Mr.. Cooper narrated to me the man.
ner in which he built what was be-
lieyed to be the first locomotive en-
CINE constructed and put into actual
use in the United States. This was
done. he said. at about the time
George Stephenson built the famous
locomotive named the Rocket. which
was the first to haul a train over an
iron-track railroad.
st have seen in my long life many
wonderful things said Mr.. Cooper.
II have seen an engine constructed
capable of hauling several coaches at
a speed of twenty-five miles an hour
operated by steam, and I have some
part in the marvellous changes which
have been caused by the invention Of
the steam railroad locomotive"
reminded Mr.. Cooper that his
name would always be associated ira
ditionally with that of Cyrus w.
Field. Marshall o. Roberts and a few
other Americans in the conception,
the financing and the construction of
the Atlantic cable. Mr.. Cooper
seemed to be pleased that l should
have recalled that circumstance.
He said that from the time Pro
fessor Morse, with whom he had in
innate personal acquaintance, had
invented his apparatus for convey
ing ineligible symbols instantly and
for a long distance through a wire
conductor he, Cooper. never doubted
the feasibility of a plan to connect
Europe and America by cable so con-
structed as TO convey ineligible sig
mails on the instant from one side of
the Atlantic to another.
But the wonders which | have
been permitted to see,' he said, 'sare
certain to be surpassed by and by.
I often tell my family that while I
cannot expect to live long enough to
see it, nevertheless some of them, I
am sure, will live to see the air con-
quered by machines as the ocean has
been conquered by the Atlantic cable.
For I am absolutely convinced
that the time is coming when the air
above us viii be intelligently and
successfully navigated by some APP
paratus as is the ocean. We are GER
tain some day to have a navigabie
air machine.

Men Under Burdens Bend
Which Hostile Planets Send.

A day devoid of important lead
ings. According to astrology the
plants are in malefic aspect, Neptune,
Mercury and Venus being in semi
square to the moon.
The configuration is read to augur
i'll for fair dealing and to aid schemers
who live by their wits. The omen is
bad for contracts and writings which
are contracts or leases; 1t tends to
bring trouble through lack of self
restraint.
Persons in hospitals, prisons and
public institutions are held to be ex-
tremely susceptible to the adverse
conditions which prevail in this posi-
ton of the planets.
The hostile aspect of Neptune is
interpreted to cause a desire for lux
uries and temptation to extrava-
gance of all sorts. The influence. also,
is believed to. attract mysterious and
undesirable persons and it is wise to

Let it be said again that you are
wasting your time if you are trying
to find any other way of directing
this worlds affairs than by force
We know no other way and there is
none. Time was when It was the
force of the good right arm, multi
piled by the length of the cave mans
club, that decided human destiny.
Later that force was multiplied by
brain and the length of sword and
fighting men. 1t was still force that
ruled and power meant more than
ever. Today it is brain and moral
force that prevail-brain multiplied
by countless engines of industry, by
the lifting force of the printing press,
the cables, the wires and the wireless
but force still.
The real education of the masses is
lust beginning. The old education of
the classes is of no less Importance;
rather it is becoming more important
through its adaptation to the every
day needs of the world. The gap be-
tween the rich and the poor is clos
ing-men are becoming more nearly
equal. The increased efficiency
of the masses is substituting
the democracy OF brains for
the aristocracy of privilege. and it is
doing it without great deal of help
from legislation or any other politi-
cal treatment administered to the oc-

81 have very often thought this II
heavy body like wild gose or an
eagle or the condor can fly or per-

heavier than air, there is no reason
why apparatus which initiates the

means by which it poises or propels

asked Mr.. Cooper why this had
not already been done.
simply because the engine or the
machinery which furnishes power by
which an air machine may be driven
and navtgated is yet to be invented. !"
he replied. Some man of science
will discover by and by a very light
and yet very effective tool. When
that discovery has been made some
other inventor will know how TO ap-
ply this new tool to a light and yet
very strong engine. have some
times thought that possibly the solar
engine upon which Mr.. Ericsson has
so long worked, would furnish the
means by which energy could be
stored in sufficient quantities to drive
and navigate an air machine
'I venture to make the prophecy
that just as soon as fuel which is
light in body and which does not re-
quire g large receptacle, and which
contains potential energy is discov-

has been thoroughly developed 1t will

years before the invention of the in

line as a fuel had been perfected.
