New York is .soon to be treated to some experiments in flying machines. A company of sober and practical men claim that they have solved the problem of aerial locomotion, and they intend to give exhibitions of their machine at the American institute fair, now in session. The flying macbinos I speak of are to be propelled by electricity. What the fabric is built of, or what its plan of con? struction is I do not know. Ah, if we could but produce aluminum easily and cheaply, that would settle the business at once! This is perhaps the grandest "if that bi.flles science to day. Here is a metal as strong as steel and light as wood, and filling the world with its abundance, and yet nobody can resolve, it save at an expense which deprives it of commercial usefulness. The largest block of it in the world, I believe, is the triangular cap which crowns the apex of the Washington monument. I am told that there are more inventors at work on this aluminum puzzle than on almost any other. Every few weeks we hear a shout of "Eureka!" but somehow the metal remains as scarce and costly as before. I could tell a very pretty romance of aluminum if I wished, but I don't. But the greatest romance of all will be the actual discovery of the way to get it out of its sulks into the service of man. That done, and we shall soon be flying through the air, and doing about as we please with nature generally. ?Boston Advertiser. ? Smokers will be interested to know that not a thousand miles from Albany there is a firm which makes large quanti? ties of paper for smoking purposes. The plan of operation is said to be this: The paper, on reaching the tobacco ware? house, is repeatedly soaked in a strong decoction of the plant. It is then cut up and pressed in moulds which give to each sheet the venation of the genuine leaf tobacco. So close is the imitation that expert tobacco men and habitual smokers have been deceived. At a recent gather? ing in this city cigars made from this paper tobacco were passed around and de? clared excellent. Many of those present declared the cigars were made from rare brands, and so well was the imitation carried out that one man actually insisted that there could be no mistake about the cigars being genuine tobacco.?Albany Express. ? An attempt was made last Thursday night near Yorkville to wreck the north bouud passenger train on the Chester & Lenoir railroad, which is operated by the Richmond & Danville. An iron rail was fastened across the track near the point where the train goes on a high trestle. The engine, fortunately, knocked the obstruction off without sustaining any damage. Bats! Hats! Hast!
