Flying Machine Test In England Salts
factory to Inventors-
Mechanics have not 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-
pends 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
er, 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 speed of thirty
miles an hour and have in contempla-
tion a machine to accommodate Ave
people. The balloon of such an ap-
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.

LATEST TRIUMPH OF FORMER
MRS. M'kAY.
Her Husband Had Bsen ExIisd from tho
German diplomatic Service for Marry
ing Divorced Woman Restored Through
Her lniusnce-Daughtsro of a Laborer
(Berlin Ietter.)

-
the latest interesting incident in the
career of Mrs. Adolph Won Breuning,
better known in this country as Mrs.
Gordon Mckay, OF Boston, has been
her conquest of Kaiser Wilhelm of Ger
many. Mrs. Won Bruening is As years
OF age and is the daughter Of man OF
all work about Harvard College, JOS
eph Tract, by name. Her mother. re-
markably beautiful woman, was en-
ployed by Gordon Mckay, the wealthy
Cambridge inventor. as housekeeper.
When his housekeepers daughter was
20. Mckay married her and showered
all manner of gifts upon her. But af-
ter short period their married life
came to termination with divorce.
A year ago it was announced that
MRS. Mckay would marry Won Bruen-
ing, member of the German diplo-
matte corps at Washington. The En-
peror was displeased, but Won Bruen-
Ing forestalled him by sending in his
resignation. Mrs. Won Bruening was
not satisfied with this state of affairs.
She had previously been honored by
the emperor and his family, and she
regarded 1t as a personal affront that
her husband should lose his status in
the German diplomatic service solely
because he had married her. She set
herself the task of securing his restora-
tton. With her husband she went to
one OF his estates in Germany and be-
gan her campaign against his imperial
majesty, The first step was the enter
tainment of the ministers nearest the
throne, one at time. at her home. She
exerted herself to her utmost to gain
their favor. and Invariably succeeded.
Then she disclosed to them the desire
nearest her heart Each one promised
his assistance in getting what she
wanted.

SCHEME TO SCARE WOLVES.
Kept at hay Mt Night

Kept at bay Mt Night by Patent Gun.
Examiners in the patent office have
learned by experience that 1t Is n mis-
take to jump at conclusions regarding
the usefulness of inventions, says the
Presbyterian Banner. A cOntrivance
at which they We're inclined to poke a
good deal of fun designed to frighten
wolves on western prairies was PATENT
ed less than three months ago, and al
ready 1t has come into considerable use
In the sheep-growing districts in that
part of the country.
The device is an automatic gun.
which goes OFF mt regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
flocks. 1t consists of Il sort of box
which contains n clockwork attachment
with IL small steel barrel projecting
from one end. magazine. also with
the box is loaded with blank cart
ridges, which are fired by the clock
work once in ten minutes or so. BY the
help of n simple mechanical attach
mcnt the intervals between discharges
are made as long or as short as may be
desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be in op-
Grafton only from sunset to sunrise. 1t
is at the period of lambing that the
flocks are in danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying Off the lamb
kins, and hence the apparatus de-
scrlbed is intended to be employed ex-
clusively during the season. 1t mny be
that the wolf, which il decidedly In

tion after awhile and realize that the
automatic gun has not man behind

wolves are afraid of the humming of

Chineae Use of FIonr.

In all the Chinese cities very large
percentage of the population lives in a
sort of hand-to-mouth fashion. buy
ing food from restaurants. Hot water
is sold from stands by people who
make business of providing 1t. The
great necessity for economy in fuel
seems to be the primary cause of this
mode of living. Restaurants are the
great consumers of foreign flour.
throughout central and southern
China very little baked bread is used.
and the flour is consumed in the form
Of dough, vermicelli. or dumplings
filled with chopped meat, or meat and
vegetables, or fruit. The flour is made
into dough and worked into leath-
cry form by man operating bamboo
fastened at one end. The worker sits
on the other end of the bamboo and
presses and works the dough until 1t is
quite tough; it is then pressed into
thin sheets and cut into strings, boiled.
and thus eaten, or made into dump
lings and then steamed and eaten. In
nearly every case 1t is eaten while hot.
This foreign flour is also used quite
extensively in cakes and Chinese con-
fections of various kinds.

