Mr. W. F. Prioleau of Atlanta was in the
city last week.
The guests at the De Soto will be given a
hop next Thursday evening, which will be
an ad litional attraction at that already at
tractive place. The Sunday night sacred
concerts are also an additional pleasure and
will consist of instrumental and vocal
niusio. Last Thursday eveniug Mi-8 Butler
of Boston delivered a charming leoture on
the subject of women, which was listened
to with pleasure. Another amusement of
the guests is furnished by a very remarka
ble and original little squad of dusky vol
unteer guards that create much laughter by
their inimitable drill.
The grenadine gauzes in vari-oolor.striped,
with satin bars m black, or in black with
crinkled baby ribbon bars of color, and in
watered and figured designs, are quite
pretty enough to justify the prediction that
they will prove one of the most popular of
the thin fabrics. Their gavety is of the
modest sort that pleases the women who are
given to sober gowns, and they are a relief
from the all-black grenadines, nets and
laces. The latter, however, will be worn
largely, their ornate designs displayed con
spicuously over white and light Bilks, and
over colors.
Mrs. Wbitland Warner of Washington,
Miss L. Leguin and Miss Clayton of Balti
more are at the De Soto, and will be in the
city about a month.
There is much regret expressed by devo
tees of society that there will be no soiree
after Lent, and the ladies as well as gentle
men are regretting the decision that de
prives them of another charming evening
and much pleasant dancing until next year,
when the soiree will again be resumed.
Miss Meta Harden has returned to her
home after a most delightful visit to Au
gusta, where she was the guest of Miss
Ma ine Sibley. She is a favorite in Au
gusta and is much admired for her dra
matic gifts, as well as for her native oharm.
Mr. and Mrs. Rionard Bond and the
M isses Bond have returned from quite a
long stay in St. Augustine, Fia. Miss Bond
has gone on to Milledgeville, where later she
will be joined by Mr. and Mrs. Bond and
Miss (tussle Bond, to bo absent about a
month.
Capt. Beirne Gordon was the recipient
last week of a handsome gold medal pre
sented by the Hussars; which is a substantial
proof of the popularity of the gallaut cap
tain. Oa the medal was engraved: “Geor
gia Hussars to Capt. Beirne Gordon.” The
medal is a work of art and good taste and is
Bet with a diamond. The medai was grace
fully delivered by Sergt. McAlpln.
The lectures of Dr. Strong have been wall
attended and listened to with much inter
est. The subjeot is presented in the most
interesting style of this eloquent divine, and
he has succeeded in holding the attention of
the young people, as well as the mature.
All who have read “In Paradise” aud ap
preciate t . pure English and finished style
of Dr. Strong in print would be equally
pleased by his magnetic Influence in the
pulpit.
Among the attractions of the week after
Lent, one of the most anticipated as a good
thing, is the play by Savanuah’s best ama
teurs. It will be for the benefit of
the Louisa Porter home, and the
Masonic hall will be crowded with eager
spectators tu witness a very amusing and
clever play, very charmingly acted. The
cast is a popular one, and all understand
the art of acceptable presentation. Those
who will take part in it are Mrs. George
Baldwin, Mrs. Stovall, Miss Ruthie Stuurt,
Miss Maud Thomas, Mr. Henry McAlpin,
Mr. Ferris Cann, Mr. Treuholm Hopkins,
and Mr. T. Lloyd Owens. This combina
tion of talent will provein itself an irre
sistible magnet. A short play will precede
the foregoing, in which the principal parts
are taken by Miss Mabel Gordon, Mr.
Lloyd Owens and Mr. E. Elllbtt.
Mr. George Baldwin is at home after a
week spent in Florida.
Miss Hattie Phinizy of Augusta is un
doubtedly one of Georgia’s most attractive
and interesting belles. She is natural, un
affeoted, and in additiou to these rare
cberins, she is highly cultivated, having
lakeu advantage of her many good oppor
tunities. She is visiting in Oolnrabus, and
this is what is said of her: “Miss Hattie
Phinizy is tae guest of Mrs. ii. H. Upping,
Jr. Miss Phinizy Is possessed of a bril
liancy of mind, a breadth of culture and a
charming personality that always win.
Occupying the highest social position, she
is at once gracious and popular."
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. White of Athens are
guests of Mr and Mrs. P. W. Meldrim at.
their beautiful home on Bull street. Mrs.
