The Chilkoot Indian Packers.
“At Dyea is a small trading post,
kept by a white man, around which is
gathered a village of Indians or Si
wash, belonging to the Chilkoot tribe.
They are by no means ill-looking peo
ple. The men are strong and well
formed; the women (naturally, when
one considers their mode of life) are
inferior to the men in good looks.
These women' have a habit of painting
their faces uniformally black with a
mixture of soot and grease, a cover
ing which is said to prevent snow
blindness in the winter and to be a
protection in summer against the
mosquitoes. Some have only the up
per part of their faces painted, and the
black part terminates in a straight
line, giving the effect of a half mask.
At the time of our arrival the Indians
were engaged very busily in catching
and drying small fish. This fish is
very oily, and when dried can be
lighted at one end and used as a can
dle; and for this purpose it is stored
away against the loug winter night.. 1 ’

A Hindoo Cricket Expert.
The best cricket batsman in Eng
land now is an Indian named Ranjit
sinliji. It sounds something like fall
ing downstairs with a scuttle of coal,
and it is by no means an index of his
ability to wield a cricket bat. In his
opening match Ranjitsinhji made 77
not out and 150. There are but few
more astonishing feats on the cricket
field. He simply distanced his fellow
batsmen. In his first class matches ho
averaged 57, with an aggregate of 2,780
runs, beating the invincible W. R.
Grace’s 2,739 made in 1871.
Altogether the batting of Ranjit
sinhji amounts to genius. Ordinary
players who attempted to turn good
length ball3 off the middle stump in
variably came to grief, but he did it
with such skill and certainty that tho
best bowlers were driven to despair.
Ranjitsinhji is tall and dark, and
has an eye like an eagle. If his feilow-
Indians will but fight England with
half the desperation with which Ran
jitsinhji bats, her sovereignty in this
East is as good as lost.—New York

