Bell, not content with giving the world

set out In the ripe

to enable the deaf to heur, those two
discoveries must yield preference to

men how to keep his own counsel.
With the spirit of a true scientist he
has been experimenting at his north
ern summer home with kites of differ
ent plan and shape untH lie has nt last
discovered n form which he Isconfklent
will work. The striking thing about it
is that starting out with the orilinnry
form of n boy's toy kite composed' of
two cross bars and experimenting suc
cessively with box kites and oriental
devices be has, through mathematical
calculations as to lifting and motive
power nnd stability, hit upon a device
which exactly resembles theoutspreud
wings of a bird. This kite, with Ita
four triangular sides in the shape of
0 tetrahedron, he finds can be com
bined almost indefinitely with khs of
similar shape and size until together
they form a mammoth kite, the weight
of which in relation to the wing sur
face is such that one of them is capa
ble of moving through the aiT in a
breeze no stronger than is needed for
a boy's toy. Such a flying machine
Prof. Bell believe can carry sufficient
motive power together with human
freight without weighing Itself down.
He believes that under the guidance of
a helm it can be made to rise and glide
and gently fall without regard to the
direction of the wind providing a
means of rapid transit swifter than a
railroad or steamboat, and more se

He has weathered one little dip

to use the prefix "Sir," which she be
stowed upon him, nnd so he is en
tered in the diplomatic list. Some of
', the other diplomats objected on the
ground thnt this was not according
to precedent, as "Sir" wns not a

"Tom" Walsh, as he is commonly
called, is an unspoiled child of genius.
With all his mil

him in a way which
might well turn

affected nnd genu
ine as he was in
the old days when
he was sweating

"came easy," that is not true. He
worked for it n hard as any other day
laborer for that is how he started
and he figured as closely to accumulate
his pile as the thriftiest storekeeper
who ever sold supplies to the miners.
He labored along with grim determina
tion for years before the luck enme,
and he earned every cent he owus. Now
thnt he has his millions he menns to
enjoy them in his own way and there
are plenty of people with higher fam
ily connections nnd lower bank ac
counts who are quite willing that he
should.
It is only three or four years since
he first came to Washington, and in
that time he has managed through
hear good nat ure to win his wuy Into
the very best circle, so that now the
Walshes run have the pick of anything
that is going socially. He shows good
business sense also by Investing heavrly
in Washington real estate, neis build
ing a business skyscraper and is at
work on the plans for a great hotel, be
sides the fine house which has risen
out on Massachusetts avenue.
But with all his interests, he is never
too busy to administer an Irish "jolly"
to a posing friend. The story is that
Walsh's first big find, "The Last
Chance," came to him through a dream
thnt he dreamt one night of striking
gold in a certain spot and next day he
went there and struck it. Walsh denies
this.

J. Tierpont Morgan is planning to
establish in Washington a national
111 use urn of nrt be
side which none of
the existing art
galleries either of
the capital or the
metropolis will be
"in it,"
For years Mr.
Morgan has been
collecting paint
ings, bric-a-brio
and antiques from
every quarter of
the world. He has
had his agents and
J. P. Morean. ex port sill all sorts
of strange places and he has finally
gathered everything he has bought in
one big collect ion in L,onlon mere to
await the time when he can bring the
whole lot to the United Slates and d'
vote it to the service of the public.
The obstacle in the way just now is
the high duty on work of nrt, the
owners of which nre expected by the
DJngley tnrrft' to pay handsomely for
the privilege of bringing their luxuries
into the United States. If he should
bring his whole collection in now und
pay duty on It the cost would bo nearly
doubled before the goixls were tin
packed in New York. Hut a way out
has been suggested by nn ingenious
body, who i anxious to see this museum
established in Washington. It is pro
posed to admit the priceless collection
under the defination "household ef
fects" without paying any duty at all
just as if it consisted of pokers,
tongs and kitchen utensils. It is tie'
clared that tble would be quhe within
the law, otherwise congress will be
asked next winter to puss a special net
suspending the tariff in this particular
case on the ground that such suspen
sion is for the public good.

CENSUS OF DIVORCE-
Chicago Leads, aad has Double Ihe Record
of the Metropolis.
The census figures show a total of
51,538 divorced persons in the United
States. This includes only those who
have remained so. The number of
divorces, of course is many times
greater, for an immense majority who
break away from marriages through
the divorce couits remarry very soon
afterward. As expected, the women
are in a large majority, being 32,203
to 18,384 men, according to tha New
Orleans limes-Democrat. This is
explained by the fact that women,
when they are freed from the bonds
of matrimony, are less likely to run
into them again than men. The
latter believe that a second venture
may bring them better luck that
they simply made a mistake in f ?ir
choice and try again. This rule
more divorced women than men pre
vails throughout the Union, Omaha
being one of the few exceptions.
Again, as expected, Chicaso leads,
with a total of 4,341 divorced resi
dents 1,873 men and 2,468 women.
This is twice as many as New York,
which is second on the lis, and nearly
three times as many as Philadelphia.
Proportionately, however, San Fran
cisco is worse, having 1,700 divorced
persons. If their relative population
be considered, this is eight times as
bad as New York. Other cities with