White is a congenial and successful worker
with her talented husband, and many are
her friends, not only in Savannah, but all
over the state. Her spacious and charming
home in Athens has always been a source
of pleasuro to Athens people and their vis
itors, and they are not few who have en
joyod the cordial and charming hospitality
of Mr. and Mrs. W T hite.
Ur. Frank Bloodworth has returned
home, after a year spent in Germany,
where he has taken advantage of the op
portunities of that solid old country.
Mrs. Lucas and her daughter, Mrs. Pey
ton Bibb, of Montgomery, Ala., are guests
of Judge and Mrs. Falligaut.
Miss Katherine M. Huger receives the
highest praise for her artistic work at the
Woman’s Art Club of New York, and the
critics plaoe it among the very best, and
especially oommend her appreciation of
color.
The Daughters of the Revolution are
gaining in strength and importance as they
increase in number, l'ho convocation
held recently in Washington was
the oceasiou of many pleasing and
handsome attentions to the Georgia
delegation, and the ladies were given a
special bearing. The essay of Mrs. Lips
comb of Athens is described as one of the
yery best delivered in the convention. Mrs.
L S. Morgau was honored by her selection
as state regent, and in selootiug Mrs. Mor
gan the state could not furnisli one better
suited to fill such an important plaoe. Mrs.
Morgan is a sister of Mrs. Meldrim of this
city. Mrs. Luoy Caswell and Mrs. Hattie
Jefferies were also accorded many com
plimentary honors.
Miss Eva Brown of Albany is visiting at
the residence of Mr. Richard Robinson.
Miss Mercier of Augusta was in the city a
few days last week.
The wheels are gaining in popularity in
t e south, as they have long since been a
continued fact in the north. It is no un-
usual sight to see them in the parks there.
Miss Mabel Resent, sister of the authoress
of that name, Is said to cover thirty or
forty miles daily.
Economical people rent cheap houses,
and cheap houses have dark halls, and no
one is quite satisfied with an unattractive
hallway. An Ingenious woman improved
on the usual wav by covering her wails
with pictures in such'a way as "to convert
her hallway into a thing of beauty. She
collected suitable pictures, mostly en
gravings of an unsHadowy nature, then in
vested in squares of glass, and strips of
white and black enameled wood ; these she
took to an humble little oabiuetmaker.
He put tbe glass and frames and pictures
together for a song, and so she framed her
sixty pictures within the money limit drawn
by her indulgent husband. The family
looked on with curiosity not UQmmgied
with scorn when the sixty little pictures
came home. They were of every shape and
size. Some not larger than the palm of your
hand: some in groups of four running'in a
row; now and then there would be six little
fellows gathered in one frame, couples and
trios, and the majority single squares. Full
half were provided with brass rings to lie
tacked flat against the wall, but the ma
jority were to hang in the orthodox way.
After she had completed this original un
dertaking the effect was not only satisfac
tory , but surpassed even her Idea of the
light and beauty in her formerly dark and
uninviting hallway, and now It is radiant
with brightness and grace, the mistress goes
in and out a sense of placid pleasure
over her decoration, and the young raau
visitor halts as he hangs up his hat, recog
nizing the smart girl in her opera box, the
sepia flirtations, beguiling little Musines,
and Abby’s adorable Shakespearean girls
nodding at him from the walla
The mothers of Savannah display their
usual good taste in the dainty aud lovely
dressing of the happy little children who
make such bright little groups in the park
aud in the squares. Their lovely, innocent
faces are an attraction, aud this is enhanced
hy the soft, white materials or the delicate
tints of their clothes. Tbe mild climate
permits tbe babies to appear in full force,
and their carriages, as well as themselves,
are very noticeable for their evidenoe of
care and taste. There is a very lovely
white enameled carriage, with a white lace
shade surmounted by a blue bow, that falls
gracefully in several long loops, and a pale
blue elder-down carriage robe, under
which, by careful observation, may be seen
a contented aud silently happy little sleeper,
who rarely travels beyond Gaston street.
Miss Eva Jones of Macon is spending
some time in Savannah, and is at Mrs.
Guerard Heyward’s.
Nearly all the Savannah people who were
at Suwannee Springs, Fla., have returned
home during the late unfortunate result of
the mixing waters. Suwannee proves its
attraction, however, and some expeot to
return to that Dopular resort later on, And
it is not only Savannah peoole who l annot
resist Florida; it is rumored that Mr. Henry
M. Flagler has invested in all or part of
Lake Worth, and will ereot a hotel that
will rival the Bonce de Leon.
