balloon clear of the earth's surface.
The balance of the space in the
gas bag will be taken up by an
internal balloon on the principle
of a fsh's air bladder. This is one
of the features of the new in
vention, and is, in fact, of great
importance. III speaking of it,
Mr.. Hite said:
This interior balloon will con-
tain Io,472 cubic feet of air, which
will be used as ballast. By this
means ! do away with the neces-
sity of carrying any artificial bal
last in the car of the balloon This
method will allow the internal
balloon to be so arranged that it
will expand or contract with a
given volume of gas. For instance,
the gas expands and collapses the
bladder, which is filled with the
ordinary atmospheric air, forcing
the air out of the bladder and dis
placing the elected air by a medi-
um of expanded gas ID times light
er than the elected air Therefore,
increased buoy is given in
proportion to the amount of ex-
panded gas. The reverse action
is made by the application of the
condensing principle. AS the gas
is contracted the internal balloon
or bladder is inflated with at
mospheric air, so that the pressure
on the outer fabric of the balloon
is always the same, regardless of
atmospheric conditions, or the con-
dition of the gas inside of the bal
loon"
The motive power is said to rep
resent the most advanced achieve
ments of mechanical and chemical
SCIENCE. Two liquified carbonic
and gas engines. weighing but
little over 100 pounds, and oc-
cupying an exceedingly small
space, furnish a maximum of 60
horsepower at merely nominal
expense, The popularity of these
engines is the remarkable light
weight in mental remotors which
were also invented by Mr.. Hite.

A Railroad Mans Prayer.

An old railroad worker was re-
Gently converted, and being pres
ent at a meeting at which there
were many inquirers, he was
asked to lead in prayer. He hesi-
tated a moment, and then with
trembling voice he said reverently:
20 Lord, now that | have flag
ged thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them
safely on the deck of the train of
salvation. Let ME see the safety
lamp known as prudence, make all
the couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy hope, and let
my hand lamp be the bible. And,
Heavenly Father, keep the switch
es closed which lead off on the
siding, especially those with a
blind end o Lord, if it be thy
pleasure, have every semaphor
block along the line show the
white light of hope, that l may
make the run of life without stop
ping. And, Lord. give us the ten
commandments for a schedule; and
when | have finished the run on
sceedule time, pulled into the great
dark station of death, may thou,
the Superintendent of the Uni
verse, say: Well done, thou good
and faithful servant, come and
sign the payroll and receive your
check for eternal happiness"

Finally the merchant got out some
harness all gilt, with brass balls, at
$2I.5o per set. When the old
colored man saw this harness his
eyes lightened, and he was in
such hurry to buy two sets of it
that he could scarcely wait for the
merchant to take off the price
marks. He paid his money and
dragged his new and gaudy har-
ness out to the porch in front of
the store, where his team was
hitched. He lost no time in di-
vesting the pony and the mule of
the dilapidated harness they wore
and in getting the new harness on
them.

TEN CENT COTTON DID 1T.

R. T. Gibbs, for many years a
travelling salesman, in this city,
just having finished trip through
the central South for his house
He says everywhere in the South
the people are prosperous, and
that Io-cent cotton has stimulated
every line of business, and that
everybody is telling stories of
prosperity,
"The best prosperity story l
heard on my trip" said Mr.. Gibbs
recently, "was the story of the
old darkey l heard at a little
interior town in Louisiana. l had
just finished selling bill of goods
when the old colored man drove
up to the door of the store. He
was riding in bran-new wagon,
newly painted and with all its
decorations on it, and the driver
was mounted on a high spring
seat, as proud of his turnout as
ever was city coachman behind
pair of high steppers. The old
man had small Texas pony, with
its launches branded, and a small
mule, evidently relic of the days
when mules pulled the street cars.
His harness was made of gunny
sacks, clothes lines and trace
chains, and when he came into
the store he asked to see some
harness. The storekeeper showed
him some at $3.50 a set, but the
old colored man. said it did not
suit him. In succession the store
keeper got out his S. harness, that
at $3.50, $40, $I2.5o, SIS and
$3.50, but it did not appear fine
enough for the old colored man.

PHILADELPHIA AIRSHlP TO SOAR IN THE
SPRING.

