WE WILL SURELY FLY

AND WITHIN TEN YEARS AERIAL
MACHINES WILL BE COMMON.

Mr. Edison Says So, and Gives His Theo-
ries. From Seventy-five to One Hun-
dred Miles an Hour the Speed, and Gun-
Cotton the Motive Powor.

Thomas A. Edison says that within
ten years aerial navigation will be an
acComplished fact, and that there is
nothing to preventus traveling through
the air just above the treetops at a
speed ranging from seventy-five to one
hundred miles an hour.

He thinks that a form of low-explo-

 

. Sive gun-cotton will supply the motive

power. Mr. Edison is confident that he
could invent a practical aerial machine
if he was not engrossed with other
matters at the present time.

He has accomplished so many wonder.
ful things which could not be believed

. until they were seen in practical opera-

tion that the public is willing to be.
lieve that he can do anything, no mat-
ter how startling the proposition.

Mr. Edison, forever experimenting,
has devoted some time to the problem
of aerial navigation. He has studied
the matter carefully, so that what he
has to say on the subjectis not the mere
haphazard guessing of the uninformed
man.

“So many minds are working on the
problem now, he said. “that the time
must be short when so me one will strike
the right principle. After that it will
be plain sailing.”

“What is the right principle to your
way of thinking?” he was asked.

”It is hard to say what is the right
principle,” answered the wizard. “The
machine, whatever form it takes, will

have to rise by its own power and not

by balloon power in any form. Any
method employing gas for flotation is
not practical. The whole problem will
be solved when we get one horse power
for every five pounds in weight of the
flying machine.

“You know,” he said, a reminiscent
smile lighting up his features, “that I
made a lot of experiments along that
line once. Yes, I put a machine on a
pair of finely adjusted scales. There
were fans and a motor and all that sort
of thing attached. I weighed the whole
outfit and then applied the motive pow-
er to the fans , and other contrivances,
and by watching the scales ascertained
just how much those fans would lift
with a certain number of revolutions.
That was fun.” ,

“Do you think the motive power for
the flying machine will be electricity?”
Mr. Edison was asked.

“N—o,” answered the wizard, slowly.
“I rather think that gun- cotton or some
chemical that makes its own gas will
furnish the motive power. The gun-
cotten employed will not be of the high
explosive quality, of course, but rather
in the nature of celluloid gun-cotton. I
took some stock-ticker paper here one
day and made it into a lower form of
gun- cotton and fed it between copper
rollers. It didn’t explode, but ignited
and flashed and the gas did the work,
I got three thousand strokes a minute
with them. There was a good deal of
heat generated that could not be util-
ized, but that could be overcome with-
out difficulty.”

”What speed could the aerial ma»
chine attain with perfect safety?“

“If the flotation i- all right a speed
of from seventy-five to one hundred
miles an hour will be nothing. The
friction of the air will be a very small
matter. The speed will depend alto-
gether on the amount of air friction and
power employed. The flotation must be
secured without the use of gas. It
must be complete mechanical flotation,
otherwise the flying machine will be at
the mercy of the wind.

“It is the displacement of water
which makes so much power necessary
in vessels. If we can get the same
grip on the air that we can on water,
friction and the like will be but trifles,
because we will not be doing any work
against gravity. You know if we push
anything along a horizontal line where
there is no gravity, only a small amount
of power is required. It is on the
grades that great power is required in
locomotives to haul trains. On the
levels only a small amount of pOWer
is necessary.

“Horizontal propulsion will be the
method in the successful aerial ma-
chine. The flotation is the problem to
be solved. If a machine is invented
that will lift itself and two or three
hundred poundsbesides to a distance of
fifty feet in the air and stay there, then
the whole matter is solved and becomes

simply a question of details for-

draughtsmen. ”

“And how soon do you think this will
be accomplished?"

“Within ten years,” said Mr. Edison,
promptly.

IFEATS OF THE "ANCIENT s."

