"In looking over a New York paper recently I noticed that Edison said * humanity ought to be ashamed of itself for not having solved the problem of aerial navigation," said an observant citizen; "and I guess Edison must be right about it. It would seem that an age of such marvelous achievements along other lines ought to have solved this interesting and important problem. Can't we . do as much as the birds? But I was thinking of the many possibilities which are wrapped .up in this problem, and when we come to think of it the sudden solution of the problem, while it would be of great benefit to humanity, would bring Into exfstence a fair quota of embarrassments. It would change the whole as, pect of the situation in many respects. vf> . ' There would no doubt be balloon eloDPments. and hnt nnrsnifs thrrmc-h the air and "occasionally the fellows who was making away with sonm other fellow's girl would find himself dropping toward the earth at a rather rapid rate. Or, if he should happen J H* ' to be on wings, according to some of the contrivances which have been de- ' bsv - vised, he might lose a few feathers < and fall just the same. "But really, there is a more serious ! way of looking at the possibilities o* jgX the flying machine. Take the criminal classes?*-for instance. What would jT hinder the safe blower, the burglar and tiie murderer from sailing out in- j ?? to the air after the commission of a desperate offense? If they used balloons they could simply cut the lines jp"; - and be gone in a jiffy. If they used any other appliance the result would be the same. They would simply float gp' out into the open air. Policemen would have to wear balloons, else they I would nave to oe provided witn win vs. a rather incongruous thing, when we come to think of it. Yet a policeman with wings moy be one of the things of the future, if inventive genius ever succeeds in solving the problem of aerial navigation. There will be no other way for the minions of the law to pursue the men who commit all kinds of acts against the written law. Many embarrassments might come up. when we come to think of it. in connection with the problem of aerial navigation."?New Orleans TimesItemocrat. FATHERLY FINESSE. ' .

Hor.fcs, q I The waiting stockman had ocarcely j passed friendly greetings with the j squad which had l-idden up from Emu j Creek, wbefi a cloud of black dust \ pushed itself around the bend and i across the road at the turn, and two i big horses shot out of it into the ! straight. "It's a bolt!" shouted 8?ni&. "No?it's a race. Givfc'm thh vbadl It's them two chestnuts settling the j match made up at Cara'iiehael's," cried others. . The thuinp, thump, thump on the level, black prairie indicated the earn- j estness of the contest, and along came j the two horses like a physical eyelOrt& I With a snort and whish they fcfiOt gasl | the waiting crowd, who mingled a yell j with the dust as they passed. The cloud had barely cleared bphihil them when the chestnut cantered back and were joined by the incongruous jumble of hackneys, cobs and piebalds of all sorts, the mounts of the stockmen gathered for the brumby drive, at which half the country side j was expected. "What is the ekact ftittire of a brumby drive?" asked Burnaby, a newcomer, or one of the older men. "It's a sort o' rough horse frolic for us bush coves," the bushman explained politely, and seeing that the atrnager did not understand, b<> 'continued: "Mclntyre's leased the Range from the gove'nmeat. It's wild crown lands on th' maps, an' them flats .an' scrubs !s full o' brumbys, which 're a no-bred I sort o' wild horses that no Olle don't 1 know how they got here.

In such a hazardous and rapid conflict his pursuers who do not come down or suffer in the encounter must be daring and accustomed horsemen. As the line ol mounted men strung around the base of the mountain to ; the northeastern extremity, the trained bush eye could discern a big forest rising 011 the horizon miles away towards the treeless creek. 'There they are, watering, as I ' said," observed McCuidy, pointing to the north. Taking his nickel-plated watch from its leather pocket at his side en his waiststiap and looking at it. he continued, "and it's 10:15. Them j coves'll be in coo-ee in another quar- | ter. Bail up a minute, mates," the j leader called to the line behind him. "I don't see anything." said the | stranger, withdrawing his tired eye3 I from the shimmering main, "except j the lake out there and the forest be- j yond it." A burst of iaughter about him I greeted this observation. ' The merriment was understood by ; the visitor when a drover said: "You ain't used t' dry plains much, ; mate.

"That white glimmer is not water; j il is the hot air, and the evaporation ; from the earth. Look back. It is I everywhere the same. See?" "I can see the shadows of the trees ; reflected in the water beneath them." | replied the visitor, with the persis- i ter.ee of a jackaroo and a growing ! suspicion that he was being made a j butt of by the mischievous stockmen, j "You see reflections, it is true, but j those are not trees, and that is not ! water." said Meiotyre.

"Hear *ra, Tom?" asked MetntyrA-. "Yes; at the enrfteb." Th? call sounded a^alii and the echo cam* taudri- along the bluff.

With another shoving whoop, and the flurry of the big stallion's chase, and the dogs nagging at their heels, the diScoilcerted bunch headed 5Ut after Tom and the pursuing steed.

One card - dGnotes danger, and that the cab must be hahuled with Care Until it is unloaded and placed upon the repair tracks. Another card denotes the condition of the air brakes.

No one can well doubt that the car repairers are skilled workmen. They must be able to discern checks on a wheel and know that eventually it may mean a crat-k wnlch will develop into a broken wheel. A broken wheel, in turn, may mean a fearful wreck. When a man begins as a car repairer he must first work about the repair track with some one who is experienced, and before he learns perfectly every part of the trade Should spend; perhaps, two or three years; It would seem that these men would receive big pay, but they do not get as milch as in many of the other departments.

