) 8 THE MIRACLE OF PROFESSOR LANGLEY, A Wonderful Man-Made Monster That Sears in Midair. Light Thrown on the Most Re- markable Mechanical Mys- tery of the Age. Description of an Eye-Witness Who ssw the Flying-Machine in Suc- cessful Operation, When the startling news was made pub- lic by Professors Bell and Langley that the latter’s flving machine did on the 6th | of May, 189, actually fly, everybody in | the world was excited to know the partic- | ular e two eminent scientists would | only say that their flying machine did fly, 5 and that the experiment was made near coquan. The reticence of the professors may | have been pardonable from their point of | view, but it was exceedingly exasperating to the world at large, and a correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch set out to locate the place and get a pen picture of the won- machine. | After various vicissitudes the secret | workshop of these modern magicians was discovered on an island in the Potomac | River, and is described as follows: Hid away in a secluded cove at the edge of the marsh, unsuspected until one came close to it, was the ‘‘ark,” in which i has been fondled a flying creature, which | will be of far greater significance to the | future of humanity than the dove which winged 1its way from the Ark of Noah. The “ark’ suggests a sort of boathouse. Upon an ordinary flatboat, or scow, a | cabin hds been built, almost as wide as | and two-thirds the length of the vessel. | Three windows in each side have strong | board shutters, which are closed and se- | curely fastened when the engineers are absent. So, also, at such times the heavy do r is secured with a big padlock. The interior is an unknown world to all | save the inventor and his assistants. Here some parts of the mysterious winged creature are made, and the whole is fitted together when an experimentistobe tried. Upon the top of the cabin is a curious framework that revolves on wheels like a | turntable. Upon this frame the aerodrome | is placed when ready for flight, and its | head is turnea toward that point from | b blows the most advantageous wind. ortion of the frame which works upon | s, or loose joi is then raised by | ze to lift the airship clear of all ob- let on, and slowly and | lev struction, steam is stately the monster bird rises in the air. | One who h; en the aer. irome in va- | rious stages of development gave to the writer a much more satisfactory account of the jatest performance than that made public by the inventor. As a neighbor to the island he has bad unsought opportu- nities to learn facts which he describes as follows: “This flying machine, as it is called, has | passed through many changes since I saw the early experiment, but it is changed less in form than in material, the last form, wh ave such astonishingly suc- cessful results, being by far the lightest in weight, while presenting a much larger surface in comparison to the weight. “The wings, or planes, are about four- teen feet from tip to tip, are of fine steel rolled almost as thin as paper, are guyed or stayed with fine wire and are some- what similar in shape to the outstretched wings of a bird. The engine and propel- ling wheels, which are so diminutive they look iike toys, are placed centrally under the wings, like the body of a bird, and serve a purpose similar to that of ballast in a marine vessel. Infact the aerodroms is but an air vessel possessing many of the characteristics of a sea-going vessel. Itis| both flying fowl and swimming fish. | | “T happened accidentally to be placed in | a position to witness the experiment of the | 6th of May. My heart jumped into my | mouth as the toy naphtha engine began to revolve its little wheels and vent 1ts | hiss like the whisper of a zephyr. Slowly | the great bird began to sail away. Grace- | fully as the eagle and with as sublimea confidence in itself as the eagle feels the strange creature rose higher and higher, choosing a circular course for some rea- son I cannot explain. The circle inciuded almost the area of the island and the highest flight was probably 150 feet. Twice 1t traversed this circular path, soaring more steadily than the frightened buz- | zards, which watched it from far away, | and then its motion was retarded by the lessening pressure of the steamer. Start- | ing slowly on its descent 1t swung once more around a segment of the circle, and gradually aud gently as a feather is watted | downward till it settled into the shal- low water. It had not sustained the least | injury. 1 ‘A second time the bird of steel was placed upon the framework from which it started. The tiny reservoir was filled with fluid, the steam began its little hiss, tne signai was given, the lever was moved, the wheeis began to revolve. The course | this time varied from the other, but the phenomena of flight were similar, the alti- tude reached being perhapsa little higher. The remarkable feature of the perform- ance was that after the steam was ex- hausted and the propellers ceased to move, there was no disturbance of the equanimity of the machine. Itsoutspread wings balanced perfectly, and its approach | to the water was on the line of a gently inclined plane.. The professors, mechanics and photographers who caught the bird in its flight were wild with delight at the wonderful success of the experiment.” *“What do you suppose will be the next move of Langley and Bell?'