FREAKlEST OF
FLYING MACHINES.

Special Correspondence.
~ RussELs, Oct i7.--Grotesque IN
X the extreme is the latest flying
ID machine now on exhibition here
at the Arts and Crafts exposition
in the Palais du Cnquartenaire In APP
pearance II resembles hugh wasp,
There have been many fantastic ana
weird models OF flying machines In
tho past but the "orthoptere," as this
one is called. easily takes first place In
the ranks OF the freaks.
This invention Is the Joint work OF
three members OF the Areo club OF Bel
gium. They are Baron do lie Hauit.
Captain Maiga and Monsieur Jansen.
They have spent much money and some
years IN perfecting their extraordinary
ideas. A model OF the huge wasp has
been successfully flown, but the big
machine itself has not yet had public
trial.
This wasp Is Of e0-horse power. IL
depends on its wings to raise 1t from

the surface OF the earth. These wings
or planes are made of oiled silk. In
addition there are gigantic aluminium
propellers which revolve at the terrific
speed Of 10000 revolutions per minute.
The 60-horse power is supplied by q
Buchet motor,
There are two skins to the body-an
outer one covered with heavy cloth
resembling dark brown velveteen and
an inner one of aluminium. There Is
an air chamber between the two skins,
The aeronauts take their places in
side the body which Is lighted by four
windows, two on each side and all eye
In the front OF the head. In the extrem-
ity Of the tail are three large balls fillod
with air, These are intended to soften
the conclusion when the machine comes
down to the ground The six legs are
put on for purposes Of balance and also
to complete the resemblance of the
machine TO a gigantic winged wasp.
The inventors are enthusiastic over
the completion Of the machine and are
sure OF It's success. This, however,
remains to be proven A trial is to
be made very shortly.

Foolscap Paper

A Ii know what foolscap paper is. but no
n doubt the reason for its name has
puzzled many eager lnquirerS Charles I. of
England granted many monopolies for govern
mental support among which was the manu-
faCture of paper. The water-nark of the finest
sort was the royal arms of England.
The consumption of this article was great,
and people who secured the sole right 70 sell
1t soon acquired immense fortunes. Parliament
set this monopoly aside, and when Charles /.
was brought to the scatfod they ordered the
royal arms taken from the paper, and a fool
with his cap and bells 10 be substituted.
1t IS now about two hundred and fiftv wears
since the fools cap was taken from the paper
but that size of sheet still retains the name
and the water-mark placed there 70 the IN
dignity OF King Charles.

A Peculiar Book

nNE of the most curious books in the world
~ belongs to the De Ligne family OF
France This book Is neither printed nor
written All the letters are cut out Of the
vellum and interleaved with a peculiar shade
of blue paper. The work IS so carefully done
that the book is read with the greatest OF ease.
Rudolphus II. of Germany offered eleven
thousand ducats for it but II was not sold.
The most peculiar thing about this volume IS
that it bears the royal arms of England; but
as far as can be traced it has never been IN that
country.

Chinese Amazons

THE Amazons were not the only fighting
women. In 1883, among the armies Of
Chinese rebels in Nanking there were over half
a million women of various ndtionalitieS. who
were formed into regiments and brigadeS under
the leadership OF female officers.
OF these ten thousand were picked women
who were thoroughly drilled, and who gar
risoned the city. The rest composed con-
strucuve brigades, and were obliged To dig
ntrenchmeuts and work the fortificationS.

Perfumes

DERFUMES have been used from the earliest
L times. The burning OF perfuned incense
was one of the rites of the Hebrew and pagan
religions, and perfumes of various sorts were
used by nearly all the nations of antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were skilled
in making perfumerv.
1t was from the Arabs. who possessed the
art of preparing perfumed waters. that the
use of perfumes was introduced into medieval
Europe

eighteen months has been an en-
ployee Of this Office, took
charge of all the street work
which includes soliciting and
job work, local reporting, coIlec-
tiOns. etc, for this establishment.
The Office and street work com
bined is too much for the proprie-
tors to handle without assistance,
and as the busy season will soon
be here it will be still harder for
them to handle it. Mr.. BaiIy is
a perfect gentleman, a newspaper
man of considerable experience,
and is thoroughly qualified for the
work, ANY cOurteSIeS that may
be extended to him will be duly
appreciated by the publishers,
who are making the move to better
handle the business and to increase
as much as possible the already
excellent local service.
