statement from the Smithsonian Insti-

TO the Press-The present expert
ments being made in mechanical digit
have been carried on partly with funds
provided by the board Of ordnance and
Notifications and partly from private
sources and from an endowment OF the

msnts are carried on with the approval
Of the board of regents of the Smith

The public's interest In them may
lead to an unfounded expectation A. to
their immediate results, without an sx-
PLANTATION. which Is here briefly given:
These trials. with some conducted
with steam-driven flying machines. are
believed to be the frst in the history Of
inventions where bodies far heavier
than the air itself have been sustained
in the air for more than few seconds
by purely mechanical means.

only been reached after initial failures
which alone have taught me the way to

that 1t may be otherwise now. but
judging them from the light of past
experience. 1t is to be regretted that
the enforced publicity which has been
given to these initial experiments
which are essentially experiments and
nothing else. may lead to quite I'M
founded expectations.
1T is the practice of all scientific
men, indeed Of all prudent men, not to
make public the results of their work
till these results are certain. This con-
siderati0n, and not any desire to with

the public Is interested. has dictated

Another Organization.

Young women of the town of
Stroudsburg, Pa, have formed
an organization called the "Bach.
elor Maids" having for it's main
object the avoidance of slang.
Nor will the members be permit
ted to use chewing gum. Of
lenses of that character will be
punishable by fine, and deliberate
repetitions will be followed by
dismissal.
The meetings are secret, bat il
has been difficult to prevent
knowledge of the organization s
deliberations. 1t is proposed by
the Bachelor maids" to start a
war upon the use of liquor and
tobacco by young men. Associ
alton with any man who INDUCES
in such luxuries will subject a
member of the organization tC
dismissal. There is also pro
vision in the rules forbiddine
members to go to entertainments
and ice cream parlors in the com
pany of young men, but the fin,
for such violation is small, and i
is not to be expected that the
treasury shall suffer by strict ob
servance of the rules. Excuses
may be offered, and if satisfac
tory, the fine will be revoked.
Another clause provides tina
noue of the Bachelor maids
shall marry, but there Is also
suspicion that this law was mad

Barn Burned.

Last Friday morning about
three o'clock, }. Keil Tritle, who
lives in the old tollgate house at
the top of the Ridge west of town
was awakened from his slum Der,
by the excited barking of his dog.
Arising from his bed and going
TO a window, he saw that his barn
was afire. Arousing the rest of
the family, he hurried to the
scene of the conflagration, and
and reached it just in time to get
the horses out safe. On account
of the warm weather the cattle
had not been put into the stable
that night, or they would have
been destroyed; for it was all he
could do to get the horses out.
The fire, which was evidently
the work of an incendiary, had
been started in the upper part of
the barn, and was dropping
through into the stables when he
reached the barn. His mower,
drill, wagon, feed-in fact, prac.
tically everything in the building
was destroyed.
There is a light insurance on
the building; nothing on the con-
tents.
