Future Aerial Navigation.

II there is any connection between
ballooning and aerial navigation 1t Is
remote. The airship of the future
probably will not have even a speak
ing acquaintance with the clumsy gas
bag that now is a necessary part OF
the apparatus by the aid of which
a%eronauts rise from the earth and &C
complish brief flights. Some day scien'
lists will conquer the real theory OF
flight. Much progress has been made
in that direction already through
study of the mechanical principle op-
Grated by birds. Once those princi'
piles are discovered and the problem
of their application is solved, man
will build himself a actual airship
having a commercial value. Then the
question Of the weight to be raised
will be relative only and the airshlp
will be as independent of air currents
as the sea.going ship now.-Columbus

native division the week started out
with a big run Monady, but it has
dwindled down each day since the
total for the week will be moderate
at around $1,000 including 5000
calves. General cattle receipts are
running 10 to Is per cent chort of a
year ago, said to be the result of
less urgent necessity to market stuff
on the part of owners than in former
years, and now owing to a shortage
Of the available supply. In the quar-
antine division fewer strings of good
steers appear each week, and more
mixed lots, with Il corresponding de-
cline in nthe general quality.

WHO OWNS THESE TEETH?
That Is Mystery That Is Agitating
Ypsilanti, Mich, Mail Carriers
Who Get Queer Package.

Ypsilanti, Mich.-There is a new YER
sion of the Cinderella story which is
more up to date than the original which
has done duty through several genera
lions.
According to the new one the modern
prince is going about Ypsilanti inspect
ing the mouths of would-be princesses
to see whom a wandering set of upper
teeth may possibly fit.
Recently when the post Office carriers
made their collections from the city
mail boxes one of them discovered a set
of false teeth in one of the boxes. The
teeth were not wrapped up or labeled as
to their destination nor was postage
prepaid. So that the authorities have
no idea as to their ultimate destination.
Just how they came there is also a
mystery and whether some night wan
derer tried to swallow the mail box and
got too big a mouthful, or whether the
teeth were destined as a gift for some
member of the force, is not known. The
teeth will be kept a week and then re-
turned to the dead letter Office as I'M
mailed matter.

WORKS FARM LIKE A MAN.
Wife of Man Who Becomes Insane
Saves Property by Her Exertions
-Complimented by Judge.

Knightstown, Ind.-The final settle
ment in the Henry circuit court of the
estate of George Shoemaker reveals the
story of how a plucky little woman made
a brave fight to save the farm, support
two children and maintain the family
respectability after she had been de-
prived of a husbands help when he was
sent to the insane hospital.
A few years ago, when Rufus Shew-
maker was murdered by John Thrawley
in the northern part of this county,
George Shoemaker, a brother of the
murdered man, went insane from brood
ing over his brothers untimely death.
Shortly before he had purchased a farm
and when he was committed everyone
thought the farm would revert to the
original owner.
Not so, however, for the brave little
wife set herOically to work. met all the
notes as they fell due, paid the taxes
regularly and the court has just author
lied the administrator of the estate to
turn the farm over to her.
All the while Mrs. Shoemaker worked
the farm herself, marketed the crops
and did all the farm work without male
assistance and at the same time she sent
her children to school. When Judge
Morris issued his order he publicly com.
plimented the little woman for the
brave fight she had made and declared
that it was more than many men could
have done.

London. - Interesting experiments
with blue light as an agent for produc-
ing analgesia, or insensibility to pain,
the discovery of Prof. Redard, have been
carried out by DR.. Harvey billiard, ana
esthetist to the Royal Dental hospital
of London. In an article in the Medical
Times and Hospital, DR.. Hilliard states
that he found that a blue light had on
himself a most distinctly calming in
fuence, a desire to close the eyes and
sleep is experienced, and, after some
minutes, sensibility to pain is lessened.
For instance, the difference between a
light pressure made with the tip of the
little finger and a needle could not easily