Mr. and Mrs. James Boyd of Philadelphia
spent a few days in Savannah last week.
Miss Raoul of Atlanta, after a charming
visit to New Orleans,is a guest of Miss.Venie
Minis; her many friends are always glad
to welcome her to Savannah.
Miss Loulie M. Gordon of Atlanta is ap
pointed to colieot historic relios from all
states for tbe world’s fair.
Miss Maris and Miss Lola Moyneio, who
are now at the Lucy Cobb, will not return
to Savannah for some time, as there is a
very delightful programme before them.
After the school term, their mother will
take them to Virginia, and from there to the
world's fair. From there they will return to
the Luoy Cobb.
Lieut, and Mrs. Edward Lawton, Miss
Maggie Basinger, Miss Emmie Lawton and
Mhs Guilie Lawton will constitute a pleas
ant and attractive party to Chicago this
summer. They will be absent soma time,
and so have full opportunity to enjoy the
great fair and that wonderful Chicago.
Mr. J. H. Clarke of Darien was in Savan
nah last week for several days.
Mrs. Cleveland’s phaeton is described as
being a light vehicle, of a dark green color,
with small yellow strines on the wheels and
sides. The top extends so far forward that
It is almost impossible to see who is within.
There Is a seat for the coaohman behind.
This is probably more comfortable, but can
not be quite as stylish as some of the traps
owned by Savannah ladies.
Vogue soys that hats for tbe street are
either very large or very small. The ca
pote Is still a favorite with fashionable
matrons and young married ladies, and tbe
tendency is to make it very decorative. In
some of the French shops jeweled shoe but
tons have appeared, such as turquoise, ame
thyst, garnets and rhinestones, set in silver
or gold. A novelty is the tips of silver or
gold filagree for evening slippers. They are
made so as to fit snugly, and one pair will
do for all the slippers one wishes to wear.
Miss Margaret Stiles Is visiting at the hos
pitable home of Mrs. James Dent, near
Brunswick.
Miss Ella Alexander returned to Augusta
last Friday, to the regret of many friends in
Savannah.
There are many who enjoy the bright let
ters of Bab, but they are few who know she
is a Baltimore woman, and widow of Mr.
William Mailon of Ireland. She now lives
in a New York flat with her mother, and is
oonneoted with the editorial staff of tbe
Ladies' Home Journal.
Miss Whitehead has returned home after
a delightful visit to Charleston.
Refined and cultured people find it even
more necessary to have a well furnished
dining room than anything else to complete
their full measure of happiness. The din
ing rooms of the metropolis are assuming
the proportions and luxuries of the ban
queting hails of the ancient Romans. Mrs.
Vau Rensselaer Cruger entertains in one of
the most effective of these dining balls wheu
summering at her charming” Idlesse Farm”
on Long Island. The apartmeot, wbloh ia
large and lofty, is not only the
consummation of artistic taste, but is
cunuiugiy oontrived to enhance the lova
liuess of every woman who enters it. The
walis are hung in dark crimson satin bro
cade, and half way up the ceiling spring
clustering oandelabra of white and gold,
each bolding a pyramid of wax candles.
Ample red eilk draperies fall over lace cur
tains at tile windows, through which sea
breezes blow and shifting marine views de
light the eyes. The floor is carpeted in
orimson; the riohly carved furniture is
black with aye, on tbe tall buffets glitters
much splendid silver plate, most of it in
antique patterns, a heritage from Knicker
bocker ancestors. Portraits of dignified old
Dutchmen and their wives hang here and
there, and lookiDg out from dim gilt frames
various dead and gone Schuylors and Van
Rensselacrs gravely observe the doiuge of
their descendants. Two life size bronze
figures support shaded lamps at both ends
of the room, aud a couple of enormous sil
ver jardinieres are ever blooming with wild
greenery and field flowers.
Mrs. George Baldwin invited a few guests
to meet Mr. and ilrs. James Boyd of Phila
delphia at dinner last Wednesday eveniug.
Mrs. Wylly of Brunswick Is visiting Mrs.
Alfred Mills on Hall street.
Mrs. William Garrard was hostess et a
beautiful luncheon given on Wednesday.
The guests were Mrs. J. T. Auerback of
New York. Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Rauers,
Mrs. T. M. Cunningham, Mrs. Florence

George Ra’.dwin. Mrs. Comer. Mrs. W.
H. Daniel, Mrs. Paige and Miss Guilie
Lawton.
Miss Belle Stiles is visiting relatives iu
Brunswick.
