THE MACHINE
REALLY FLEW;
Ohio Men Made Successful
Trial. ^
BOX KITE PLAN.
It Made Eight Miles an
Hour.
An Engine Furnished the Motive Power
and No Balloon Was Used?Was
Easily Controlled.
Norfolk, Va., Doc. 18 ?A successful
trial of a Hying ninchino was madd yes
terday near Kitty Hawk, N. C, by
Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton,
O. The machine flew for three miles in
the faco of a wind blowing at the reg
istered velocity of 21 miles an hour and
then gracefully descended to earth at
tho spot selected by the uion in the
navigator's car as a suitable landing
place. Tho machine has no balloon at
tachment, but gets its forco from pro
pellers worked by a small engine.
Preparatory to its flight the machine
was placed upon a platform near Kitty
Hawk. This platform was built on a
high sandhill and when all was In
readiness the fastenings to the machino
wore released and it started down an in
cline. Tho navigator, Wilbur Wright,
then started a small gasoline engine
which worked tho propellers. When
the end of tho incline was reached the
lr.nchiuo gradually rose until it ob
tained an altitude of GO feet. In the
faco cf the strong wind blowing, it
maintained an oven speed of eight
miles an hour.
Tho idea of tho box kite has been ad
hored to in tho basic formation of the
flying machino.

E'oll?ived Directions.
A clergyman in New Jersey hired a
man to net in the capacity of coachman
and gardener. Ono'day the clcrgymau
bought :t bottle of horse liniment and
toltl tho man to apply It to a lame horse
according to tho directions on the bot
tle.
About an hour afterward he went to
the barn and found Silas Industriously
dipping a spike into the liniment and
then rubbing it against tho horse's leg.
"What nrc you doing that for?" ho
asked.
The man looked up with a sinlle of
assurance. "Because," saitl he, "'twas
what It said In tho directions on the
bottle, but it's slow work '
"You must have made mistake,"
said the minister.
"1 have not," answered the man in
an nggrlovcd tone. "It says here on the
bottle. 'Apply Avith a large nail or
tooth brush,' and, as 1 bad no tooth
brush, 1 thought I'd better use this
spike."

of ants is their memory. The number
of ants that go to make a nest Is enor
mous, yet they arc all personally known
to each other and are able to I'GCOgulzo
members of their own community aft
er a prolonged absence. Sir .lohn Lub
bock kept one of these remarkably in
telligent insects from its homo for a
yenr. On its return tho relatives from
whom It had been so cruelly separated
recognized their wanderer and welcom
ed it back, while an ant introduced
from nnolher nest was most inhospi
tably treated, even murdered and
thrown out.

Seth W. Scruggs of Spartauburg,

cold bad completely disappeared and I