 

Boston’s Heroes Conquer Every Solid
and Liquid Peril.

YWhen Boston’s crack military co ‘
pany went over to England. this int -
esting account of some of their doi
was cabled to American newspapers,

More than one puzzled but well nu“
ing Englishman, after encountering
wonderful corps of soldiers from Res
and reading the descriptions of the 2.
litical typhoon at Chicago, has sou, -
out friends in the American colony he:
and begged» them to explain the:
strange products of the gr eat Wester
Republic.

Not that the Ancient anc Honour).
Artillery Company need any expi'iu-s
tion. They have shone with presix :.
and undiminished eifulgence since th-
set foot, in friendly but armed invasion
upon British soil. Not a man among
them has faltered in the face of the al-
most unheard of tests which hourly
have been put upon them.

Every American was proud of them,
and every .Euglishman looked on in
wonder this morning when they rallied
in full ranks outside their Hotel Cecil
barracks. Most of their entertainers
of the past few days were undone, limp
pale and exhausted, after the week’s
terrific engagements. But the Ameri-
can veterans lined up in serried ranks
both taller and broader than when they
arrived.

Their new helmets had shrunk so that
they failed to come down low on thei.
foreheads, as a week ago, and every
sword belt had been loosened to the last
emergency notch. But they were still
the same noble corps which sailed out
of Boston harbor a fortnight ago. They
were still undaunted, invincible, incom-
parable among the wearers of martial
uniforms in these days of military su-
premacy.

Only one thing rankles in any Ancient
breast, and that is one of the Hon.
Chauncey Depew’s jokes, which some
members of the corps fear their enter.
tainers may take seriously. Mr. De-
pew explained in his speech at the
King’s Hall banquet that there were
three kinds of military bodies, the reg
ular army, which fights, the National

' ENORMOUS WEALTH IN BEER.

8300,0co,'ooo Are Invested in the Brow-
' in g Business in America.

" Few people are aware of the wealth
or magnitude of operations of the United
States Brewers’ Association. The capi—
tal of the members is estimated at 8165,:
788,903. That it takes a small army of
workmen to get out the product of hops
and malt for thirsty Americans is
shown by the fact thatithe brewers have
in their employ 35,000 men.

The most closely united, powerful and
wealthy trade society in America is the
United States Brewers’ Association.
Within the control of the membership
of this association there is at least the
sum of three hundred millions of dol-
lars. which is practically united in one
immense capital for the growth, ad-
vancement and protection of the brew-
ing interests of the country.

The thousand members of the associ-
ation, of which Leo Ebert, oi Ironton,
0., is now the President, are from every
State and Territory in the Union. And
as the work of the association shows,
each of the seven hundred of those who
are active in its alfairs is alert to the in-
terests of the trade. in close touch with
the general and political sentiment of
his own State, and ready to devote his
individual efiorts, influence and wealth
to the purposes of the society.

Out of this fact grows the wonderful
power that the brewing interest has
wielded in politics, legislation and in
control of great transportation compan-
res.

Mr. Gallus Thomann, manager of the
literary bureau of the association, who
is the best possible authority, fixes the
amount of capital invested in the busi-
ness in this country at $165,788,903.
This is made up from $143,195,911 in-
vested in breweries and $22,592,992 in
malt houses. These figures are sup-
ported by the internal revenue reports,
which, unfortunately, are usually too
far behind date to be reliable.

When to these figures are added the
other property of the brewers in real
estate, stocks and chattel mortgages,
received by‘ thousands from their im-
pecunious customers, the sum of three

 

hundreds of millions of dollars is con-

Thackeray ‘3 Opinion.

"The little ills of life,” says Thacker-
ay, “are the hardest to bear. What
would the possession of a hundred thou-
sand a year, or fame or applause, avail
to a gentleman who was allowed to en-
joy them only with the condition of
wearing a shoe with a couple of nails in-
side it? All happiness would disappear
and plunge into that shoe; all life would
rankle around those nails.” And as lit-
tle things have the power to annoy,
they have also the power to comfort and
help.

