Flights in the Air: There are three
I kinds of air ships now on trial, or perhaps,
we may say four. One is of the
nature of a baloon, with a car beneata
which carries fan-like propellers and a
rudder. The leading instrument of this
kind is that of Count Zeppelin, who is
now flying from a point in France to Berlin
in Germany. The latest tidings from
his is that he has made good progress,
but that one of nis propellers has broken
and he is now proceeding at reduced
optcu.
Torpedo Flying Machines: For years
our navy has been experimenting with
the propulsion of torpedoes under water,-which
are directed by electricity so as
to strike the enemy's vessel. Recently
an air ship has been invented which can
be started into the air, and directed by
the use of an electrical currents front a
station on the land below. They are to
carry no person, but only a supply of
dynamite. A man on the grounu nelow
, is to direct their movements by electrical
currents, so as to send them over the
enemy's camp, and there to drop the
torpedo.

found quite a number of cases" of tnis
kind, and are preparing to bring the

Edward H. Harriman stands today as
one of the richest men in the United
States, and as one who by his control of
immense lines of railroad is making more
money than any other man. At the present
he is lying at his home in New York,
ill, and in danger of life. To what extent
his illness is due to the strain of
accumulating money is not certain. His
condition . directs attention to the fact
that there are things in life that are
worth more than money.

IT WORKS
The Laborer Eats Food that Would Wreck
an Office Man.
Men who are actively engaged at hard
work can sometimes eat food that would
wreck a man who is more closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
"I was for 12 years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all the
time without much trouble until after I
entered the telegraph service.
"There I got very little exercise and
drinkintr strone coffee, mv nerves crew
unsteady and my stomach got weak and
I was soon a very sick man. I quit meat
and tobacco and in fact I stopped eating
everything which I thought might affect
me except coffee, but still my condition
grew worse and I was all but a wreck.
"I finally quit coffee and commenced to
use Postum a few years ago and I am
speaking the truth when I say, my condition
commenced to improve immediately
and today I am well and can eat anything
I want without bad effects, all due
to shifting from coffee to Postum.
"I told my wife today I believed I could
digest a brick if I had a cup of Postum
to go with it.
"We make it according to directions,
noiiing it run zu minutes and use good
rich cream and It Is certainly delicious."
