WINGLESS FLYING MACHINE
Device Invented by n Chlenuo Man
Han \«ivel Features.
A Chlcagonn, Peter Mora 11, has in
vented a new style of flying machine —
one without wings. But, according to
the inventor's explanation, it embraces
all the principles of wing navigation.
Either steam or electricty can b» used
as its motor power. The box contain

electric batteries is at the bottom of
the machine. Above it is the basket
or car for the passenger. Two elevat
ing wheels crown the device, and the
propelling wheel is attached to the
center tube. The wheels are of the fan
or windmill pattern. Just above the
point where the propelling wheel is at
tached to the center tube a rudder
blade is attached.
Two elevator wheels revolve in oppo
site directions and serve to overcome
the whirling motion. The propelling
wheel and the rudder are of equal
weight, one working in front and the
other behind the machine, causing the
machine to proceed steadily through
the air. The ascent and descent is
controlled by adjusting the rate of
speed of the elevating wheels. The
rudder is operated by a hand lever ex
tending into the passenger car and en
ables the guiding of the course of the
machine. The propelling wheel directs
the forward motion of the machine.
The elevating and the propelling
wheels act independently of each other
and enable the raising of the machine
without any forward motion. The ele
vating wheels raise the machine to the
desired height, when the propeller can
be putin motion to start it forward.
Application of the principle of wing
navigation in the machine is in the
construction of its wheels. Every fan
In the wheels is a wing. The speed in
movement which it can attain is said
by the Inventor to far exceed the power
of tho flying animal or human power.
A CADET'S INVENTION.
He Make* n Reverninic Genr For tlie
Btcum Turbine,
An Important Invention has recently
been made by I'. It. Belchers, a cabet
of the Virginia Polytechnic institute at
Blacksburg, Ya. It is the long sought
reversing gear on the steam turbine.
Mr. Belchers worked so quietly that
he patented his invention in every
country In Europe and in the United
States before any one knew anything
about it. In fact, he holds patentß for
the "reverse gear on the steam turbine"
In Germany, Italy, France, Belgium,
Spain, Australia, Kussia, England and
the United States.
The importance of the invention is
apparent to any one who will give it a
glance. For example, the Turbinia, the
second fastest boat afloat, will require
Just three turbines In her hold instead
of the five formerly used there. Three
were required to drive the craft for
ward and two to reverse it. As the re
verse gear will do away with the two
reversing turbines, there will be a
chance for increased speed and a sav
ing of space in the ship's narrow little
hold.
To Utilize Mexican Pent.
A party of Philadelphia capitalists
will start a system in Mexico for the
employment of peat In tin generation
of heat and power. William A. Stern
of Philadelphia, who has been conduct

uct, has demonstrated that peat is
adaptable for the generation of power
with a commercial efficiency of over
00 per cent of that of the best bitumi
nous coal.

Mr. John Dillenius of Boston has per

tion in Canada.
Her people, numbering less than 1,000

sidered the most beautiful of her tribe.

Illtliy'a Accident*.
In a book upon "baby's accidents" we
find some useful notes on first aid in
cases of burns and scalds, bruises, dislo
cations, cuts, etc. Burns and scalds, it
seems, are such common accidents amoug
children, especially among the poorer
classes, that about 3,000 lives are lost ev
ery year from these causes.
"Should a child's clothes catch fire
smother with anything handy," says Mrs.
Ilewer —"your own dress if nothing bet
ter offers. Never wait and call for help,
and never carry the child elsewhere till
every particle of flame has been extin
guished. Scalds and burns produce nu
alarming amount of shock and prostra
tion, especially if the surface involved be
large. While waiting for a doctor cover
up the affected part with soft rags dipped
in sweet oil and give the child some
brandy."
We are further told that in the case of
slight scalds or scorches a mixture of
equal parts of collodion and castor oil
well mixed together and applied with a
soft paint brush will allay the pain at
once. A solution of bicarbonate of soda
made as strong as possible and applied
with soft rags will also quickly give re
lief.
If the part be only scorched, fine flour
or whiting may bo dusted on and covered
with cotton wool. If, however, the skin
be really burned, an oily or greasy applica
tion will be the best. An ointment of
vaseline nnd eucalyptus oil or one of bo
racic acid and lard or oil and limewater
spreail on strips of lint or linen should
be applied to the affected part, covered
by a layer of cottou wool and kept iu po
sition by bandages.
As a remedy for bruises Mrs. Ilewer
advocates a little spirit lotion of eau de
cologne and a plentiful supply of grease
to lessen the discoloration.
Her advice on concussion should be laid
to hdart by those who have the care of
children. "In case of concussion," she
says,"even if slight, put the child to bed,
darken the room and keep everything
quiet. Feed the child very lightly and, if
necessary, give a little castor oil. Quiet
nnd sleep are what the child needs. It is
impossible to predict with certainty how
such a case may end, and a doctor should
always be called in."
Children often wound themselves with
knives and scissors. Mrs. Hewer's ad
vico in such cases is to apply a small
piece of lint to the wound and keep it on
until healing has set in."ln the case of
deep wounds where the bleeding will not
stop put on a piece of liut and bind up
very tightly with a long strip of rag, used
as a bandage, and the bleeding will prob
ably not recur. But the bandage should
be loosened in a few hours, or the part
may mortify from the pressure employ
ed."
Womtn'a 111 I'ned Eyen.
Tho other day a woman, calling for ad
vice concerning her failing eyesight at
the office of an oculist, took up u looking
glass about the size of a half dollar and
began to twist her neck about in her ef
forts to see the back of her head in the
large mirror behind her. The eye spe
cialist watched her with lowering brows.
"It's a wonder to me," he said, "that
half the women in the land are not cross
eyed. The contortions to which they sub
ject the muscles of the eyes in their ef
forts to see themselves ns others see them
nre something awful.
"If an acrobat on the stage should per
form with his limbs the feats that the
average woman does with her eyes day

