Mrs. Potter Palmer has called upon women sculptors to send designs in tho form of miniature models of the sculpture work for the women's building. The designs must be delivered to Mrs. Palmer's office before November 15 next.

The 'A second design of groups of statuary stands free above the attic cornice, resting on the base, five feet long, throe foot deep and two feet high, sixty feet from the ground. These groups consist of a central wincred figure, standing about ten feet high to the tip of the winga,ani upported by smaller sitting figure). The compositions should be typical of woman and woman's work in history. Each design submitted must be accomplished by an estimate of cost, with full-sized plaster models, delivered at Jackson Park, and the authoress of the design accepted will receive the contract for the execution of these full-sized models. :.? l , , ,?l i - In no other dopartmeut of the World's ^ ^^ will thwe be * dazzling array of diamonds, opals, pmersrtds ao^ other gems, ' ?nd of the precious metals, but a most extensive collection of iron, copper, lead, other orea, and of their product; of coal, granite, marble, sandstone and othei . building stone; of soils, salt, petroleum, aid, Indeed, of almost everything, useful or beautiful, belonging to the mineral kingdom.

So it quired $157 in currency to purchase much of any commodity as could l>e pi chased with $100 in gold.

" j New York Citt, [Special.]?Chas. Q. ? Loeber, a German has invented an air- ? ship that (rill go. ^ Unlike Dost other experimenters, Mr. b Loehcr ha*discarded the idea that in or- it d* r to floaty the air a vessel must be lighter tjuici' the air it displaces. He s claims t^beAU?to float a body of any r / ??e J||l in the nil which has hitherto been unnb- i b rved by all scientists. Anthcxis I call it. ' Anthexls is really the energy of existence, t It cannot be used as a motive power, but | merely as apower of tupport. By means j of nnthexsis I can raise my own body into i the air and by using the ordinary meaos of locomotion move around in it at will." i (lUrL.t II * ? t? u(ii w BuviiuAiot (ujikcu iue re|iuncr? "It is ahatti thing to explain," replied i'PWftolt* IhaflfUx."* and we have learned how to apply it, but we do not know just what it is. The birds koow how to use anthcxis. Have you never seen a awallow or a seagull floating in the air without moving its wings? It is supported by that energy of res'stance in tho air that I call anthcxis. In form the ship is an elongated oval. The prow is a cigar-shaped aud the steru almu.t flat. The base is formed of two hollow cylinders, which it may rest evenly on the earth. The principal feature of the ship is the wings. These wings are to be made of thin steel plates ana extend out on either side just like the wings of a beette. 1 hey are not to be used as a motive power, but merely to give support to. the ship in its flight. Their use is precisely simi'ar to that of the wings of a seagull when floating through tho air, i's wings extended motiinncss on each side Just how | j nvent?C*?^t *88^ 'rfflffcHJ HNt. These wings are the ship is rising they are!owB?|ha few degrees,and when they ship is deceuding they are raised, so as to afford th^lcast possible rcsistence to the air, wh?Fatill serving to maintain ~r-r J COLD WEATHEk In the Southwest?Frost in Half a Dozen States. ti.o Woathor RurMMi furnishes the fol lowing special bulletin to the Press: The weather repoits from the Southwest including the States of Louisiana, Texan, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, Southern Missouri and Southern Kansa*, show nn occurrence there Wednesday and Thursday of the coldest weather of the season of which the Weather has recorded. . iinmrtiutn temperatures withftbefr relation to tho lowest previously'observed during the first decade of Octol>er, viz: On the 7th, Oklahoma 8J deg, 4 degrees below.

