INVENTS A FLYING SHIP.
Young Russian, with the Aid Of .
Frenchman, Brings Out Won
derfuI Machine.

M. Feodoroff, a young Russian, has
vented a flying machine which he
inns can be easily maneuvered in
the air at any height. The apparatus
has double set of tubes-the hori-
zontal for the propulsion of the ma
chine and the vertical to make it rise
or fall.
The motive power is provided by
concentrated gases, generated from
liquids which are stored in special
reservoirs. These liquids pass through
special tubes into furnace, where
their combustion produces sufficient
gas to drive the machine easily. There
is no danger of fire, as the apparatus
is constructed entirely of metal, while
the car for the aeronaut is separated
from the lamp by several layers of in
combustible material.
The car of NJ. Feodoroff's model is
made to hold one person. The maxi
mum speed of the machine is from 40
to 100 kilometers I or 10s miles) an
hour.
If. Feodoroff was aided in his inven-
tion by NJ. Dupont, a Frenchman, who
discovered the substance from which
the gas is obtained. These young men
will arrive at st. Petersburg shortly
and will give public demonstration
of the capabilities of the machine.
M. Dupont will ascend in it to a
height of about 426 meters, and will
perform all sorts of complicated eyo-
lutions in order to prove his complete
control over the movements Of the ma
chine. M. Dupont intends to perform
the evolutions in time to music.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
1t VIII BE Used by the War Depart
ment-PI1ns Being stade for
the Signal Corps.

The war department. is quietly at
work on the problem of wireless teleg.
raphy for the signal service. The signal
corps has been handicapped recently
both by lack of funds and officers to
experiment on an extensive scale. but
Capt. Reiber, at Governors island, New
York, is carrying on series of expert
ments between that point and Tomp-
kinsville, with view of adapting the
army apparatus for communication be-
tween fortified points and in any other
locality where the wireless system
might prove superior in practice to the
older form of telegraphy. The army
is not dependent on Marconi for instrn-
ments, having developed n system Of its
own, and the work will be pushed with
vigor when congress furnishes the nee
essary means.

TRADING IN THE TRANSVAAL.
white Customers Will Generally he
Treated, But the Blacks Are RE-
garded with Less Concern.

Ordinarily the Transvaal trading
store is of galvanized iron, upon which
the sun beats down with all its inten-.
sity, making the air within almost un-
bearable. But the trader does not mind
this. Dressed in a pair of trousers, a
light pair of shoes and flannel shirt,
he reclines on a convenient part of the
counter. and with the aid of his pipe
passes the time until customer ar
rives, says the New York Herald.
Should the customer be white man,
the storekeeper and he will as rule re-
tire into little side room for few min
utes, and bottle and a couple Of
glasses will be produced. Should he. on
the other hand, be negro, the trader
will glance al him casually, and, with
out moving, will ask him what he wants.
He does this because Katiirs often want
something which they know the store
keeper has not got. The shelves in the
back of the shop are piled up with
gaudy blankets. clothing of all descrip-
tions. timed goods. clocks and vases,
cheap 'jewelry," and various other COM
modities. Below these shelves are the
bins where the sugar, -four. meal and
coffee are kept. On one side are small
shelves where patent medicines stand.
Outside the door, on the stoop. are
the agricultural implements, plows,
harrows. new American inventions of
all sizes and descriptions that are too
big or too heavy to be easily carried

Regularity Of Rising and Falling OF
the Rivers and Streams In
Alaska.

To most people who live in the TEN
perate zones, the annual freShets oc-
casioned by the melting of the winter
s.lows and by the unusually Aeayy r~ins
of spring are matter OF fa,~uiar OBJ
servation. Under higher latitude and
in the neighborhod of glaciers, other
phenomena are to be studied. An Eng
lish traveller in Alaska has the follow
ing 20 report about the rivers of that
country, says Youths Companions:
The Takheena, like most strea ue of
glacial origin, was subject to daily
rise and fasl. The distance of its
soarces c-uscd ,he water to increase
il volume and in swiftness from noon
10 midnight, after which ii continued
to decrease from midnight to noon.
The daily rise measured from six to
ten inches, according to the heat of
the weather; the daily fall measured
from five to eight inches during the
time the fine weather lasted.
After few days of cloudy, rainy
weather, | found the river falling from
day to day about as fast as it had risen
during the fine weather.
IT is worthy of remark that during
fine weather | invariably found the
wind during the daytime in the Chilcat
valley blowing up from the sea 1t
began in the forenoon with a gentle
breeze, which gradually increased to
smart gale, that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind, or else it blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment of the atmosphere no doubt has
much to do with producing the regular
daily rise and fall Of the river.

CHURCH MADE FRENZEL PAY.
Horton (fxanD Methodist Church Get
Judgment and Sold His Home
for n subscription.

A. L. ,Frenzel, of Horton, Kan, has
just had the novel experience of see
ing his home sold over his head TO sat
isfy judgment on a six per cent note
for 500 which he had given to help pay
off the debt on the Methodist church.
When the note came due Frenzel.
though he is trustee of the church, re-
fused to pay it, and John A. Mccormick,
treasurer of the church, sued to collect
it.
FranZel answered that he had re-
ceived no money, property or benefit
and therefore denied the debt.
The court gave the church judgment
for 1921 and Frenzels house was sold
for 5000 to pay judgment and costs
amounting to $500. The balance of the
money was turnod over to Franzel. The
property was appraised at $500.
While the suit was pending MI-
Franzel decided his home to a friend
and that man decided it to Mrs. Frenzel.
But the deed was made after the suit
began and did not protect the property.
Many of the church members were in
favor of dropping the matter for fear
that the church might be classed
among the soulless corporations, but
others argued that FrenZel was moral
ly bound and was financially able to pay
the note. They also contended that if
he was made TO pay the note judg-
ment might have wholesome effect
on many others, who loosely promise
to contribute to the support OF the
churches and then get out of it if pos
sible.
The trustees bought the property and
state that Mr.. Frenzel can have the
property if he will pay the amount of
the note.

what the Prisoner Said.

