Aerlnl Ex|Wrlmentii.

Tho kite, which has so long served as a toy for boys, has lately received attention from mechanicians, who find it a means of applying and verifying formulas relating to the resistance of tho air and thus contributing to tho solution of tho problem of flight.

Mr. J. Fillet, of the Paris Poly technic school, lias recently presented to tho French Association for tho Advancement of Science a theory as to tho equilibrium of the kite. The elements to be considered are—ite weight its plane surface tho position of its center of gravity, which has been found,to very near tho lower extremity tho confer of tho wind's pressure, and tho point of attachment of the string. .'••IfiW

The kite with which Mr. Pillot has been experimenting ban superficial area of 85 squnro yards. Tho frame weighs ISO jxmiuls and tho canvas and cords 1W pounds. Two cords maneuvered from tho earth and connected with the two extremities of tho vertical line passing through the geometric center of the kite give tho proper inclination, according to the velocity of "the wind. Two assistants prevent a lateral inclination. With the kite a weight of ISO pounds has l*vn lifted 33 foot. AVhother anything of value is to bo elicited from these exIH'i inumtoJ tho future can alone discover. So far ail aerial experiments have failed to enable us practically to navigate the air.

New Weather Signal System. On March 1, 18S7, a nov system of government weather signals will lo adopted for general use at local and volunteer display stations. It is a white flag for clear or fair weather a square blue Hag for rain or snow a triangular black flag for temperature, to bo hoisted alovo tho other flag for higher temperature, below for lower temperature, and a square white flai, with square black ccntcr, for cold wave, as now used. When suspended from a horisontal pole or rope a small whito streamer will be used to indicate tho end from which the flags are to bo read.

E*?VEYED SUFFERERS IN A. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

The Pine and the Maple—"Of That Fair Kingdom None Can Enter in, Without Ttecomlng First Utile Child"—Charade—"Incurable." in the large cities the hospitals for sick poor have wards set apart for children alone. Some of the little ones have never had a kind word, a clean bed or a taste of nice food in their wretched lives until they got them in the hospital. Therefore the hospital, cruel as toe treatment must sometimes be, is like a giimpee of paradise to them. Mrs. M. L. Hayne writes of a child's hospital that she visited:

If yon have never been in the children's ward of a great hospital go there and learn from these little ones how to "suffer and be strong."

All day long they lie there, weeks, nay months, at a time, suffering from painful distss.se or fractured limbs, yet they will greet you with a smile, though no wave of color will suffuse the deadly whiteness of cheek and brojv, and the tiny form quivers in the grasp of cruel pain. They lio there in the cool, clean wan! on sweet, white cots, with no yesterdays to remember and no to-morrows to welcome. They live only day by day, and their happiest hour is that in which "He giveth His beloved sleep."

There can be no more pathetic sight in the world than this. Here is the insignia of suffering in the pulleys which straighten tlio deformed limbs. This little boy with the white face and pale, transparent hands is wound with the surgeon's bandages and supported by these appliances of medical skill. But the doctors know that he is incurable. There aro toys near him, but he has no heart to plaj

These is no greater source of discomfort to a married couple than fundamental difference of faith. Tho less important differences .•tmong Protestants may be more easily gotten over than those between Protestant and Catholic. Indeed the Roman clergy are loath to grant permission for such marriages, well knowing tho frequent causes for trouble.

If both parties have a natural wisdom, it is a great advantage in this as in all other differences, but when the problem of education of the children resulting from what we called mixed marriages arises, the most Christian wisdom ami forbearance may not serve to Uuiish dianasion.

BOOK THIEVES' WATS.

GENERALLY MONOMANIACS AND PILFERERS WITHOUT REASON.

