AIRSHlPS IN PLENTY
Foreigners Still. Pushing Their Ex-
periments HOPEFULLY.

Paris, Sept. 2-The science of aerial
flight commands wide attention, and
the prizes aggregating $150,000 offered
y the st. Louis worlds fair have stin-
uJated wide experimental work. The
Velo of Paris quotes G. Tissaudier as
saying: ''Those satisfied with making
plans and sketching them on a slip Of
paper have no idea of the trouble it
takes to execute them in the expert
mental way" The Velo further says:
Last year at this time everybody was
enthusiastic about the experiments of
SantOs-Dumont, and the press of the
whole world was praising the young
aeronaut and predicted the coming of
practical aerial navigation. Every
day we were entertained with some
new projects to advance the science of
aerial navigation and it went SO far
as to propose for 1902 an airship race
Well! What became of all these
bellons d'essai? 1t was thought
that the death of Servero annihilated
al ideas of future aerial navigation.
But it proves to be a great mistake
about the dirigibles, they really exist
many in course of construction, and
some ready to begin their experiments
These are few of them: First, the
Santos-Dumont No. Z and 8, which
give the best chances of success. Next
the Vile de Paris which belongs to
M. Henri Deutsh and is built by M. V.
Latin, one of our best engineers. It
is probable that this dirigible will be
able to begin experiments at the end
OF the summer. In the village of
Moison, near Nantes, an immense
building shelters the dirigible of
Pierre and Paul Lebaudy, built from
the plans Of don Simoni This air
ship will be able to leave the shed at
the end of the month. In the Park of
Vaugirara Mr.. de Bradsky hopes to
be able to experiment his dirigible in
couple of months. Many others are
working to solve this difficult problem
of aerial navigation For example.
M. Tur, at Courbevois; M. Louis Pillet.
at Vincennes; NJ. Roze, at Colonies:
and Messrs. Smitter and Be Debaveux
at Vincennes. Don't let us forget the

his very interesting experiments in
maritime aeronautics In Brazil.
Jose de Patronino works seriously on
the same problem. AS for the Ameri-
cans OF the United States their bright
does not know any
bounds and their enthusiasm is strong
er than ever. The inventors have not
lost any hope Of success; and their
desire being stronger than ours. we
must be confident to see later on their
experiments crowned with success"

happening upon an isolated squad CT
men, the temptation to overpowor
them with a greater force was too
strong and they turned out of theic
way. This altered the whole plan f
the Indian campaign and brought on
the battle of Wood lake.
The Indians had mapped out ii.
excellent plan of battle. They had
arranged to have the fight take
place about a mile from the cam,
on the road along which the troops
should march. At the point dete'
mined on they had secreted a larg

But Sibley did not move early. Il
sent out four or five wagons to ge,
potatoes, and these wagons, driving
out of the road, ran into the ambush

fight. Hundreds Of Indians were sta
toned so far out that they did no,
get in the fight at all. The Indians
were defeated and negotiations fol-
peace resulted. Thirty eight Indian

IMPROVE STATE HOUSE

Senator Spencer Jones, of Montgom

plan TO better the sanitary conditions ol

log will give greatly increased room for

will enable the Stale to tear down

the first place. as temporary struc ure.
designed to meet the needs OF the State
until such time as il could erect a build.
ing in harmony with the State House.
Senator Jones will probably introduce
bill this session TO tear down the annex
and to replace the original State House
as nearly as possible as il was first built.
He would like especially 10 restore the
Senate chamber 10 It's original plan with
gallery. as is shown in the paintings
and illustrations OF the time of its erec-
ton. This would probably make it too
small for the needs Of that body. and in
order to make room be would move the
Senate chamber 10 the House chamber
and provide new quarters in the new
State building tor the House. The in
creased membership OF both houses which
will be made by the addition OF new
delegation from a new district in Balii-
more will greatly overcrowd the already
overcrowded chambers The whole ques-
tion OF room tor the state department is
one to be settled at this session. Before
another General Assembly meets the new
State building will be completed and
ready for occupancy.
