BALLOON AIRSHIPS.
Sport Of the Winds, but Safe With Sea
Room, Says WeIlman.

NeSHNF SeJS
Men who thought there was dan
ger that the America might be torn to
pieces by a storm had not reflected
well upon the physical conditions sur
rounding a ship of the air." says Wal
ter Wellman in Hampton's Magazine.
"A steamship or sailing vessel is BUT
feted by the wind and wave. but it is
partly immersed In an ocean of fluid
which offers great resistance and sub
tects it to violent shocks.
IAN airship is completely immersed
In a medium which offers so little re-
sistance that shocks are impossible.
1t is not an easy fact to grasp, but is
still a fact, that the only resistance
an airship offers to the wind. the only
strain or pressure upon her parts. is
that which she herself creates with
her engine and propellers.
ITO understand this principle ina
CINE the America in the air far out
over the ocean. 1t is calm: no engine
is running; the crew, perchance. is
asleep. Up springs a gale, fast gath
ering force till it reaches a velocity OF
fifty miles per hour. Nothing what
ever in the motion. the vibration, the
pitching or rolling Of the ship alarms
and awakens the crew. The America
being a free balloon, because no en-
CINE is turning. simply becomes part
Of the wind. so to speak, moves with
the wind. offers no resistance to it.
flows along as peacefully as If it still
were dead calm. A member OF the
crew awakes. rubs his eyes, goes to
his post, but IL # be night and he
cannot see the ocean he has no idea
whether the ship is standing still or
moving fifty miles per hour. II he
strikes a match to light his pipe the
fame curls straight upward. precisely
as IL he were in a closed rOOm-an ex-
perience which many Of us have had
in ordinary spherical ballOoning.
Suppose now the crew be reused
An engine is started. a pair Of propel-
lers set in motion. Then, and then
only. does the ship offer resistance to
the wind. and the measure OF her re-
sistance is the energy exerted by the
propellers-just that. no more. no less.
Nor does it make any difference wheth-
er the velocity Of the wind be ten or
a hundred miles per hour nor yet any
difference whether the ship be headed
into the wind or with 1.-THE result Is
the same. Obviously. as long as the
ship had sea room-cOuld keep herself
up in the air-no storm that ever blew
could hurt her. But it makes a ire
mendous difference as to the course
and destination Of the ship from what
quarter the winds come and with
what force they blow"

Java's Flying Frog.

The flying frog Of Java is usually q
beautiful green in color. white under
meath. with orange yellow soaring
membranes between the fingers. and It
changes color like the chameleon.
This frog feeds on insects, remains
quiet in bushes by day and when dis
turbed glides away TO quite a dis

TREATMENT OF HORSES.
How to Feed and Water Them In Het
Weather.

How TO Feed and Water Them IN Hot
Weather.
Extremely hot weather brings more
or less suffering to a horse, and II the
animal does not receive proper care
and attention at this trying period dis
astrous results are sure to follow.
Above all things else, says Country
Life In America, do not oyerwOrk the
farm horse or force the driver for too
much speed or make long drives with
out frequent rests.
At this season, when water Is usual
IL more or less scarce and horses APP
parently have an Unsuitable thirst, the
matter Of watering deserves consider
able attention. Do not give the horse
too much at a time, and IL is safest to
give none at all while he Is very
warm.
A bran mash twice a week will as
sist In keeping the system cool. and In
case Of overfat a dram OF pulveriEed
saltpeter added to the mash will be
beneficial.
On very hot days allow work horses
two hours for dinner instead OF one,
and do not feed until they are some
what cooled OF. Also remove the har-
ness at this time: this extra labor Is
more than OFFSET by the comfort 1t
gives the animals.
In q three horse team the middle one
Is most liable to heat exhaustion be-
cause Of the additional heat radiated
upon him by the horse on each side.
On this account II is advisable to
change the horses so that one will
not be compelled to be in the middle
for more than half a day at a time.
The pernicious Fostering OF dies Is
another matter that cannot be over
looked. The dairy cows and calves. as
well as the horses. can be well pro-
tected from flies by such preparations
as are for sale at almost all drug stores
or are advertised in the farm papers.
These preparations are not expensive
and are best applied with a sprayer.
although a brush or rag will do IL q
sprayer Is not available. For the work
horse a light treatment every morning
will AFFORD better protection from fies
than a net or blanket and is much
cooler.
According TO another writer. II is al
lowable when a horse is hot TO let him
have three or four swallows Of cool
water. but no more. The few swallows
will help cool him. and another limited
drink may be given every few minutes
for four or FIVE times. after which he
may drink his ill without danger. In
careless or inexperienced hands. how
ever. the only safe way Is to let the
horse stand for half an hour or more
with no water until he is fairly cooled
OF.
Salt Is necessary TO horses, but 1t
should not he given TO them in large
quantities and irregularly. An excess
Of salt at one time produces conges-
ton of the stomach and induces ex-
cessive thirst. The best plan is to
keep rock salt in reach OF the horses
at all times. so that they can satisfy
their appetite by an occasional lick.
II you have not followed this practice.
introduce il gradually by giving the
animal a little salt with his regular
ration for a week.
