men as a rule take very little interest
in real progress unless profit is con-
nected Herewith and in sight.
Experiments have been carried on
for several years in the neighborhoOd
of washington, and judging from
what l have seen, what has been es-
tablished, l do not hesitate to state
that is is possible to lift and propel
enormous weight through the air by
proper appliances, and l take pleasure
in submitting an outline of an appar-
atus sought by mankind for centuries,
which, from an engineering stand
point, seems to fulfill the conditions
for navigating the air independent of
wind and weather
The present apparatus contains one
engine of almost common type of
three horse power and weighing fifty
one pounds. The weight Of the car,
including propeller, etc., is fifty
pounds, making a total weight of 101
pounds, the total lifting power being
108. This leaves seven pounds for
oil, which is sufficient to lift the ma
chine and hold the same in the air
about two hours.
This is certainly gratifying, al
though the apparatus has no practical
value, except from scientific stand
point and from an engineering point,
to be built further upon. And it can
not be seen why the true or practical
aerial locomotive can not be construc-
ted on this line. In the new plan two
engines will be employed each to have
at least fifty horse power, and they
can be constructed weighing about
five pounds per horse power, making
a total of 500 peounds. The weight
Of car, etc., will be about the same.
This would be total of 1000 pounds !;

Yelled and Silent Auctions in India.
In the course of an interesting pa
per on shellac, communicated to the
English Pharmaceutical society, Sir
George Watt, G. /. E., described the
quaint practice adopted at the auc-
tons in India.
The buyers and sellers join hands
and sit facing each other, cloth be-
ing thrown over the hands. The buy
er presses certain fingers of the
sellers hand, thus making an offer.
This is usually rejected by motion
of the head, and further finger press
ing eDsues.
Finally the bargain is struck with
out a word having been uttered. The
advantage claimed for this system is
that the buyer may proceed from one
seller to another and make his pur-
chases without his price being known
to other dealers.

Pointer for Business Men.

Don't talk about your business with
those who are not genuinely and SYM
pathetically interested. You will gain
nothing by talking to the casual ac-
quaintance; on the contrary, some
part of your pet scheme will be given
to the world, some part OF your
strength will be expended without
profit. If you have a firm purpose in
life. q conviction or an ambition, don't
talk about it to every new conner.
The idea or the purpose loses strength
by doing this. Watch out for those
who are really Enthusiastically
