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.

'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

The Secretary of the Treasury has pT
pared a pamphlet in regard to the volu i
of money in circulation. It shows th
the amouot iu circulation July 1, 186
was $714,702,995. Of this omou
$4539, 702,995 was paper money. Ilurii
the calendar year 1865 the average mi
ket price of gold wes 157. So it
quired $157 in currency to purchase
much of any commodity as could l>e pi
chased with $100 in gold. The $71
702,995 theu in circulation was, the
fore, equivalent as an average for
year to only $646,801,270 of the itioi
which has constituted the currency
this country since January 1, 1879. 1
was an amount per capita of $13.36. 1

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

"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

ne ship's equilibrium.
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.

FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
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. That is, it may bo used i
banking or be let by the State actiu
through a bureau of finance to indivi*
uals on such securities as a prudent Y>ai
now takes for loans. Ills plan is for eai
State to hold a percentage of this ci
- uals and corporations; that each St:
shall fix by law a reasonable rate of iu>
est, not above 5 per cent , and by h
name,the securities on which the bure
of fintneo shall lend, the percentage
value to be lent and time; that lana shi
lie one of the securities, and that en<
State shnll lend on its own product
For instance, Georgia's great produ
being cotton, it should be security or cr
1st tend under proper and safe condition
wheat and coru being the chief produc
r of Kansas, Iown, etc., they should lei
on these products Norwood contcin
1 that when money can draw to itself

s miuing, etc., it will go there, ami th
,1 all the natural resources of the State w
;1 he developed aud its wealth increased
s the benefit of every citizen, where
n hanking produces no wealth nud benef
i- o,nly the few who receive the dividew
it Norwood took Georgia and Kansas to
r- Iustrate what can be done under his
n- State should set asido not lens fl
to 10 per cent, of the legal tenders to ]i
tie tcct its own citizens against tinaui
it- crises and squeezes. Georgia could
at crease her hanking capital $10,000,
a. and lend $30,000,000 on long time,
o- forest payable semi-annually, to indiv
lie uals and corpor tious who have valun
of mines to he developed and who desire
:f- build cotton factories, to mauufactui
'a of wooden wares and iron; in short,
>el bring into activity and use her nati
ier resources, which are incalculable i
at which have lain untouched for twci
ice live years only because her people li
er- had no money to work with. With $
0,- 000,000 thus lent by the State at 5
ng cent she would receive annually one
ng lion, tive hundred thousand dollars it
i to tercst. With that she could cstabli
arc sinking fund of $500,000 per annum,
of- in twenty years piy off her funded <

y ,n rowers from the State, would get
'PX" received in tho loan as low int<
">v. would thus take the place of taxpr
ory. Kansas could lend to her citizens al
mY or three per cent, and then they <
ft,ev lift the present mortgage debt of f
i to 000,000, due mainly to the East, ni
lies; same time put interest money cc
^UD* in the State treasury to relieve tiieni
?f State taxation. He contends that i
wcr; the monet that can be borrowed is i
^20,- Eastern States, it is practically useli
J25,- the South and West. Under the s
he advocates the money and sccui it;

I most He contends that the present b

lo the on But on* class of securities?C
wood- ment bonds; second, that it is mo
ind of f*l? being fashioned on the plan
mnk- Bank of England during the first <
opiate of existence; and, third, th
joi in banking system is no-, based on m
steady c?lP? but on paper credit. The
istural system rests on iho Oovernment's
whereas his proposed system wou
on coin in the treasury sufficient to meet
all demands of foreign commerce and domestic
trade.
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.

that Alliance vote among the farmer*- Ta '
I Kansas is increasing but slowly since last
year. 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.

we have 4,000,?<00 members."
"Ami you expect to have a National
ticket in '02? Who will lead it?"
"O, Lord, I don't know. Some farmer
now unheard of may spring up and
prove himself the right man for the place.
I .lust at present the only men in sight are
, Weaver and Polk."
