A Description Of the Working Of the
Wrluht Brothers Aeroplane.

A Description of the Working Of the
Wright Brothers AeropIane.
In order to show the general read
er the way in which the machine
operates, let us fancy ourselves ready
for the start. The machine is placed
upon q single rail track facing the
wind, and is securely fastened with
cable. The engine is put in mo-
ton, and the propellers in the rear
whir. You take your seat at the
center of the machine beside the OPP
orator. He slips the cable, and you
shoot forward. An assistant who has
been holding the machine in balance
on the rail, starts forward with yon,
but before you have gone fifty feet
the speed is too great for him, and he
let's go. Before reaching the end or
the track the operator moves tho
front rudder, and the machine lifts
from the rail like a kite supported by
the pressure of the air underneath
1t. The ground under you is at first
perfect blur. but as you rise the
OF one hundred feet you feel hardly
any motion at ALL except for the
wind which strikes your face. II you
did not take the precaution to fastcn
your hat before starting, you have
probably lost 1t by this time. The
operator moves a lever; the right
wing rises, and the machine swings
about to the left. You make a very
short turn, yet you do, not feel the
sensation OF being thrown from your
seat, so often experienced in auto
mobile and railway travel. You find
yourself facing toward the point from
which you started.
The objects on the ground now
seem to be moving at much higher
speed, though you perceive no change
in the pressure of the wind on your
face. You know then that you are
travelling with the wind When you
near the startingpoint, the operator
stops the motor while still high In
the air. The machine coasts down at
an oblique angle to the ground, and
after sliding fifty or a hundred feet
comes to rest. Although the machine
often lands when travelling at a speed
of a mile a minute, you feel no
shock whatever. and cannot, in fact,
tell the exact moment at which II
first touched the ground. The motor
close beside you kept up an almost
deafening roar during the whole
flight, yet in your excitement you did
not notice II till II stopped!-From

GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL DEAD
POSTMASTER BARNES, LONG IN
THE SERVICE OF HIS CoUN-
TRY, KEELs OVER.

WASHINGTON. D.. c.. Oct. 21.-
Benjamin w. Barnes, postmaster of
this city, and wno served first as ex-
ecutive clerk under President Me-
Kinley. and later as assistant secre-
tary to President Roosevelt, dropped
dead here last night of hear failure.
Mr.. Barnes had been in particular
~ good humor today over the fact
that he had today been admitted to
practice before the supreme court of
the District of Columbia.
Or at least two occasions MIR.
Barnes came prominently into the
lime.icLt. One was at the time he
was a leeed TO have played a part in
ejecting Mrs. Minor Morris, a sister
Of Representative Hull Of Iowa, from
the White House. The event caused
a sensation at the time. President
Roosevelt stood resolutely by Mr..
Barnes and further emphasized his
friendship by appointing him, about
three and a half years ago, as post
master. A storm Of protest was
raised by Washingtonians against the
appointment, the point of objection
being that he was not a loca! man,
although Mr.. Barnes had lived here
for about a quarter of a century.

CABBAGE INDUSTRY.

Along with the rapid development
OF the South among other advancing
lines, there comes one supposedly COM
mon-place industry which has been
carried to such successful and scien-
tif1c development as promises to be-
come business of almost as much
Importance as the cotton, steel or
lumber features Of our development.
Everywhere there has been a hue
and cry about Investigation of crops,
and among the first to take the lead
in this line was Mr. c. NJ Gibson, of
Young'sl Island, S. c., who, with 9TH
ers, several years ago began growing
cabbage in a small way, and during
the past ten or fifteen years this
business has developed to immense
proportions, and at this time several
hundred cars of this product are ship
ped from this immediate section ev-
cry season to the various Eastern,
Northern and Western markets, re-
sulting in returns Of from one-haIf
to three-Quarters of a million dollars
annually.
Along with this industry sprang
demand for cabbage plants, which de-

mand has been increasing from year
to year until at this time it has be-
come necessary to employ extra force
to carry out in detail, the excellent
system of raising and packing the
plants, and handling the food of or
ders which come pouring in.
In connection with this plant bust
ness, Mr.. Gibson has gotten out a
very neat little catalogue, which is
full OF information about growing cab
bage, and will be found of considera-
BILE benefit to all who are interested
in this line, and which he will take
pleasure in mailing to anyone upon
request.
Those who have done any business
with Mr.. Gibson in this line, will, we
are sure, testify as to his straightfor-
ward, businesslike manner in the
treatment of his customers.

THERE'S probably no other Occur
patton under the SUD in which theory
and practice are so apt to differ as in
farming. theoretically, a horse
walks from two and one.half to three
miles an hour with a fair load. At
the former rate he will cover at least
tWenty-three miles in a nine and one
half hour day and that would amount
to blowing nine and three quartrrs
acres Of corn in rows of average
width. While there are men who
pillow this much corn one day after
another it is certain that they do not
have much time to uncover corn ex.
cept with their boot, or pull weeds
that the pillow does not happen
to uproot. Hasty work the first time
over young corn is not to be advised,
and if man plows from four to eight
acres, and does the work thoroughly
by giving the corn and the team
proper attention he should be given
credit for good days work.
