that he should not move about faster
with the aid of wheels because no
wheels were supplied to him by Ma
ture"
No Electrical Flying Machines.
Someone asked Mr. Edison whether
his new storage battery would be of
service in solving the problem of aerial
navigation.
"Oh, no, of course not" he replied.
1T would be too heavy. We must get
the lightest possible motive power.
Thus the greatest factor of this prob
lem is to get a very light motor which
will be powerful enough to operate the
flying machine properly. The best thing
now in sight for this purpose is a
gasoline or gunpowder motor, some
thing that will get up power quickly
and which, at the same time weighs
little. Santos Dumont is on the right
track in that regard, but he can't go
much farther till he gets rid of his
gas bag. You cannot control balloon
in a gale of wind, in order to make
a commercial possibility of the airship,
it VIII be necessary to make it's opera
ton absolutely sure and it's use safe.
The flying machine is bound to come,
but it will take some time at the rate
we are progressing now"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Edison that
perhaps he might take up the prob
lem again himself and assist in the
final solution.
mo, l will not go into anything
which cannot be protected from the
pirates who live off the work of inven-
tors, and l do not believe it would be
possible to secure patent on either
a flying machine or an airship or any
part of one, that would stand the test
of the courts. If someone should
make a commercially successful flying
machine dozens would at once copy
the models and take away the fruits
of the original inventors labor. There
isn't a judge in the country who would
hold that there was really any inven-
ton in such an apparatus, because so
much has been done and written
about that the only difference between
the successful machine, which is to
be, and the many failures, which have
been, will be very slight. DOUBT
whether any new principle will be dis
covered on which even claim LOT
patent may be made.

IN A DRESS SUIT CASE.
Some Carpenters Now Garry Kits of
 Tools About in Style,

Without being in the least bit ashamed of his trade, whatever it may be, the modern mechanic, when he has
 occasion to go about the city to and from a job carrying a kit of tools, is very likely to carry it in manner less conspicuous than formerly. His garb
 also, unless he is engaged in some trade
 that leaves it's mark on ones clothes, is just like that of the majority of the men he meets.
 | So there was met the other day going back to the shop apparently
 from some job that he had been at work on somewhere, a carpenter, who might have been thought to be some body going travelling, if it had not been
 for the end of a saw sticking out of one
 end of his dress suit case. A million years ago, more or less when a carpenter went anywhere in the city, he carried his tools in an open box having a handle at the top of q length
 wise middle partition in it, this box | being much like an exaggerated knife 1 tray. One end of the long rip saw that lS dll lllENlIdDlG pdLL tL lFlG GdlDtlltci . | kit projecting beyond the end of the box resting in a slit cut there to re- ceive it.
 But this up-to-date carpenter had everything packed in a narrow and more convenient compass, in dress suit case; and not only cut of the way
 but out of sight all but about a foot of the rip saw, which projected from lone end in the case, through a slit made for it.
 It did seem at first glance little odd, no doubt, to see a man carrying a suit case with saw sticking out of one end; but there is no manner of doubt all the same that this is the very latest and most strictly up -to-date method of carrying a kit of carpenters tools

SCRJTB-DAY IN HOLLAND.

Saturday in Holland is devoted exclu- svely to housekeeping within and without Early in the morning every stick of furniture is carefully rubbed and wiped and taken out of the house. Then the women, with their skirts tucked up, entirely flood the rooms with bucket after bucket of water, brought up from the canal by means of the shoulder-yoke With broom and brush they souse and scrub the red tiled floor, and finally pull up a plug in one corner to let the water flow out let us hope into the canal.
 While the floor is drying, great pol ishing goes on In the street. Quaint old brass lamps and candlesticks, to- bacco boxes and ash-trays, huge milk cans-all are furnished until, like gold en mirrors, they reflect the faces bent over them.
 The lacquer man is busy on Saturday. He goes from house to house painting with designs of guady birds and won- drous leaves and flowers.
 The street is in turmoil until noon, when order is partially restored and the scanty midday meal partaken. In the afternoon washing is resumed. The ex- teriors of the cottages are scrubbed from roof to pavement, and every trace of mould removed for in this low. wet air the green moss gathers quickly Then the brick pavements are drenched and carefully dried, and l have even seen the women slip off their sabots and tiptoe to- their doorWays in their wOolen chaussons. so as not to soil the immacu- late sidewalk

