6 June Airships, a few of which comparatively successful, are new invention; but in 1679 a pamphlet was written by Francesco Lana expounding the theory of ships which would navigate the air as well as the sea.

Das Fahrzeug, mit melchem Dr. Tho= mas feinen Berfuch unternahm, befteht aus einem Unterbau, der einem Dreirad ahulich ift, und aus einer archimetrifchen Gchraube, deren dier Flügel rechtminfelig zu einander ftehen.

Yesterday afternoon he was dressed in a black frock coat and white waistcoat, and had the aspect of a natty clergyman. His past business ex- perience has been that obtained largely as an advertising man for a big Broadway dry goods store. While his wealthy father, a white- haired man, stood by, he took occasion to ward off the dreaded Dowie simile as the outset. "I, John Wall," the newcomer said, "don't claim to be anything but John Wall, just plain John Wall. I am natural and I want to establish right down here on the earth a Comrade Kingdom. My movement is simply a common-sense one, which we hope to push through. Dowie was against all creeds, while we respect them all." An Intelligent-Looking Audience Perhaps one hundred people, all of them well-dressed, intelligent-looking men and women, assembled at the Berkeley Ly- ceum Theatre to witness the launching of the National Church, timed for 3 P. M., but which did not take place until 3:10 P. M. With the exception of three report- ers, all these people were apparently earnest sympathizers with the new move- ment. When John Augustus Wall had finished his speech they applauded him long and vigorously. Then they all wait- ed until after the service to shake his hand and wish him success. In the invitation he sent out for the meeting yesterday afternoon John Au- gustus Wall announced that his church was to be "a party different from all others," and one whose only creed was to be the Golden Rule. His circular said: Do you believe in Moses, Jesus, Mahomet, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Emerson, Edwin Markham, Elbert Hubbard, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Darwin, Huxley, Paine, Ingersoll, Bryan, Hughes, Hearst, or Brisbane? Are you an Atheist, Infidel, Moralist, Spiritual-ist, Jew, Christian, or Ethical Culturist? Are you living in a secluded furnished room, a pal-ace, a tenement, or a brownstone residence?