The woods, in their early spring costume
of Jessamine, proves a great attraction all
during the week, as well as on Sunday.
Last Sunday many dainty, enterprising
sooiety favoritee were seen, heroically
walking into brier bushes, ruthlessly pull
ing down lofty trees to gather therefrom
tbe fragraut and unsuspecting little yellow
blossoms from their summits and emerging
triumphant with beautiful sprays, torn
veils and scratched physique. Las: Thurs
day a party went from Mrs. Guerard FThy
ward’s to spend the day out of town.
Dr. Julius C. LeHardy is welcomed to
Savannah by his many friends, after quite
a lengthy stay in Augusta.
Even before the oold weather goes, tlie
shop windows are displaying beautiful sum
mer fabrics: and tbe spring ia really here,
and very soon the stylish girl will be wear
ing dainty becomiug ginghams and the
delicate Frencby muslins. The rare pale
Marguerite or the brilliant dark brunette
alike oaa wear with good effect the soft or
rioh tones of the advancing spring costumes.
Some novelties are displayed. Each year
develop* the talent of designers. Every
thing one could want for either seaside or
mountains Is on Broughton street, where
much taste and discrimination is displayed,
not only In the windows, but in the shop*
themselves. A New Yorker says the close
of the social season has not affected tbe in
troduction of attractive novelties for dressy
wear. Little Zouave, or Cairo, jackets are
shown in thick cloth or delicate tints, over
laid with gold work. Bummer wraps are
always m demand. A pretty and useful
one is a round cape of waist-line length,
in pink accordion-plaited chiffon, with deep
colleretto rutile of white laoe, a throat
ruche of the chiffon above, and pink rib
bons. The accordion plaititig s very fine,
almost like crimping. Such capes are
offered, with hats to match, for garden
party costumes.
* 'No weddings in Lent," says a high dig
nitary In the church, but many weddings
in April, says Mme. Rumor. Some social
favorites in Savannah will be married in
that month, and Augusta will give up sev
eral belles. In Augusta the Campbell-
Dunbar wedding will be quiet, but very
elegant, and the recent death of Mr. Doug
lass Campbell of New York, father of the
bridegroom elect, will add to toe necessity
for a quiet celebration. Mr. Campbell, Sr.,
was years ago a very prominent lawyer,
but of late years he had retired and given
himself ap to literature. His history of
“The Puritans in Their Three Homes, Hol
land, England and America,” has attracted
widespread attention and added much to
the reputation even of such a distinguished
man. The son is said to inherit bis father’s
gifts. Miss Dunbar is now in New York
for a visit.
The many friends of Mr. G. B. Pritohard,
Jr., will be glad to know that he is rapidly
recovering from his illness and will resume
his studies this week at West Point, where
be is in the United States corps of oadets.
The hospitable home of Mrs. T. M. Cun
ningham was the center of attraction last
Thursday afternoon, where she received
hosts of friends. She was assisted In receiv
ing by Miss Woodbndge, Miss Lina Wood
bridge, Miss Maggie Hull, Miss Anderson,
Miss Sadie Anderson, Miss Arnold, Miss
Vida Fleming, Miss Maris Nisbet, Miss
Ruthie Stuart, Mrs. George Cozens, Miss
Janie Cunningham, Miss Maud Thomas,
Mrs. Charles Ellis and Miss Daisy MoAlpiu.
Among those who were present were Mrs.
Rauers, Mrs. Nisbet, Mrs. C. Cunningham,
Mrs. Haskell, Mrs. Daniel, Mrs. Malone,
Mrs. Baldwin, Miss M. Minis, Mrs.
dußlgnon, Miss Kitty Stiles, Miss Comer,
Miss Applet on, Miss Raoul, Miss Screven,-

Mercer, Mr. Robert Mercer, Jr., Mr. Godin
Guerard, Mr. Leopold Alexander. Mr. T.
Lloyd Owens, Mr. Finney, Mr. Gordon Har
rison, Mr. R. Harrison and others. The
rooms were beautifully and artistically ap
pointed, the prevailing oolor being pink;
and a very rare and pleasing departure were
the real apple blossoms that descended in
garlands from the chandeliers. Tbe center
pieces were exquisitely tinted and exe
cuted, and the quantities of flow
ers, fresh and fragrant, were a
beautiful setting to the bovy of
graceful and beautiful women, who so
charmingly assisted Mrs. Cunningham In
receiving, and making this occasion one of
many pleasant memories of the entertain
ments at that popular home.
