event. The ground having been frozen
has remained in a rough and unsatis-
factory condition and the crew OF the
septuplet are hardly. to blame for not
caring to risk certainly their limbs
and possibly their lives in a winter at
tempt to break the record.
1t has been demonstrated, however,
by the preliminary trials that better
results are obtained from the machine
when it is ridden across the wind than
under any other conditions, and Mr..
Maslin, who is greatly interested in the
performances of this machine has just
completed arrangements for the at
tempt TO smash the record as soon as
the weather permits.
The tests which have already been
made have taken place on the lakeside
Boulevard, a fine stretch OF road run
ming out of Syracuse and those inter-
ested in the big machine and its work
are we'll satisfied with the showings
thus far made and are confident that
when forced along under the impulse
of a favoring breeze and the fourteen
muscular legs of it's riders, the ma
chine will cover a mile in less than a
minute.
It's riding crew is composed of seven
of the best known riders of the country.
The steersman, William BeX, has al
ready had considerable experience with
the machine before the maStS ana sans
were put in position. He has guided
the machine over circular mile track
in 1 minute and 80 seconds, taking the
machine and crew across the finish line
and to a stop in safety.
Among the others riders of the crew
of the machine are Robert T. Darling,
the designer and builder of the septup-
let Frank L. Troppe, George Beak-
bane, Frank La Velle, Henry Triebert
and Charles Duckrow, all of whom are
well known racing cyclists.
Several of these men were in the crew
which raced with the Empire State
express and all of them have had long
experience in multi-cycle riding.
In this coming trial of the septuplet
against time, the machine will be
handled in much the same manner as
an ice boat is, the sails being set as
shown in the illustration.

MIRRORS OF AIR.
What It Is That Causes the MarveIs
of the Mirage.


The cause of the mirage is now well
understood-so well understood, that
there are ways of making small mi
RACES for experiment, writes Tudor
Jerks in the st. Nicholas.
The simplest explanation that I can
give is to say that the rays of light
coming from the thing that is seen are
bent in going through layers of air
differently heated. When these rays
are so bent as to be almost level with
a layer of air. they do not enter it at
ALL but $50 to speak, glance off, and
are reflected as if from a mirror. Then
the air reflects just as a glass mirror
or a body of water would, if it lay be-
tween the eyes and the trees or ship.
This explanation will give you a gen
eral idea, of the cause of the mirage.
In the case of the desert the rejecting
air-mirror is believed by the observer
to be water. and the image changes
reflection would move as you advanced
on a glass mirror. In the case of the
ship, the air-mirror seems to be above
you, and reflects the ship which is
really out Of sight over the horizon.
But I do not pretend to explain all
about the different images that may
possibly be formed under different con-

The "fata morgana" is a form OF
modification often seen in the straits
that separate the boot" of Italy and
the island of Sicily. just opposite. When
the sun is just at the right position
and sea and air are also ready to help,
strange views of objects upon the oppo-
site coast are seen from Calabria-

a background of colored mists. "Fata

ton. The council of war must continue
until late hour, when both streets
and trolley cas- are almost deserted.
Then a half dollar deposited with a
goodnatured motorman secures all
rights to the fender of car bound for
Cambridge, and the trip is begun. The
motormans bell is silent, but there is
enough of warning dispensed from the
fender to get a deaf man off the track.
Policemen along the route look on in
amazement, and occasionally one en-
tiers mild protest, but to no effect,
for, as far as possible, the fender-party
car runs through as an express to Cam
bridge. The members of the party
seek their rooms, and await each other
at the Adams house another night to
do it all over again.

bined sail area of something over

combined sail area of something over
200 square feet.
In the preliminary trials which have
thus far been made with this machine
it has been demonstrated that while
the sails are, under certain conditions
of the wind, of very material assistance
TO the riders in the matter of speed,
they cannot be used to advantage with
any breeze which may blow.
Under certain conditions of wind, the
big sail area holds the wind and on
several occasions the seven riders have
had to do some sudden and wonderful
gylnnastic performances in order to
avoid . nasty spill.
When, however, the wind is firm the
sails carry the machine along at a rate
which equals that of a railway train
and in fact exceeds the speed of many
local trains.
The big machine with its sails and its
crew of athletic riders is now all ready
for the race against the record, when
il is confidently expected that present
records will be practically annihilated
and a wonderful new worlds record
for enc mile esta blished.

