j : Will be Overcome Soon. -
Washington, April 21. The an
nual meeting of the National Acad
emy of Sciences began here to-day
in the National Museum. A number
of f interesting scientific papers were
read. That of Professor Langley,
of the Smithsonian Institution, on
the subject of flying machines, at
tracted the greatest attention. Pro
fessor Langley gave the results of a
series of experiments he began
about five years ago to ascertain the
possibilities of aerial navigation.
(-In summing up Professor Langley
said that he did not say that man
could traverse the air, but under cer
tain conditions and with our exist
ing means, so far as the power is
concerned, the thing is possible. The
difficulties would be in getting start
ed, in coming to the ground again
and in guiding oneself; through the
air. Nature had supplied an instinc
tive intelligence in the bird to bal
ance and guide itself. He did not
question that man would ultimately
acquire it. He thought aerial navi
gation would pass out of the sphere
ot charlatanship and into the hands
of engineers. In a short time, per
haps months instead of years, he be
lieved we would see something nota
ble come from it.

The Death of Field Marshal Von Moltke
An Engagement Between British Forces
and the Manipuris. t .
By Cable to the Morning Star. '
London, April 26. A dispatch to the
News Agency here from r Berlin, says
Count Von Moltke walked home yes
terday evening from the Reichstag. He
ate a hearty supper and afterwards
drank some tea and rose from his seat
wuth the intention, apparently, of retir
ing. Suddenly he staggered and would
have fallen had it not been for. the fact
that a servant sprang to his assistance.
The Count was carried to his bed room
and placed uPn a Ded uPn which he
died a few minutes later. The Emperor,
who was at Wartburg, was promptly in
formed of the veteran field marshal s
death, and immediately telepraphed ex
pressious of sympathy to the family oi
the dead soldier. All the German
Princes and noted personages -pi the
Empire are sending messages of con
dolence to the residence of Count Von
Moltke. The will of the Count states
that he desires that his burial should
taki. nlare at Creison. where his wife
and rhiiri are buried. The funeral, if
the Count's requests are followed, is to
be strictly private, but it is thought pos
sible that the Emperor will override the
dead soldier's wishes in this respect and
that his funeral will be made the occa
sion for a grand military display
Berlin, April 25.-Field Marshal
Count Von Moltke died in the study of

He appeared - to be in his usual health
early yesterday evening.; He supped as

Berlin. April 25. Emperor William
arrived in Berlin at 5.15 this afternoon,
having interrupted his visit to the Duke
of Saxe-Weimar as soon as he heard of
the death of Von Moltke. The Em
Dress and Chancellor Von Caprivi met
the Emperor at the railroad station, and
they then drove direct to Von Moltke's
residence. A consultation was held
at : the dead General's bouse in
recard to the funeral arrangements and
the suggestion that the body be taken
Tuesday to Von Moltke s family estate
for burial, in accordance with tbe wish
expressed by the Count, was approved.
Religious services will be held in tne
hall of the General Staff department
Sunday morning. The coffin will then
be carried with imposing military honors
to the railway station for conveyance to,
Kreisau. The remains will lie in state
between the hours of 11 and 5 to-morrow.
The public will be admitted to
take a last look at the well known fea
tures of the dead. The body is being
embalmed to-hight. I
Apart from the grand demonstration
which will be held here and which will
be befitting the greatness of the dead
soldier, and in consonance with the de
sire of the nation to show respect for
his memory, the funeral will be a simple
ceremonial. ! " .
Details regarding the Count discloses
the fact that during the last few days
he worked with his wonted regularity.
He had no premonition of death. He
had nearly completed plans for the for
tification of the Island of Heligot, and
had sent his report on the subject to
Emperor William on Tuesday last. The
work that passed Out of his hands
showed no trace of any abatement in his
constructive genius, and his mastery of
detail.'
The Count told Chancellor Von Ca
privi that when his plans for the fortifi
cation on Heligot were approved, he
would go to Schlaegenbad to take the
waters, as he was suffering from a slight
affection of the skin, m Intimate friends
of the Count who' greeted him in the
Reichstag yesterday saw no symptom
that he was suffering from illness. Hjs
friends state that he appeared to be en
joying excellent health. He walked
to his home after he had fin
ished his labors in the Reichstag.
He bad been out every day for a week
He dined with the Swedish Minister and
during the evening he was very ani
mated. He remained later than usual
in order to hear some music after din
ner. While playing a game of whist he
was attacked with a slight asthmatic
spasm and arose from the table and left
the room. It was supposed by the others
present that he would return in a short
time, but as he did not come; back his
nephew went after', him. The Major
found his uncle in a sitting position,
gasping for breath,! . . On seeing his
nephew the Count attempted to rise,
and for a moment appeared to have mas
tered his weakness. He got up and then
fell in his nephew's arms, seeming to
faint. . In a few moments he breathed
his last. The cause of death was a lesion
of the heart. He was not known to suf
fer from any pronounced cardiac trou
ble. The clock-work of life hd simply
run down. -
A SHIN MADE TO ORDER.
Bad Bone Made Good by a Bold Grafting.
In the Wabash Railroad Com
pany's Hospital in Springfield, 111.,
is a case of bona j fide bone grafting,
the humanj limb i being supported
and strengthened by bone taken
from a live chicken. John Dough
erty, a section hand, while working
in the Chicago yards, accidentally
scraped off a piece of skin from his
left shin. j
The skin did not growfon again.
The sore spread until it covered sev
eral inches -of the shin-bone. The
surgeons decided, that bone-rot had
set in. The only way to save the
remaining portion of the bone was
to remove the decayed part down to
the live . bone by chiselling it out.
This operation was successfully per
formed. I ' ,
In consequence of the large
amount of bone that had been chip
ped away, something had to be sub
stituted to take its place and make
the limb again strong. To do this a
live chicken was placed under the in
fluence of chloroform, one leg was
deftly amputated, the bone removed
and split, and the raw edge applied
to the living bone in Dougherty's
leg. This operation was continued
until the hollow place was filled with
living bone from four chickens.
Strange to say, the operation
proved successful in every detail and
healed with astonishing rapidity. In
about four months Dougherty was
able to hobble around with the aid
of a crutch, and recently he was per
mitted to go without a crutch or
cane. He was greatly ; surprised
when told of the operation which
had been performed, but he could
vouch for its success.
Dougherty was recently given a
position as gatemanjat a crossing on
the Wabash road

ANATOMICAL REASON-
Why a Owl Cannot Throw a Stone "Well.
Cleveland World.
The difference between a o-irl'R
throwing andajjboy'sgfis substanti
ally this: The boy crooks his elbow
and reaches back, with the unner
part of his arm about at right an
gles "with hts'dbodv and the forp-
, arm at an angle of 45 degrees. The
airect act ot throwing is accomplish
ed by bringing the arm back with a
. sort of snap, working everv ioint
from shoulder to wrist.
The girl throws with her whole
arm rigid 3the boy with his whole
arm relaxed. Why this marked and
unmistakable difference exists may
be explained bv the fact that t.h
. clavicle, or collar bone, in the fem
inine anatomy is some inches longer
and set some degrees lower down
than in the masculine frame.
The long, crooked, awkward hnn
interferes with the full and free use
of the arm. This is the reason nh
a girl cannot throw a stone.
