New York City, Special. Chas. G. Loeber, a German has invented an air ship that will go. Unlike most other experimenters, Mr. Loeber has discarded the'idea that in or der to float in the air a vessel must be lighter than the air it elisplaccs. lie claims to be able to floaj, a body of any weight in the air and also be able to pio pel it at any speed. 4,I hive elrscovered," said he to the reporter, "a new property in the aii which has hitherto been unob- served by all scientists. Anthexis I call it Anthexis is really the energy of existence.. It cannot be used as a motive power, but merely as apower of support. By means of anthexsis I can raise my oxvn body into the air and by using the ordin.vy means of locomotion move nrounel in it at xvill." "What is arithexi3?"asked the reporter. Tt is a hard thing to explain," replied Mr. Loeber. "You might as wtll ask xvhat gravity is. We know that it exists, anel xve have learneel how to apply it, bu xve do not know just what it is. The birds know how to use anthexis. Have you never seen a 3vallow or a seagull floating in the air without moving its wings? It is supported by that eoergy of rcs'stance in the air that I call an thexis. In form the ship is an elongated oval. The'proxv is a cigar-shaped and the' stern alrao t flat. The base is formed of two hollow cylinders, xvhich it may rest even ly on the earth. The vtrineinal feature of the shin is the xvings. These-wings afe to be made of . thin steel plates and extend out oh either side just like the wings of a beetle. 1 hev are not to be used as a motive power, but merely to give supporj to the ship' in its flight. Their use'. i3: precisely simi'ar to that of the wings of a seagull when floating through the air, its xvings exteuded motionicssou each side Just how the. vessel is raised into the air, and how it i prevented from falling to the ground by its own weight, thj inventor will not explaiu, further than by saying that an thex is supports it. These xvings are movable.'

H: "When you disturb the equilibrium ,nf the air." said he, 'you cause motion'.: Now, I have found out how to .apply that motion by leverage, and so obfaiq motive power for my ship.

Ex-Senator Norwood Offers a Substi tute for the Sub-Treasury Bill He Proposes the Creation of a Billion and a Half of Paper Money to be Distributed to the States and IiOaned to the Citizens. Thomas M. Norwooi, Ex-United States Senator of Georgia, by inviiation of tt;e Legislature of that State to ad dress them on the Alliance sub-trcaury plan, spoke at Atlanta a few days ago on the general question of the finances and currency of the Unitcel States. He' ad vanced a plan of banking that is new. He contends that the accelerated accumu lation of capital in a few Eastern States and in the hinds of a few persons is de structive to th3 West and South, andwill finally elestroy the Eastern States. It produces congestion in one part of our political body and paralysis in the other parts. Ills plan is in brief, for Congress to direct its Secretary of the Treasury to prepare a sufficient number of legal ten der notes of convenient denominations, xvhich, added to the existing currency, ' will give thirty, forty, or fifty dol lars per capita. These note? arc to be re ceivable for all debts and elues except" du ties- on imports. They are to be redeemed by tin United States Government on pre sentation at the treasury or at sub-treasuries established at convenient cities. The treasurer shall hold at least 25 per cent, of the issue in coin, gold and silver, to redeem the notes, that being enough and as much as banks now hohl for rc elemption purposes. The percentage of coin, however, can be regulated by ex perience He proposes to re-adjust and measurably equalize the circulation of the currency in this xvay: Each State on uciuauu snail icichc in lirjui icuticia an amount xvhicn aeiaeo: to its existing cir culation xvill make the amount per capita elccided on by Congress. The banking capital iu each State is to be the standard for ascertaining its circulation, unless a better-can be devised. To illustrate: Georgia's population in round numbers is ,2,!00,000. The amount per capita fixed by Congress for the xvhole population being $10, Georgia xvould be entitled to eighty million dollars, but her present bauking capital beiug thirty millions, that sum must be deducted arid h'.'r quota of legal tenders would be fifty millions. The ratable amount of circulation he pro poses shall be used by each State accord i"g as the people of the State shall de terminc. That is, it may be used in banking or be let by the State acting thnuigh a bureau of finance to individ uals on such securities as a prudent bank now takes for loans. His plan is for each .-tate to hold a percentage of this cur rency t ) m.'