Working Out the Man-Flight Problem Along Scien
tific Lines Near Chicago.
The Jay is almost at hand when man
will dispute with the bird for suprem
acy in the air. For hundreds of years
his ambition has been at work with
such persistency of effort that he now
begins to see the end. Ho has grap
pled with the invisible forces of the
atmosphere, sometimes blindly, but
always courageously; generally to
ineetwith disappointment, but happily
with enough success to keep alive his
determination to master the most dif
ficult of all problems in physics. Lives
have been lost and fortunes have been
expended in the pursuit of this baffling
question of man-flight. Ridicule has
been heaped upon the heads of those
who sought to cope with the feathered
messengers of the air, and their sanity
questioned by the world at large.
The advancement made toward the
full solution of the problem of man
flight during the year 1896 was greater
than that of any previous year, and
attracted the widest attention among
scientists. Probably more interest
centered in the experiments conducted
thirty miles southeast of Chicago on
the shore of Lake Michigan by Octave
Clianute, of Chicago, than anywhere
else. The prominent position occu
pied by Mr. Clianute in the scientific
world was accepted as a guarantee that
he had faith in his experiments, and
that he had,no other purpose in view
but to demonstrate certain principles
involved in the problem.
At the time he was thus engaged Mr.
Chanute observed much caution in his
utterances concerning the results ob
tained. Fearful lest his conclusions
might not be properly formed, or that
he might be misunderstood, be re
frained as far as possible from commit
ing himself on the subject further than
to say his experiments were very satis
factory. Since then ho has gained
courage, so to speak, and has become
enthusiastic over what lias been ac
complished. He is now confident that
the way is clear for the solution of the
problem, and modestly takes to him
self a goodly share of the credit for
pointing the way. He claims that his
experiments have marked out the best
lines for investigators to follow, and
numbers them as follows in the order
of their importance:
1. The development of the self-pro
pelled aerodrome.
2. The development of the motor
less air sailer.
?>. The development of the motor.
During the past week the experi
ments of last year have been renewed
near Dune Park, Ind., and Mr.
Chanute has been almost a daily
visitor to the scene of action. His in
terest in the result will not let him
stay away longer than one day for sev
eral reasons. One reason is that the
machine being used is one of his own
invention in its most important details,
and another is that the experiments
are following the second line of in
vestigation, which he laid down as
necessary for the solution of the
problem of man-flight. It.is said that
Mr. Chanute is the real one who is
conducting the experiments, but this
he denies in favor of A. M. Herring, a
young man of considerable scientific
knowledge, who was associated with
Mr. Chanute last year in his extensive
experiments at the same place.
The machine with which Mr. Her
ring is now experimenting daily repre
sents the ideas of both himself and
Mr. Chanute. It belongs to the same
class as the machine which the late
Otto Lilienthal, of Berlin, brought out
in 1894 and in the use of which he met
his death last year. It might well be
termed a flying machine, and yet this
PROFESSOR CHANUTE’S LATEST FLYING MACHINE.
description does not fit accurately. It
is technically known as an aero-curve,
or a gliding machine. Better still, it
might be called an air coaster, for in
its action it approached very closely to
the motion of those machines known
as roller coasters. The resemblance
is carried still further in the applica
tion of the principles of operation.
It is one of three sailing machines
invented by Mr. Chanute, including a
steering apparatus designed by Mr.
Herring. The first machine was based
upon a reverse of the principles evolved
in the liilientlia! apparatus. Instead
of the man moving about under the
machine to bring the center of gravity
under the center of air pressure, it
was constructed with a view' to bring
ing the center of pressure over the
center of gravity l>y the aid of wings
moved automatically. This machine
had twelve wings, each six feet long
and three feet wide, and each pivoted
to a central frame. It had a total
wing surface of 177 square feet, and
weighed thirty-seven pounds.
By a process of evolution this ap
paratus became the machine in use at
the present time with which such re
markable results have been obtained.
Experiments showed many defects in
] the machine, and it was rebuilt on a,
different principle. The twelve wings
j were discarded, and in their stead
were substituted three superimposed
concave surfaces, each sixteen feet
long and four feet three inches wide,
with an aggregate surface of nineteen
square feet. Attached to the rear of
this machine was a combined horizon
tal and vertical rudder, designed by
Mr. Herring as a result of his frequent
trials of the machine. In tlie course
of t-lie experiments it was found neees
'■ sary to remove the lower surface, and
j this left the present machiue.
The several changes therefore re
| duoed the sustaining surface of the.
j machine from 177 square feet to 135
square feet. The weight was lowered
at the same time from thirty-seven