Fatalities by Lightning.

About 500 people are killed by light
ming every year in the United States.
Twice this number are more or less
seriously injured.
The number of deaths from lightning
has increased considerably during the
past few years. The greatest number
of fatalities usually occurs in the open.
Some so per cent of all such deaths
take place out of doors. Forty-four
per cent occur in private houses Elev-
en- per cent of all the deaths occurred
under trees and nine per cent in barns.
According to these statistics one Of
the most dangerous places in thun-
derstorm is near wire or other metal
conductor. A number of women were
killed while taking clothes from wire
clothes lines. Line of this kind should
not be stretched within thirty feet
of the house. Another rule is to keep
away from chimneys and open win
dows during thunder storms. Avoid
wire fences. and never take shelter un-
der a tree. The safest place is the
middle of a room as near the center of
the house as possible. Yet almost any
place is fairly safe. Five hundred
deaths in a year among 70,000,OOO are
not very many.

Keep Your Children Busy.

Keep your children busy IL you
would have them happy. When the
occupation is some daily labor which
has been wisely allotted, see that it is
accomplished as well 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 we'll 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 ac-
complished until the achievement
reaches perfection. This is the dis
content which Emerson breaches and
which is holy II doubt is not allowed
to creep in to mar the aspiration

RICHES OF ECUADOR.
Tho Country Is a Treasure Vault Only
Awaiting Developments.

The enormous but undeveloped min
ing fields of the northern Andes are n
perfect treasure vault for the world to
pry open with railroads. says mining
engineer who is about setting out for
Ecuador. where he has had eight sub
ordinate parties exploring for him for
the past year. My private reports
have informed me of the discovery of
alluvial gold fie ds in the unexplored
orient OF Ecuador. We have not yet
located the original lodes from which
these alluvial deposits of dust have
been washed by the denudation of the
lodges. These legends told by the Nipa
Indians of the fabulous mines of the
Incas are undoubtedly founded on fact.
Our prospectors have located rich pla-
Ger mines after hasty exploration of
a few Of the streams which flow into
the headwaters of the Amazon, as yet
unsapped. Somewhere in those noun
tains millions are sleeping.
In the southern portion of Ecuador,
already partially opened by single
line of road, 10 miles of which Is in
operation. my engineers have uncov-
cred five veins of excellent coal. in
seams of from six to thirty feet in
width. This is significant of what may
be there. South America now imports
coal at great expense. In the northern
district, the eruptive nature of the
country has deposited enormous guam
titles OF sulphur. At present most of
the sulphur of commerce comes from
Sicily. and the demand is large because
of its growing uses in the manufac-
lures. especially since sulphurlc acid
has been used for the conversion of
phosphate rock into fertilizers. as
well as bleaching. dyeing. sugar refln-
ing and high explosives.
Among other discoveries reported to
me has been the location of large cop
per prospects in gold bearing ores
complex ores bearing gold. silver and
lead, zinc mines and alkaline earths
and clays of high value.
Several OF our expeditions have de-
voted their explorations to learn the
economic possibilities of this land of
mystery. They report that the coast
districts already export $7.OO0,OOO of
chocolate no longer luxury. but n
necessity to the world. This industry
could be Increased several fold by
American enterprise. Since the push
ing of the road from Guayaquil tho
sugar ad coffee industry has had n
sudden impetus. offering large post
bilities for Investment. Tobacco of n
high grade is grown there in limited
quantities by the indolent native plant
ers.
While searching for gold in the ori-
ent of Ecuador our party came upon
immense tracts of rubber forests. the
sole output at present being what the
Indians bring in on their heads. Here.
too, are large areas of valuable hard
woods. The high plateau which the
railroad is now crossing Is fertile, and
will eventually play an important part
in the food supply of the other nations.