The engagement of Mr. Tom Glover of
Marietta to Miss Mary Eloise Nesbitt of
that city has been announced, and the wed
ding will ocour early in June Mr. Glover
is one of the most prominent young men of
that charming and progressive place, both
socially and in business circles, and Miss
Nesbitt is the belle and beauty of the city.
Augusta is very enterprising and ia not
satisfied with its reputation for bright and
good looking women, extravagaut young
men, and an overflowing canal, but it
wants to be the home of celebrities, judg
ing from the following; “Mr3. Frank
Leslie is in Charleston, and an excursion
given her to Magnolia garden reads very
much like a similar trip in her honor up
our beautiful canal just about a year ago.
Wherever she goes She is toasted and given
ovations, and speeches and compliments are
followed by some of her own bright recita
tions. Yesterday she recited ‘The Bravest
Battle That Ever Was Fought,’and com
pletely captured the Charlestonians. It was
a realm of romanoe among the magnolias,
and we hope tbe aroma of the flowers and
the toasts of eloquent Carolinians have
not weaned Mrs. Frank Leslie from her
promise to build a castle on our bights
across the river. Is it not time for Au
gusta to be stirring in this matter? Why
should not North Augusta keep pace with
Murray hill?
Now that the Louisa Porter borne has an
other protege on its list, and one who surely
needed kindness and protection, it is an ad
ditional inspiration to tho actors who are
submitting their talent for that object.
The scene in the court room yesterday pre
sented a very striking picture to the causal
observer, where the home was speaking in
behalf of a friendless waif found in the
woods some time slnoe by a big-hearted and
clear-headed old-time maumer, who would
stand up to give her evidenoe, prompted by
instinctive politeness.

Women have more common sense than
they get credit for. and tbe hoop skirt will
find this out and find itself ignored. There
is nothing graceful or convenient or be

it has been the cause of so much comment
and disapproval that It certain)/ will be

hoopskirt# were in vogue 1.50 years ago and
Handel’s "Messiah” was first produoed in
Dublin, tbe desire to hear it was so great

in their favor. In the window of si Broad

mass of yellow ribbons marked “for sale.”
It Seems that tbe lamp shade, par excel
lence, is an umbrella of white silk', friuged
with orange ribbons, each length tipped with
a crystal bead or bangle. Formerly tobacco
dealers presented tbn oigar bauds to the dar
ing enthusiast for the asking, but the de
mand grew to be such a nuisance that for
self-protection a market value was put
upon them. Now the girl with a fancy for
a white lamp shade, fringed with orange,
will pay for the material.
An effort is being made by the Southern
Booiety in New York to dispense with the
system of hiring a steward and of adopting
the English rule of appointing a manager,
who is a member of tbe club, and who will
take the entire responsibility of the manage
ment upon his shoulders. He will be paid
a handsome salary, and, if he cheeses, he
will have a room at the olub.
It Is with great pleasure to the listeners
that Mrs. Dripps has conducted a Bible
class during the winter, and a disappoint
ment that for a while the leotures must be
given up, owing to the absence of Mrs.
Dripps. Her sweet spirituality is a olew as
to her success in making her Tuesday eve
nings an occasion of anticipated and real
ized pleasure, aud to those who feel an In
terest in the Bible, and realizing their ignor
ance on the subjeot, know that by listening
to Mrs. Dripps they will hear something
that they did not know before, and also ap
preciate how wide and elevating a field is
open before them.
Tbe marriage of Miss Camille Meroier of
Augusta to Mr. Barksr of St. Raul, Minn.,
ooours on April 13. The wedding will
doubtless be a very elaborate and elegant
one. Miss Mercler is well known through
out Georgia, and her departure from tho
state to the northern region, which will
henceforth be her home, occasions much
regret to her large circle of friends. Miss
Mercier is very handsome, tall and fair, and
her scioial career has been In every respect a
brilliant one.
Mr. Loney spent a few days in the city
last week on his wsy from Florida to the
north.
Miss Stiles is a guest of Mrs. Woodbridge
on Gwinnett street.
Mrs. Richard Robinson was hostess on
Monday at a very enjoyable eveniug spent
at Mrs. Miller’s. The entertainment was
given complimentary to Mrs. Robinson’s
uephew, Mr. Kahlman. The donkey game
was played and was the cause of much mer
riment. Miss Nellie Ehrlich won the first
Srlze.a silver glove buttoner, and Mr.
lontjoy won tbe first prize for the gentle
men, a ellver pocket pin cushion. The

A NEW FLYING MACHINE.