Card* DartnK IIlne*».
When the fact of the illness of a friend
or acquaintance becomes known, those on
calli ig terms feel it incumbent upon them
ton ake personal inquiries respecting the
condition of the invalid. They therefore
lenv- cards without delay with "To in
quire" written upon them. Married la
dies leave one of their own cards and oc
casii nally one of their husbands' cards,
but not unless an invalid is a personal
friei d of the husbands as well as of the
wiv< siu question. In the case of a grave
illne is lasting some weeks it is usual to
leavr cards, say, twice during its course,
as regards acquaintances; intimate friends
won d naturally call more frequently.
Whin the invalid is a daughter of the
lady called upon, married ladies only
leave their own cards, and not their bus
bam s' cards.
Crrds of inquiry during illness should
be 1 ft in person, that inquiries may be
mada on the occasion of so doing; also
they could be sent by a servant instructed
tom ike inquiries. But these cards should
not be sent by post, as they would fail of
their purpose in that case, the object be
ing to ascertain the progress of an invalid
toward recovery. On the other hand,
cards of sympathy may be sent by post
if distance prevents their being left in
person or by a servant, as the object is to
convey sympathy, and not to make inqui
ries.
How the above cards should be ac
knowledged is the other side of the sub
ject. In former days inquiries received
during illness were responded to by cull
ing on the inquirer when sufficiently re
covered to do so. But as change of air is
generally prescribed to complete conva
lescence, whatever the nature of an ill
ness may have been, it is considered pref
erable not to postpone acknowledgments
until so distant a date. Therefore, cards
of thanks for kind inquiries are left by a
member of an invalid's family or sent by
n sesvant as soon as the recovery is as
sured. "Many thanks for kind inquiries"
is written at the top of ladies' visiting
cards. The cards of the husbands are
not sent on these occasions.
Concerning the acknowledgment of
cards of sympathy and condolence and
also letters of the same, it is usual to do
this as soon after a funeral has taken
place as possible.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Too Good to Throw Away.
Every woman when making half yearly
Inspection of her closets and trunks has
probably experienced the great difficulty
of deciding what to keep and what to
give or throw away as useless. Perhaps
there is no department of housekeeping
in which the natural depravity of inani
mate objects is more exemplified than in
such selections. Some garment or piece
of material has been kept year after year
just because it is "too good to throw
away." It has been taken from the town
house to the country house and back
again from the country house to the town
house, and the expected need for it h(js
never occurred, says the New York Trib
une. Finally the owner is quite tired out
waiting until it may be useful and gives
it away with a bundle of old clothes;
whereupon, of course, the long looked for
occasion arrives when its need is almost
imperative and something must be bought
to fill a necessity for which the missing
object would have been "just the thing."
Many women get aueerly attached to
their old clothes, to the various rich ma
terials that have composed their dinner
gowns and other handsome toilets. They
cannot bear to treat with disrespect ma
terial that has been very costly, and the
consequence is they accumulate a regular
storehouse during years of prosperous
living.
"Mary is never happy without her
rags," laughed the husband of one of
these thrifty dames. "She carts trunks
around with her filled with old clothes,
and yet she is forever getting new ones.
We actually had to build an addition to
our house to accommodate them."
"Nonsense, James," interpolated his wife
indignantly. "You know very well that
you yourself suggested that we should
copy that lovely wardrobe room in one of
Violet le Due's interiors of an old French
chateau. But I do love my things," she
confessed; "my laces, my brocades and my
velvets. All are quite dear to me, and 1
do not mean to have them divided up un
til I am dead."
They Work For Uncle Sam.
Male clerks in government offices in
Washington are disappearing. More than
one-third of the 7,037 clerks hired by
Uncle Sam at his business headquarters
are women.
It is estimated that 40 per cent of the
clerkships which fall vacant in Washing
ton are tilled by women; if the ratio of
Increase continues for two generations,
the male employee will disappear except
In the higher places.
Women were first permitted to become
employees in government offices in 1802,
when Secretary of the Treasury Salmon
P. Chase appointed six women clerks.
At first they drew only half the wages
paid to men, the government figuring that
It took two women to do the work of one
IUHB.
But In the dead letter office, alter wom
en were employed in that department, it
was found that one woman could iu one
day'* work open, examine and return 25U
letters, when theretofore one man had
opened and returned only 120. Thus wo
man established a new standard of work,
and it bustled the men to keep up, and
they've been hustling better ever since.
In the early days many bills were in
troduced in congress discriminating
against women employees, but they re
ceived little support. Congress did once
pass a bill fixing the maximum salary for
female clerks at SOOO p«r annum. This
was in force for several years, but in
1870 an amendment was passed which
removed the discrimination.

