Prof. Langiey's Combined Airship
and Dynamite lhrower.
If current reports from Washington
are true Professor 5. l.. Langley has
invented a real flying machine and the
most powerful engine of war known to
civilized man. SO mighty is the power
of the little forty seven-pound engine
of the flying machine which he has
originated that no model army could
withstand it, A fleet of ironclads could
be destroyed by it in fifteen minutes.
Coast dcfenses would be broken up
like rail fences before tornado If once
the aerodrome passed over them and
dropped bombs into their midst. At
least this is what Professor Langlcy's
friends assert.
For three years past Professor Lang.
ley has devoted himself to the prob
lem of aerial navigation. He claims to
have solved it at last and to have built
a machine which will render American
armies invincible by means of combs
thrown from his airship. He calls it
the aerodrome. This machine will be
not less valuable in peace than in war.
\ man can settle himself to sleep in
the car of one of these flying machines
in the evening at Chicago, and wake up
to find himself in New York by morn
ing. Air travel will he more safe than
transportation by land. The aerodrome
can dart upon a sinking ship and
snatch its passengers from peril. The

neer.
The aerodrome which Professor
Langley has constructed and tested
cost $1,000. This sum included the
cost of numerous experiments. The
machine can probably be duplicated
for less than $4,000 Professor Lang
ley says his perfected aerodrome is the
result of between twenty-five and thir-
ty unsuccessful experiments with
various engines and motors. His work
has been carried on in the East with
the utmost secrecy. The professor was
convinced that an airship could be
constructed which would fly by its
own power. The problem was to in
vent machine that could depend up
on its momentum for support and at
the same time furnish considerable
carrying capacity above that required
to sustain itself. After ten months OF
effort flying machine was actually
launched in 1897. In the first expert
ment it worked well. Subsequent
trials showed that it was not and could
not in that shape be put under perfect
control.
The aerodrome resembles n metal
whale propelled by the wings of an al
hatross. 1t is built largely of alumni

veyance TO some enchanted world. The
gaiety and glitter of the London night
delighted and amazed her. At Picca-
dilly circus Sylvia was entranced: in
Leicester show she was in ecstasies,
and when. having reached the snug Sc
clusion of curtained box, she could
gaze across a valley of dim, smoke
wreathed figures, which the moving
marvel of form and color defined as n
ballet. she acted and moved as though
in dream world.
Sylvia remained oblivious to all Brun-
tons hints as TO the lapse of time until
he murmured that the hour had neared
IL. Safely in the hanson speeding
homeward, Sylvia returned to earth
again, and sighed as she felt like
Cinderella in having to leave the ball
at its height.
Yes, Sylvia wasssorry, very, very
sorry. he was going, and perhaps when
he returned In three years he would
have forgotten her. And Brunton was
equally convinced of his own faithful

absence on hers.
Brunton thought he would like the
next meeting to take place, as this one
had, in garden; and Sylvia remem-
bered that Il certain green door in the
high wall encircling her grandmother's
grounds opened on a quiet side road.
Thereafter the stars witnessed n sol
emn compact that, that day three
years. at the same hour, Sylvia would
unlock the green door to give Brunton
entrance.
Athwart the little green door the
moonlight glintcd softly, and Brunton,
standing in near the shadow of an lex,
would willingly have dropped the COM
ing hour out of his life.
Since his return to England, n few
days before, the memory of this ap-
preaching designation had persistcntly
occurred to him. AS a man of honor
he knew he dare not shirk it. And vet.
how painful to be forced to see Sylvia
to look into those innocent, trustful
eyes-and confess how he had changed
and TO tell her boldly that their meet
ing had proved but an incident, of no
moment in the ordering of his life.
He must undeceive her as tenderlv
as possible, speak of Eleanor regret
fully, at least not let Sylvia guess how
entirely happy their union was. or that
she, Sylvia, had long ceased to be aught
but pretty, sentimental remembrance
to him.
Even as he schooled himself a dis
tant clock struck the hour. and with
the first faint chime came the stealthv
sound of an opening lock. She was
there.
Gently turning the handle he passed
through the green door and entered
Lady Martingale's garden. Beside the
great stone basin of the old fountain
stood Sylvia.
Her eyes met his in questioning an
peal, and for a moment a mad rush of
pity, romance, affection, call 1t what

WHERE THE WATER GOES.

Some weeks ago we had in this city
quite a discussion of the water supply
some contending that 1t was not sufficient
else something would have to be done to
increase the supply from the wells we al
ready had. On the other hand it was
claimed that there was a great waste of
water-that if the closets were kept in
order and the faucets closed when not in
use, it would be found there was an am
pie supply of water. For a little while
the water inspector and the police kept
watch on the closets and faucets, and
number of persons were called before the
recorder on the charge of wasting water
The raid on the water MASTERS had a good
effect. Little or nothing has been heard
recently of a lack of water.
We mention this matter for the purpose
of calling attention to a report made a day
or two ago by one of the engineers of the
water system of New York city There has
been a great outburst of public feeling in
that city against an effort to saddle a
tax of 100000 year, for period of for
~ years. on the city for an additional wa
ter supply, the claim being made that the
present supply is insufficient. While the
discussion of the water question was at
fever heat, the engineer in question, Mr.
Croes, came forward with a very care
fully prepared report, in which he showed
quite satisfactorily that what the city
wanted was not an additional water sup
ply but safe distribution for the supply it
already had.
Mr. Croes' report suggests this question:
Is not a very large part of the water sup
ply of this city wasted in distributing it.?
Some of the water pipes have been down
for many years. perhaps as long as a
quarter of a century. Who is there who
knows what their condition is? They have
not been examined Ought they not to be
given a very thorough examination for
the purpose of determining whether or not
they are in condition to permit a large
percentage of the water supply TO escape
into the ground?
The examination would of course cost
something. but the cost would be very
small in comparison with the amount that
would be saved if it were found that a
quarter or a third of all the water the civ
is pumping is lost on its way to its desti-
nation. 1t Is a fact thai this city con-
sLmes an enormous amount of water. If
all that is pumped is consumed. The house
drainage system will soon be in operation.
It Will require considerable water. Before
there is a demand for water for II the
question as to whether the water pipes are
leaking to any considerable extent ought
to be settled.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILL ACTIVITY