Chat With a Boston Ubrarlan—A Clever Thief—Valuable Part of a Library. Safeguards Which are Adopted—Mutilation by Picture Cranks. "Boston people aro exceptionally honest in (he bundling of books ,n sail one of the assistant librarians to a reporter at the Boston public library yesterday. "In New York mvi cities abroad librarians and dealers have to exercise much greater precaution to protect their books than in Boston. At the Astor library in New York, for instance, an officer is stationed at the door to inspect people as they pass in and out. Ho sees that book3 withdrawn by patrons of the library are properly charged, and permits nobody to leave the building with a book or parcel that is not accounted for according to the methods of tho library. If you go in there with a book that is your personal property you must have itjchecked at tho door, or deposit it there until you go away again. This is, of course, to prevent anybody from substituting a cheap book of his own for a valuable number in the library. We have not had to adopt such severe measures in Boston, however, and I do not think it will ever be necessary. "You do occasionally lose books, do you notf "Oh, yes but the loss is not of sufficient consequence to justify us in restricting the advantages of the library by more stringent regulations. The numerous marks by which our books can be identified make successful pilfering very difficult. Each book, as you have probably noticed, has a large printed Label on tho inside of each cover, a number and a shelf label on the back, and the seal of tho library stamped in raised letters on the title page and in various parts of tho volume. Wo had some trouble a while ago in detecting a thief who had conducted his operations very cleverly. Having withdrawn a book he soaked off tho various labels and transferred them to their respective places on a worthless book, which ho in due time passed in at the returning counter. It was put in its proper place on the shelf, nnd nothing was known of tho trick until somebody called for the same book. It was then discovered, of course, that a transfer had been made, and steps were taken to recover tho missing prdperty. It was eventually found in tho possession of tho thief. He had been afraid to offer it for salo, becauso ho co\ild not erase the marks of the library seal

VULNERABLE ART OF A LIBRARY "The mo3t vulnerable part of the library is, naturally, the reference shelves. Books on these shelves cannot bo guarded as thoso lot out by card, and renewals are now and then necessary by reason of losses from theft. Perhaj)s the most remnrkablo case of book stealing on record occurred hero when, on tho same day, somebody walked off with our Worcester's and Webster's unabridged dictionaries. Wo puzzled considerably over the problem of how it was dono, and concluded that two trips must havo been mado, and that the book was held open against tho thief's chest, and concealed by a loose overcoat." "Does your experienco show that book thieves aro generally monomaniacs?" "As a rule they aro. The book thief is osually unable to show any adequate reason for pilfering. Sometimes he is an enthusiast on a certain subject, and strives to accumulate a special library but in cases of this kind tho thief is generally rich enough to pay for all the books ho wants. Again, a man will steal a book without any idea of its nature, apparently being overcome with a desiro to steal, and taking tho first book ho can lay his hands on. "Eminently respectable people, professional men, are sometimes caught in the act. A remarkable cose was that concerning a justice on tho supreme bench of Massachusetts, an old story, but being a true one, worth repeating. This gentleman was very old and possessed of a mania for collecting funeral sermons. He purposed to bestow his collection upon the college from which he graduated. Ho went nosing about in libraries, searching among the pamphlets. No one over thought of watching him, he stood so highly in the community. One day he was examining a lot of pamphlets bound together, and somebody heard him rip and tear tho volume. After he had gone an investigation was made and it was found that a funeral sermon had been abstracted. A note was sent to him requesting the return of the missing pamphlet, and it is hardly necessary to .say that tho sermon

can know of the spring:

They freshen and sweeten the ward like the waft of an angel's wing. The youngest child tn the children's hospital, and the most precious invalid of them all, is a wee morsel of a baby that has found there a temporary home. It is only a little forlorn waif that just drifted in with the other flotsam and jetsam from the sea of humanity, but the children love it, and there will be sorrow in the ward when it is adopted into either life or death.

The good citizens of the world who established the children's hospital "budded better than they knew." It was a happy thought to care for the least of one of these poor and hclptes ones, and such a monument of heavenly compassion reaches nearer the shining lights than the proudest personal manorial of carved marble that was ever designed. Surely these will be heirs

Of that fair kingdom none can enter in. Without becoming first a little child.

back by the next maiL It was further found that his collection contained quito a number of pamphlets stolen in a similar way, but the discovery ended his eminent pilfering BO far as is known."

THIEVING REDUCED TO A MINIMUM. There are 30,000 volumes in the stato library, a largo collection when it is considered that it includes no fiction. It is invaluable as a reference library and is used for this purpose exclusively. No books aro taken out and there is no red tape in the management. Tho visitor names the book ho desirca to consult, and a courteous attendant

