THE WASHINGTON ARMS.
From Them, Students OF HeraIdry
Assert, Were Derived the Amer
lean Stars and Stripes.

Sulgrave Manor, in Northampton
shire, was at one time, it is well known,
the home of the Washington family,
and both on the porch of the manor
house and in the adjoining parish
church of St. James are still to be
seen the mullets and bars of the Wash
ington coat-of-arms, from which are
derived the stars and stripes of the
American flag, says an English paper.
In the hamlet of Little Brington,
Northamptonshire, stands a small, I'M

which is doubtless the most curious
cemetery in the world.
The founding of the cemetery came
about in 1888, when several of the
horses met their deaths by fire.
Among the number was the Inflated
champion yearling FLY, Norlaine. AS
Norlaine was a champion and much
thought of at Palo Alto, the most
beautiful spot on the farm was Sc.
lected for her burial place.
One by one new graves appeared.
The attention of Mrs. Stanford was
attracted by the mounds, and on in.
quiry she learned that it was the burial
place of horses that had made Pale
Alto great.
At that time there was nothing to
show what horses were buried there.
, Mrs. Stanford remarked that such
noted horses should have tablets
placed on their graves, showing their
names, dates of birth, death and rec.
ords, and Immediately issued instruc.
tions. She had monument erected
in memory of the great Electioneer,
the son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian and
Green Mountain Maid. The plot was
then heightened and surrounded by a
neat iron rail fence, flowers and shrubs
were planted, and in the center of the
horse graveyard was placed the mon
ument to the greatest of sires.
The inscription on the monument of
Electioneer reads: ''To the memory of
Electioneer, 1875. Foaled May, 1868.
Died December 3, 1890. By Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. Dam, Green Mountain
Maid"

ACROSS IN A BALLOON.
views of n Noted AerOnaut ReGard-
ing the Aerial Passage of
the Atlantic

In Century is a discussion of ways
and means for crossing the ocean.
The author believes that the drag
rope is the key to the problem. He
argues thus: If balloon capable of
retaining its buoyant gas in marked
degree were to ascend from any point
on the American coast line, and be kept
poised at given height by means of
rope trailing loosely over the waves,
it would be more or less speedily watt
ed across the Atlantic ocean.
West winds could not, of course, be
expected always to prevail, but, as it
is known that the general drift is east
ward, it surely follows that the pas
sage would eventually be made. Prac-
tice with the drag rope has shown me
the possibility of keeping a balloon
atloat, at a convenient altitude, with
out great loss of gas and ballast. Prai-
ries, forests, mountains and large
bodies of water have all been traversed
by me with success. The free running
of the rope as it glides over the surface
of the water is the special advantage
that accrues to voyage over the
ocean.
Andree thought to utilize this device
over the frozen sea, but with what sue
cess may never be known. His attempt
at polar exploration by balloon was,
undoubtedly, premature, and should
have been preceded by efforts more
closely allied to previous experience.
NpEprt h loss his a ha1
of principle which only needs greater
development to prove its correctness.
The full import of the first success
full ocean voyage cannot be foretold.
We can compare it only with the first
Atlantic cable, or the first steamship,
or the first voyage of Columbus. That
it lies next in order to those cannot be
doubted, and there is only one known
way to success, namely, by the aid of
the drag rope.
Such an undertaking should have a
clearly defined motive, namely, moth
ing less than that complete demon
stration of the latent possibilities of
navigation by balloons instead of the
impossible flying machine for which
the world has been waiting so long.
Some years ago it was proposed to
make a transatlantic voyage by
ascending to the height of 81 miles
and remaining there long enough to ac-
complish the passage. 1t was believed
that an upper current is constantly
blowing toward the east. Three DAYS
only were thought to be necessary to
perform this feat, as the easterly cur
rent was supposed to be running at
the rate of from so to 60 miles an hour.
However. it was found to be impossible
to keep the balloon afloat at such a
height by any known means for even
one-tenth of the necessary time. and
all hopes of a successful voyage were
at length abandoned The invention
and use of the drag rope has intro
duced a new era for the balloon. This
simple appendage makes the long
ocean voyage a possibility.

WONDERFUL ORCHIDS.
Apartments for Ants and Feelers for
Drawing Up Water.

Drawing Up Water.
The orchid family possesses many
curious habits. some provide On
their roots peculiar bulbs containing
many little apartments, so that ants
may live in them and protect the or
child from its insect enemies.
A recently discovered specie
grows low down over water, and when
thirsty draws water for itself. This
it does with a long tape-like stem,
coiled like a watch spring in the cen
ter Of the plant. When the orchid
needs moisture this stem is gradual
ly uncoiled and lowered until it
reaches beneath the water. AS it
begins to coil up again the tip is nat
urally filed with water, and this rs
elevated by the rolling up Of the stem
until it is brought to the base Of the
plant.
Should the orchid be deprived Of
water, the tube will search about over
the ground for it as if guided by intel
lect.-Cincinnati Commercial Trb-
