Forecastins the Progress of Invention.

There is another direction in which
the airship would be seriously defective,
and this is almost always overlooked,
and that is in the matter of making
landings. Being large body, it would
necessarily be unwieldy, and it's motion
in any direction could not be arrested in
very short space of time; therefore it
could not make landing within a linn
tied area. In dead calm it could proba-
bly, be lowered in nearly vertical line
and thus make landing in contract
ed space, but if the wind were blowing
even at moderate velocity the case
would be different. AS the wind is al
ways blowing more or less, and as it fire.
guently changes its course in few Sec
onds, the ship would be tossed about
quite lively before it reached the ground.
If it came down at the rate Of 800 feet
per minute, which is high velocity,
and the wind were blowing at the rate
of ten miles per hour, the side drift
would be three times as great as the
vertical descent, and if this were coun-
teracted by imparting velocity to the
ship equal to that of the wind and op-
posed to it the side drift would be
doubled if the direction of the wind
should suddenly reverse. 1t must there
fore be evident that to be able to make
landing safely, without running the
risk of colliding with church steeples
and modern .skyscrapers, it would be
necessary to have a large open space

"My Own Notes."
I have made in number of years OF
ardent collection quite a library Of my
own notes. and the fact that have al
ready lived two-thirds of my probable
tether of life and am ''buccaneer" OF
the newspaper world by stress Of cir
cumstances sometimes gives me pang.
I recognize the righteousness Of my col.
lection Tor an impossible future of com
fort and leisure, for even one possible
posthumous work. I have never had
leisure to produce one whole or com.
plete piece of literature and probably
never shall have days leisure in my
life, but this irony of fate does not de.

I shall certainly continue to make end

The world of readers may thank Goo
perhaps that these books will not ap

for books that can never be written.

I confess this speculation seems to m5

my point of view, as book lover,
think what library these daubs would

TWO MEN KILLED.
And The Killing is Universally Looked
Upon as Justifable"

Waco, Texas, July 2S.-In the stock
day, Il. +. Kivett and w. w. Kivett
were shot and killed by w. Lamden, Il
member of the firm. Bad feeling has ex-
listed between the Kivett brothers and
Lamden for some time, growing out of
charges made by the relatives of Lamden
and sister of Kivett's. The shooting be-
Tween the brothers and Lamden occurred
during the busiest part of the day when
the office was crowded, and it caused in
tense excitement Two more of the Xiv
EFT brothers armed themselves and pro-
ceeded to the scene of the shooting,
to kill Lamden, but they were
not allowed to enter. The killing is uni
versally looked upon as justiiable.
About month ago the Kivetts attempt
ed to kill Lamden, inhicting knife wound
on him and they had frequently threaten
ed to kill him since then. This morn
ling they appeared in the doorway of Trice
q Co.'S office. Lamden was informed of
their coming. AS they appeared in the
door they drew their pistols, but Lamden
fired with Il shotgun before they could
shoot, killing b. +. Kivett instantly. w.
w Kivett rushed on Lamdcn with his re-
volver, and as he pulled the trigger, Lam
den struck the weapon up and then grab
bed it. The men wrestled over the wea-
pom. which Kivett succeeded in firing sew
eral times without result. Lamden finally
succeeded in drawing his revolver and
shooting Kiyett three times. Lamden was
uniniured.
