NEW FLYING MACHINES.
American Eagles n the Motive Power For
One and Storks For the Others.

American Eagles as the Motive Power For
One and Storks For the Others.
Inventors of flying machines have
broken out afresh. Two of them consid-
er their inventions as suitable for war
purposes and have sent descriptions to
the ordnance department of the army,
with the information that the govern
ment can get the right to use them if it
will pay enough.
Both inventors propose to use birds
for the motive power of their contriv-
ances. One of them may have obtained
suggestion from that seasonable poem

from self leveling chair, in which the
operator sits. The eagles convey the
operator over the camp of an enemy,
and the chair is so well balanced, like
the cars of the Ferris wheel. that he
can observe everything beneath without
difficulty.
The other inventor uses an ordinary
balloon, but he overcomes perverse air

tient who is really and truly sensitive,
to whom every touch of the instrument
is torture, but who just bears it all and
never makes a sound-that's courage,
and it's Of the right sort too. One man
who comes to me pretty often is just as
stolid and Indifferent as you choose, no
matter what do to him. Only the 9TH

teeth. Never finch from the man.
Just to try him, showed the nerves to
him after I'd taken them out. sight at
which anybody might have been excused
for fainting. He never fiicked an eye
lash. He regarded them quite as dispas-
sionately as he would pair of fishing
worms, and after awhile he said, Don't
you think I'm pretty brave, doctor?
Not much / don't, said l, for you
don't feel it. That is not bravery. BRAY
cry is when you really suffer and yet
make no outward show of it. How car

they can't hide that. It's temperament,
and it reveals itself in thousand clinch

by Thackeray as opposed 90 Dickens

hearts for the faithful follower of the
immortal Mr.. Pickwick.
Few people, however, even today are
aware Of the way in which the artist
who has given the world so distinct a
creation conceived and carried out the
picture which the novelist had painted
in words for him.
1t was Hablot X. A. Browne. and he,
oddly enough. was selected over the
head OF Thackeray. who might have
been Dickens illustrator instead of his
great rival and even superior.
The circumstances under which
Browne got his appointment were decid

had only been started little while
when Seymour, who was illustrating it,
killed himself AS soon as this was
known Browne and Thackeray sent in
sketches, and when the latter called ON
Dickens he was told that Browne had
been selected.

rivals Thackeray rushed to tell Browne
of his success. and they dined together.

The Art Amateur contains some hints
on decorating a house that would prove
very useful il people would only appre-
ciate and employ them. For instance, We
are told no ono should color his walls till
he has some notion of the pictures he Is
going to put on them. What the pictures
are is n guide to the color scheme. In all
the schemes set forth the floor Is the key
note, and the color scheme lightens as 1t
proceeds toward the ceiling, which Is al
ways the lightest tone. Not that the same
color is necessarily employed throughout,
but that there Is harmonious color tone
underlying the whole composition. For
instance, floor painted or stained dark
brown is complemented by woodwork OF
natural oak; or, il this is not available,
it Is painted a warm light brown. The
walls up to the frieze are n soft, warm
terra cotta-terra Gotta because this shade
of red has tinge of yellow in it, and the
frieze and ceiling are n deep cream tint
cream, not lemon yellow On this fig
ures in deeper yellow or gold are effect

Pale brown and yellow without the ter
ra Gotta is also an attractive color scheme.
Hang the walls with n palo brownish pa

The Art Amateur gives advice that has

JAPANESE DESIGNS.
Largely the Result OF Their Methods Of
Teaching Drawing.

The question Is often asked where do
the Japanese get the ideas from which to
produce the ynsird and fantastic designs
80 often seen In their work. Numerous
efforts have been made to answer this
question, and the Japanese have heen al
ternately Landed for the beauty of their
work and condemned for It's crudeness.

arc designs printed in small squares, and
these he reproduces square by square un J.
til he has grasped the salient features OF
each. He Ia then sent out into the open
country and told TO observe the works OF
nature spread out before him in all their
luxuriance.
Finding some suitable object for his at.
tention, he proceeds to reproduce the
same, introducing perhaps some imagina-
tive details. 1t Is right here that the sys-
tenn of squares comes In. Those elegant
stems, those feathery petals which are ap.
parently thrown together without re-
straint, are simply the particular feature

course of study in this line has given him
the faculty of following a single vine
through tangled underbrush and ignoring

course of this one vine when brought Out
by his ready brush appears to the western
