Preparations Actively Being Made for
the Citrus Fair.
The San Diego people put in an ap-
pearance at the citrus fair yesterday
and went to work in good earnest. The
party came by steamer, owing to the
fact that the railroad is not open yet,
and it consisted OF r. H. Young, who
represents San Diego on the general
committee Uf the fair, Mrs. R. H. Young,
J. P. Jones and L. E. Allen. In the
afternoon San Diego's fruit arrived. a
total of 200,boxes, enough, apparently,
to stock half dozen displays.
The Redlands arch is up and an idea
may be obtained of what the energetic
people of that city propose to do. This
plays in the fair. j. Wallace F. Diss,
ing the last two days, returned to Red
lands last evening. j. Lee Burton, the
architect, takes his place, for the pres
ent, to superintend the work. Friday
several other members of the committee
will be down.
A number of the ladies Of the annex
were at work yesterday decorating the
courthouse on the stage. Several ladies
from Santa Monica were busy at the
decoration of the seaside booth. The
decoration of the big arch over the stage
is we'll under way and the effect begins
to show of the immense mass of green
foliage.
Today the fruit will begin to arrive in
large quantities and the work will begin
in dead earnest. The fair opens next
Tuesday night.

Angeles Orphans Home.
Mrs. G. B. Woodhead, corresponding
secretary of the board of orphans home
directors, has issued the following no.
tice:
The ladies OF the orphans home board
having made careful estimate OF their
probable expenses for the coming year,
see that it will be possible to get along
without calling upon the charitable pub
lie for help through the annual benefit
until early in the coming fall.
They are glad to not be compelled to
call upon the friends of the home this
year, as there have been so many other
charities demanding their attention, but
any friends desiring to assist the home
will find a welcome for any contribution
of fruit, provisions, clothing, furniture
or cash.
The children of the home are very
well. Ii the citizens of Los Angeles
would visit and inspect our home and
learn more of its management, they
would feel proud of its work and more
fully appreciate the labors of the ladies
comprising it's board.

Beaten Only by Methuseiah.


Henry Jenkins, of Bolton, Lanca-
shire, England, lived to be 169 years
old. Mrs. Anna Saville, writer Of
Jenkins time, has the following in
her account Of him: Il questioned
him about his age. He said he was
1872 or 1853. asked him what public
event he could longest remember.
He said the battle Of Flodden Field,
when Henry VIII. was King. He
said he was then between 10 and IL
years of age, and was sent to North
allerton with a horse-load Of arrows,
but that bigger boy was sent to the
army with him." All this agrees with
the history of that time, bows and
arrows being then in use. The battle
of Flodden Field was fought Sept. 8,
1913, and Henry Jenkins was then a
boy between 10 and IL years of age,
died Dec. 8, 1869, SO that he must
have lived at least 1859 years, sixteen
year longer than old Parr, who was
born in Shropshire in 1888, and died
in 1885. Ii this account of the age
of Jenkins is reliable, he lived longer
than any other man in the known
world, except Methuselah, concerning
whose age there has been much dis
pute.

The Horse that Paid HIS Toll.

Many Of the older residents of this
section remember the late DIR. John
Warner, of New Milford, and will APP
preciate this little story. When DIR.
Warner was student at Yale he
used to come home Saturday nights
and return to New Haven Mondays.
That was before the days of railways,
and as stage-coaches did not leave
New Milford Monday mornings for
New Haven young Warner used to
mount his fathers horse and ride to
Yale on horseback. There were sew
eral toll-gates on the route, and at
each Warner would pay the return
toll for his horse. Arriving at Yale
he would affix to the bride a card
bearing these words: please not
stop this horse" The sagacious ami
NAL would jog along homeward, in
yariably reaching his stall at New
Milford all right. The toll-takers
got to know the horse and he was
never interrupted. Fridays the horse
would be started alone to New Haven
with small pouch attached to his
saddle, in which was the exact
change for the tolls Each toll-taker
would take his toll and the horse
would trot along, reaching Yale in
the evening. This practice was kept
up until the young doctor was gradu-
ated. -Danbury Comm News. y

Anyone who has ever dreamed OF
flying must have a vivid impression
of the pleasure that would be de.
rived from the ability to navigate the
air.
From the days Of the Montgolflers
and their hot-air balloons to the pres
ent time, many false hopes have been
held out that man was on the point
OF making highway of the atmos-
phere, as he has done Of the sea.
But repeated disappointments have
bred general incredulity on this sub
ject.
When, however, man of the
scientific reputation OF Prof. S. p.
Langley demonstrates, as he has re-
gently done by series of original ex-
periments, that heavy bodies can be
sustained in the air, with rapid mo-
tion, there is good reason to hope that
the problem Of mechanical flight may
yet be solved.
The principle upon which Professor
Langley worked will be readily
grasped by any boy who has ever
SHE'D thin, fiat stone, or piece of
slate into the air or upon the surface
Of smooth water, and watched it
skim along.
! Professor Langley experimental
with thin metallic planes, and dis,
covered that the time of fall of such
plane, even though 1t may be heay-
lily weighted, can be indefinitely pro-
longed by imparting to the plane
sufficiently swift lateral motion. In
other words, the plane may be made
to slide through the air without de-
scending to the earth.
BY tipping the plane so that as it
moves forward the air will strike
against its under surface, the ten
dency to fall to the ground is counter
balanced. One of the most interest
ing facts shown by the experiments
is, to quote Professor Langley's words,
that, "the force required to sustain
inclined planes in horizontal aerial
locomotion diminishes instead Of in
creasing when the velocity is aug
mented.
1t is only necessary that the flying
plane shall carry its own motor and
steering apparatus, in order to trans
form it into veritable ship of the
air. We may soon see Professor
Langley's idea put into practice, for
Mr.. Maxim, in England, is reported
to be about to launch a flying machine,
constructed on this principle, and
consisting of plane one hundred and
ten feet long by forty feet wide,
which is to be propelled by a screw
driven by petroleum condensing en-
CINE weighing eighteen hundred
pounds.
Such machine speeding through
the air with load Of passengers
would be almost as wonderful sight
as Prince Ahmed's flying carpet

A Wicked Parrot.

Every man who has parrot is al
ways telling what wonderful bird is
his. A lawyer in New York owns
one of these talking devils. A
friend went home with him to dinner
recently, and when the two men were
approaching the house the lawyer
said:
my parrot can recognize my foot
step as soon as it falls in the hall.
When | open my door he always cries
out from back room, Halo, Will;
come in here Now" added the
lawyer, as he slipped his key into the
latch, "just listen"
They listened, and this is what
they heard: "Hallo, Win, you old
bald-headed fool; come in here. !"
The lawyer, for one minute, looked as
if the house had fallen oh him. And
it was all the fault Of one Of his
brothers, who had heard the lawyer
boast so often of his parrot that he
taught the bird to insert the Nbald-
headed" part. Now he can't be
broken of the habit. New York
