 The King sent messengers to the place named with orders to place an envelope at the foot of the tree and then watch what happened. The watchers had not long to wait. A man who had evidently been keeping an eye on them was seen to take the envelope.
 The messengers promptly closed with him and he has had an opportunity of thinking out fresh schemes in prison.

lshed results of it's capacity for flight There was time not so very long ago when the offer to supply an automobile that would travel on a highway as far in day as a train of cars on a steam railroad would have been received with as much scepticism as the proposal to sell aeroplanes for pleasure encounters now.
 In an age in which science produces new marvels every few years and progress is succession of leaps forward into what was but little while ago the un- known or the impracticable, 1t will not do to Gogmatize against the future of an invention that amazes us. Aerial navigation became an accomplished fact when Count Zeppelin maneuvered his great ship in Central Germay from city to city and province to province. The aeroplane-that is to say the heavier than air rival of the dirigible balloon-is more or less in the experimental stage, although it's achievements take hold upon the imagination. MT. A. M Herring, an in- ventor of this type of air craft is very sanguine about it's future, predicting that 1t will attain a speed of 125 miles an hour, and some time or other carry two men 2500 miles without landing We are willing to believe it. but may be per- riitted to wonder how 1t is to be done It is evidently more question of the I-SHl klIu or IHotOr than or the fabric i'll which the motive power is installed all though there Is much room for improve mert in the ship itself and its accessories.
 Thousands of inventors are at work on tie fascinating problem and we can't believe that they are all victims of a delusion. Some of them, like the Wright hrothers, are the most thoughtful and practical of men, and as far removed from visionaries as Watt or Stephenson was.

her that all our dealings are strictly con- fidential. I imagine that this one thing keeps dozens of women away who other wise would try to find out what the stars had to say to them.
 "Some persons are inclined to follow im- plicitly the teaching of an astrologer. Others are inclined to make light of cer- tain facts disclosed by their horoscope. Unless a man or woman Is freak he or she Is bound to be impressed by the facts concerning personal characteristics and physical and moral tendencies an astrologer gets from reading horoscope; but when the astrologer's advice and warnings run very much counter to a clients judgment and inclinations-well he is apt to dodge them This is human nature, suppose. Patients don't always take a physicians medicine-women pa- tients in particular. Nor can any astrol- oger claim infallibility against making mistakes, except in the prediction Of the tendencies in the human beings he studies. There a master of his study cannot err.
 'In the last two or three years, how ever. the percentage of my men clients who when about to put through an i'm portant deal or hatch a new enterprise come here to find out whether malefio or benefio planets will be in conjunction with their natal planet at the time they have In mind, has jumped up tremendous ly, and seldom or never will one of these men stick to date if I assure him, say, that the sun will then be in evil aspect with the planet under which he was born Nowadays mon with the most at stake have learned to make choice of the good days for the purpose in hand. In Ma poleon's day this was called superstition. We do not call it that now. Anyway, history assures us that Napoleon always consulted his astrologers before planning

 Heeded the Warning.
 "Unfortunately there are business men so situated that they can't avoid financial disaster, even though warned of 1t by their horoscope, simply because they can't shut up shop and become entirely inactive over a critical period. In the nature of things they have got to keep on and to meet the disaster. But know dozens of cases where by needing the warning got from reading of his horo- scope and remaining Imperative or nearly so over a given time men in several dif- ferent callings have avoided great losses to themselves and their families

PROMISE OF AIR FLIGHT

From the New York Sun.
 The bicycle manufacturers of 15 years ago have become the makers of auto mobiles, and the latter are now offering aeroplanes for sale When everybody rode a bicycle and the craze of fashion gave a powerful impetus to the good roads movement. no one dreamed that in a little more than 10 years the bicycle would be supplanted by the automobile; would in fact become almost obsolete. Now, before the first decade of the twen- tieth century is spent, the automobile is threatened with rival and a successor, the aeroplane, that holds out promise of the most exhilarating sport the world has ever known. Only the pioneers in the new flight, the professors of aviation, have yet experienced its joys but they aver that they can teach 1t, and even promise a development of their inven- tion that will permit everybody to fly at n cost less than that of possessing and

 There is no market list of aeroplanes in the United States as yet. but New York firm of automobile dealers Is pre- pared to make contracts for the con- struction of aeroplanes of a we'll known type, and their offer in a striking adver- tisement was not addressed to sensation lovers, but to practical men who have the means to gratify a desire to sail through the air. It is obvious that no in telligent man would trust himself to an aeroplane, especially as the sport is bound to be an expensive one at first, until he was convinced that the risk WAS insignificant compared with the pleasure of being carried through space. This will be the task of the daring promoters in the new field. They profess to be able to furnish the conviction, and We are left to wonder whether secret trials of the aeroplane have -transcended pub

ROYALTY IS sLAcKMAILED.
Victims Generally Pay Up-Some
 Schemes That Have Failed.

From Answers.
 In spite of all precautions no one moro readily falls a victim to the blackmaiier's 8 snare than a member of a royal house. If the blackmailer has the faintest shad- ow of a hold" 1t is impossible to fight 1t out in court and the unhappy prince must grin and-pay it.
 The German crown prince Is the latest victim. When he was at Ploen college he struck up a friendship with a young Ger man noble. Count Hochberg, who was also a student at Ploen. The friendship was kept up after college days were over, and for sometime letters were exchanged regularly.
 The count fell on evil days and had to emigrate to America, where he became chauffeur to a man named Barnes. After some time he dropped his own name and,
