Count zeppeiin's Airship.

Much interest is felt In the approach
ing trials Of Count Zeppelin's wonder
full aerial ship, with which the inventor
claims to have solved the problem of
flying. Count Zeppelin is an enthusi-
asst, and has spent s10,0 900 in building
a dock for his ship near the Borden
zee, In Upper Austria, while the ship
itself has cost him a further sum of
$4,000. The description Of the vessel
Is suggestive OF Jules Verne. 1t is
long. thin and cylindrical in shape, and
is sharply pointed at one end. 1t is
similar in form to a lead pencil with a
very sharp point. 1t will be driven by
two sets OF screws, vertical and hori-
zontal, and the motive power will be
electricity. Count Zeppelin declares
that the new airship will be able to
travel at the rate OF twenty-five miles
an hour. He anticipates It's adoption
for purposes Of both war and commerce
throughout the civilized world.

have been at that time, it was different
now. Old Father Time combined with
the caprices of a young woman to
cause the change. Sudowsky is a we'll
known Pole. and is fairly good looking,
but his 43 years of life frightened away
the girl who first accepted his hand.
Miss Urbaickait is but "a and quite
pretty, and she believes that she would
not be doing herself justice to contract
a marriage with one so much her
senior. She had told him so after the
first license had been procured, but he
was obdurate, and held up his youthful
appearance and manner, hoping
against hope, it seems, to induce her to
change her mind. She found a way out
of the difficulty, and she proudly re-
lates the story. He was determined to
be married, but nov that his professed
sweetheart had Tilted him, he knew not
what to do. She was full of resources
and her affection was strong enough
not to leave him in a lurch. 1t seems
that there lived in the same house with
Sudowsky and Miss Urbaickait, at 2232
Forbes street, Annie Waikaite, aged 81
years; the younger woman suggested
that ~Sudowsky marry her, and used as
an argument that the elder had all the
good qualities possessed by the young
er and that there being less discrep-
ancy in age would make them more
c%ongenial. Sudowskv argued that she
was not SO pretty as his first sweet
heart, and for sometime acted like a
stubborn mule, but at last his first love
overcame his objections, and from the
appearance of the trio in the marriage
license Office this morning it would
lead one to have faith in that oft-told
story, "I1l be a sister to YOU" Miss
Waikaite was satisfied and grateful to
Miss Urbaickait. The latter was happy
and Sudowsky seemed as though he
hadn't a trouble in the world. Each
said a laughing and satisfied good-by
to Mr.. Graham, and the only disap-
pointment, and this was o dispelled,
was that the first license could not be
changed SO that the second payment
would not have to be made.

LEGEND OF A PRAIRIE GRAVE.
Beneath the Flowers Lie the Remains
of n Soldiers Young Wife.

Beneath the flowers Lie the Remains
of n Soldiers Young wife.
Near the top Of the highest knoll on
the rolling prairie three miles south
west of old Fort Hays, in Kansas, is a
lonely grave in the prairie grass. There
is a board at the head and another at
the foot. These boards may once have
borne an epitanh, but now they are
Drowned and worn by the sun and
storms of many years, and they are de-
cayed at the ground and stand at an
angle, almost reay to fall. A prairie
rabbit has made its burrow at the foot
of the grave. All around it the grass
is full Of purple and yellow flowers.
Standing by the grave and looking
north and east there lies stretched out
a landscape of wondrous beauty. The
green sod of the plains slopes gradual
ly down from the grave a distance of
three miles to the cluster of long gray
and yellow empty buildings which were
the barracks and officers quarters OF
Fort Hays when this was the far west,
years before there was a railroad in
Kansas. Beyond the fort is the town
OF Hays City, a group OF yellow stone
and red brick buildings. Beyond lies
the prairie, north and east, to the hori-
zon line twenty AMI thirty miles away.
Diagonally across this stretch OF level
plain runs a thread OF vivid green
from northwest to southeast, the trees
thai fringe Big creek. There are nc
other trees anywhere else in the land
scape. The legend of the lonely grave
Is that years ago, when the Fort Hays
barracks were full Of troops, an army
hospital steward brought his young
wife there to live with him. Each Sum-
day the officer and his wife walked out
to this hill and they used to sit down
on the shady side Of it near the sum-
init and gaze for hours out at the land
scape below. Then they could see the
herds of buffalo roaming over the prai-
rie, and once in a while a band of In
dams scurrying across it. One day the
young wife was stricken with a deadly
fever. Before she died she asked her
husband to promise that he would bury
her body e the top Of the hill. at
the very spot where they used to sit
and look out over the wonderful land
scape. He kept the promise and there
Is her grave. The only flowers he could
get to plant upon 1t were the wild
flowers OF the prairies, and they are
blooming there yet.

fourishing settlements of the Greeks
were situated on the northwestern
shores, and there, too, stood ancient
Mycenae. 1t was the battlefield NE the
nations, where Greeks, Parthians Ro-
mans fought for supremacy. Here
were the realms Of Cyrus and Alexan-
der the Great. The degeneration of
this fertile land began first by the de-
cline of its ruling 5vnasties, and then
when it became a part of the world
embracing Byzantine empire in the
seventh century.
In the thirteenth century it was
overrun by the Monaghan hordes in
their western emigration, to be eter-
nally doomed by the conquest of Sultan
Selim in the sixteenth. Ever since
then 1t has been the property of the
Turkish empire.
What was once is now again made
possible. This country was the gran
airy OF the world, its mines provided its
rulers with untold wealth, its fruits
were the delightful food Of countless
lands. All this was made possible by
the tremendous irrigation system, by
means OF canals running from the
great rivers which ran through the
country. These ruined waterways are
the marvel of modern engineers. who
wonder at the scientific achievements
of thousands Of years ago.. But all Of
these could be restored to usefulness,
and the rich soil, almost virgin now
after its centuries of rest, could once
more be brought to yield abundantly
to its ~cultivators.
The record Of the railroad, which has
been in operation only for a few years,
and over a small territory, is an indica-
ton Of what may be expected here
after. The first year of its operation
this railroad carried 800 car loads of
wheat, the second it had 700 of that
cereal to carry. The first year it haul
ed but 20 car loads of rye, the second
200. The first year there were 400 car
loads Of corn, the second there were
700.

products, which are wanted always in
