The Hyposcope.

A device has recently been invented
which is destined to play no small part
in warfare of the future. 1t is called
the hyposcope and will enable marks
man to fire with accurate aim without
exposing his head to the fire of an enemy.
This instrument is of English invention
and was used with great success in the
war in South Africa. 1t consists of a
series Of mirrors mounted in a tube Of
inverted L shape. The shorter arm lies
across the barrel of the rifle. at rear
sight, while the longer aim hangs down
at one side The first mirror reflects
the light coming in along the barrel of
the rifle to a second mirror at the elbow
of the instrument. which directs the rays
downward to mirror at the lower end
of the tube, and thence it passes out at
right angles to the eye. Thus the rifle
man secures accurate aim while holding
the rife above his head. By means Of
a fine scale accurate elevat ton may be
determined, and the windage regulated by
a thumb screw at the end of the hori-
zontal arm. The instrument is very
compact and light weighing about a
pound: Those who are familiar with the
use of the mirror which is placed in the
S chamber of the rifle to examine the
the workings of the hyposcope

QUEER LAPSE OF MEMORY
Man Forgets His Name and Place Of
Residence.

New York, July 21.-Physicians at Kings
County hospital, Brooklyn, received in
formation from Ashtabula Ohio, concern
ing patient who is afflicted with one Of
the most remarkable phases of aphasia
that has ever come under their notice.
The patient was sent to the hospital
from the Kings penitentiary to which he
had been committed for vagrancy. He
was able to discuss intelligently almost ev-
cry topic but his name and residence and
the facts pertaining to his career before
he fell into the hands of the police. After
several days the man said he had a vague
notion of having lived In Ashtabula and
thought he could learn Of his Identity by
visiting that city. A.
He was permitted to make the experi-
ent and started at once for Ohio.

the resort to the cellular style Of con-
struction based upon the tetrahedron as
a unit
Professor Bell first attempted to build a
large kite of the same shape as the smaller
Hargrave box sort He ran against the
mathematical principle cited by Professor
Newcombs and was brought up short. His
big kite was too heavy to lift itself from
the ground.
He then went to work with the tetrahed-
ron, which Is figure formed by six sticks
of equal length attached end to end, and,
by multiplying the cellular units found he
could make the supporting wing-like sur
faces for a flying machine as large as de-
sired and as light in proportion as the
smaller ones. Professor Bell built hun
dreds of kites on this new plan, and finally
made one which lifted q man and 200
pounds weight in addition. In one Of the
| experiments of which he told the academy
! of sciences, he had built kite resembling
in general shape, the small aerodromes OF
Professor Longley, and had started to ny
| 1t in a stiff breeze. But the first thing he
knew the big kite had released itself from
| Its mornings, and the two men who were
holding ut We're lifted off their feet and
| carried into the air. Fortunately they
had sense enough to drop before they had
been taken up to a dangerous height
II have had the feeling" explained Pro-
fessor Bell, in giving the reasons for ex-

constructed flying machine should be cap
able of being flown as kite; and con-
versely, that a properly constructed kite
should be capable Of use as a flying ma
chine when driven by it own propellors. I
am not so sure, however, Of the truth Of
the former proposition as am Of the lat
ter
| "Given kite, 50 shaped as to be suit
able for the body of flying machine, and
so efficient that it will fly in a good
breeze (say twenty miles an hour when
loaded with weight equivalent to that
i of man and engine; then 1t seems to me
that this same kite, provided with an act
Iual engine and In place of the load, and
| driven by its own propellors at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, should be sus-
tanned in calm air as flying machine. So
far as the pressure of the air Is concerned
it is surely immaterial whether the air
moves against the kite, or the kite against
the air.
There Is reason to believe that Profess
sors Langley and Bell have collaborated
in the construction Of the machine about
which so much has been said lately, and
about which so little seems to be known
Professor Bell announced three months
ago that he would resign his duties as
president Of the geographical society an6
devote himself this summer exclusively
to the flying machine problem He will
doubtless be a witness to the experim ent:
on the lower Potomac. It seems either
that Professor Bell supplies the wings tt

of Professor Bells kites. The one thing

He unintentionally left the door Of the
cage open and the reptiles began to
swarm out. In trying to close the door
Albright was bitten four times, twice on
the legs and twice on the arms. He
drank a large quantity of whisky and
drove here for treatment.
Before reaching the hospital he was ar
rested twice for fast driving, but on
showing the snake bites was permitted
to go his way. The authorities say he
will recover.

Cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Clay's Letter to Cothran & Co
 New Orleans, January 15.-Nith each successive hour the cotton market seems to gather additional strength. Foreign traders are now manifesting their disap- pointment over the failure of receipts to keep up with protraeted promises, and have announced their belief that the sit uation warrants higher prices. At least this view was expressed in private cables, and the English market displayed a firm ness that practically confined this. Deliv- cries and spots improved about f points and 10000 bales of actual cotton changed hands at the advance. There was no re- taxation in the firmness here. The tenor of cables and the continuance of an ac- tive spot demand at rising quotations suf- feed to buoy the market without any ex- tra stimulus. The improvement proceeded gradually without interruption, and new high price records for the season were scored when July passed cents. Closing quotations are 10 to F points higher than yesterday.
 As is customary on such occasions. the market is finding an abundance of friends amongst those who could not understand why cotton should have been bought when prices were cent per pond cheap CT, This element Is now inclined to buy without limit, and Is without doubt as sisting materially in forcing the advance This Is a feature that is deserving of con- sideration, for while all the surrounding influences continue apparently very fay- orable, an accumulated long interest at advancing prices Is always a menace of greater or less extent, according to the magnitude of the interest. The movement is still the principal factor in the situa- tion for the time being, and regardless of what the ultimate course of prices will be, the nature of receipts in the near fu- ture will determine tho stability of the established level of prices.

Baxter & Co.'s Cotton L .t+e,

New York January 15.-Cables today were so much better than looked for when the market opened that took fresh courage and appeared as good buyers. Opening sales were at an advance of 1 to 4 points. Foreign buying here was the feature and cables were decidedly more bullish The fact Is receipts day after day fail to show the increase looked for bv more persistent bears who have been mining their faith on a big January movement. With half month gone and no good evidence that there is more cot ton to come forward than usual at this time 1t is only natural that a spirit of unrest should prevail among people who are short From numerous accounts at hand it appears that there is a good de- mand for actual cotton in the south which has assumed the character of q grabbing game more or less and this must tell in the long run. Reports of stocks at un- counted towns show that the amount is far under last year. There was a report