in few months more, according
to the Record, is Charles E. Hite,
who is daily hard at work on the
highfyer in his laboratory.
Already a successful test of a
model of the Hite machine has
been made. This model is several
times smaller than the airship that
is now being made ready for the
trial, which the inventor hopes to
make not later than the coming
Spring. Mr. Hite claims to have
already demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the theory upon which
his ship has been constructed is
based on correct scientific prin-
ciples.
The Hite airship was thought
out three years ago. A patent
having been obtained on July IL,
1903, the work of construction was
Immediately started by the Hite
Manufacturing and Navigation
Company.
Everything was in readiness
for the holding of the official trial
of the big machine on April 18th
last, but few days previous to
that date the balloon that was to
be attached was destroyed by fire.
By the delay Philadelphia lost
the opportunity to turn out the
first successful flying machine.
The company lost no time i'll be-
ginning the construction of new
balloon, under the supervision of
the veteran aeronaut, Professor
Samuel King, who is deeply in
terested i'll Mr.. Hite's airship.
Mr.. Hite's plan for the flying
machine provides for dirigible
balloons, able to lift and support
themselves in the air, incapable of
being tipped over or upset, which
can be propelled at high speed,
turned within their own length,
steered and vertically raised or
lowered at will, and sufficiently
staunch to withstand adverse con-
ditions. The alrshlp is in shape
unlike the ordinary balloon, being
cylindriform, with conical ends,
constituting an oblate spherold.
The motive power of the airship
is applied on the medal line, at
the sides, by powerful disk fans,
enclosed i'll the forward ends of
aluminium cylinders, which are
fitted with automatically citing
rudders at their rear vents. Under
scientific test conditions, with the
car and it's equipments suspended
from wire, these fans have de-
veloped speed sufficient to pro-
pei the car against an incline at
rate of over twenty-five miles an
hour.
The car and framework are
built of the best high-pressure
steel tubing, capable of receiving
stores of compressed hydrogen
and carbolic anhydride. Safety
appliances, ballast tubes and bags
are arranged so as to economic
space on the car. An apparatus
for heating and refrigeratlng the
hydrogen, which is kept circulating
by means of suction-blower or
fan in a chamber connected with
the heating coil, is also situated on
the car.
The dimensions of the airship
are as follows: The cores of the
balloon are 100 feet in length, max
ing the eggshaped gas bag so feet
by 32 feet in diameter. When
completely distended, the balloon
will be capable of holding 42,4II
cubic feet of gas, but only 3I,o3e
cubic feet of gas will be carried

THE COUNTY BILL.

The House committee having the
County bill in charge had an evening
session. The committee went rapidly
through the bill, making several uuim-
portant amendments. chiefly relating to
Typographical errors. a section provid-
ing for the erection of n court room,
Jail and Offices for the Sheriff and 9TH
err officers of any county not having a
court house or jail, caused much
amusement by its ambiguous wording.
Suggestions as to the comfort of the
officers, mosquito netting for instance,
were offered and the section was final
ly amended. Some difficulty was eXpe-
rienced in obtaining a quorum, the
Sergeant having to go into the
highways and byways, finally bringing
back Gilfllan, Robertson, Monsarrat
and Kumalae, who made their entrance
amid cheers. After reaching well down
into the last chapter, the House com
mttee was found to have melted away
until no quorum remained An adjourn
ment was then carried. The sections
on fees still remain for discussion.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1901-04-19
AS OTHERS SEE 1T.

This Legislature has done much to
form American opinion about the ca
paclty of the Hawaiians for self-gov-
eminent, as is shown in the following
article from the outlook:
The results of even quaSi-indepen-
dence coupled with universal suffrage
in community for whose well-being
the United States is responsible, as
they are shown in Hawaii, are not such
as to commend this method to those
who judge political principles by their
actual results in practical operation.
The Hawaiian Legislature elected UNI
der American sovereignty is largely
composed of men who bitterly opposed
the union of Hawaii with the United
States, and who have elected as a dele
gate to the United States one who has
been persistently opposed, and appar-
emily still is opposed, not only to its
sovereignty, but to any organic rela-
tionship between the United States and
Hawaii. Some of the members of the
native Legislature are, or have been,
avowed advocates of the relnstatlng of
Queen Liliuokalani. Some or the legis-
lators do not speak English. The red
eral law requiring the proceedings of
the Legislature to be transacted in
English has been, so far as they are
concerned. ignored, and the presence OF
a representative of the federal govern
ment, whose office it was to report the
proceedings OF the Legislature to the
President, has been resented, and he
has been turned out of the House by
the sergeant at arms. According to
"A correspondent of the New York Ev-
eninE Post, the Legislature Is ready to

those of sentiment we do not know.

The "allowance" that Britain's new
ruler may draw from the royal treasu-
ry is a question that now cOnfronts
Parliament. The Kaiser of Germany
receives 50 600, 0OO not to mention his
vast revenues from the private prop
erty of the reigning house of Hohen-
zollern. Francis Joseph receives ST.
900. 900 from the Austrian treasury, and
as much more from that of Hungary.
Young King Alphonso. of Spain, has
a civil list of S1,5OO0O0. The Gear
draws $4,000 900 from the Russian
treasury, and his revenues from the
private domains of the crown are
something enormous. King Victor
Emmanuel receives 100000 from the
State, and. like most of the otner rul-
ers, is expected to spend fully that
amount in maintaining the pomp of
royalty. The President of the French
republic receives s25O.000, In salary and
allowances, or five times as much as
the President of the United States. The
other rulers of Europe draw lesser
sums from their public treasures, but
their expenses are correspondingly
smaller. The smallest salary drawn by
the head of any European State is that
of the President OF the Swiss republic,
whose term is one year, and whose
compensation Is $4,000.
