Prize Offered by the Worlds Fair
Management.
An inventor who announces his IN
tention to compete for the prize of

position is Gustave Whitehead, of
Bridgeport, Conn. Mr.. Whitehead has
been at work along practical lines.
building one machine after another,
preserving the good points of each
and discarding those that, have been
found undesirable. This is the pro-
cess by which all valuable machines
and devices have been brought to pres
ent day perfection. Mr.. Whitehead
has met with an encouraging success
In his efforts. He writes as follows:
II have read in different newspapers
that you are going to offer prize for
the best dirigible airship or flying ma
chine. have been working on the
problem for the last ten years. The
latest of my results is a one and a half
mile flight. l am improving every day,

rules and regulations under which
your prize may be won. AT any rate,
you will kindly put my name down
on your list as one of the competitors
Mr.. Whitehead sends a number of
views of his machine. He calls 1t the
Aeroplane Flying Machine and he has
now reached twenty one in his series
of machines. He says regarding 1t:
This machine is built of wood and
bamboo and covered with silk. The
body is 16 feet long, feet wide and 8
feet deep. something In the shape of a
fish or bird On each side are great
wings or aeroplanes stretched tightly
on q bamboo framework. Four wheels
support the machine while standing on
the ground. A 10-horse power engine
is connected with the wheels in order
to get the running start in the way a
bird starts to fly. In front of the
wings and across the body is double
compound high pressure engine (about
20-h horse power), revolving pair of
propellers in opposite directions about
700 resolutions per minute. These
propellers are feet in diameter and
while running at full speed will thrust
365 pounds. The entire weight of the
machine is ESQ pounds complete. This
machine on June 8, 1901, with an oper-
miles. It has done so several times
since with safety. This is the first
machine of it's kind that has ever risen
in the air with human being on
board In an upward course"

THE SUM OF 100000 ENOUGH.

There Is some discussion in the state
press and among members of the leg
islature as to the amount that should
be appropriated by the Iowa general
assembly for the st. Louis exposition
In 1893. The recommendation of the
Louisiana Purchase commission for an
expenditure of s250,oo0 is generally re-
Karded as too high. Senator Hayward
of the legislature, who is also mem
her of this commission. is opposed to
the expenditure of $250,0o0. He thinks
$4,000 Is enough to make an ade-
Quate showing. Senator Garst and
John Hughes, IT., chairmen of the two
appropriation committees in the two
houses, are also against the $25o,00o ex-
penditure. Mr.. Hughes believes $780,
600 is large enough sum, and the
Times Republican is of the same opin-
ion. Without doubt the commission
placed the amount high in the fear that
Ii would be cut down, and in this re-
spect It looks as If they would not be
disappointed.
The Times Republican believes that
use should be made of this great occa-
sion to show Iowas advantages as
manufacturing state. as well as to dis
clay exhibits of its agricultural, dairy
and stock interests. Iowas manufac-
turing possibilities have not been de-
yeloped as fully as they should be, nor
Ms completely as they would be II
knowledge Of it's opportunities were
more widely diffused. With cheap food
and cheap fuel, it is not surpassed by
any other field rs home for manufac-
lures. 1t has a population of large
consumptive capacity, also, and rch
enough to buy large bulk of the arti-
cles put out by manufacturers. thus
furnishing market near home.
An appropriation of 100000 will be
large enough to display Iowa's diversi-
fed industries and magnificent re-
sources, but 1t may be necessary to cut
off some of the ornamental features
or salaries to do this. The legislature
will do we'll to guard against an ex-
penditure which the people will regard
as unwise

Expensive smoking.