One day a visitor to the school, find
ing young Sydney Smith during play
hours absorbed in the study of Virgil,
gave him a shilling, and with it a few
words of sympathy and praise.

“Clever boy, clever boy 1” exclaimed
the stranger. “That is the way to con-
quer the world.” " U--.

Such unlooked for encouragement
broke like a gleam of sunshine across
the dreary and troubled life of the neg-
lected boy, and roused within him a ca-
pable heart the laudable ambition for
distinction.

Sydney Smith never forgot that man,
and to the end of his days praised his
deed. The stranger went his way little
dreaming of the good his pleasant words
had accomplished, while the lad he had
cheered soon afterwards became prefect
of the school.

Washington’s Embarrassment.

“But Washington took pains to suc-
ceed,” says a writer in Harper’s Maga-
zine, in telling of George Washington’s
home life in Virginia. He had a great
zest for business. No details escaped
him when once he was in the swing of
the work. He was not many years in
learning how to make the best tobacco
in Virginia, and to get it recognized as
such in England.

Six months before Washington’s mar-
riage he had been chosen a member of
the House of Burgesses for Frederick
County, the county which had been the
scene of adventure in the old days of
surveying in the wilderness, and in
which ever since Braddock’s fatal route
he had maintained his headquarters,
striving to keep the border against the
savages.

The young soldier was unused to as-
semblies, and suffered a keen emba’rass-
ment to find himself for a space too
conspicuous in the novel parliamentary
scene. He had hardly taken his seat
when the gracious’ and stately Robin-
son, Speaker of the House and Treasurer
of the Colony these twenty years, rose
to the bidding of the Burgesses, to
thank him for the services of which all
were speaking.

This sudden praise, spoken with gen-
erous warmth there in a public place,
was more than Washington knew how
to meet. He got to his feet when Mr.
Speaker was done, but he could utter
not a syllable. He stood there, instead
hot .with blushes, stammering all a-
tremble from head to foot.

"Sit down, Mr. Washington,” cried
the Speaker. “Your modesty is equal
to ,your valor, and that surpasses the
the power of any language that I pos-
seas.”

The Gas Meter.
“Everything is union and eight hour

in this town,” said the resident labor'

man, “from the street railroads to the
gas works.”

“I‘ll bet, though,” said the visitor,
“that the meters are working overtime
same as usual.” , .

And the resident had to give in.—-In-

HE WAS THE “BUFFER.”

Sang Froid of a Typical English Sentry
on Duty.

A certain popular general takes great

delight in talking to young soldiers, es-

One day a Lancashlro recruit was post

red as sentry on the general’s quarters.
One of the servants gave him something
to eat. A moment later, a short, elderly
man, attired in a tweed suit and guitars,
with his billycock tilted over his eyes
came- up.

“What dost ta want heer?’ said the
sentry.

“Oh, I belong here,” said the stranger.
“And what are you doing, eating on
sentry?"

“N aw, I’m not. If the. had been two
minutes later I would have been fair on
to job the knaws.”

“What have you got—Bread and
ham?”

“N aw; guess agin.”

“Bread and Beef?”

“Naw, it’s not; guess agin," said the
sentry.

“Well, then it’s bread and mutton.”

“Ehl that’s reet. Wull tha ha a
bite?” ‘

“Thanks, no,” said the stranger, “but
as you don’t appear to know me, try
and guess who I am.’

“Eh! that’s reet.

“You’re wrong; try again.”

“Well, the moight be general’s but-

a “N 0; but you are getting nearer.”

“Ehl thow moight be th’owd buffer
hisself.”

“Right,” said the stranger.
the old buffer himself.”

“Eh! gasped the sentry, shaking
violently hnd holding out the food.
“Howd this while I gie thee a chuck
up (Present arms).”

