Monks Experiments In Air Flight
In the Eleventh Century.

A Monks Experiments In Air Flight
In the Eleventh Century.
Credible accounts exist of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes-
bury. in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of a tower with the as,
siStance of wings attached to his arms
and his feet. 1t is said that having
gone along little way he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acct
dent to failure to provide his apparatus
with a tail. which would have helped
preserve his equilibrium and made his
descent gentlcr one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Ninci first demonstrated that n bird,
which is heavier than the air. sustains
itself. advances in the air, "by render
Ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where it does not pass" In order
to fly it has to fix its point of support
oil the air. lis wings in the descend
Ing stroke exert a pressure from above
down, the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center of gravity of
its body to ascend at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain it, Some sketches which
have come down to us prove that Leo
nardo occupied himself, like Oliver of
Malmesbury, with giving man the pow
er to fly by the assistance of wings
suitably fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the invcn-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed in the following terms IF a
man had pavilion each side of which
was.15 braces wide and l. braces high,
he might cast himself from any height
whatever without fear of danger" 1t
may be said, too. of Leonardo da Vinci
that he was the first to suggest the
Idea of the screw propeler.-Apple-
tons popular Magazine.

The Name Sioux.

The Indian name Sioux, as 1t ap-
pears IN such town names as Sioux
Falls. Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is
usually pronounced 800" but some
times, in the east chiefly, that simple
pronunciation is not known. A COM
mtteeman not long ago visited school
In New England, where he heard the
pupils say "Sl-ox" with complete as
surance. At favorable opportunity
he quietly spoke to the teacher OF the
error, saying, "You know, 1t Is $780,"
whereupon she asked the attention of
the school and solemnly announced:
You have all been pronouncing this
word wrong, Ii Is not 'Si-ox,' but 500
OK" The committeeman lacked the
courage to pursue the subject further

THE CANNING INDUSTRY
Frederick City and County
Possesses Several Large
Factories, Employing Thou
sands of Hands, With an
Output of Ten Million Cans
Annually.

The recent rains have raised
the hopes of those interested in
the large canning industries in
Frederick County, as well as the
farmers themselves, and the pros.
poets now are good for a large
crop of sugar corn. In recent
years this has been a source of
income to the farmers that is not
inconsiderable, and many of them
devote large acreages to this ce.
real.
The severe drouth, no doubt,
has affected the early corn very
much, but experts agree that the
providential rainfall since Thurs
day of last week, have insured
the usual results with the late
crop. The packing season begins
i'll August and continues for
about six weeks. During this
time thousands of persons find
profitable employment in the
packing establishments, and the
money circulated in business
benefits a great many people.
1t is a pity that more large indus
tries cannot be organized and
put in operation in this city.
There are three large canning
factories in Frederick and one in
Buckeystown that put up many
million cans of corn, beans, peas
and succotaSh yearly. The
amount, of course, depends upon
the crop, but arrangements are
always made to consume the en-
tire output of material raised in
the county. For this product
there has always been an active
market.
The Louis McMurray Canning
Factory, one of the largest con.
Germs in the State, was established
by the late Louis McMurray. and
for a time was the only one in
this section.
Mr.. McMurray owned several
large farms upon which his corn
was grown, the farmers not hay
ing been educated to raising the
crop. The Messrs. Goode con.
duet The business now and have
maintained the high standard
set by the former proprietor for
its goods. The capacity of the
plant is 100000 cans per day.
During the busy season about
six hundred hands are employed.
Several years ago the Fred
erick City Packing Company was
organized by the MessrS. Rosen-
stock, Charles n. Hahn, and
others. This concern has grown
froml an humble beginning 10
quite large proportions. They
have recently added new machin
cry and new buildings, increas.
ing their daily output to 50 900
cans. The largest number of
hands employed is about five
hundred.
Another addition to the can
ming business field is the Monoc-
acy Valley Packing Company.
Messrs. Charles w. Ross, Jr. +,
aud Charles Staley, proprietors.
About four years ago business
was started on a small scale. but
this year by recent improvements
aud additions, il closely follows
Its Older competitors in output.
From l25, 900 to 40, 900 cans per
day will be the capacity of this
plant. The most modern ma.
chinerJ has been installed and
everything is ready for a busy
season. About four hundred
hands are employed.
In Buckeystown, this county,
is situated a large canning fac.
tory, the Buckeystown Canning
Company, controlled by several
well known citizens of that town.
The output Of this concern is very
large aud It gives employment to
many hands during the season.
