The Hrst military illrljctblc linlluon

-'of Its Inventors.
,1, Tho recent kuccchh ot French and
''Oi'rmun nrniy .'ilrslilpn awakened i
-great degree of Interest In Knglnnd
. ,on I ho subject or aerostatics. Reports
ot the trials to be hold yesterday lenk-
-.ed out and the military authorities,
,4,who lmve been hying to inystifv the
public, found themselves obliged to
(rtearry out tin trials In the presence of
several hundreil persons. Among the
crowd were repip.ieiitatlven of u mini
ilier of foreign nutluhs lute'nt upon
gleaning all possible Information on
he novel point of the balloon's con
struction. The KiifdlHh airship proved capa
ble of being easll handleil, able to
travel with and against the wind, and,
most Important of all. capable of be
ing steered. The balloon wan in
rhurge of t'ol. Capper. C'apt. King and
t S. Cody, an American who has
ipent a number of yari In the flrlt
Isli cervlee In ehargo of the kite, sec
tion of the urtuy. After making a
semicircle of about two miles around
Rarnborough and Cove Common, nn
accident occurred to the engines and
in spite of the throwing out of ballast,
j'f which the airship carried X00
pounds, the balloon settled down near
iotite trees. The defect which develop
ed In only slight and can easily be
remedied.
DttrlnA the tilp the wind blew nt
Ihe rate of l.'i miles and the nlrship
hid no dllllculc.v in navigating ngnlnBt
It. She- rode gently like a vessel In a
senwny. The machine, responding to
the movenientH of the ennvns. sail-like
rudder, traveled In a wide circle of
about two miles in clrriimfereiica nl
the rate of about live miles an hour.
She had almost completed the circle
wlien the engluet stopped suddenly,
owing to the breaking of a belt, and
the ship settled down gradually, drift
ing near a clump of trees. A detach
ment of engineers rushed up and,
seizing hold or the trailers, dragged
the ship out of danger.
At the second trial the machinery
worked with perfect HinootlnpHW.
Various evolutions were performed
arid 'thoBhip -complete a tlreH-inl'j
circle) at mi hltltttdo of About half u
mile. She then descended not far
from hor shed.
This new airship is n snuRnse
shaped balloon about ion feet Ioiik by
30 feet In diameter. I( has a lining
capaclt of about one ton. which, nf
ter deducting the weight of the car,
pnglnes and other apparatus, pcrnilu
the carriage of a crew ot three nieu of
average -weight. TIih cur is shaped
Ilko a boat and built of aluminum and
canvas. The petroleum for the mo
tors 18 carried In two torpedo-like
cylinders above the car.

the monkfc woilld send them out on
had nights an try to lose thorn, but
alius somo tourist 'ud find th' stray
an' lug him back home. Ich dog
carried a little barrel of booze on his
collar nu' In that way made himself
pop'lar with totnl strangers. Them
days air past now. They have moved
th' Swiss Tyrol to th' Chicago amuse
ment parks. So th' dogs, beln out ot
a Job, nlr-'tio more use to nobody.
"Oh, yis I alius hev a dog about.
Rut from greetlu him with shoe leath
er an' profanity every time ho make a
plittnb fool of hfsseir I'm wore to a
shudder. An' every time I am be
reaved of a dog by somo blnnio dog
thief I vow 1 won't never hov another.
Hut It never nln't very long till some
one else sticks me for a thoroughbred
pointer with a pedigree tnado on th"
spur o' th' moment.
"I brought one homo th' other night
and put him In n nlco box of straw.
Ho waited till I was abed and then
he set up th' worst lament you ever
heard. I went down nn' shut him In
th' bank Three- minutes later I put
hint In th' henhouse. No good. He
.vas hack under th' winder recltln' th'
works or Kdgiir Aollan Poo as per
several times previous. Then I went
Jown an' turned a wnshtitb over thet
nup nn sot on It. I lit n pipe an'
ield dOWn thet wnllln' monster fer
Miree hours. Then th' ol' womnn
ttuck her bend outer th' winder nn'
oul she hated to butt In an' of course
I wns a-doln' th 'best thet could be did,
but how would It do to tie th" dog In
the outhouse? Tie him up! S'liucks!
I never thought of thnt. It worked
fine.
"They say a dog Is man's best
friend. Thet's nil right, but you never
!ifn tell which man. 1 lied a large
freckled kyoodle once thet would run
'h grocer boy olf th' place, chase th'
lew minister up n npplo tree, scare
th' wash lady Into gnllopln' conniption
Its nn' then escort a frowzy tramp up
to. th' house u-waggln' his tnll plumb
up to his enrs. I got soro ot thet dog
when ho halted 1110 one night nu' Jus'
wouldn't lot mo come anigli th house.
I got un armful of paving stones an'
hr-d bust two holes in th kitchen wall
v'011 I discovered In th' most natural
way In th' world thet th' dog was he
ilnd me chnwlii' my leg. An' only
'hot monilii tho brute lied let n bill
.ollector walk right Into th' house.
"Yes, sir, th' dog lies outlived his
usefulness. All dogs hns,' fioni th'
bow-legged bulldog to th' moiikoy

A Favorite Resort.
Marlonbnd, whither King Kdwnrd
goes for his uiiuual "euro," was ol
mist unknown n century ago. It was
virtually discovered by Dr. Nehr, who
pubjlnhed a, booklet In ISlii describing
tho'nini'velous results upon patients or
his who had been drinking tho wnters.
Hut Dr. Nehr recommended thnt all
Invnlids repairing to Marlenbnd should
take their beds with tliem, because
no accommodation whatever was tlion
provided In such a sequestered spot.
Mntters had not much Improved In
1820, when Goetho visited Marlenbad
and drnnk tho wnters, for ho wrote to
a Crlend: "I feel nn lr I wore In tho
American solitudes, whoro tho fordsts
are cut down to build up a city within
IVreo yenrs." Nearly 20,000 valetudi
narians now annually niako pilgrimage
to Marlenbad. Dundee Advertiser.
First UnlversaJ Language.
One of tho earliest and most confi
dent attempts to establish a universal
langungo on tho lines of tlio modern
Esperanto wns that of Sir Thomas
Urquhart, who 'in 1053 Issued his "in
troduction to a universal languaeo
rwhich for vnrioty'of diction In each'
part of speech surniountotli nil tho
languages of tho world." An expectant
public was blddon to look out Tor sub
sequent volumes, hut they never ar
rived, lllshop Wllklns, who flourished
about the same period, had his own
Ideas about a universal language, but
they did not materialize. Ho wns a
optimist of the first degree, nnd was
firmly convinced that it would bo pos
sible to communlcato with tho moon
by mcnns of Hying machines.
