Leonardo da vinci Was the First One
to Suggest It.
Credible accounts exist of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes.
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried TO fly by precipitating himself
from the height Of tower with the
assistance OF wings attached to his
arms and his feet. 1t is said that, hav-
ing gone along a little way, he fell aI.i
broke his legs. He attributed his acct
dent to failure to provide his appara-
tus with tail, which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that a bird,
which Is heavier than the air, sustains
itself, advances in the air, "hy render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where 1t does not pass" In order
10 fly it has to fix its point of support
on the air. Its wings In the descending
stroke exert pressure from above
down, the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center of gravity OF
it's body TO ascend at each instant to
the height Mt which the bird wishes to
maintain 1t. Some sketches which have
come down to us prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to fly
by the assistance of wings suitably
fixed to the body. "
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed In the following terms: IF a
man had pavilion each side of which
was fiftDen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear Of
Danger 1t may be said, too, Of Leo
nardo da vinci that he was the first TO
suggest the idea of the screw propeller.

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Washington Worried by Anti
Japanese Agitation.
LABOR LEADERS NOT IN DEAL
Big Corporations Said to Be
Backing Movement.

Washington, Feb. 3.-No single
question nor, indeed, any group oil
questions is absorbing the interest
end concern of the administration at
this moment to the same extent as
certain of the phases of the anti-Ja'
panese agitation in California. The
president has been in communication
with many reputable persons who
should be thoroughly informed as to
the conditions on the Pacific coast. II
is admitted that a systematic agita-
aion was in progress on the coast, but
q significant feature of its lack OF
strength was the fact that the labor
leaders had taken no prominent part
In it. Indeed, it has been stated to
the administration that the real main
spring of the agitation was to be
found in some of the great corpora
lions that had found their profitable
business of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts Of the
administration to stop this class OF
immigration. For the fact is that in
the opinion of the administration the
negotiations with japan for a prac-
tically complete closure of American
ports to the entry of Japanese labor
ers are certainly jeopardized by the
extreme utterances of certain persons
in California and by the mere consid-
Grafton of such resolutions as were
entertained Monday by the Nevada
legislature.
Even agreements already reached,
which are being carried out in per-
feet good faith on the part of the
Japanese government. are endangered
in the sense that the present agitation
might very naturally tend to abate
the interest of the Japanese officials
In the execution of their obligations
in view of the unfriendly attitude as
sumed by some elements on the Pa
cific. Ii is these considerations that
have influenced the president in
reaching the conclusion that every
thing possible should be done to pre-
vent the enactment of legislation by
any state that would discriminate
against the Japanese as a class apart
from other foreign elements entering
America

SEVENTEEN men DEAD
Explosion Occurs In a Coal
Mine In Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 3.-Seven-
teen men are dead as the result of an
explosion in the No. Short creek
mine of the Birmingham Coal and
Iron company. Five of the dead are
white and twelve are negroes.
The explosion Is thought to have
been caused by windy shot. The
mines are about ten miles west of
Ensley and are difficult of access. The
bodies were taken from the mines and
the rooms and passages are now clear
The mine itself is practically unin-
jured.
Alex Bonneman, general manager
of the company, and Mine Inspectors
Hillhouse and Flynn hurried to the
scene to render what aid they could
and to make an inspection.
Ambulances were sent from Ensley
to the mines and collins will be rushed
out to the Inflated mine. The mine
was running in short force or the
death list would have possibly been
much larger.

MODERN SlLO
CONSTRUCTION.

The farmers Of the corn belt are com
inc to realize more aud more the value
of silage as a cheap, succulent feed.
For dairy cows it is almost indispensa-
hla If the best results are to be oh,
tanned. Experiments at various sta
lions show that it may also be used
successfully for fattening steers, sheep
and even hogs. To cid farmers In Sc
lecting the type of silo best adapted to
their conditions the Iowa experiment
station has made thorough investiga-
ton of silo construction and issued
bulletin on the subject, from which the
following is taken:
OF the silos reported by their own
ers or visited. 135 were located outside
Of the barn and % inside. Those To-
Gated inside of a building were largely
of a type not well adapted to be placed
outside. These reports indicate that
n location of the silo outside OF all
buildings meets with greater favor
among those using silos. There are
good reasons for this. First, the silo,
with the exception Of few types, Is
Of such a construction that 1T does
not need the protection of a covered
building. Second, 1t is not economical
to place silo in building where it
will occupy space which may be put
to other use Third, silo located In
side of a building Is often unhandy TO
fill. The forage cannot be delivered to
the cutter conveniently. Fourth, by
locating silo outside Of the building
and only connecting II thereto with
a passage provided with doors, the OBJ
1ectionable odor of the silage may be
kept out Of the building. By arrang-
ing the silo so as to be connected to
the feeding room with a feed way, 1t
should be as convenient for feeding as
when located in the building itself. A
very common arrangement is to so To-
| cate the silo that the passage way
from silo to barn is continuation of
| the feed way in the barn. In general,
| 1t seems that there are few advantages
in building a silo inside of building
and many In building it outside.
Square silos are practically thing
Of the past. They were developed be-
fore the round silo, but generally gave
| trouble by the bullying of the straight
| sides and the spelling of the silage in
| the corners. In addition to this the
material of construction is not so eco
nomically used or distributed to resist

were somewhat reduced by filing the

success depends largely, however. upon
the method Of construction, material
used and care that Is taken of the silo.
A rev years ago 1t could have been
said that concrete silos were In the
experimental stage. but now 1t has
been demonstrated by the success of
many or them that concrete Is one of
the best building materials from which

Editor Reporter and Farmer:
| notice an article in the World
by X. j. Philbrook called "Just a
Suggestion" that seems to tickle the
editor of the World, although he
says in his answer to Mr. Wyganow
ski, he claims that he has voted the
old republican party ticket for the
last Az years. He seems to enjoy
any slur against that grand old
party. Now Mr.. Philbrooks suggests
after the idea Of Governor Sheldon
OF Nebraska, to have the old repub-
lican and democrat party sterilized
Does Mr.. Philbrook want to injure
the party that granted him his pen
sion for clerking in St. Paul in the
commissary department. There
were only two battles fought in St.
Paul from 81 to '66: The battle of
Pea Soup and the battle Of Widow
Mccormick, and l don't know which
battle Mr.. Philbrooks was injured in.
Then he says that the old parties are
responsible for 80 per cent OF all the
crimes through the whiskey route.
Mistaken again, Mr.. Philbrooks, for
the southern states were the first to
vote out the saloon and they have
always been democratic. Whiskey
never was a party question; il has
been the churches, an institution that
has never paid one cent toward the
support Of this government, but on
the other hand the brewing and dis.
tilling interests have paid one third
the support OF this government, SO !
make the statement that the prohibi-
tion party has be-n and is, at the
present time, responsible for 90 per
cent of the murders and bank rob-
berries. Only two thirds of the states
have gone dry, and more murders
and bank robberies in the last FIVE
months than there were in the five
years before, SO why does Mr.. Phil
brook want to destroy both the old
parties Is he going to run for
