An Air Ship That Sails.

On the 23d ult., the King Edward
VII, new departure in Siderable
balloons, the invention Of Capt. Small
bones, of Kensington, made it's maiden
ascent from Stamford Bridge Grounds,
says an English exchange. There is
no motive power in the balloon, SO
that 1t cannot go against the wind,
but by the aid Of two triangular sails
attached to the sides it's course can be
directed. Capt. SmalIbones, accom-.
panied by Capt. Williams and Mr..
Cove, ascended shortly after 2 o'clock,
travelling over Putney, Hammersmith
and Barnes and Moulsey. At Hamp.
ton Court the balloon was steered
round the park and across the
Thames. At Guildford the balloon
was navigated round the town before
course was set for Godalming. the
objective Of the trip.

and clear, but her face went deadly
pale, even as the face of the young
man Adina put on CHASTITY pallor;
and as he stood before her in his shin
ing armor a great trembling seized
him, so that his armor shook and
sounded. And as she looked on him
and saw his grief, behold her heart bled
for him, and for all the visions of her
happy love; and she turned to him
and threw her arms about his neck.
And Adina clasped her to him, careful
not to hurt her tender body against his
mail-clad breast, and it seemed unto
them both that the barrier that had
come SO suddenly between their two
souls was even as this barrier between
their bodies-hard and cruel and i'm
passable. But there was no barrier be-
tween their lips, and as they softly
touched and trembled on each other,
they knew not whether that moments
ecstasy was of pain or joy.
And Jephthah sat and gazed on them,
and as he looked he was no longer the
mighty man of valor, but a creature
sore stricken, so that his hands shook
for very weakness, and feeble and i'm
potent tears fell down upon his beard
and trickled to his armor, while his
face was changed and piteous to be-
hold, and he looked, all at once, an
aged man.
Turning her eyes toward him, and
seeing him in such unhappy case, Ma
narah slipped from her lovers arms,
and went and knelt beside her father,
circling his neck with her tender arms,
and calling him all manner of caress-
ing names, while she kissed him with
deep lovingness on his forehead, his
cheeks and his lips. Then did she
loosen his heavy armor, and remove
each piece in turn, beseeching him to
take comfort, and avowing toward him
an affection more fervent and dutiful
than ever she had shown him in the
past. But Adina spake no word either
with or against her, but stood where
she had left him., with his right hand
holding the elbow Of his left arm,
which was raised toward his face, his

in complete armor, only he had re-
moved his helmet, so that his sunny
curls were uncovered. Right goodly to
look upon he was, in the majesty of
his stalwarti youth, but his ruddy skin
was ashen white, and in the great blue
eyes, which had so lately glowed with
so luminous a love-light, there was
now the shadow of great despair. And
ever his eyes were fixed upon the
maiden, following each movement that
she made, and the hunger of his soul
was in them.

CHAPTER VII.

When Jephthah at her bidding stood
up, that Namarah might lift from him
the weight of his heavy armor, he
turned and looked upon Adina, and
great cry broke from him, and he sank
backward into his seat and covered
his face with his hands. But Namarah
bent above him and drew away his
hands, kneeling on her knees before
him, and holding them in both her
own.
May, grieve thee not, my father"
she said, tenderly. LET it be done
to me according as thou has vowed"
Thy life is mine, and vowed to mel"
burst forth Adina, hotly, taking a step
toward her, as if he would wrest her
from her father. But the compelling
eyes Of the maiden Namarah arrested
him, and he turned, and began to pace
the apartment with the angry strides
of Gagged beast.
"Ah, woe, my daughter" Jephthah
spake, that thy father, who hath SO
loved thee, Shout bring thee now such
hurt. 1t had pleased me we'll that thou
shouldest wed Adina. 1t was but the
morning Of this day on which I
dreamed these dreams, and to what are
they come? Alas, my daughter, why
earnest thou forth to meet me, so con-
trary to thy wont and usage? Thou

presence Of my lord, Adina, had but
one fear only, lest might fail Of my
honor to him-who knew not my ways
as thou knewest them-and appear un-
loving and ungracious in his eyes.
At these words Adina's motions
grew more gentle and he checked him
in his walk, and came and stood near
by, his chin sunk in his palm, as be-
fore, and his eyes, with most mighty
tenderness in them, bent upon Ma
marah.
but, how knewest thou, my daugh-
ter, that the victory was won and thy
fathers host returning, seeing I sent
no messenger before me, but made
haste myself to bring thee tidings?"
Then Namarah turned her fair face
upward, and said:
"Adina, speak. Let it be known
unto Jephthah, my father. that the
thing that Is come upon us was partly

carried by officers of the law. The
wrlstlets are only pair of leather
straps buckled on tightly. but the wire
loops which are attached to them have
been designed to more than make up
the difference between the two kinds
of manacles. When these have been
put in place over the fingers and
thumbs the prisoner is unable to close
his hands, and can, therefore, obtain
no grip on either the straps or any
article with which to fight. The loops
are Of steel, possessing great strength,
and yet Of such light weight that
the whole outfit does not weigh as
much as pair of steel wristlets of the
pattern in common use. The officer
may need assistance to place these
handouts on his man, but when they

fear of his ability to control the

Graphite Prevents Boiler Scale.

1t is said that a small quantity Of
graphite mixed with water used in
boilers will prevent scale forming,
and il scale is already in the boiler,
the graphite will penetrate the old
scale and decompose it, SO that it will
drop to the bottom. The discovery
that graphite is a water softener was
made by a mining company in Mexico,
which used water slightly colored by
graphite, and, noticing. that their. boil,
Ger kept free from scale, came to ths.
conclusion that the graphite acted as
the preventive. ## = = =. 55a Vt, ,1.: ri.

are put on them, while in, others it
rouses all the antagonism in their

have been designed especially for the
fighting class, and yet it will be seen
that for weight and strength they do
