Early Advertisement.

The discovery of the primeval ad-
Vertlsement has not, of course, re-
Warded u research. For we have
not access to the strata wherein we
might at least dig for it's remains. The
earliest of any kind which we have
been able to unearth occurs in a Rid

Artificial Teeth, set in so firm, as to
eat with them, and SO Exact, as not to
be distinguished from natural; they
are not to be taken out at night as is

While M. Santos-Dumont, the Bra
zilian, is repairing his dirigibale bal
loon In Paris, Gustave Whitehead, a
Connecticut inventor, is bidding for
.-aeronautical honors with an airship
with wings that scars like a bird. Mr..
Whitehead has made several expert
mental trips, it is claimed, with a Ger

feet from the ground. The airship is
certainly a queer looking bird. 1t acts
as strangely as it looks. 1t can run
along the ground at 80 miles an hour,

that it is impossible for the machine

and 20 pounds of calcium carbide for

hours OF flight, weighs only between
four and i've pounds per horsepower"