Some men smoke a pipe for the sake.
Of economy, because they can't afford a
good cigar, and other men indulge in
the meerschaum and brier because they
claim it is the only way to get the full
enjoyment out Of tobacco. The ques-
ton of economy doesn't enter into the
scheme of the latter class.
A Walnut street manufacturer Of
Turkish cigarettes sells at $3.50 a
pound a considerable quantity of i'm
ported tobacco. His customers are con-
noisseurs, and they are men who can
amply afford to pay this exorbitant
price and say the goods are worth it.
Some OF them, to be sure, make it last
longer by mixing it with Virginia long
cut, for the Turkish tobacco is exceed
ingly pungent, and a little of it will
flavor an equal quantity of the cheaper
weed. A novice who was pricing this
tobacco expressed some surprise that
it should be so expensive. "a
'That isn't expensive" replied the
tobacconist. "There are Turkish tobac-
cos that with the duty added, would
cost as much as $50 pound in this
country" y."-Philadelphia Record.

Hiding Behind Zig Words,

A mining expert recently described a
lode as traYersing "a metamerphic
matrix of a somewhat argilloarenace-
Gus composition" This means literally
a changed mass of somewhat clayey-
sandy composition" This in it's turn
may be translated into plain English
as mud.
Why choke a puny fact with mur-
derous polysyllables? Huxley and Dar-
win, Lyell and Faraday could so write
as to be "understanded of the people"
and there is suspicion abroad in these
times that the big words so freely used
by small men are device to conceal
ignorance and ineXact thought rather
than proof of superior knowledge

ANTISEPTICS.

They Do Not Destroy, 1t Is Said, but
Only Arrest Germ Life.
The Edinburgh Scotsman begs leave
to correct the erroneous belief that i'm
plies that antiseptics can prevent de-
cay. Decay may be arrested without
killing the microbe which would pro-
duce it. A few drops of solution of
carbolic acid added to -four paste will
keep it sweet for a certain time, not
because the germs in the paste are de-
stroyed, but because these germs are
hindered for the time being in their
growth and multiplication and because
the paste is rendered temporarily an
unsuitable soil for the growth of what
ever microbes may fall from the air in
to it.
When the effect of the acid has worn
off and disappeared, we see the paste
going to the bad as rapidly as if it had
not been treated antiseptically at all.
Molds will grow in it, and it will decay
in the fashion familiar to everybody.
1t is in this way cold may act as an
antiseptic when it is used to preserve
meat and fish. There is no destruction,
but only arrest of germ life. If we wish
to kill microbes, therefore, we not only
have to use disinfectant, but we must
employ it in proper proportions and see
that it thoroughly attacks the germs
we wish to destroy. 1t is for this rea-
son that all attempts to kill germs
which the air may contain are worse
than useless. We cannot "disinfect' the
air. If we could do so, we should re-
quire to saturate the air with our germ
icide to such an extent that to breathe
it would kill us.
We get an excellent example of this
fallacy of "disinfecting air. when we
reflect that in using burning sulphur to
purify a, room after a fever case we
have to use it in such way and in
such proportion that it is impossible for
any person to remain in the room at
all.

No Wonder This Child's Brain Il All
In a Muddle.
The half dozen blocks about Dupont
circle include the homes of as many
scientists of national reputation. These
gentlemen of course know each other
and meet frequently. Not long ago one
Of their neighbors began to wonder
whether suca intimate intercourse
among scientists was a good thing,
his cogitation having had it's rise in the
following incident:
His little daughter has just reached
the age when she asks 200 questions a
day. About month ago her father
spoke Of some author as lacking the
proper Temperament" for writing on
history. That word Temperament"
apparently took root in the youngsters
mind. What was temperament? She
asked that question twice an hour for
an entire week.
Finally her father gave her note to
Professor - and sent her off to find
out. That scientist answered the que
ry as follows: Temperament is an in
dividual tendency to the rise of cer-
tain mental state" Father and daugh-
ter wrestled with that little while and
then applied to a second member Of
the scientific group for help. No. 2
called temperament "an ensemble Of
physical and mental traits arising from
fundamental constitutional differences
in Individuals" This put the little
girls father completely at sea. So No.
was tried. His judgment was that
Temperament is the psychic resultant
Of the whole organic life Of the indi-.
vidual." By this time hope was aban-
doned. But when No. volunteered to
make it clear the family spirits re-
vived. Temperament is general dis
position of the mind" he wrote, ''the
distinctions of which depend on the
dominance of one or the other of the
physiological systems"
And now the family dictionary is