* “from what I overheard I am assured that they will ‘at once begin the construc- tion of a large machine, with at least a one-man carrying capacity, and a steam or electric motor with sufficient lasting power for a thorough test. The present machine, even with its spreaa of fourteen feet, may be called a mere toy, as it scarcely weighs more than thirty pounds. I shall be greatly surprised if within the next year we do not witness the spectacle of aerodromes in grand flight with full- grown men at the helm. The safety and practicability of the invention seem now s0 well demonstrated that I think of ap- plying for the honor of being the first en- gineler to take flight with, the big bird of steel.” The telephone ‘“‘information bureau’ will probably be a deyelopment of the near future. It will serve as a city direct- ory, almanac, railroad and steamboat time-tahle, hotel reporter, blue book, etc. PROFESSOR LANGLEY'S AERODROME POISED READY FOR FLIGHT ON ToP OF THE ARK THAT SERVES AS WORKSHOP, AND Is HIDDEN IN THE PoTOMAC MARSHES. FROM A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SEA SERPENT CAPTURED NEAR TACOMA. ' REMARKABLE SPEED OF A TIDAL WAVE. | Indications on This Coast of a Dis- turbance More Recent Than the Japan Disaster. | Pecu’iar Action of the Gauge at Sausa- lito—Pencil Registered What Could Not Be Seen. The tidal disturbances observed at Van- couver Island and at New River, in Men- docino County, within the past few days, indicate unerringty, according to the gen- tlemen locally connected witu the Coast and Geodetic Survey, that one or more earthquakes have taken place since the awiul wave that caused the loss ot 30,000 or more lives at Yesso. The exact date of the tidal disturbance at Vancouver Island is not known, so that there may be a ques- tion whether the manifestations there and at New River worked the same natural convulsion. The register attached to the tide gauge at Sausalito told of the Yesso calamity before many of the facts had been received by cable. But the extent of | the information traced on the maregram | at Sausalito, as it is called, was only that there had been an earthquake which had caused the ocean to undulate in an un- usual way. The observer at Sausalito re- ports that when the pencil attached to the tide register was recording the Japanese tidal wave he could not see anything un- usnal in the appearance of the water. Earthquake waves or those given rise by earthquakes are transmitted with such enormous speed that the Japan disaster was recorded at Sausalito about twelve hours after it occurred. There are valuable records in the office of the Coast and Geodetic Survey which show beyond question that a speed of six | miles a minute, or 360 miles an hour, is to be expected under such conditions. The overwhelming of Simoda, a town on the island of Niphon, appears to have been almost & complete parallel in physi- cal manifestations with the recent occur- rence at Yesso. On the 23d of December, 1854, a sharp earthquake shock was felt in Simoda and upon the shipping at9A. m. This was followed at quick intervals for half an hour. t 9:30 the sea was ob- served washing into the bay in one im- mense wave, thirty feet high, with awful velocity. In an instant the town of Simoda was overwhelmed and swept high from its foun- dations. This advance and recession of the water occurred many times. The Russian frigate Diana was burled about by the rising and falling or the waters, which varied from less than eight feet to more than forty feet. Captain H. A. Adams wrote of the Simoda disaster that the sea rose five fathoms above its usual height, “overflow- | ing the townand carrying houses and temples before it in its retreat. When it fel! it left but four feet of water in the harbor. Itrose and sank this way, five or six times, covering the shores of the bay with the wreck of boats, junks and build- ings. Only sixteen hounses were left stand- ing in the whole place. The entire coast of Japan seems to have sufferea.” That terrific happening was recorded by the tide register at San Francisco twelve hours and thirty-eight minutes Jater. The distance between Simoda and San Fran- cisco is 4527 nautical miles. The wave transmission varied, according to two estimates, from 358 miles per hour to 370 miles per hour or 6.2 miles per minute, which is about six times faster than the most speedy railroad train travels. The tide-gauge was established at Fort Point about 1852 and was removed to Sau- salito by Professor George Davidson in 1877. The first large earthquake wave re- corded on the sauge at this port was that of Simoda. The great convulsion at Kra- katoa, in the Strait of Sunda, which took place only a few years ago, was registered at the Sausalito tide-gauge, and the news that a great earthquake had occurred was made public by Professor Davidson weeks before the information was otherwise known. From calculations based on_the record made by the tide-gauge at Fort Point after the Simoda disaster of 1854 the Coast and Geodetic Survey estimated the average depth of the Pacific Ocean, and the accuracy of the estimate has been subse- quently demonstrated by deep-sea sound- ings. Itisan interesting fact, in view of the recent calamity at Yesso, that the loss of life by earthquake disturbances up to 1896 on the entire earth has been at-least | 13,000,000, COMBINED HEARSE AND CARRIAGE.

