THE RAILROAD PRESIDENT

Frank Thomson, the president of the
great Pennsylvania road, is dead at fif-
ty-eight years of age. These immense
corporations kill many persons who are
not reported in the list of accidents.
The presidency of a great railroad is a
killing position. William D. Bishop is
alive these days because he escaped
promptly from the "Consolidated"; and
yet in those days that road was COM
paratively a small affair, doing more
business at the state house than between
it's rails After him came George Fl.
Watrous and in few years Mr.. Wat
rous funeral was largely attended.
Then came Mr.. Clark, and that able and
enterprising gentleman is now chasing
health abroad. 1t is pleasant to hear
that his pursuit is successful, but he has
been under the strain 50 long that a re-
turn to his former amazing vigor will
have at best to be very slow 1t is in
some respects fine thing to occupy
place OF great power and influence and
to be able to direct and dictate, as rail-
road president may and often must; but
an awful responsibility goes along with
it. and the price is shortening OF life.
Mr.. Thomson was sensible enough to put
time into outside interests and to get d.
version through social entertainments
and in art and music and outdoor
sports. But the cord has snapped, and
when q man of his sort dies off at under
sixty years the assumption is that some
undermining influences must have been
at work. Those are the pulls and hauls
of the grave responsibilities that hang
about the envied presidents Of the great
Yoads-Hartford Courant.

TRAINING HORSES TO FACE FIRE

The Moral Effect of Smokeless Powder.
In the British army the four-legged
recruits are drawn up in ring round an
instructor who fires a pistol. Some take
the flash and report very quietly, and
these are soon pasesd on to severer tri-
ais, while the others have lesson after
lesson until they are quite convinced
that there Is no danger to them, and be-
fore long you might fire seven-pound-
err within yard of them and they would
hardly look around. After this they are
taught to face fire-that Is to say, to
gallop fearlessly up to line or square
Of infantry, blazing away with their ri
fies, and to charge batteries of quick
firing guns. OF course, only blank cart
ridges are used, and so to a trained
horse going into battle for the first time
there Is no difference between the harm
less thunder of the manoeuvres and the
h-dealing storm which sweeps over
a battlefield. The poor brute only
learns what the difference really is by
bitter experience.
When smokeless powder came into
general use 1t was found that in many
cases horses which would face the smoke
Of guns using black powder without
flinching, flinched and SHE'D al the flash
and roar unaccompanied by smoke.
Continental opinion Is somewhat divided
as to the moral effect Of smokeless pow
der on men and horses, but the general
conclusion seems to be that in daylight
1t is not more terrifying than black pow
der, although some hold that to see men
and horses struck down by an invisible
agency must necessarily be so. But it
is generally agreed that the use Of
smokeless powder at night has much
more disturbing effect than that Of the
old powder, because the flashes Of the
guns, unobscured by smoke, are great
deal more vivid. The fear thus inspired
can, however, be overcome by training;
but there is another fear which must, in
the nature Of the case, be felt for the
first time on the battlefield, and that is
the often uncomfortable terror produced
both in men and horses by the whistlng
Of bullets and the screaming and bang
ing Of shells. Some authorities have in
deed, said that since the introduction of
smokeess powder and the great In
crease in the range and accuracy of
weapons, it would be impossible to keep
cavalry in hand under the fire of mod
ern artillery but this is probably an ex-
ggeration-Pearson's Magazine.

PREFERS HIS GLORY WHILE.
ALIVE,

A few years ago the river drivers We're
working on the West Branch. The logs
had damned into nasty snarl and no

In the crew was an Indian who was no.

The boss finally looked over in his di-
rection, 'Lacoote,' he said, you go

1T FLIES AND FIGHTS.
Prof. Iaugley's Combined Airship
and Dynamite Thrower.

Prof. Laugley's Combined Airship
and Dynamite Thrower.
lf current reports from Washington
are true Professor :. Z. Langley n...,
invented real flying machine and the
most powerful engine of war known 10
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 1t. A fleet of ironclads could
be destroyed by 1t in fifteen minutes
Coast dttenses would be broken up
like rail fences before tornado ii once
the aerodrome passed over them and
dropped bombs into their midst. At
least this Is what Professor l.angley'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 II at last and to have built
a machine which will render American
armies inyincible by means of bombs
thrown from his airship. He calls 1t
the aerodrome. This machine will be
not less valuable in peace than In war.
A 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 be more safe than
transportation by land. The aerodrome
can dart upon sinking ship and
snatch its passengers from peril. The
airship, 1t Is claimed Is as completely
under control of Its pilot AS IA locomo-
tive is under the guidance OF an engl-
neer
The aerOdrome which Professor
Langley has constructed and tested
cost $4,000. 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 IA 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 1t worked well. Subsequent
trials showed that 1t was not and could
not in that shape be put under perfect
control.
The aerodrome resembles metal
whale propelled by the wings of an al-
batross. 1t is built largely Of alumi-
mum, and the body, or car, is about 20
feet long, 6 feet wide, and 8 feet high.
Liquefied air Is the substance which
gives life to It's body and its wings.
The aerodrome Professor Langley
has constructed can carry five or SIX
people with ease, and it Is only a mat
ter of building a sufficiently large one
to sustain any given weight On en-

tering the machine the doors are first
to be securely fastened and then the
liquid gas. which has been stored with
the refrlgerating tanks is yaporized to
fill the balloon. AS the lifting power
becomes sufficient the machine Is grad
ually lifted bodily from the ground,
and after clearing all distractions the
engines are started. As the vessel
gains headway and Is thus maintained
in the air by its own momentum, the
gas in the balloon is again gradually
liquefied and the balloon Is drawn
down closely over the top of the car
in order to present as little surface for
wind obstruction To the movement Of
the flying machine as possible.-Chi-
