Count Zeppelin seems to take his
airship seriously as a machine that
in considerable measure has solved
the aerial navigation problem. 1t
certainly worked better at it's recent
performances than it has worked be-
fore. When there is not too much
wind it can go up and make circle
in the air and come down gently.
So much it has done. But it is
clumsy, and the believers in the aero
plane think little of it, In appear
ance it is like a steamship in the air,
for it is a long, narrow balloon, made
in compartments, with propellers to
drive it and rudders to steer it by.
Its protector has now got to the point
where he can make his trial and ex-
periments in the air instead of on
land, and that is undeniably an ad,
vantage, thinks Harpers Weekly.

by order of the Pittsburg board of
education, more time for study dur
ing school hours is to be permitted to
the pupils of the high school, and the
necessity for home work will be obvi-
ated In this reform, as is pointed out
by the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph,
the school authorities are beginning at
the wrong end. Pupils in the high
school, by reason of their age and
strength and the shorter school hours,
are better able to stand the strain of
home work than are the children in
the grammar schools. Children who
ought to spend in play all their day
light hours out of school, and who
should go early to bed to give the
forces of growth and development in
their systems their proper opportunity
are required to spend one or two hours
at home in study. The system con-
tinues because the great majority Of
parents offer no objections Indeed,
instances might be cited where par
ents, in school districts which had
abandoned home work, protested that
their children did not have school
tasks enough.

FAR AHEAD

Bristol Defender Is 10 Be In
Water a Full Month Ahead
Of The Boston Boat.

Unless all signs fall the Belmont syn
dicate's cup defender will be in the water
a month before any of it's American RI
walls.
While the steel angles for the frames
have not yet arrived at Bristol the rapid
work will more than make up the delay
in this item OF construction.
In a few days the keel will be ready

Great interest is shown I'm Bristol in
regard to the crew now being selected
by Capt. Rhodes to man the new boat.
while IA IL considered absolutely neces-
sary 10 obtain the services of the best
American seamen IL Is recognized that the
men Capt Rhodes has chosen from Long
Island are better than the product of Deer
Isle.
Only IS OF the Deer Isle tars who helped
defeat Shamrock I. served on Defender
In her cup races in 1895.
Nearly all the others had to be trained
hard before they could handle sails with
the Scandinavian crew Capt Rhodes
picked up In New York for the Defender
I'm 1899.
Hence the opinion in Bristol Is that
Columbia will be manned by Deer Island
ers and those showing proficiency In the
trial races will take the places of any
poor seamen Capt Rhodes may find on
the new yacht.

Mrs. Fuller admitted she promised to
give Mrs Harris $1,000, but there was no
consideration for the promise as Mrs
Harris never rendered any service to Mr..