Ill CVliiV pui tkj Vi. the eastern aid central states they get but 15 1-2 cents an hour, while the switchmen of the same locality get in the neighborhood of 25 cents an hour. This the repairers believe Is a bit unjust, and they are now in some sections of the country asking that their wages be raised. Of late there has been a tendency to change the plan of this work to that of piecework, but the change has not yet been in effect .ong enough for the man to feel just sure how they like it. By the piecework plan they are paid a certain scale rate for each separate bit of work they do. For example, if there is to be a sill put into a car the workman is paid the scale rate for placing sills. The questions which arise, however, relate to whether he is to be paid for the extra work he must do in tearing away timbers and boifs in a disabled car prior to putting in the new sill. In some instances this would require a long time; in other instances not so long. Wrecking crews are usually stationed at two or three points on a division. There is usually one large steam wrecker, with a lifting capacity of 50 tons, and then there will be one or two hand-wreckers. The men on these wreckers receive the same wages as car repairers who work on the repairs tracks, except that for extra time the men on the wreckers receive about 20 cents an hour. The average wrecker carries a crew of 12 men. These, of course, arc skilled in their particular line. The modern machinery with which they work is marvelous in many lespects. Every one is familiar with the remarkably short time that is re; quired to clear a track in this day. j That which would require but a few j hours now would have taken several i days a quarter-century ago. The average American railroad sysj tern employs se\eral thousand men in its repair departments alorc. In. \ the big shops of the companies the largest numbers are employed, but .' even in small cities as high as 125 j men will be kept steadily at work, j jj Vnese men are capable of building a car, from the trucks up, with the various parts that are so extensive sometimes after a wreck that the cRr may un said to he rebuiltAt Cbllf'nwbod, fahib, there Has just been hftmblcte'd th'r biggest locomotive repaid Shops in the world, by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway.

THE ROMANCE OF A SQUALL A Tnfthcaf funtalM \V 1: r? T??mnArt a <f*trl i'ccoine* Her Husband. The.lre'scue of a young woman from a capsized sailboat last summer in the bay by the captain and mate of a Providence tugboat has resulted in a romantic wedding. Capt. Warren H. Brown, now of the toxvboat Gaspee, was married Saturday night by the Rev. Charles Dcniield t9 Miss Clara L. Pickering 8f Edgewb'od. wnb owes her lift' to the captain's act: tt was oil the 2d 8! last July. It was Hither stormy; late iti. the day. with thunder;, lightning and squalls, and among the craft that were on the bay was a slooping yacht, in which a party, consisting of J. Walter Pickering, Mrs. Pickering, their two daughters and Agda Johnson and Ethel Tucker, was out on a pleasure trip. When they were off Potter's Cove at Prudence island, the boat Was struck by a squall jlild was capsized: Inhere was a small rowboslt with tlid sailboat, but no oars, and when the accident came the occupants had to take to the bottom of the yacht, as the smaller boat would hold but three, The tvdmeil were ih the cabin when the squall struck them, and it was necessary to break the windows in order to get them out. As the boat would not hold all, and there was a chance of bringing assistance by reaching shore, Mr, Pickering, with the two smaller girls, Miss Tucker and his youngest daughter. Miss Essi?. stared for the shore, paddling the boat with a broom. Tney disappeared in the darkness, leaving Mrs, riCKering ana bne daughter and Miss Johnson lying Upon the boat's side, which was about 18 inches above the surface of the water for about six feet of her length. For four hours they lay clinging to the boat as best they could, with hands that had been badly cut by the jagged edges of the cabin windows. About 10 o'clock the tug Gertrude, with two barges in town, which had left Providence early in the evening, reached the vicinity, and Capt. T. C. Brown thought he heard a faint cry for help. He steered toward the sound and found the women clinging to the boat. They were nearly exhausted and probably could not have hold on more than J5 minutes longer. Capt. Brown called to his mate, and, bringing his boat alongside, jumped from the pilothouse to the deck. A rope was thrown to the women, but they were unable to grasp it, and so William Lawson, a deckhand on the Gertrude, jumped overboard, and brought one of the women to the tug, while the ethers were reached from the deck. They were taken into the hot hitc'nen of the tug and given restoratives and q^changc^ their wet farmc&tf for 6verc6ats And' blankets.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT. That which satiates cannot satisfy. Sweet fruits grow from bitter seed. Righteousness will not como by rote. His need makes another my neighbor. He loses all who is unwilling to lose any. x m? orrnv fmm his own heart. Lights are more important than lamps. The corrupt man cannot be courageous. Every blessing received creates an obligation. Honor looks best on a background of humility. To cultivate a callous heart will not insure calm. It takes a small breeze to raise a storm in a puddle. The oil for the night must be bought in the day. It is a greater thing to prevent a disease than to invent its cure. When a man begins to go down there are always plenty to smooth his way for him. The man who is always figuring where he will come in will find himself cast out at the end.?Ram's Horn. Sabbath Keeping Among Sealers. The sealing laws prohibit any killing on Sunday in deference to a sentiment among a large section of our people against violating the Sabbath, but It is not to be supposed from this that the men enjoy a day of rest. The following literal extract from the log of one skipper, written in all innocence, and published in .the Sf. Johns paper, sheds a luminous reflex tion upon sealing methods: "Qnnrtflv March 25. This being the Lord's day, 110 seals were taken. Crew busy hoisting seals abroad and trimming coal in bunkers."?Leslie's Monthly. IIU Unfortunate Position. "I fear," said the friend, "that you take your wealth too seriously." "Well," answered Senator Sorghum. "I don't know.