pounds to twenty-three pounds. This
general reduction did not impair tlie
strength of tlie machine, while at the
same time it improved its efficiency to
a remarkable degree. Repeated trials
showed tlxe machine capable of sus
taining an aggregate weight of 178
pounds, this figure representing the
combined weight of the operator ami
tlie machine. The frame is con
structed of spruce wood, braced with
fine piano wire, and the concave sur
faces are formed by varnished silk
stretched over the frame to the highest
tension.
Will this machine fly ? Mr. Chanute
will answer this “question l>y replying
that was never intended to fly. He
will inform those asking the question
that the machine is made for experi
mental purposes solely, with the end
in view of developing tlie motorless
air sailer. At the same time, Mr.
Clianute might say, tlie experiments
may lead to a solution of the most im
portant part of the problem of nian
tliglit—the maintenance of the equilib
rium of the machine under all cir
cumstances. He holds that this prob
lem must be solved first. It lias been
demonstrated to his satisfaction that
until automatic stability at all angles
of flight and conditions of wind is
evolved and safety thereby secured it
would be premature to seek to apply a
motor or a propelling instrument to a
fuli-sized machine.
The ordinary observer would an
swer that the machine does fly, never
theless, after witnessing a day’s ex
periments among the sand dunes. The
distinction between sailing and glid
ing and Hying would not appeal to any
but the scientific mind while watching
the “double-decker” travel through
tlie air a distance of 201) yards with
Mr. Herring hanging by his arms be
neath. If tlie spectator was daring
enough to tackle the machine himself
and succeeded in getting the right
“kind of a start be would be willing to
take oath that tie machine flew. He
would also be willing to testify that
his sensations while the flight lasted
were indescribably thrilling and de
lightful.
All the flights begin from an emi
nence, the numerous sand hills near
Dune Dark offering all the opportuni
ties desired for starting. Another re
quisite is that the operator must start
facing the wind, although with pro
ficiency good results may be obtained
with the machine traveling at an angle
with the wind. Those who have seen
a buzzard or most any other large bird
begin a flight from the surface of the
earth will have noticed that the bird
invariably faces the wind and runs a
few steps before rising. For the same
reasons the operator of the Chanute
flying machine must face the wind,
holding the machine over his head,
then run a few steps down the side of
the hill on w'hich he stands and finally
give a jump outward into space as
though he never expected to come
down. He will be doing nothing more,
in effect, than ho did when he jumped
from the top of a fence in boyhood
days with an umbrella over his head.
The wind rushing against the lower
sides of the two surfaces of varnished
silk holds the operator suspended,
while the angle at which he holds the
surfaces either impels it forward or
retards its motion. Sometimes a
strong gust of wind comes along when
least expected and suddenly raises the
machine higher than the starting point.
But for the automatic rudder this
might prove disastrous to the operator.
He would, in all likelihood, turn a
back somersault with tho machine and
get badly hurt. Again, a blast of air
from above might strike on the top of
the machine and cause it to shoot down
ward at a terrific rate of speed. This
is what happened to Lilienthal las!
year, and was the cause of the accident
which resulted in his death.
The line of flight of the machine in
the hands of such a skillful operator as
Mr. Herring may be controlled very
largely. He has demonstrated time
and again his ability to steer the ma
chine in broad curves by simply shift
ing the weight of his body from one
side to another. Lost Monday he suc
ceeded in describing a compound
curve during a flight of about 300 feet,
and landed with his hack almost com
pletely turned to the wind. It has
also been demonstrated that the ma
chine can be made to travel almost at
right angles with the wind at a high
rate of speed.
Flights have been made in all sorts
of winds, the speed of which varied
from ten to twenty-cme miles an hour.
The latter wind is higher in its speed
than any gliding machiue was ever
tried in before and tested the steadi-
ness of tlie machine most thoroughly.
The speed at which the machine travels
rests very largely with the operator
and depends upon the angle of descent
from the starting point. When he
finds that he is approaching the ground
too swiftly it is only necessary for him
to tilt the front of the machine upward,
when its speed will be immediately
checked, and a landing can be uiado in
safety. The range of flight is also
very largely within the control of the
operator, One who is skillful being
able to alight within ten feet of any
spot indicated while the wind main
tains an even rate of speed. The
longest flight recorded is the one made
this year l>y Mr, Herring, which was
almost 900 feet. Another flight of GOO
feet was made last week.
Long flights are not the aim of the
men who are conducting the experi-

inents with the gliding machine. They
are seeking to arrive at intelligent
conclusions concerning the problem of
automatic stability more than anything
else, and it is claimed by Mr. Chanute
that many new facts have been discov
ered bearing upon this question. In
anticipation of au early solution of the
question Mr. Herring is hard at work
on a motor which he hopes to be able
to apply to the gliding machine. An
evidence of the faith that is within him
is shown by the fact that he predicts
that an air ship will be constructed
within another year which will fly to
New York with but four stops on the
way to replenish the stock of fuel. —

