Scatter salt thickly over the place and sweep it and the soot to- oathar. By so doing the spot will come up quite cleanly without leav- ing any mark at all. Wicker Furniture.---This should be cleaned with a strong solution of salt and water. Scrub it well, and rinse with fresh water. Soap should not be used to wicker as it encoyrages a yellow tint. When very shabby-looking, wicker may be "freshed by being painted. The paint used should be well mixed and thinned to the proper consist- ency. If too thick it is apt to re- main on the wicker in lumps.

In 1625. Fley 2 stately German' professor fiom Tubingen, published a lecture'. on aerial flight which inspired an am- bitious monk with the desire to re- duce the theory to practice; and he too broke both his legs. And so of many others Albert of Saxony, an Augustinian monk, in his commentaries on Aris- totle maintained, says the Rev. M. T. Schwertner in the Dominican Year Bock, that since fire is lighter than air it would be possible to be carried upward if a sufficient quan- tit- of this ethereal substance Could e ENCLOSED IN A GLOBE. And Francis Mendoza, a Portuguese Jesuit, in 1628 embraced this theory as did also his German confrere, Caspar Schott; both, however,-ad- ded some original observations of | their own which are not without! worth, at least for the history of: science. But it was only in 1670 that the first real scient'fic approach to a solution of the problem was given to the world in the "Prodromo dell' of an ftalian who came to Scot! land A i fort.

This would-amply suffice to lift the four iballs in the air, and with them a boat and sails, which latter would serve as propellers. Of course it was soon pointed out that no globe of the desired size and thickness could be constructed sufficientiy strong to support weight, nor yet to sustain the en-" ormous preseure of the globes from within and the atmospheric pres- sure from. without. And so the, theory was rejeeted. It is only in| our day that Lana has i the | full meed of praise to which he is eptitled for his sound principles STARTLING ORIGINALITY. No other written discussion on aeronautics worth mentioning fol- lowed upon that of Lana until 1783 when Joseph Galien published an anonymous brochure of eighty-sev- en pages on this subject at Avignon. By some curious fate Galien has been set down as a Jesuit by so sharp a bibliographer as eis Sommervogel, the continuer of the De Backer brothers' history of the writerssof the Society of Jesus. Galien was born in 1699 at St. Paulien, in southern France. He entered the Dominican Ordet at Le Puy. not far from his home, an studied philosophy and theology at Avignon with such success that as early as 1726 we find him professor of the former i+ the convent of Bordeaux. For two years he taught the same subject in the University of Avignon, and later on was pro- fessor of theology tor four years in the same plac He published some learned works on philosophical subjects, and also a brochure on electricity which de- serves to be studied at this day as one of the first and ablest discus- sions of the question. In 1755 he '}ished anonymously a work on meteors, hailstorms and aerial na- vigation, which work he himself styled an "amusement physique et geometrique.' But he was taken cuite seriously by his centemporar- ies. so much so that two years Jat- er he re-edited this work over his own name, under the caption ° 'The Art of Sailing in the Air.' He must have possessed an i!limit- able fund of humor, for this second edition did not pretend to be any- thing else than a mere FANCIFUL SPEC TON. In the preface of this work he gives us a dissertation on hailstcrms| which contains some shrewd obser- vations. Then he treats of his air- ship.

My father--A term of inti- macy and affection. It does not, however, fully describe the relations between Jehoram and the prophet. Elisha was unlike his great prede- cessor in the close connection which existed between his work and the political and military forturies of his people. For the most part, this particular king, though greatly in- dektted to Elisha, was lacking courtesy to him, and their relations at times were far from cordi e desire of Jchoram to smite these foes is doubtless a true picture of the man--an ungenerous, tempor izing persop, who was ready to) fawn on anyone who was able to do! something to his advantage, but who would turn upon that one the next mement. 22.

But Sir Henry says there is much te criticize and amend in Germany still.