All the small perplexities and anxieties

Iluiv to Make Cold Creama.
In preparing creams or lotions it must
be remembered that the formula should
be followed exactly if certain results
are expected.
Fats or oils should be melted over a
l.ivv fire by tlfe least possible heat and
in a double boiler preferably. The meth
od as given of adding tlie other ingre
dients should be closely adhered to. Tinc
tures and extracts are invariably added
at the last, when the mixture has slight
ly cooled, and drop by drop or at least
very slowly.
Glycerin properly used is an invalua
ble cosmetic. It whitens, softens and dis
solves coloring matter when carefully
combined with other agents, such as
rose, elder flower or orange water. It is
very injurious used in concentrated form,
as it burns, parches and yellows the skin.
Fats are the basis of all cold creams.
Wax and spermaceti are often added to
give requisite firmness, but possess no in
trinsic value. They are inclined to clog
the pores. Perfumes, aside from being
agreeable additions, possess antiseptic
qualities and prevent the oils from being
rancid.—Stella Stuart in Ledger Month

All the Difference.
The difference between French and
American toilets does not lie in the
shape or the material of the dress as
much as in the way it is worn. A well
dressed Parisian does not trouble about
ordering something absolutely new. Nov
elty is not her object. She seeks of
course the latest make in skirts and bo
leros, but she does not give so much at
tention to the inedlt. Her great aim
is that the silhouette should be perfect,
and there is no surer test of good dress
ing than to judge the effect of a figure
at a distance. The line, what the French
call la ligne, must first be studied. The
details of revers, cuffs and cravats then
follow. We, as a rule, make the mis
take of giving too much attention to de
tail and not sufficient thought to the
broad lines. If we would look at our
selves through a looking glass at some
distance off and without the preconceiv
ed idea that we were to see our own re
flection, we should see faults that would
be very easy to correct, chiefly in the
length of our skirts in front and the way
our hats are placed upon our heads.
Mary nnd Martha.
Mrs. Fanny C. Hays, a missionary in
China, tells an amusing anecdote in The
Century of a native woman's hospitality:
One afternoon's experience gave me an
excellent commentary on the story of
Mary and Martha. I was most warmly
welcomed by my hostess, who wished to
do something for iny refreshment, so she
decided she would poach me a couple of
eggs. In vain I protested that I had but
an hour before eaten my dinner; that I
had only a short time to stay with her
and could not visit her again, perhaps for
years; that to please me best she must sit
down beside me for a quiet talk. No;
she must show in her own way how much
she appreciated the visit, so she started a
fire iu her little range, which immediate
ly filled the room with smoke; she hustled
about and poached the eggs, amid the
loud advice and kindiy criticism of her
friends, who were too much distracted to
listen to niy remarks, and as I prepared
to eat one of the eggs, to please the poor
woman, a message came that the shentzu
was at the door, and I must leave at once.
The Virtue* of the Apple.
The apple, says Dr. (J. R. Searles, Is
such a common fruit that very few per
sons are familiar with its remarkably ef
ficacious medicinal properties. Every
body ought to know that the very best
thing they can do is to eat apples just
before retiring for the night. Persons un
initiated in the mysteries of the fruit are
liable to throw up their hands in horror
at the visions of dyspepsia which such
a suggestion may summon up, but no
harm can ever come to even a delicate
system by the eating of a couple of ripe
and juicy apples Just before the hour for
going to bed.—Ledger Monthly.
Mary Wilkin*' Way.
Mary Wilkins, the novelist, keeps three
stories going all the time and has a sep
arate typewriting machine for each story.
In response to the usual question put to
authors as to their working hours Miss
Wilkins says, with a touch of drollery:
"Yes, I have regular working hours.
They are in the morning. I never write
in them."
She confesses that she works best when
her publishers are urging her to send
more copy. Like many persons, she pro
crastinates and waits until the last min
ute and then falls to work in earnest.