brings

it to him without a card or formality of any kind. The rules of the institution aro very g?rpplfi requiring that the visitor behave well, let the shelves alone, and refrain from mutilating the books. In spite of this ap* parent lack of precaution Librarian Tillinghast regards the danger from thieving reduced to a minimum. "Iam in tho library almost all the time," he "and tho assistants are always busy about tho room. People who consult tho books are right under our eyes all tho time, and when it is necessary we exercise especial watchfulness. Moreover, there are certain safeguards that I will not detail, but which aocure as amply. The labels and stamps amount to almost nothing, for they aro tho first things a thief would remove or cover up. Private marks, inconspicuous to tho general reader, hot dear as day to tho librarian, aro Toy important. Another thing in oar favor is the ftyt that the rotation of the books from the shelves to consulting tables is so rapid. Almost, any book would bo quickly missed, so groat is the call and so limited the number. "Tho great®* danger to which libraries are subject from their patrons," continued Mr. Tillinghast, "is mutilation by picture cranio, I mean men wbohavea passion far collecting portraits or engraving You can't trata biography or magarinw with them, first fhhtg you know they will tear out a page containing a picture, map or some kind of 0fotfrajirm- Of course I do not mean to say that all collector* of engravings are inclined to acts of vandalism, bat it is a fact that with many of them the passion is so strong as to overcome all scruples of bouesty or propriety. Yon cannot catch them at it either, except by a, locky accident, jtad unle« caught hi tho act they can never bo convicted.—BostonQloba.

What Is Meant by **Pore Milk?" New pure milk—what does that mean Here Is one gentleman who has always thought that that meant no water above a certain proportion. It means that each producer should have such milk, but it means a great deal more. It means, in the first place, that the cows should be healthy. It means, in the next place, that the cows should breathe fresh air. It means, in the next place, that they should drink pure water, and nothing but pure water. It means, in the next place, that the stable should bo kept clean and thoroughly ventilated all the while, and that before milking the stable should be cleaned out and fresh sand brought in and the stable thoroughly aired. It means that the milk rhould be drawn from tho cow as speedily as possible and taken into pure air and strained, and then set into cold water, and tho animal heat and animal odor then taken out as quickly as possible. It means even more than that. I think the milk should be aerated —that is, it should be brought to the pure air as soon as possible.—W. Rowell at Farmers' Meeting, Boston.

Native Christians In Africa. A detailed account of the massacre of native Christians of Uganda, Africa, by the order of "K"inft Mwanga, shows that the massacre began in June, and was directly due to the refusal of a Christian lnd, acting as the king's page, to commit an abominable crime. Many Christians were tortured, mutilated and speared, and thirty-two were burned alive together. The appeals of the missionaries for a cessation of the atrocities were unavailing. The fate of these unfortunates, however, did not serve to frighten candidates for baptism, and within a week after the massacre many natives were baptized at their own desire. Leaflets containing extracts from the Scripture, prayers and hymns, in the Uganda language, aro freely bought by the people, although their possession involves danger of punishment.—Frank Leslie's.

Stepping on a Sore Toe.

The agony of having a person tramp on a sore foot is only known to those who have experienced it. I was on an elevator in the German-American block tho other day when a man with a corpulent cans limped on. At the next floor another passenger stopped aboard, and the first move ho mado was to put his foot on the toes of tho man with the disabled foot. It must havo hurt terribly, for the man grew instantly pale, while a person could see the muscles of the cheeks contract as ho gritted his teeth. But he held his temper, and when tho finely-dressed, largo-footed nmn said: "Aw, I beg pardon," he replied: "Aw, don't mention it it's only aw cork leg, y'kuaw."—Pioneer Press "Listener."

Twenty-six years ago Miss Emily Hoffman, one of the richest bollos of Baltimore, while visiting out west, mot and fell in love with Gen. McPhcrson, and they became affianced. The general was engaged in the war and could not spare timo for tho wedding besides the well-known southern sympathies of the Hoffmanswas another cause of the postponement of tho wedding. Tho dark days of strife continued, and the general fell in battle, with tho miniature of liis sweetheart pressed to his breast. The lady never recovered from the shock and regularly visits the statue of her hero.—Washington Cor. Philadelphia News. ^v

u1 Workers in Clay in School, I wish to say a few words in regard to the moldiug of clay in tho public schools of the city. I wonder if parents know tho danger that their children are subjected to by this method? This clay is cut in small pieces and given them to mold into any shape the teacher may suggest: when they have finished that operation those same bits of clay are all put together into one loaf for another day. This samo material is used week after week with the accumulated dirt and perspiration of hundreds of little hands. Now, can any one tell me what surer way there is of spreading cutaneous diseases among the pupils, such as itch, salt rheum, etc. Now, this tho small children of the public schools of this city are obliged to do. If we have any sculptors in smbryo among us let them bo brought out in some other way. I, for ono, protest against tho method.—Mother in Chicago Herald.
