:
"As we intend to enter the matri-
monial state, on Tuesday, the It'll day
Of December next, we are encouraged
by our friends to make BIDDING on
the occasion, the same day, at the Sign
Of the Three Salmons, Water street;
when and where the favor Of your
good company is humbly solicited, and
whatever donation you may be pleased
to bestov on us then will be received
with gratitude and repaid with pune
tuality, whenever called for on a SIM
liar occasion, by your humble servants.