of 1896 Miss Combs, who was visiting
her sister with a number of girls
from various States, went daily into
camp. Miss Combs took such an un
feigned interest in military affairs
that she soon found herself on a foot
ing of comaradarie with all the soldiers
in camp. Her favoritism, which was
unusual, culminated in a suggestion
to adopt her as “daughter of the regi
ment.” Fearful, perhaps, of a com
plication of relationships that might
ensue if their daughter offered to be a
sister, etc., the boys begged that she
be given a rank on the grounds that
only a resident of Missouri should be
accorded a daughtership. Accord
ingly Colonel Corby accepted her as a
member of his staff, she was designat
ed captain, and upon camp breaking
up she was duly commissioned.
Of course, when she returned last
fall to her homo in Lexington, Ivy.,
accounts of the “honors thrust upon
her” by Missouri were heralded
abroad. Infected with the fever of en
thusiasm, Kentucky, her adopted
State, vested her with the same title,
and now she is commissioned captain
by both States.
Captain Combs is a handsome wo
man of commanding appearance, and
in her dark blue uniform, which off

beauty, she could not fail to attract
attention anywhere. Doubtless Miss
Combs inherits her military instinct,

Influence of Music on tlie Hair.
An English statistician has recent
ly been engaged in an original task,
that of studying the influence of
music on the hair. The investigator
establishes, in the first place, that
the proportion of bald persons is
eleven per cent, for the liberal pro
fessions in general, with the excep
tions of physicians, who appear to
hold the record for baldness, which is
thirty per cent. Musical composers
do not form an exception to the rule,
and baldness is as frequent among
them as in the other professions. The
cornet-a-piston and the French horn
act with surprising surety and rapid
ity; but the trombone is the depila
tory instrument par excellence. It
will clear the hair from one’s head in
five years. This is what the author
calls “baldnessof the fanfares,” which
rages with special violence among reg
imental bands.—Scientific American.

weight and measure, a small cube of
platinum weighing exactly sixteen
ounces and a bronze yardstick care
fully adjusted to thirty-six inches are
taken out and compared with the same
thing used in the Government Office of
Weights and Measures. These com
parisons are made in the presence of a
company of gentlemen appointed for
the purpose, among whom is the presi

important ceremony is over and the
weights are found to be accurately ad
justed, the two precious pieces are
again walled up, not to be disturbed
again for twepty years. The last time
they were taken out was in April, 1892,
so it will be 1012 before they will be

American Corn in Europe.
The very causes which are work
ing to create a demand from abroad
for American wheat will bring about
also a brisk call for American corn.
Not without substantial result has
been the missionary work carried on in
foreign lands on behalf of our Indian
corn. We exported no less than 178.-
817,117 bushels of corn and corn meal
in the last year of record. Now that
there is certain to be an advance in the
cost of wheat food products abroad the
advantages of Indian corn, much
cheaper than wheat as it will be, can
not fail to find special appreciation.
The larger the use of our corn abroad
this year the greater the demand from
Europe is likely to be the year follow
ing, and this, as a matter of course,
will mean money for American farm
ers. There is no doubt as to their
ability to provide a generous corn sup

were included in the nation’s output of
this staple crop last year. —Boston

A Cow With a Wooden Leg.
Director-General E. C. Lewis, of the
Tennessee Centennial, who owns a
farm at Sycamore, Tenn., had a very
valuable Jersey cow that in some way
or other broke her left hind leg. Be
cause of certain feelings of sentiment,
he was very loath to shoot her if It
could possibly be avoided.
Major Lewis called in a surgeon and
had the leg amputated, and then a car
penter carefully fitted a wooden leg t®
the stump.. It healed readily, and in a
very short time the cow could get
around as well as any animal on the
place.
Peggy lived for several years after
losing her leg and died only a month
ago. She would, when things did not
go just right, stand on her three good
legs and kick everything within reach
with her artificial member.

There arc- two critical and even dangciona
periods in female life, when tho greatest
care is necessary.

hood to womanhood; if through ignorance
or neglect this mysterious development ia
interfered with or thwarted, even in the
smallest degree, they are liable to sema
malady frequently proving most serious,
such us hysteria, lits or even consumption s
While at the second period, called “Chang®
of life,” there is often much distress and
danger. At both thc&o periods of life Dr.
Simmons Squaw Vine Wino is invalu
able, and it is recommended that a dose of it
bo taken twice a week for some time, be

and for strengthening the system wa