Washington. March 13.— Prof. Samuel
Pierpont Langley, the suooessor of Prof.
Henry O. Baird in the control of the Smith
sonian Institution, has developed a flying
machine which he believes Is practicable.
The machine is a working modal. It is not
intended to carry passe ngers. In configu
ration tbe body portion closely simulates a
mackerel. The backbone is a light hut vary
rigid tube of what is technically known as
“title metal,” one of the many alloys of
aluminium and steel. It is fifteen feet in

length and five centimetres or two inches in
diameter. To give rigidity to the skeleton
longitudinal ribs of stiff steel are provided,
intersected at intervals by cross ribs of pur.
aluminium, the result lieing a lattloe frame
work of great strength.
The engines, which ore In the portion of
the framework corresponding to tbe head
of tbe fish, are of the double oscillating
type. They weigh sixty ouuoee nnd .level,
of one horse power, tbe ligbest
ever made. There are four bol
lers of thinly hammered copper,
weighing a little more than seven pound,
each, and they occupy tbe middle portion
of tbn fish. Instead of water, a very vola
tile hydrocarbon Is employed, tho exact
nature of wbiob is a matter of secrecy, but
whtoh vaporizes at a comparatively low
temperature. The fuel used 1. refined, guts
line, aud tho extreme end of the tail of the
fish is utilized for a storage tank, with a
capacity of on. quart. Before passing on
the boilers the gasoline is volatilized by
going through a heated ooil.
There are twin-screw propellers which
would be made adjustable to different angler
in practice to provide for the stoerhig, but
which, in simply a working model, are neoes
ea i v tlxid at a certain point tor a given trial.
Serene ot various pitches, and ranging
from twenty to eighty centimetres in di
ameter, have been experimented with, but
It is not yet definitely determined which
shall tie adopted for trial. W ith the small
est the engines develop o speed of 1,700 rev
olutions a minute. With the larger ones
the speed is somewhat decreased. A thin
jacket of asbestos covers the upper portion
of the i ody of tbe fish. It is unusually
porous, and probably is employed to pre
vent undue loss of heat by radiation.
The wings, or aeroplanes, are sector
shaped and oonsist of light frames of tubu
lar aluminium steel covered with China
silk. The front one is forty-two ioohsa
wide iu the wld sal part and uas an ex
treme length ot forty feet from tip to tip.
Tbe roar one ia somewhat smaller. Both
aeroplanes are designed to be adjustable
with reference to the angle they present to
the air. A tubular mast, extends upward] y
and downwardly through about the middle
of tbe craft, and from Its extremities
run stays of aluminium wire to the tips of
the aeroplanes anil the ends ot the tubular
backbone, and by this trussing arrange
ment the whole structure is rendered ex
ceedingly stiff.
This machine was constructed and per
fected to its present degree lu a secret room
in tbe Smithsonian Institution, where it
now rests. It was conceived about twenty
months ago by Prof. Langley, who associ
ated with him in the work of experimenta
tion Chief Clork W. C. Winlook aud Dr. Kid
der, a scientific expert employed at that
time in tke institution. Four skilled work
men in nitchanios end metallurgy wereput
to work at 50 oenta au hour under pledge of
suorecy. The work went on at odd hour*,
mostly at night and on Sundays.
Prof. Langley went to France to per
sonally superintend the making of the cen
tral tube which constitutes tbe backbone of
the slruotnre, and brought it back with
him among his personal effeots to insure
careful handling. It is so Mgbt that it can
be handled easily by an iufant. During his
visit to France he is believed to nave
reached his conclusions as to the belt model
for the general conformation of the pro
posed air craft, namely, the long, thin,
tapering lines of tbe mackerel. In the large
lecture room of the National museum Prof.
Langley has suoceoded repeatedly in pro
duceing successful flight by small models.
They would fly uj long as tbe power
lasted, tbe power being applied by means
of lightly wrapped rubber bands, on the
principle of the string top. Tbe lightest
of these little models weighs sixteen
grains, aud will soar from one ehd of the
room to the other os freely os a bird. It
may be supposed that the gross weight has
beeu so far reduced as to give hope of
actual sucaeaa now, inasmuch a a an out
door trial has beeu planned.
The intention is to employ a tug to tow
the experimental party to a creek about
f< rty-flve miles down the Potomao, where
the experiment* may be conducted without
fear of interruption.
