gas supply balloons and will be used only
in further initiation of the dirigible needed
The larger spherical balloon will be used
daily for experimental flights, but will be
a captive balloon. and all the officers of
the class will be required to make accents
in it for observation purposes and to give
them a knowledge OF balloon manipulation.
The big Baldwin dirigible will be taken
to Fort L~eavenworth early in June for
demonstration work there, and will later

will be retained at Fort Omaha for ex-
perlmental flights.

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers. it appears, are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on a tree about which we have very little information. but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whos1 pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put in cakes. to which they give sweet flavor, but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment a kind of wine is produced. and by distilling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos. are very fond.-Vulgarisa- tion Scientifque.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
What 1t Means to Man .o Be Pioneer
 In Thoucht

10 be q pioneer n thought is to stand alone with nature. Eut for few minutes, but for fife. The isolatencss Gt the few great minds of each gen eration of men is utterly undrcamed of, for want of understanding. by those about them. Yet think what 1t is to pass ones days in thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only in years to come; to con template in lonely ecstasy, after still lonelier despair, the revelation that comes with months and more of pon- dering. When some one asked New ton how he came to make his wonder ful discoveries he replied, Simply by always thinking about them.'

 AS if this loneliness by nature were not enough. it must needs be accen- tuated by man, for he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, ill patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab- surd. Think you the denunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he is dead?' The loneliness of greatness is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous renown.-Percival Lowell in Atlantic.

THE COOKS FAULT.
No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served,

One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home number of wild swans. one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 "All the boys" said Mir Cleveland. thanked me politely for having re- membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, I found, had his cooked on night when he was dining out. Another, when I asked him, said he hoped I wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally I asked him about it.
 "'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, l got the swan all right. thank you and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 ".Fine bird l said.
 "'Yes. sir. fine bird and he went on working.
 ".Enioy eating him. Thurber?
 He waited a minute and then he said: Well. sir, guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a smile"

GanderbOne'S
Forecast for May

The shades ofNnight were falling fast
As through the Afric Jungle passed
A wounded lion, badly hit
And followed by crowd, to-wit;
One ex-President,
Four crackers,
Two gun bearers,
One water boy,
Three photographers,
Two stenographers,
One taxidermist,
Two SINNERS,
One ammunition wagon,
And 400 bushbeaters.
At length the lion reached his liar
Backed into it in deep dispair,
And vowed so long as life was his
To fight, though sorely wounded, viz:
One leg shattered,
Two knife slashes on back,
Four ribs kicked in,
One dum-dum bullet in head,
Two steel-nosed bullets in body,
One ear blown off,
And bitten through the windpipe.
The shouting and the tumult grew,
The angry bullets spat and flew,
And when the king of beasts was not
The following fireworks were shot:
Six skyrockets,
Two Aowerpots,
One spinwheel,
Four Roman candles,
Three Booker Washington chas-
ers,
Two medium sized bombs,
And one son-of-a-gun.