Seventeen Feet Long and Weighs One Hundred and Fifty- Four Pounds. Smooth Skin, With Spots Like Thcse of a Rattlesnake—Ferocious as a Tiger. The sea serpent has at last been taken alive in his native haunt, or rather from his native haunt, if this the placid waters of Puget Sound can be called the haunt of such an animal, where the majestic snow-clad Mount Tacoma towering as a sentinel gives a picture nowhere equaled on the North American continent. A porpoise finds his way into the sound from’the Pacific, and occasionally a whale is seen spouting, but the sea serpent was never thought of until two Tacoma fisher- men, R. E. McClean and W. J. Kennedy, while fishing for black bass about. two miles north of the Humi Humi River, which empties imnto Hoods Canal near this city, made the catch. They were along- side a ledge where the water drops off 100 to 150 feet deep, and were using minnows for bait, when their attention was attracted to a commotion in the net, and the water becoming agi- tated was followed immediately by the head of the monster appearing above the surface. This struck terror to the already frightened fishermen, who at once made for the shore, dragging it after them and hauling it up on the beach. The monster was as ferocious as a tiger, and bit and spapped the gaff stick in pieces, and when hauled on the beach rushed back over the sands with the 100 feet of line and swam out to sea as far as it could go. The reptile was seventeen feet long and as big around as a man’s body, and has every characteristic of the snake except the head, which is much like that of the pugnacious bulldog. The under jaw is heavy and covered with skin, the eyes are as lurgeas a man’s and as bright, and will follow the movements of a person as closely as the eyes of a cat follow a mouse, and without the animal ever moving its head. The general color of the serpent is darkish blue, with spots much like those of a rat- tlesnake, the spots fading out into lighter blue at the circumference. The skin is smooth like that of the snake. The mon- ster is finned much like the halibut, hav- ing a long dorsal, very thin, running down PHOTOGRAPH OF A TORNADO, TAKEN AT OkLAHOMA CITY May 14. the back, while underneath there is a sim- ilar fin, but only near the caudal extrem- ity. The animal’s juws are set with rows of sharp teeth, like those of a cat, and the great strength of the jaw enables it to sink its fangs to the base in a stick of wood. Immediately on its capture the animal was lariated near where captured, and the water was lashed into foam in its efforts to escape. McClean and Kennedy say they are positive it is the sea serpent which has so long worried the marine world, In the water, they say, the reptile looks larger than it really is, and from this fact lies much of the exaggeration from those who claim to have seen sea serpents. They say that such a monster as they have taken swimming alongside a rowboat with raised head would turn the oldest and bravest fisherman’s hair gray. It has not been fed any since its capture, and subsists on whateverit can find within the radius of the water within the rope’s length. The fishermen have been relieved of their burden by Gilbert Girard, the ac- tor, who happened to stop this way on his way East and who intends presenting the monster to the Smithsonian Institution. —_——— J. L. Kerr insists on the inferior value of boiled milk compared with uncooked as a food. The latter is largely composed of living cells, which are, he thinks, absorbed alive, and enter the circulation without change. This view.is supported by the work of Koplik, who showed that the un- absorbed nitrogen in the feces is much greater after a meal of cooked than after one of raw milk. Other writers, however, have found a more rapid incredse in weight in children fed on boiled or sterilized milk than in those fed on raw. HOW FAR AN THE EARTH BE PENETRATED? Proposition Made in France to Travel in a Straight Line. Colonel Hennebert Gives Inter- esting Facts Showing Its Impossibility. Man’s Limit of Ascension Appears Equal to the Depth He Can Penetrate. Under this title, Colonel Hennebert con- tributes to La Nature (Paris, May 23) a criticism of the proposition which, it seems, has been made in France with some show of seriousness, to travel from place to place in a straight line by tunneling be- neath the earth’s surface instead of follow- ing along that surface, which compels us at present to move in a curve. ‘ Such a tun- nel, although accurately straight, would be “down hill” for half its length and “up hill” for the remaining half, hence most of the distance oould be covered by means of gravity alone. Colonel Hennebert con- cludes that this project is impossible of realization, for reasons which will appear from the following extracts, translated from his article. After allusions to Jules Verne’s fantastic tale, “A Journey to the Center of the Earth,” he goes on to say: “This geographic romance is charming from one end to the other, but it is after all only a romance, and since peovle will persist in desiring