The motive power is another secret of fr. Loeber. "When you disturb the equilibrium of he air," said he, "you cause motion, ^ow, I have found out how to apply hat motion by leverage, and so obtain notive power for my ship. Steam en;ines are necessary for that purpose. I dace them in the middle of my air-ship, nd by working them properly I disturb he equilibrium of a sufficient amount of ir to run the ship at a rate of 300 miles n hour. Leverage is all I need, an 1 I iave discovered how to obtain it from he disturbed equilibrium of the air. fy motive power is cntbely pneumatic, iut steam engiues arc needed to produce t." In the perspective drawing of the airhip three hotes will be noticed at the tvay he obtains his motive ppwor is this: I nc steam engines pump air front the sides of the ship ani force it out in a powerful stream behind. This would probably give more effective means of motion than au ordinary propeller, as all the slip of tlu air on the blades of the screw propeller would he overcome. The ship is steered with an ordinary rudder. "The great beauty of my ship," says Mr. Loeherj "is jta perfect security. It clone that ever blew and be not moved from its course. Authcxis will support it under all circumstances. By adjusting the wings a little and by nppl.ing the power of disturbing the atmospheric equilibrium in a judicious u nnner >hc course may be kept without diverging one point of the compass, or the ship enn soar over the top of a cyclouc if the captain prefers it. The possibilities are il limitable. As an engine of destruction in time of war, just think of it. It would revolutionize warfare. I believe it w ould put end to it. I intend it as a ship of pea^Rmd not an engine of dcstrin tion." The perspective view / , drawn from n sketch made by Mr. 1/ ,l>er from his designs, and is intendp^ to show how the ship will look when flying at a rntc of 800 miles an Hour over the country. Th reilings around the top arc a bulwark to prevent people from falling off into space. They surround n sort of promenade deck the plTOT house. The capfain and pilot will tak^ their stnnds there and will direct the movements of the ship by pressing electric buttons communicating with the CDgine room. They will steer with a wheel such as is used on ordinary seagoing ships. ????l I ? J - * A Healthy Industrial Growth Based on Natural Advantages.

Ex-Senator Norwood Offers a Substi tute for the Sub-Treasury Bill. He Proposes the Creation of a Billion and a Half of Paper Money to be Distributed to the States and Loaned to the Citizens. Thomas M. Norwool, Ex-United States Senator of Georgia, by invitation of t?;c Legislature of that State to address them on the Alliance sub-treasury plan, spoke at Atlanta a few days ago on the general question of the finances and currency of the Uuitcd States. He advirT* * plan of banking that is new. |jlc j hjU thcjccc tern t,r tl arrjinnw and in tne nanas of a few persons is des'ructive to th? West and South, and will finally destroy the Eastern States. It produces congestion in one part of our poliiical body and paralysis in the other parts. His plan is in brief, for Congress to direct its Secretary of the Treasury to prepare a sufficient number of legal tender notes of convenient denominations, which, ndded to the existing currency, will give thirty, forty. or fifty dollars per capita. These note* arc to be receivable for all debts and dues except duties on imports. They are so be redeemed by th ! United States Government on presentation at the treasury or at sub-Irons uries estab ished at convenient cities. The treasurer shall hold at least 25 pet cent, of the issue in coin, gold and silver, to redeem the notes, that being enough and as much as banks now hold for re demption purposes. The percentage of coin, however, can lie regulated by ex pcriencc. He proposes to re-adjust nnd measurably equalize the circulation of the currency in this wav; ^Kach State on amount which ndded to its existing circulation will make the amount | or enpiti decided on hy Congress. The hanking capital in each State is to'he the standard for ascertaining its circulation, unless n better can be devised. To illustrate: Georgia's population in round numbers is 2,(100,000. The amount per capita fixed by Congress for the whole populatiot being $10, Georgia would he entitled tc eighty million dollars, but her present banking capital being thirty millions that sum must be deducted and lerquoti of legal tenders would be fifty millions The ratable amount of circulation he pro nose* rhall bo used by each State accord leg as the people of the State shall dt termine.

Norwood's substitute for the Alliance sub-treasury plan avoids Federal action. Each State lends to farmers on land and on its own especial products at low inter?st. Thus lie says he establishes equality for nil and shows favoritism to none. Ha contends that his plan obviates every objection hitherto made to the Alliance subtreasury plat, ana gives inrmcrs suro relief. es the allotment of currency ho proposes not only equalize) it if lent by States as the States' volume of currency, but thus distributed will remain permanent in each State, because the State being the lender and ihc principal being lent to its citizens it must return to the State with interest as the principal falls due.

The principal gains have been in the cities and towns where the Citizens' Alliance has been hard at work this year. He estimates the increase at 20 per cent, over last year. Speaking of the negroes in the South he said: "They are flocking to us in the South. I believe that this movement is the solution of the race problem. It divides the colored as well as the white vote of the South. If it does nothing else it will do that much good at least. The old fight between the blacks and the whites will he broken; the blacks will take issue with each other in politics the same as the whites. That's what they ought to do. The lines are closer drawn in the South than here. Everything divides on the sub-treasury scheme. It is cither endorsed or opposed by every man in the South.
