Main Street, Opposite Choteau House A FLYING MACHINE. Uncle Sam Fashions One That May Be a Success. The Washington correpondent of the Salt Lake Tribune furnishes that paper with the following: Uncle Sam has a flying machine. It is backed by all the scientific authority. The Smithsonian scien tists have given their best thought to it, and other scientific men who are inventors have given the bene fit of their practical experience. A year or so ago Prof. S. P. Langley, secretary of the Smiths onian, and Dr. Maxim, a gun in ventor, made public their deliber ate belief that the idea was prae ticable. A merry warfare follow ed, in which a great majority of scientists poked fun at the secre tary of the Smithsonian and the gun inventor, but soon the con troversy dropped out of the public mind. Now it is the sober truth that the United States government is taking a hand in the ages vexing problem of aerial navigation, and through the iamous scientist in its employ is secretly conducting an elaborate experiment to demon strate the principle of mechanical fijght by aeroplances. The model has cost a large sum of money. It is now done and about ready for fiual trial, but the secret has been well kept. . The machine is a working model, though it is not intended to carry passengers. In configuration the body portion closely simulates a mackerel. The backbone is a light, but rigid tube of what is technically known as “ title metal” one o f the many alloys of alumi num and steel. It is fifteen feet in length and five centimeters, or practically two inches m diame ter; to give rigidity to the skeleton longitudinal ribs of «tiff steel are provided, intersected at intervals by cross ribs of pure aluminum, the result being a lattice frame work of great strength. The engines which aie located in the portion of the framework corresponding to the head o f a fish are of the double oscillating type. They weigh 60 ounces and de velop one-horse power, the light est of that power ever made. There are four boilers of thinly hammered copper weighing a little more than seven pounds each and they occupy the middle portion of the fish. Instead of water volatile dydro-carbon is employed, the ex act nature of which is a matter of secrecy, but which vaporizes at a comparatively low temperature. The fuel used is refined gasoline and the extreme end of the tail oi the fish is utilized for a storage tank. W ithacapaity of one quarter with the smallest screws experi rnented with the engrines develop a speed of 1,700 revolutions a minute. With larger ones the speed in somewhat decreased. A thin jacket of asbestos covers the upper portion of the body of the fish. The wings consist of frames of tubular aluminum steel covered with China silk. The front one is forty-two inches wide in the widest part and has an extreme length of forty feet from tip to tip. The rear one is somewhat smaller. Both aeroplanes are designated to be adjustable with reference to the angle they present to the air. A tubular mast extends upwardly and downwardly through the mid die of the craft, and from its ex tremities run stays of aluminum wire to the tips of the aeroplanes and the ends of the tubular back bone, and by this trussing arrange ment the whole structure is ren dered exceeding stiff. The inten tion is to employ a tug to tow the experimental party to a creek about forty-five miles down the Potomac, where experiments may be conducted without fear of in terruption. Saved by a Quick Hair-Cut. The usefulness of carrying a sharp jack-knife was shown the other day in a Lewiston Mill when one of the young women’s hair came tumbling down as she pass ed a heavy piece of machinery and the ends oi it caught in some slowly revolving cogwheels. The girl screamed but did not have the presence of mind to break away at once before more strands of hair were caught and dragged in. She stood there holding out her arms and screaming, while her head was drawn nearer and near er to the fatal wheels. Then up came a man with a sharp jack knife. He compassed the hair of the girl within his left hand and held it firmly as he might a rope, and with the other hand severed her hair close to the wheels.— Lewiston Journal. Cooling H is Fever. “ Hello, Bingley, how did the doctor succeed in breaking np your fever?” Bingley—Oh, easy enough; he presented his bill and a coolness at once sprang up between us.

Should our population increase as rapidly during the coming hun dred years as in the pasc 50, it will be not less than 400,000,000. I am. however, inclined to think it will not have the same induce ments to offer to immigrants. When the price of land goes up, as it is bound to do, and its ac quisition required to undertake farming, except on the smallest scale, and truck farms near cities bring a high rent and call for the greatest intelligence as well as in dustry on the part of the farmer —one of the chief inducements to foreigners seeking our shores, namely the acquisition of farms of their own, will disappear. At the same time the liberal tendencies of all civilized countries, even un der monarchical governments, will lessen the number of those who leave the older countries for the sake of greater political freedom. Immigration to the United States will consist more and more of a few comparatively well-to-do per sons seeking opportunities for the profitable investment of a 'small capital, and who, possessing seme education and training in the art of self government, readily amal gamate with our own people, or of the poorer classes well content to serves for a time in the ranks of labor, provided the rate of wage» is high enough to reward their frugality with moderate saving«.— J. M. Rusk in American Review. Sure Enough. The Philadelphia Press tells a good story of General Sheiuian’« son Thomas, now known as Father Sherman. In the company of a detachment of soldiers he wa* crossing the pontoon bridge over the Potomac, when the armies were on their way to Washington for their great review in 1805. The boy was then about eight years old. One of the men, to make a talk, asked him if he ex pected to grow up as smart a man as his father. “ No, sir,” answered the boy, with surprising promptness. “ Why not?” was the next ques tion. “ Well,” said Thomas, without hesitation, “ there are plenty of other men who have grown up, and why aint they as smart as my father?’ ’ Ripans Tabules purify the blood.