to penetrate the mys- teries of the interior of our planet it is best to disabuse these curious adventurers. | The best means to dampen their ardor by means of a curative douche is to demon- strate to them mathematically the impos- sibility of a journey of this kind, an im- possibility that should havebeen revealed to them by their own intuition.”” Colonel Hennebert tells us that M. Col- lignon, a French geometer, has recently worked out mathematically the move- ment of a point on a chord of the terres- trial sphere; that 1s, practically, the mo- tion of a railway car, let us' say, on a rail- way laid 1n such a tunnel as we have sup- posed. As may be easily seen, it would move faster and faster to the middle of the tunnel and then slower and slower to the other end. This end would be reached if there were no resistance, but the friction of the wheels would stop the car at some point between the center of the tunneland the fartherend. Colonel Hennebert quotes M. Collignon’s conclusions as follows: “At a time when people are not afraid of long tunnels it would seem that there would be a great advantage in employing a means of locomotion in which gravity would do almost all the work, and which, by piercing the globe in straight lines, would establish rapid communication be- tween the most distant geographic points. The characteristic of this mode of trans- port would be that the traveler would always have to descend to reach his ob- jective point, and that the journeys would all take the same time, no matter what the distance might be.” Colonel Hennebert calculates this time (which is, of ¢ourse, done on the supposi- tion that there is no friction), and finds that it is 42 minutes 11 seconds, which is, he remarks, little enough for a trip from London to Melbourne, or from Paris to Timbuctu. However, it appears that an important pracgical consideration has been hitherto overlooked. Says Colonel Hennebert: *“We hasten to declare that a journey of this kind belongs to the domain of the im- possible. Without stopping to consider the mass of objections that might be op- posed to his calculations, M. Collignon sees an absolute obstacle to the realization of his plan in the enormous pressures that would be developed in the airat the depths that would have to be reached in the course of journeys at any length.”” A table, showing the number of atmos- pheres corresponding to the pressures at different depths is here given and shows that at a depth of only a fiitieth of the earth’s radius the pressure would be repre- sented by the number 34,547 followed by 57 ciphers! The article goes on: *““We must then admit that in the whole centrgl part of the tunnel, if it has pene- trated to any depth in the subterranean strata, there is a sort of impassable wall, formed by compressed air, in which bodies from the surface of the globe would be stopped, crushed, perhaps burned up. “To what depth beneath the sea-level can we descend in a pit freely open to the air? It can be shown that the pressure of three atmospheres is the extreme limit of pressure that can be borne with impunity. To this limit corresponds the depth of 8750 meters (28,700 feet, or more than 500 miles), and when this has been reached the first fifth of the earth’s crust has scarcely been traversed. This depth is yet far from having been reached, even in the most famous mines. “Tt is a curious fact that this number of 8750 meters also nearly expresses the limit of height to which we have been able to rise in the terrestrial atmosphere, “From all these considerations we can conclude that within the limits of less than nine kilometers, either above or below sea level, by a series of the most in- teresting conditions man sees himself con- fined by the fateful decree: Ne plus ultra.” A Suggestion for Inventors. When electricity was first adopted in houses an attempt was made to perpet- uate the old gas brackets, chandeliers, etc. It took & certain time for the vendors of such articles to realize that their form might be altered for the better, as the heayiness which was needed where a tube was necessary was out of place when a thin wire replaced the tube. So it seems to be with motor carriages, so far as I have seen them. Carriage- or whoever design the new ve- hicles, cannot get out of their head the torms that are suitable for carriages drawn by horses, and they seem to be under the impression that it wou!d be almost a crime to deviate from the old models. The man whose motor carriage will eventually be- come popular must emancipate his mind from the tyranny of continuity.