against accident that would send them
crashing to the earth. My plan is to
have a gas holder of sufficient buoyancy
to overcome IS per cent. of the earth's
gravity on the machine and whatever
load it carries. The other five per cent.
of course, would be met by the wings
of the machine in motion. In case any,
thing should happen to the engine which
operates the wings '(these wings being
at once filters and propellers) the s.
per cent. of resistance inherent in the
gas would allow the machine to settle
70 the earth so gently that no injury
10 the aeronaut could result. In such
an emergency the wings themselves
would be used as parachutes, still fur

If the machinery and the gas holder
should meet with accident simultane-
ously there would be more serious trou-

very remote"

The Electrical Industry.

The electrical industry. though a
comparatively new field for develop
ment, is destined to be the greatest Of
all mechanical interests. Facts con-
corning Its widespread interest are
rare. The census Office has attempted
little In collecting such statistics till
recently, but the inquiries of the per-
manent census Office have resulted in
some remarkable facts. There are in
the United States $50 establishments
with capital of $S3.13O.943, some
5000 Offices and 40,S90 wage earners,
produced apparatus and supplies in
1900 valued at $91 ,34S,889. There
were, however, reports considered
from 1872 other establishments making
apparatus of an electrical character
as part of their business. and, all told,
these 712 concerns turned out product
to the value of $104.738.719.
Nor was this in reality the limit,
for 1t is pointed out in the report that
many companies. within an outside
the electrical field, build great deal
"0f their own apparatus for themselves,
but not for sale. No account, more
over, Is taken of electric launches,
AUTOMOBILES or locomotives, these be-
ing accounted for in the respective
branches of shipbuilding, carriage
building and locomotive building,
while they obviously include and du-
plicate some apparatus already report
ed otherwise by, electrical manufac-
turers. There is also no inclusion of
any electro-chemical or electro-metal-
largical products, although we'll nigh
all our copper ore is refined electrically
and sall our aluminium, carborundum,
calcium, carbide. ETC.. is the product
of electricity.
While electrical manufacturing is
shown to be chiefly concentrated in
some six eastern and two middle or
western states, the industry is fairly
head the list of states. with a total of
nearly 100000, but New York had
nearly 1S,000,00O and Illinois nearly
10000 900.

Boni de Castellane Boycotted.


Marquise de Fontenoy in her Euro
pean letter says:
1t would be- a great mistake to imag-
pathizes in any way with Count Boni
troubles. The letters and dispatches
from Paris that have been printed
here, intimating that the members of
the old aristocracy are siding with
him, are altogether misleading. They
strongly disapproyed of his marriage
from the outset, not from any objec-
family, but solely on account of the
endeayors made by youpg De C9stel-
lane himself to convey the Impression
at Paris that it was business trans
action rather than love match. Even
a couple Of charming little boys he
never neglected any opportunity to
insinuate that he had sacrificed him
self and all his feelings to the neces-
sity of regilding the family escutcheon
that is to say, of bringing money
into the impoverished house of Castel-
lane by means of marriage. Indeed,
to such point did he carry this that
whenever he showed friends and ac-
quaintances around the gorgeous man
sion. upon which he had squandered
such vast sums of his wife's money,
and reached her private apartment

ABOUT THE CHINESE WIFE.
unwaveringly Constant and Atten-
tive to the Comfort Of Her
Husband,

The Chinese wife is nearly always
constant, chaste and affectionate. Chi
nese stories like to cwell on the love
OF women that has no limit This. says
the Pilgrim, is why widowhood is
revered and >suicide, on the part OF
the bereaved woman, Is not condemned
in the old classics. 1t is because of
this general acknowledgment of the.
unwavering constancy of wives that
the tickle woman is neld up to scath.
Ing satire in their plays and proverbs.
1t is from a Chinese story that VOL
tatre drew his inspiration for the tale
Of the woman who promised her hus-
band on his death-bed that she would
not marry till his grave was dry. AID
was found next day tanning the mound
to hasten the drying process.
Much of this contentment on the
part of the Chinese women may. TO
doubt, arise from the common inter
est Of the husband and wife in the
growing family. You will often set
fathers wheeling baby carriages along
the streets. just as you may see old
er sisters carrying the little fellows
or mothers taking them on a visit to
their neighbor for a mutual COMPARE.

traits. Until his school days begin
the little boy does abe ut as he pleases,
but as soon as his days of study begin
he is put under very strict discipline.
' Girl babies are less welcome arrivals
in family than their little brothers.
especially. if there be- several of them
already. Among very poor people in
times of famine. girls are sometimes
sold into slavery by their parents. both
to rescue the rest of the family and
the girls themselves from starvation
The lot of the slave girl is hard
one. She has none of the rights of !
tree woman. But 1t ought to be added
that the Chinese look on this custom
with great disfavor. A slave owner
is nearly always a thoroughly hated
individual in the community.

.OpealAir Eating.

Very timidly the old custom of open
air eating is being revived. Many are
having their meals on warm days in
their gardens in London or in the
country; at hotels on the Thames the
proprietor no longer refuses to serve
tea In the open, and at most of the
suburban clubs luncheons and dinners
may be eaten on the terrace or the
lawn.-London Truth.