FAMOUS CROSS AGAIN STANDS.
Historic Landmark in Santa Clara, Cal,
 Replaced

Historic Landmark in Santa Clara, Cal,
 Replaced
 The ancient cross which for more than a hundred years has stood as a landmark in Santa Clara, says the San Jose tCal) correspondent of the Chica- go Tribune, has been replaced with great cermony. It was blown down by "a windstorm in March last. The frag- ments were carefully saved and fas- tened together so that the cross now islstronger than 1t was before.
 Father Kenna, who conducted the ex- ercises, told briefly the history of this great mission one of the most success ful, if not the fairest. of them all.
 The first foundation, January 12, 1717 was near where now stands the resi- dence of Peter Donohue, on the Laurel wood Farm Here, after the first mass celebrated in the valley, Father Pena planted the great mission cross and be- gan an adobe church, which was ruined by the flood of 1779. The undaunt ed men at once chose a second site. where in l7Sl rose the second mission church. This was badly shaken by the great earthquake in 1918, and again the friars sought another and better site the one on which the present church now stnds.
 Here in 1922 the venerable pr. Serra came to bless and open the church on August II, the eve of St. Claire's feast, and here the great mission cross was again erected, and around it many a time the pious padres gathered their dusky neophytes and told them in lov- ing and burning words the ineffable story of their Divine Master and Saw ious, breaking to them the bread of life. Father Kenna, then spoke of the cross, of how it braved storms of long years, and, though several times thrown down, still, as to-day, it was reared again by faithful hands, He spoke of the many and Wondrous doings of which the cross had been silent witness during 125 years.

Wbere the Climate Is Dure
Hnd the Hlr is Balmy.&

Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-At Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about eleven inches. Some years it is
not even as much as that. During the
nine months, October to June inclusive,
1894-5 there were but twenty five cloudy
days snd nine of those were in one
month.
Ter r-perature.-During the months OF
,une, July and August the average tenn
oerature is about 80 degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
that no Inconvenience is experienced.
There being but limited irrigation in the
,eighborhood of Tncson there is no
humidity produced in that way, as is
notably the case in the neighborhood of
Phoenix, where agricultural develop
ment has through the aid of irrigation
reached great stage, The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryness of Climate.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's dryness. 1t
is phenominal. There is no such thing as
what is called sultry weather as IN the
east. A recent visitor to Tucson joking
" remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is fact that the eff
feet of heavy shower is observable for
but a few hours. In this dry climate
sunstrokes are unknown. The dry air
induces exceedingly rapid evaporation OF
the abundant perspiration. AS mat
ter of course the supply of fluid must be
maintained, hence one drinks a great
deal of water here.
| Good Water at Tucson.-Everyone is
aware of the importance of good water
and this Tucson certainly has. More
over. there are two ice factories which
supply any quantity of beautiful ice.
Effect of dry Climate on Temperature
Another effect of the extremely dry eli
mate is that the sensible temperature il
tar less than that recorded by the ther
mometer would indicate. Some CLAIM
that there is difference of as mach al
{ 6tteen degrees between the sensible tenn
nerature and that recorded by the ther
mometer.

they are well, or until it is apparent that

"Maay physicians in the east order
patients to California for the winter,
apparemtly with View of sending them
TO a dry climate. The relative humidity
in southern California is as great, and
IN soree instances greater, than that oa

fac4, clinical experience has proven that
more freanently patients required to be
ssnt to am ALTITUDE or less, rather than
uaore than 8, 900 feet. The altitude Of
Tucson is 400 feet. and that seems to
be AMPLY high for all bus the most ex-
ceptional cases. The city Is situated in
| a basin near the underground Santa
Cruz river. Il is completely walled in
bv massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to
the east, the Rincon; to the south, the
Santa Rita: and ON the west, the Tue
SON. Each of these ranges has an alti-
tus1e of 5, 900 Seet at least. Mount Le-
mon. the highest peak of the Catalinas,

Mount Wrightson in the Santa Ritas,
