THE three assessors to be ap-

AIR SHIP is PROMISING.
Flying Machine Test in England Salts
factory to Inventors.


Mechanics have nc yet despaired Of
constructing a ship that will navigate
the air, but are constantly at work de-
veloping new ideas or improving upon
old ones. A new type of such craft has
been tried with some success at the
Crystal palace, London, the design be-
ing the invention of Auguste Gaudron
and Cecil Barth. The contrivance. is
rather an air ship than a flying ma
chine proper, from the fact that 1t de-
ponds for its support upon cigar
shaped balloon seventeen feet in length
by three feet in diameter, holding
about 100 cubic feet of hydrogen. The
ideal flying machine, of course, is to
support itself by mechanical power
apart from any balloon. Beneath the
balloon in question are fixed platforms,
certain of these containing a motor
and fan to supply the propulsive pow
err, the center platform being reversed
for the aeronaut who there controls the
steering gear. During the trial the
machine behaved very satisfactorily,
ascending and descending at any given
angle and answering readily to the
rudder. On MINDLESS day the invent
ors hope to attain a speed of thirty
miles an hour and have in contempla-
ton a machine to accommodate five
people. The balloon of such an APP
paratus would have to be 100 feet long
and thirty feet in diameter, and would
require four motors, each of ten horse
power. The balloon would be made
for safety's sake in compartments and
would require 100000 cubic feet of hy-
drogen to initiate it.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

GROWTH OF OCEAN TRAVEL.
Ships Now Carry from 1875 to ae5 Cabin
Passengers.

Passengers.
The marked increase in the volume
of ocean steamship travel of late years
has occasioned extended comment
among agents of transatlantic lines.
1t is said that many Americans make
six or more trips a year to the other
side, where formerly they did not
cross at all Englishmen and Germans
who are engaged in the manufactur-
ing trades, industrials and even food
raising visit this side much oftener
now. Quite a few come to look around
with an idea of ascertaining how
Americans have made such gigantic
commercial strides in such a short
time, but the great majority realizing
the necessity for adopting American
methods where practicable, come here
to purchase machinery and the like
without which it would be impossible
for them to copy Yankee thrift and in
dustry. Not nearly so common on the
ocean ships as he was five or ten years
ago is the English ranchman bound
for the far west He is now in the
mining or engineering business in
Mexico and Central America, although
there are still many Britons engaged
in the cattle raising business out west
and throughout Canada. Some. of the
older vessels of our line shipped a
large number of mules and horses that
were sent to South Africa from New
Orleans for English army service. 1t
was surprising to discover what a big
percentage of these animals came from
the ranches of Englishmen who had
settled in the north and west. Where
ships in the past were satisfied with
sixty or seventy-fve cabin passengers
each trip at this season they are carry
ing from 125 to 225 now, IL not one
way. certainly the other. The number
of buyers who are constantly on the
deep has become enormous. Naturally
Canada has benefited by this eagerness
to patronize American methods and
manufactures and she Is sending
drrmmers abroad. The ideal drum
mers' lair is no longer the American,
Pullman car. but the smoking saloon

One day, at the college, on my way
to the dissecting-room. l opened the
door OF the great hall and looked in
1t was empty and silent. The rows OF
circular benches were deserted, but a
stray glove lay upon one OF them; a
faint and sickening smell Of chloro-
form pervaded the place; and the foot
of the suspended skeleton, whose grim
ming face was turned toward me, dan
gled to and fro. as if he was kicking
it for his own amusement | shut the
door, and left him to the solitude over
which he seemed to chuckle.
The air of the dissecting-room was
never pure, but on that day it was pc
culIarly fetid and nauseating. The min
gled odor of burnt flesh and muscles,
stagnant blood, and certain indie
scribable dead smell, such as any one
may notice on entering a room that
contains corpse, greeted me as went
in.
Upon the table lay headless body,
the corpse of man in the prime Of
life. l looked at it carelessly, wonder
ing why the head had been removed.
Suddenly | saw somthing that made
my blood run cold
The right hand was clenched closely.
Upon the little finger was a heavy
signet ring, and the strong pressure
had caused the stone to cut deep into
the palm beneath. 1t was little
thing. but it brought the murdered
man before my eyes as plainly as If he
had been lying there instead of that
unknown corpse.
Hurrying from the room, 1 met q
classmate on the stairs. He looked
pale and excited.
Have you seen it," he asked eager
ly.
"What?"
"The body?"

"And the head?"
"No."

But why?"
"My dear fellow, it is the very face

story Lee told us; and the professor

quences from this strange resemblance

did not see it."
Lucky, indeed! I will keep him

Keep Your Children Busy.

Keep your children busy If you
would have them happy. When the
occupation is some daily labor which
has been wisely allotted, see that 1t is
accomplished as we'll as it is possible
for the child to accomplish it under
existing circumstances. But whether
it be in work or play, let him under
stand that no matter how well he may
have done today-and do not be chary
of your praise-he has within himself
that which will make 1t possible for
him to do still better tomorrow. This
treatment, instead of discouraging.
will encourage, by melting the child
toward even better work, and will
early implant that spirit of divine dis
content which allows of no absolute
satisfaction in that which has been &C
compiished until the achievement
reaches perfection. This is the dis
content which Emerson breaches and