REACHING THE LIMIT
POSSIBLE NEW STANDARD IN MEAS
URING EXTREME HEAT.
By the line of ftie Electric Pyrometei
I'hystclntM Confidently Kxpect to
lie Able to Accurately Record Soon
the Boilinic Point of Platinum.
For centuries the human eye has
been the constant gauge for determin
ing the highest degrees of heat. Any
person who has ever stood in a black
smith's shop iu childhood's days knows
how steel ranges through the various
colors as, for instance, black, dull red,
cherry red, yellow, white —up to the
melting point of bluish white. In blast
furnaces, in kilns of all kinds, from
baking brick to baking pottery, in glass
furnaces and through all the different
range of the arts and trades, the eye
was in the past the only available ther
mometer. Great loss frequently re
sulted from this primitive means of
telling heat, for every rise or fall of
temperature above or below certain
points might cost literally thousands of
dollars.
Scientists have lately come to the res
cue, notably Professor C. L. Norton of
the laboratory of physics at the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, in
Boston, who has made heat measure
ment a matter of exhaustive experi
ment.
The most exact and scientific method
of determining the temperature of fur
naces and retorts is by means of elec
tricity. The loop of a platinum wire or
the joined ends of two wires are placed
within range of the heat to be meas
ured, a current is established, and the
resistance it meets is recorded by a
galvanometer, the degree of heat being
proportionate with the degree of elec
trical resistance. A device of this sort
Is called a pyrometer, a name which ap
plies to any mechanical instrument for
measuring heat. By another kind of
pyrometer the effect of either heat or
cold on the electric current is detected
by a modified telephone called a ther
mophone. This is quite different from
the terinopbon, which is merely a tor
pedo which explodes after a period,
long or short, as the heat is more or
less intense.
While the electric pyrometers are the
more exact, much assistance is given
to the human eye by a visual pyrome
ter. With this instrument the fire in a
kiln, for example, Is observed through
a telescope and its temperature judged
with sufficient accuracy by its color as
seen through a polariscope or by its
brilliancy as compared to a standard
lamp.
There are regions of heat possible to
the electric furnace far above the pres
ent possibilities of exact measurement,
but physicists look forward to the day
when they can accurately record the
boiling point of platinum.

ren material by hand picking. At a
cobbing house the long flbered asbestus
is knocked off from the serpentine by
hand if the veins are more than three
quarters of an inch thick, but in the
smaller pieces this separation is made
by machinery. In this process the rock
is crushed nnd the useless pieces are
picked out by hand. Then the asbestus
bearftig fragments are pulverized, and
the fibrous material is separated from
the powdered rock by means of a blast
of air.
Bottled Tear Cnre.
A physician who has recently return
ed from Persia says that the natives
believe that human tears are a remedy
for certain chronic diseases. At every
funeral the bottling of mourners' tears
Is one of the chief features of the cere
mony. Each of the mourners Is pre
sented with a sponge with which to
mop his face and eyes, and after the
burial these sponges are presented to
the priest, who squeezes the tears into
bottles, which he keeps.
Valuable Alloy of Alnnilnlnm.
Magnalium is the name given to an
alloy of aluminium and magnesium in
vented by a continental scientist, and
the reports upon it are of the most en
couraging nature. It is lighter than
pure aluminium, It can be worked and
turned like brass or copper, and it Is
stronger than brass. It is stated that it
does not oxidize at all, fumes of ammo
nia and sulphuric acid not damaging it.
It can be turned, bored, drilled, milled,
filed, ground and polished easily.
A Wonder In Watchmaking
Among the treasures of a Swiss mu
seum, inserted in the top of an old fash
ioned pencil case, is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. It is only three-six
teenths of an inch in diameter, and its
little dial not only indicates hours,
minutes and seconds, but also the days
of the month. So perfectly formed is
this lllliputlan watch that it keeps ex
cellent time and is a marvelous piece of
mechanical workmanship.

The rushed man of affairs joioped

even a glance at the half dozen women
clinging desperately to the straps as
they were jerked this way and yank

affairs was concerned. It mattered !
nothing to him whether the woman in

clung to the strap over his head with
grim determination. She could have
stood there forever, and the man would
never have as much as turned a pity- :

"Well, my dear, are you tired to- j

affairs as they seated themselves at j
dinner.
"Oh, no, not especially."
"Well, I am tired—just tired out to- j
night."
"Keen oyerdoing it again, I suppose. ;
You must be more careful. Avoid all
unnecessary exertion, my dear, or we
will have a doctor's bill."
"I had such a trying experience to