The general turned away to hide a.
smile he.could not'suppress at the sentry’s
confusion. A” few day’s later, at his
inspection, the general said he had met
men at difi'erent times and places who
failed' to recognize him, and hoped it
would not occur in the future. Our

severely punished, was heard to say:

A TRIBUTE TO KATE FIELD.
Touching Incident Showing the Respect
of Colored Americans.

Shortly after the announcement of
Miss Field’s death a touching incident
occurred which showed the place her
name holds among the comm on people
of her country.

Two American negroes, laborers in
Honolulu, came to Dr. McGraw’s resi-
dence and oifered to assist in any way
possible in caring for the remains. They
stated that they had no money, they
could not buy floral tributes, but Miss
Field had always been a friend of the
negro and had done what she could to
improve the condition of the race in
the Southern States. They would like
to do something as a mark of apprecia-
tion and respect.

As kind hands had dgne all that could
be done at that time Dr. McGraw thank-
ed them and gave assurance that their
kindness would not be forgotten. Dur-
ing the noon hour before the funeral on
Wednesday one of them went to Dr.
McGraw’s house in his working clothes
and asked if he might have a last look

at the earthly remains of the woman
who had done so much for his race.
Although tie casket had been closed
and sealed, the doctor remembered his
promise and granted the request.—

A certain New Yorker engaged a r

to coach him in regard to certain cred-

“Now,” said he to his servant, “if a
man calls for me today you tell him I

“Yis, sor,” replied Pat.

Fearing a misunderstanding in some
way, he again said:

“Now, Pat, what will you tell the
man who calls?”

“Till him I am not at home.”

.“No, no, blockhead ; tell him that I.
myself, am not at home.”

“All right, ear.”

P-

Granted the Privilege to Yawn.

A well dressed young lady was stand-
ing at the back of the seats in the la-
dies’ gallery at the House of Commons,
surveying the scene, when the door-
keeper bustled up to her and told her in
a whisper that it was “against the rules
to stand.”

So she sat down. Listening to one of
the members she nearly dropped oif to
sleep, and in her abstraction she dropped
a book on the floor. - '

Back came the doorkeeper with an-
other piece of information. She “must
not drop things; it disturbed the mem-
bers.” *

Half a dozen men looked up to see if
an anarchist had gotten into the gal-
leries, and the girl at the back of her
giggled.

and began to read; 'Again the door-
keeper: '_

- “You ain’t allowed to read in this
here gallery, ma’am; it’s against th
rules.”

She sat for a moment, wrath in every
feature; glaring down at the head:

Just as the doorkeeper sat down she
turned and beckoned him vigorously.
He came clumping down, and as be
bent over her she asked him in a tone
that startled everyone:

“May I yawn?”

The laugh that rippled round was
not caused by the remarks of the mem-
ber for X—, and the young lady was
not again molested. —Answers.

7‘ Nuns Who Never See a Man.

The Via Merulana Convent in Rome,
will remain in the. possession of the
nuns until the death of the last ofthem,
when the property will go the .city.
The sixteen remaining Franciscan nuns
who are called the Sepulte Vive, are
still in the old monastery, where they
once received a visit from the Princess
of Wales. These nuns, some of them
ladies of noble families, observe a very
strict rule. Once entering the convent
they never leave it alive. They never
see men, not even the priest who says
mass in the chapel. The altar is screened
ed, and they can just see the elevation
of the Host. Through a small aperture
they receive holy communion. Iron
gratings and a linen veil guard the
small openings through which they
make their confessions. They never
undress for repose, but spend half the
night in prayer, and keep, except in ex-
treme cases of illness, a perpetual ab-
stinence from meat. They make al-
most everything they use, even to shoes
and medicines. If a parent of one of
these nuns dies the announcement is
not made to the nun herself, but in gen-
eral terms it is said that one of them
has lost by death a father or . a mother,
as the case may be.—Boston Herald.

Domestic Bepartee.

D., ”I have not accused you.”—Detroit