That part of the annual report of Mr..
Hester. of the New Orleans Cotton EX-
change, which deals with cotton mills in
the South is Of great interest and impor-
lance. 1t tells a story of well nigh mar
velous development during the past few
years in an industry which is destined 10
be almost if not quite wholly transferred
to the South. and which will give the
cotton producing section the cotton mill
profits which have hitherto gone to en-
rich New England and a few cities in old
England.
So rapidly has the cotton manufactur-
ing industry in the South grown that in
five years the total of capacity for con-
sumption has been raised by 100000 bales,
and the current year will make it 1907
900 bales Five years ago the total con-
sumption of Southern mills was $4,000
bales; during the year which ended on
Aug. 81 last the consumption was 1885,
399 bales; adding the spindles and looms
which are now in process of erection, and
calculating for them average employment,
the consumption for the current year will
be about 10000 BALES. In compiling these
figures of new spindles and looms, Mr..
Hester has eliminated everything of a
doubtful character, putting into his Ia
bles only such mills as have been com
pleted or are actually in course of con-
struction. There are ffty-seven mills on
which the work of building is progress
ing at present Twenty-six mills were
completed and put in operation during
the commercial year just ended. The rec
ords show that there are now in operat ION
in the South 4925,O9 spindes, a gain OF
nearly 100000 over the year 1S97-9S. and
l20S20 looms, a gain of about 1900 over
that year.
1t needs no demonstration to show that
if the rate of increase should be kept up
for only a few years, or IL but half the
rate of progress noted should be main
tanned, it would be only a short while be-
fore the South would spin and weave all
of her cotton crop, sending it to the mar
kets in the manufactured state, instead
of in the Improbable raw state Within
two years, should the activity in South
ern mill building be undated the South
will be consuming as much raw cotton as
the North. Last year the North consum-
ed 2,19O,O95 bales, a decrease of % 600 as
compared with the previous year, while
the South consumed 1,399,S99, an Increase
of 10000 bales. The South's proportion
of consumption was about as to as
compared with that of the North. 1t will
not take more than two years, the way
things are going, to wipe out the differ
ence. South Carolina North Carolina and
Georgia lead their sister states in cotton
manufacturing, in the order named
South Carolina last year consumed 443,-
97S bales, North Carolina 49,, Az bales and
Georgia 271, SO7 bales.

! It is understood that one of the most i'm
of War. has to perform, is to make rec
concentrations for the government of Cuba
and Porto Rico. His recommendations for
! Cuba will of course be for a temporary
| government because il is the understand
| ing that it is our purpose to give the Gu
bans a chance TO try self-government.
Porto Rico, however. is our possession,
and whatever we do there is expected to
be permanent. It seems to US that, in
Cuba particularly, those at the head of
the military governments have been too
hasty in their efforts to wipe out Span
ish laws and customs and to substitute
for them the laws and customs of this
country.
Ii is not an easy matter to get people
to give up the institutions which have be-
come, as it were, a second nature to them
and to adopt others with which they have
no acquaintance whatever. To change the
language habits of thought and laws
of a people requires time and should be
brought about gradually, and by educa-
tional methods.
1t is admitted that many of the changes
which the Insular Commission has recon-
mended for Porto Rico are good, but some
of them are altogether TOO radical. II
they were to be adopted the attempt to
enforce them would most likely provoke
trouble. This commission would Ameri-
canize the island a once-by an edict as
it were. Would it not be far better to
nerruft the Porto Rfcans IN retain their
laws and methods of goVernment-those
with which Spain provided them-until. it
is demonstrated TO them that our laws
and customs are superior? If we begin
with the school children teaching them
the English language, and gradually ak
ing genuine American citizens out of
them, will we not much more likely sue
coed sooner in Americanizing the island
than If we arbitrarily insist upon the
acceptance Immediately of our customs.
laws and institutions?
There is a great work to be done in
Porto Rico. and we shall be better able
to do it if we retain the good will and
friendship of the people The Porto Ri
cans are peaceably disposed. They are
willing to be led Indeed they are anx-
ious to become thoroughly identified with
the United States, but if we insist upon
radical changes at once-changes they do
not understandable may turn them from
a willing to a sullen and stubborn peo-
pie. Just now the government has an
opportunity to win their gratitude. Their
island has been visited by terrible hur-
rcane. and the towns and the plantations
are in ruins. 1t is estimated that it will
require $l,500,000 worth of supplies to keep
the people from actual starvation until
they can raise a crop of vegetables. No
doubt the government will see to it that
there is no great amount of suffering on
the island but there will have to be great
judgment and discretion exercised in rem
dering assistance to prevent more harm
than good being done.
