A Boy Aef0nau..
(American Boy. }

| American Boy.)
A year or more ago The American
Boy chronicled the efforts of thir-
teen-year-ol boy, Cromwell Dixon,
of Columbus, Ohio, to invent an air
ship. 1t was related that he had a
workshop at the rear of his home
we'll equipped with batteries, tools,
and mechanical devices; also that he
had successfully built a row boat
which would carry four persons, and
a fish that would swim by clockwork.
Recently Cromwell has had the
satisfaction of being able to navigate
the air in the airship upon which he
has been so long at work. Unar-
nounced, he made his first ascent
from the Columbus Driving Park,
and soon hundreds of people were
watching the ship which was moving
far above their heads. 1t was right
fully proud moment for this-the
worlds youngest aeronaut.
1t will be recalled that Cromwell
expended three hundred dollars fer
Japanese silk with which to make
the gas bag. To fill the bag with
gas he used homemade generators.
The four-inch mesh net he also made
himself. For power on this, his first
invention of the kind, he utilized an
important part of bicycle. From
the bicycle he eliminated the wheels
and forks, but retained the sprocl1et,
pedals and handle bar. This pedal
arrangement provided the footpow-
er which operated the propeller.
Cromwell calls his airship "skycy-
cle."
On his second attempt to navigate
the air, when he reached height of
1000 feet, he had a most exciting
experience. He found his ballast
was too light and that he might be
unable to descend. With decided pres
ence of mind, he left his saddle and
climbed along the light framework
until he reached the end, and there
let out enough gas to give the air.
ship proper ballast. He then tied
the end Of the bag and. returning to
his seat, pedaled for all he was worth
and thus reached The ground in safe
ty. Much more, without doubt, will
ere long be heard of this youthful
aerOnaut.

The Elevator Boy.

(Rebecca Harding Davis, in Interior)
There was a lean, freckle-faced
boy who a year or two ago ran the
elevator up and down in an old
shackly Office building in Philadel-
phia. l often went up in it, but GER
tainly | never ouspected Billy" of
any noble quality which raised him
above other boys, high as was Saul
among his brethren.
But one day the old house began
to shudder and groan to its founda-
tions, and one outer wall after an
other fell amid shouts of dismay
from the crowds in the streets. And
Billy, as these walls came crashing
down, ran his old lift to the topmost
story and back again, crowded with
terrified men and women. He did
this nine times. Only one side of
the building was now standing. The
shaft of the elevator was left bare,
and swayed to and fro, The police
tried to drag the boy cut of it, and
the mass Of spectators yelled with
horror as he pulled the chain and
began to rise again above their
heads.
There's two women up there
yet," said Billy stolidly. And he
went on up to the top, facing a hor-
rible death each minute, and know
ing that he faced it. Presently
through the cloud of dust the lift
was seen coming jerkily down with
three figures on it. AS it touched
the ground the whole building fell
with a crash. The women and the
boy came out on the street unhurt,
roar of triumph rose from the
mob. Scores had been saved by the
fidelity of the heroic elevator boy.
But it was 6 O'Clock, and Billy
slipped quietly away in the dusk
and went home to his supper; for
your real hero does not care to re.
main for the shouts and clapping OF
hands.

The Average Family Earning.
(Southcrn Cultiyator. }

NSOuLhcrn IultlVatOfJ
1t will be an interesting item to
each reader to learn what is the
average earnings Of each member OF
the family. The average annual
amount earned by the farmers fami-
ly is $73, to each person in the family
and to all other classes $50. This is
an encouraging fact to the soil tiliers.
Many are disposed to be dissatisfied
with farm life, therefore the boys
and girls leave the farm and go to
cities and engage in pursuits that
pay only S39 per year when other ex-
penses are deducted. On the farm
when the sale of poultry, stock and
crops are combined, if divided equal
" with each child in the family there
will be about $40. to $75 per member
of the family. This is good aver
age for family Of half a dozen. By
fertilizing the land, giving it two ex-
ira workings in 1908, and using the
best of seed, the Agriculturist be-
lieves that the crops will be so in
creased that all the farms will pro-
duce enough to allow 500 to each
member of the family. Let every
member of the family work in unison,
keeping an account of sales, and try
tor hrino tho amount IN to Sl00 to
every boy and girl in the family.

Doesn't Relp Everything.
(The Standard.)

Say what the prohibitionists may
there is no doubt that certain indus
tries are injured by the strict en-
forcement of prohibitory and local
option laws. Certain county board
ing houses in dry" towns are al
most without patrons. Their hosts
declare that their cellsare vacant
and few permanent customers are
obtainable. The sale Of pistols has
fallen off in some PLACES until there
is mo money in it, for the hard
ware dealers who sci them to fool
boys and drunken husbands. Police
magistrates have .lmost lost their
business. Surgeons have fewer
heads to bandage and druggists sell
less adhesive plastg. Collectors of
bad debts are also complaining of
dull business. But more meat is
now bought, and more savings ac-
counts are being pened and more
children have warn shoes on their
feet, and certain heads that have
not worn a new bonnet for years are
now adorned withwaving plumes.
The old worm-eatel argument that
prohibition is a failure because
prohibition doesr't prohibit" ap-
pears to have ben abandoned by
the scared liquor interests. One
Chicago wholesale liquor dealer con-
fessed the other day that where up
to last year he was yearly selling
5000, 900 worth of his stuff in Geor-
gla he IS not now selling a cents
worth. In time the other stock ar
gument that prohibition hurts"
town will have followed the other.
For scores of cities and towns are
disproving it's truthfalness. Kansas
City, Kans., under prohibition built
nearly $500, 900 worth more of new
buildings in l907 thar in 1906 under
the saloon era. Atlanta will receive
in taxes this,year S13$, $50 more than
the receipts of last year. This in
crease is more by $27,O27.S4 than
the total amount received by the city
from retail and wholesale whiskey
licenses last year. TIE total taxable
property in the city last year was
$50. .067, l03. The total taxable prnr-
erty in the city : is gear is $50, 1885,
$50, according to the comptroller's
compilation. Jacksonville, H., has
been a local option city since last
year. The postmaster of the city
says: Il have talked with substan-
TALLY all Of the bankers of the city
and great many merchants, some
Of whom were opposed to local op-
ton law when the vote was taken,
and | have never talked with, or
come in contact with a single busi-
ness man who has said that the fact
that saloons have been banished
from the city has injured the other
lines of trade. On the other hand,
they have uniformly stated that the
closing of the saloons has been ben
efcial to the other lines of trade
which deal with the necessaries of
life"