—London Truth. Photographs of a Tornado. The Engineering News prints the photo- graph of & tornado of which the accompany-1 ing cut is a reproduction, and says that it wil be examined with especial interest at this time, both by those who have had and those who have not had the fortune, good or ill, to witness one of these terrible storms. The photograph was taken by T. Croft, & local photographer at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 14. The distant when the photograph was taken, and & rough computa- tion indicates a probable diameter of the fun- nel of about 1000 feet. The negative is, unfortunately, exceedingly faint and the print should show the sky much darker than-it does, but a tornado is a difficult subject to photograph at the best; in fact, most people who have witnessed one of these twisters haye found other things to occupy their time than taking pictures of the threat- ening spiral. So far as known this is the first actual photograph of a tornado éver published and it is believed that only one other has ever been taken. This is referred to in Russell's +Meteorology” as having been secured at the Howard mines, South Dakota, on August 28, 1884, the cloud then being twenty-two miles away, and a rather poor pen p:cture is inserted in the book, drawn from the photograph. —————— TO PROMOTE INSANITY. A new puzzle has recently appeared which, the New York Evening Sun thinks, bids fair to fill the lunatic asylums or ruin the eyesight of the unfortunate persons in whose hands it chances to fall. No skill or calculation is required to solve it. The thing works itself, but how and why is a mystery. The name of the puzzle is *‘Get Off the Earth.”” It consists of two pieces of card- board, one square piece, in the center of which 15 fixed a ecircular piece, which revolves on a central pin through an arc of about an inch. The circular piece 1s painted hike a map of the earth, and about the edges, partly on the earth and partly in the surrounding air, are twelve Chinamen, wear- ing swords. Turning the cardboard round about it is found that one of the Celestials has completely vanished. To find out where is the puzzle. Simple as it looks, this is a difficult problem. A simple turn of the cardboard does appear to puton the earth an extra man; a reversal of the center piece and he is gone. And yet all the parts that make up the men are in plain sight, and none are concealed beneath the re- volving world. e After a large series of careful observations one of the principal elecirical companies in the United States has decided to put Crookes tubes on the market, and tubes of approved sizes and types may now be purchased. It is said, says the Eiectrical Review, successful results have been obtained with the tubes already furnished. Experiments are be- ing continued, in order that the most im- {v_rnved forms may be within reach of the pub- ic contirually. - jured last winter by inundations, which inter- rupted for weeks the working of the Trans- Caucasian Railroad, which extends from the petroleum wells on the Caspian to the Black Sea, through what were formerly known as Circassia and' Georgia. talk of & pipe line to connectwith another railroad north of the Caucasus. e Certain kinds of diamonds, those of a bluish- white tint, have been found to phosphoresce on exposure to the ultra-vioiet rays of an elec- tric arc or other strong light.

CHILDREN'S EVESIGHT IMPROVES WITH AGE. Singular Results of an Exami- nation of School Pupils. The Percentage of Normal Vision Found to Increase With Years. Bad System of Light. The growing use of glasses by people who ari ;Jn thgir prime and should possess good eyesight has been the subject of chn discussion. ~ Oculists claim that with proper care and treatment of such troubles, giving nature a chance to assert hersglf, imperfections in vision may be remedied and overcome, so that the use of glasses can be done away with after a time. S It seems that the School Board oiABnlu- more has not been so short-sighted in the matter, but recently assisted a committee of oculists in the work by having the schoolteachers co-operate With them. The results are shown inthe following statement, published in Philadelphia: The eyes of 53,067 pupils were exams ined by the tests ordinarly used Aby ocnlists, and the results are interesting and suggestive. Nine thousand and fifty-one pupils were ght as to make school work unsafe. Fifty-three per cent of the children were found not to be in the enjoyment of normal vision, but curiously enough the percentage of defective eyesight steadily decreased with the age of the pupils. The percentage of normal vision was found to be as follows in the differant grades: First grade, 35; second, 41; third, 47; fourth, 49; fifth, 481 sixt®, 48; seventh, 54, and eighth, 56. No explanation is offered for this improve- ment in eyesight with age and the use of the eyes under school conditions. Until such explanation is given it might The Russian petroleum_trade was badly in- | be argued either that the eyesight of the race is deteriorating, being worse in the children latest born, or that there are de- fects in vision which are remedied either by nature or art. But at least one definite conclusion was reached. It wasfound that many black- boards and maps in the schools were not placed in the proper light, and the report of the oculists recommends yearly ex- aminations hereafter of the pupils’ eye- sight, and that a uniform system ofadjust- abie 'seats and desks be adopted, and | that these be regulated to the heights of | the children.
