NEW IDEA IN AlRSHlP.
Will Wireless Locomotion Solve the
 Problem of Aerial Navigation?

Some years ago, before wireless telegraphy was developed to its pres ent state of perfection, 1 conceived the idea of new form of antennae. little dreaming that my device would some day aid in solving the problem of aerial navigation, but as will appear later, my invention was destined to become an important factor in this wonderful achievement.
 The adoption of my device for this purpose was brought about by the construction of wireless electrical flying machine, which only lacked suit

Master of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister of war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton, for, besides wide general cultivation, he reads, writes and speaks Russian German and English and Italian. Such knowledge of language is not common with Frenchmen, even those of educa- tion, but Gen. Picauart's facility is ex- plained, perhaps, by the fact thaat he is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have long been noted in France for the readiness with which they acquire languages.

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillman probably earns more money every year on the lecture platform than any other American who talks to the public for pay. From an authoritative source the statement comes that the South Carolinian's net proceeds thus far this year from his lecture tour are $25,000. Senator Till man is paid from $250 to $500 lec- ture and he is constantly in demand. His season is not confined to the sum- mery Chautauqua course and he fills nearly as many dates in the winter as at any other time of the year. In the last four years it is said that he has laid aside over $60,000 from his lecture receipts. Henry WStterson perhaps comes next in the matter of earnings on the platform. Champ Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a popular favorite and makes about twice as much as lecturer as his con- gressional salary.

RothaehiIds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes 1t point never under any circum- stances to relinquish the prosecution of those who have defrauded it in the slightest degree, being willing, if need be, to spend thousands of pounds to capture and prosecute people who have robbed it of even few shillings, the Rothschilds make it a rule never to appeal to the courts or to the police in such matters. Of course, they are, like every other banker, occasionally the victims of dishonesty, but neither the police nor the public ever hear about the matter. This has always been a principle of the heads of the house, who take the ground that ittis better to bear the loss in silence than to disturb popular confidence in the safety of the concern by allowing it to be seen that it's treasures are not adequately safeguarded.