y
He could hear the pages in the court
yard outside shouting for stools for
their masters and squabbling over the
best places upon the stage. Then the
gates creaked, and there came wild
rush of feet and a great crying out as
the prentices and burghers trooped
into the inn-yard, pushing and crowd
ing for places near the stage. Those
who had the money baWled aloud TOR
farthing stools. The rest stood Jostling
in a wrangling crowd upon the ground,
while up and down girls shrill voice
went all the time, crying high; Cherry
ripe, cherry ripei Who'll buy my sweet
May cherries?' writes John Bennett in
the st. Nicholas.
Then there was another shouting and
a rafting tread of feet along the
wooden balconies that ran around the
walls of the inn-yard, and cries from
the apprentices below "Good-day
fair Master Harrington! Good-day
Sir Thomas ParkeSi Good-day, sweet
Mistress Nettleby and Master Nettle-
by! Good-day, good-day, good-day!
for the richer folks were coming in at
pence each and all the galleries were
full And then he heard the baker
boy with sugared cakes and ginger
nuts go stamping up the stairs.
The musicians in the balcony over
head were tuning up. There was
flute, viol, a gittern, fiddle and
drum; and behind the curtain, just
outside the door, Nick could hear the
master players low voice giving nasty
orders to the others.
So he said his lines all over to him
self, and cleared his throat. Then on
a sudden a shutter opened high above
the orchestra, a trumpet blared, the
kettledrum crashed, and he heard
loud voice shout:
Good citizens of Coventry, and high
born gentles ALL Know We now that

grace Charles, Lord Howard, high ad-
miral of England, Ireland, Wales, Ca

of The Three Gray Gowns by Mas
ter Thomas Haywood in which will be
spoken many good things, old and new,
and a brand-new song will be sung.
Now. hearken all-the play begins!'
The trumpet blared, the kettledrum
crashed again, and, as a sudden hush
fell over the throng without, NICK
heard the voices of the players going
on.
1t was a broad farce, full of loud
jests and nonsense, a great thwack-
ing of sticks and tumbling about; and
Nick, with his eye on the crack of the
door, listened with all his ears for his
cue far too excited even to think of
laughing at the rough jokes, though
the crowd in the inn-yard roared till
they held their sides.

DR.. Mary Walker Bobs Up Again

Washington Post: DR.. Mary Z.
Walker, who was familiar figure
about the capital for many years until
about a decade ago, has again resumed
her holding of levees in that portion
of the statuary hall set apart for the
use of ladies. Few people have not
heard Of DR.. Mary Walker, and she
could not write her autograph upon
cards yesterday fast enough to satisfy
the incessant demand of her visit
ors.
Time has dealt very gently with the
doctor, and her brown hair, carefully
trimmed after the style of a college
professor, has yet very few silver
threads. Her dress is that of 2 man,
and her shirts, collars and cuffs are in
the latest stvle. A little red carna-
tion adorns the lapel of her coat, and
her overcoat has short cloak over
the shoulders, with a velvet collar.
At first glimpse one would be for
given for thinking her member of the
sterner sex. but as one goes more
closely, and she looks up with her
bright eyes through a pair of steel

The Fender Party at Harvard.

New York Tribune: According to a
Harvard student, some of his more
bibulously inclined college-mates have
devised an improvement on the trolley
party which quite eclipses that form of
entertainment. 1t is known as the
fender party" and is just what it's
name implies. It's advantages over the
conventional trolley party are numer-
Gus. It is infinitely more exciting, and
at the same time more select. Each
party must be limited to three or four
at the outside. Organization is effected
and the line of march determined over
the Adams House bar, with the usual
accompaniments. Any other bar will
do just as well. but it has been found

A STUDY OF LABOR.

A curious matter has come up in
studying the life of the Italian
immigrants in Chicago. A very
careful inquiry has recently been
made among the Italian colony
there as to the manner of living,
amount of earnings and change of
habits produced by immigration to
the United States. One of the
results of the inquiry is to find that
large number of the Italians have
raised their cost Of living by using
the Italian food they have been
accustomed to, instead of the
American products, which would
be much cheaper. That is to say,
things which are cheap and suitable
for food in Italy, are much dearer
in the United States.
This is only the result of obser-
walton in one district, but the
Department of Labor is to institute
similar inquiries in different parts
of the States, and the question OF
how far foreign labor becomes a
competitor with American labor
will be partly solved by such study.
In view of the fact that Italians
have been proposed as laborers here
it is interesting to us. In fact,
with change in our labor system
now imminent, we must give
especial study to such matters, and
no information bearing upon labor
should be neglected either by the
Cabinet or by the planters.

WOODS AND FORESTS.

The remarks of J. J. McCandless
which appear in another column are
worthy of careful consideration by
planters and managers of the Hilo
district. Mr.. McCand ess' opinions
upon the water question are those
OF an expert who has, from the
nature of his business, paid the
greatest attention to the matter.
His statement that the planters
have exceeded their wateo supply
by bringing too large an area into
cultivation bears the stamp of proba-
bility. 30 fn i9'
But it is not the planters of sugar
and coffee who have injured the
forests so much as the cattle. In
this direction, however, there has
b en- much improvement of late
years. Miles upon miles Of fencing
have been put up and the cattle
kept to the pastures instead of being
allowed to run at will through the