A celebrated Judge was once trying
a case where the accused could only un-
derstand Irish, and an interpreter was
accordingly sworn. The prisoner said
something to the interpreter, and the
latter replied.
what does he say?' demanded the
Judge.
Nothing, my lord"
How dare you say that, when we all
heard him? Come sir, what was it?"
MY lord" said the interpreter, begin
ming to tremble. sit had nothing to do
with the case"
"If you don't answer I'll commit you,
sir. Now, what did he say?'
well. my lord, you'll excuse me, but
he said Who's that ould woman, with
the red bed curtain round her, sitting
up there?"
AT which everybody present roared.
"And what did you say?" said the
judge, looking little uncomfortable.

RUSSIANS FOND OF TEA.
Rich and Poor Alike Drink Large
Quantities OF the Beverage
ON All OccasiOns.

Probably the greatest tea drinkers
in the world outside of China are the
Russians. They consume an enormous
quantity annually-many times what
Americans manage to dispose of. The
poor people-and the Russian people
are the poorest in existence--use the
so-called brick" tea. This is the cheap
est sort, being mixed with the stems
and compressed by some adhesive gum
into dry cakes of various sizes, re-
sembling in its appearance plug" to-
bacco. This tea, which would prob
ably prove poisonous to anyone else,
Is consumed by the Russian working
man at the average rate of about 20
stakan (or tumblers) day, the Rus
sian stakan being equal to five of the
little thimbles of cups used in Ameri-
ca at afternoon teas. Taking into con-
sideration that black, sour or bitter,
brick-like bread, raw onions, garlic,
dried leather fish and strongly salted
herrings are usually the chief articles
of food of the people at large, one must
not wonder at the enormous quantity
of hot tea needed to quench Russians
thirst and help on his digestion.

A HIGH PRICED PIANO.
One That Was Made for a Famous
Belgian Artist at "A Cost
of &.5,OO0.

A wonderful piano has been made by
Jan Van Beers, the Belgian artist,
whose portraits of beautiful women are
famous. The painter owns one OF the
most remarkable houses in Paris and
has given years to the study ofinterior
decoration, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. He admits that
the exquisite instrument which he Is
going 10 exhibit at the exposition next
summer is probably the most beauti-
full piano of ancient or modern times.
OF course, only the shell or case is his
work; whose make the instrument
shall be viii be determined by the pur.
chaser. The body of the piano is OF
natural wood, tinted green; the legs,
garlands, Cupids and all the ornamental
tions are of bronze, gilded and chiseled
BY the ablest sculptor of Louis Quinze
bronzes in Paris. The fine sketches
which appear on the sides and on the
front of the piano are paintings by the
artist himself and represent the four
seasons, and minuet danced in the
park in the days of Louis XIV, all after
the manner of Vatican.
The designer has tried as far as pos
sible.to convert those parts of the piano
which are ordinarily ungraceful and
awkward into something decorative
and harmonious. The pedals, which
generally represent Tyre, are replaced
by the owners Initials. One bronze
Cupid, at the touch Of spring, offers
his violoncello as a support for the cover
when open. This cover is lined with
small plaques of ivory. each surround
ed by Louis Qunze frame of bronze,
where some day distinguished musi-
clans will write their names, using for
this purpose the sheath and arrow Of a
Cupid at the left, which have been in
geniously converted into inkstand and
pen. The music, resting on small
frame of bronze, which glides forward
upon spring, is lighted by two delicate
electric flowers, and the musician 1.
thus left in an agreeable halSlight.
The total cost Of the piano will not be
less than $4,000.

THE SINGLE FEATHERED HAT.

Have you seen the jaunty maiden trip
ping lightly long the street
With an old gray goosequill sticking in
her hat?
She is neat and she is natty and most raw
ishingly sweet,
With that old gray goosequill sticking In
her hat.
In her eyes there is a sparkle of most in
* dependent pride,
On her face a cute expression she would
never try to hide,
And her bootheels with the pavement so
decsively collide
That it jars the old gray gooseauin in
her hat.
OH she is a pleasing picture as she gayly
trips along
With an old gray goosequill sticking In
her hat!
Her eyes are dreams Of glory and her smile
a radiant song,
With that old gray goosequiu sticking in
her hat.
In her dress there is smartness that must
magnet every eye,
Every head turns on its pivot as the men
she passes by
They admire her style. her action and ner
bright, expressive eye,
And the old gray goosequill sticking In
her hat.
How. she calls to mind the warrior of red
skin Indian race,
With that old gray goosequili sticking In
her hat,
Sometimes bears out the simile by paint
ing up her face,
With that old gray goosequili sticking in
her hat
She is out upon the warpath be she plump
or be she syelte,
And many paleface fellow has her eye
shot arrows felt
Many lovers scalps are dangling from her
alligator belt,
That sweet warrior with the goosequill In
her hat
We all love her and admire her, just cawnt
help it, don't ye know,
With that old gray goosequill sticking in
her hat,
She's the very fairest jewel in our western
beauty show
That neat sage-hen with the goosequill In
her hat
Maids of statuesque construction meath
their ostrich plumes arrayed
Or with wealth of horal beauty on their
proud heads may parade.
But they simply aren't in 1T with the dash
ing little maid
With the old gray goosequil sticking IN
her hat.
