THE TETRAHEDRAL
Dr. Bsll’s Attempted Solution of tho
Problem of Man'* Plying.
It Ih a queer thought that grave and
famous scleutisis sometimes betake
themselves in dead earnest to the
childhood sport of blowing bubbles—
not for sport, but to study some very
dlflicult and hard to understand prob
lems that trouble their learned minds
Perhaps It is even queerer to see a
man whose name is known the world
over for his learning, his Inventions,
his wonderful mind and his earnest
ness In the pursuit of knowledge
ehnsing after u queer looking kite and
noting ils behavior, and doing this, too,
in the most serious manner.
For it is a serious matter, this sci
entific kite flying, and the work us it
is done by Dr, Alexander Graham
Bell, the famous Inventor of the Bell
telephone and dozens of other useful
things. Is a task which he hopes will
some day result In a practical solution
of that most batlling of riddles, how is
man to learn to fly?
That a plane surface of not too great
weight properly held at an angle with
moving air will rise Ju the air and
stay up is n fact known to every boj
who ever begged rags from mother
for the tail of his kite. The problem of
“flying” is to get n kite big enough to
hold a man or men, strong enough to
stand the strain, steady enough to fly
without danger and stable enough to
fly without a eord and to alight with
out destroying IIself.
It would seem that If a kite of, say.
ten square feet surface would lift ten
pounds in a certain wind a kite of
twenty square feet would lift twenty
pounds and thirty square feet thirty
pounds, and so on. But, unfortunately
for this easy solution of the prnbh i
when tv, or mole kites are added e;u-'i
to each they l.iek strength, and to • >
the strength n.t re weight must lx- i

New Bureau to Obtain Work For Both
Americans and Immigrants.
According to Secretary of Com
merce Oscar S. Straus, the division of
Information newly established In hi*
department Is to lie a much more far
reaching Instrument than has been
auppoHcd. It is not merely to aid In
flie distribution of Immigrants, but <
serve as a so.; of government emplo.
meat bureau for American worklm
men.
Mr. P*muB plans contemplate to’
merely the fnrni.diiug i > workingu <
as well as immigrants of information
about where employment may be oh
tained, but the actual obtaining for
them of a promise of employment lx*
fore they leave one part of the conn
try for another. Hitherto R has been
understood that this new bureau was
to serve only ns a means for supplying
immigrants with information.
“The last congress,” said the secre
tary to the X w York Tii:'< s’ Washing
ton correspond,- it the other day, “pro
vlded for a division of information in
connection with the bureau of imml
gration i put at the head of this divi
slou one of the most re >ectod labor
men in 'he country, Terence V. Pow
derly, a man of broad experience a:: '
great ability.
“It is my hope to make this divi. ,i
really helpful to labor In gener.il In
placing such Information before not
only the Immigrants, but the laboring
men throughout the country, as will
enable them to supply the demand for
remunerative labor In every part of
the country.
‘T hope the division will he a kind of
clearing house, so that the wage earn
er may obtain definite employment he
fore mm'.ig from one m* lion of the
country to tho other.”

At Kingston a wedding was almost
spoiled recently by the desire of a
young woman to keep nothing hack
from her lover, says a Washington (Op
special dispatch to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. "me wn • "c* fer ”
wedding, ■ nd i be young v.oman s *1 :
to her intended: “John, I desire to he
frank with you and toll you all before
we gc< married, so that you cannot
blame me for keeping anything back.
I have something to tell you, but I
hate to."
“What Is it. Mary?”
“Oh, I can’t tell! 1 hate to tell you.”
By this time the groom to he was
becoming greatly worried, and he im
agine,1 there was something awful for
him to learn that might make it nec
essary for the engagement to he
broken off.
“Well, but you must tell me right
away. What on earth is it, Mary?"
“If I must tell you, John, I reckon
this iu the time to do it, ns I feel that
you should know all about It before
we get married. For some time I have
been thinking that It was my duty to
tell you that I wear a switch.’’
The news was not so terrible as John
had imagined, but be asked, “What do
you want to do—break the engage
ment?” They talked the matter over
and concluded to get married, switch
or no switch, and they did.
In January, 1849, one year after the
first discovery of gold In Callforlna,
there were 10,000 men mining there.