-et squeezes and scoops by Wall strict, anel to foster banking xvith part aud lend the remainder to individ uals and corporations ; that each State shall fix by law a reasonable rate of inter est, not above 5 per cent , and by law name the seciirities on which, the bureau offin-nce shall lend, the percentage of value to be lent and time; that land shall be one of the securities, and that each State shall lend on its own products. For instance. Georgia's great product being cotton, it should be security or col- latteial under proper aud safe conditions; wheat and corn being the chief products of Kansas, Iowa, etc., they should lend on these proelucts Norwooel contends that xvhen money can draxv to. itself 4, per cent, by going' into manufacturers, mining, etc., it will go there, anu tnus all the natural resources of the State will be developed and its wealth increased to the benefit of every citizen, whereas banking produces no xvealth and benefits only the few who receive the elividends Norwood took Georgia and Kansas to il lustrate what can be done uuder his fi nancial system. He proposes that each State shoulel set aside not less than 10 per cent, ol tue legal tenders to pro tect its own citizet-s, against financial crises and srucezes. Georgia could in crease her bankiug capital $10,000,000 and lend $30,000,0 JO on long time, in terest payable: semi-annually, to iudiviel- uals and corporations xvho have valuable mines to be developed and xeh e'esire to build cotton factories, to manufucturciS of w o-jden wares aud iron ; in short, to bring into activity and' use her natural resources, xvhich are incalculable and which have laiu untouched for twenty live years only because her people have had no money to work with. With $30, 000,000 tnus lent by tne State at 5 per cent she would receive annually one mil lion, fix'e hundred thousand doilais in in terest . With that she could 'establish sinking fund of $500,000 per annum, and in twenty years p :y oil her funded debt. With this in hand she could begiu to re duce State taxation at once ; could largely increase her school funds, and establish a bureau of immig.v.tion, anel in a very few years discontinue taxation except for county and municipal purposes. , Bor' rowers from the State, would get value received in the loan as low interest, would thus take the pface of taxpayers Kansas could lend to her citizeos at 5, A or thiee per cent, and theu they ; could lift the present mortgage debt of $235 000,030, due mainly to the East, and at thejsame time put interest money enough in4he State treasury to relieve them from State taxation. He contends that as al the monev that can be borrowed is iu the Eastern Stites, it is practically useless to the South and West. Under the system he advocates the money and security are in the same State are neighbors, and will exchange and intere twill go to the benefit of both lender and borrower and all the people in the State; whereas, noxv the interest paid, as a rule goes EsL The inter, st now paid per anuum I v t whole people goes to enrich those xxho are already too rich f o the safe v f the Republic, and that interest would be dis trihntpd amnnc the whole people taken --w o x bv States. He contends that the present banking svstem is a monopoly, because it is based on but one class of securities Govern ment bonds; second, that it Is monarchi cal, being fashioned on the plan of the i votei at the precinct in Buchanan a, the Bank of England eluring the first century J last presidential election, and was sen of its existence; and. third, that our fenced to six months imprisonmen in banking svstem is no, based on money or the jail and to pay a fine of $5 K. Thin coin, but on paper credit. The whole is the first conviction in Viiginia under system rests en the Government's credit, the Federal laws for prot-clioa of the whereas his proposed syitem would rest elective franchise, on coin in the treasury sufficient to meet all demands pf foreign commerce and do mestic trade. Norwood's substitute for the Alliance sub-treasury plan avoids Federal action. Each State lends to farmers on land anei on its own especial products at low intcr- st. 1 bus he says he establishes equality or 'all and shows favoritism to none. He contends that his. plan obviates every ob- ction hitherto made to the Allianceub- treasury piair, ana gives jarmers sure re icf, rs the allotment of currency he pro oses not only equalize! it if lent by States as the States' volume of curreucy, but thus distributed will remain perma nent in each. State, localise the State being the lender anf; ihe principal being ent to its citizens it must return .to the State xvith interest as the principal falls due. A TALK WITII JERRY. - Topeka, Kan Jerry Simpson says that Alliance vote among the farmers in Kmisas is increasing but slowly since last . 1 1 1 year. 1 lie principal gains nave ieen in the cities and towns where the Citizens' Alliauce has been hard at xvork this year. Ie estimates the increase at 20 per cent. over last year. Speaking of the negroes in the South ie said : "They afe flocking to us in the South. I believe that this movement is the solu tion of the race problem. It divides the colored as xvell as the white vote of the South. If it does nothing else it will do that much good at least. The old fight etween the hiscks and the xvhites will be"roken -f the blacks will take issue xvith each other in politics the same as the whites. That's what they ought to do. The lines are closer drawn in the South than here. Everything divides on the sub-treasury scheme. It ise either en dorsed or opposed by every man m the South. "How many members has tue.
