AERIAL NAVIGATION.
The 81. Leais worlds Fair Will OF.
fer Substantial Indacements
For Its Development.

St. Louis, Jan. 6.-The Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Co. will offer a
prize of not less than 100000, and
possibly amounting to s2oo, 200, for a
successful airship to be exhibited at
the exposition in 1908. This announce
ment was made after members of the
committee had determined upon the
feasibility and attractiveness of the
ideas a tournament of airships is the
corollary of the offer of the prize.
Tests of the various airships COM
peting for the prize will be made on
the. site of the exposition, and it is
expected that all the scientists of the
world that have undertaken to solve
the problem of aerial navigation will
be present with their latest devices.
While no special effort will be made
to encourage any particular inventor,
it is thought by the executive com
mittee that Santos-Dum6nt, who has
attained the greatest amount of sue
cess up to the present, will be a
prominent figure in the contest, and
that, with the inducement offered, he
will bring great energy to bear dur
ing the intermediate time SO that his
Eiffel tower fight may be repeated
here with more certainty, and the
journey greatly heightened.
From the first drafting of the class
ihcation- of the exposition exhibits
those things which have to do with
aerial navigation have been given a
prominent place. The decision of the
committee will result in an aero
nautic congress, which will be at
tended by men who have been at
tracing public attention for years
past, each bringing with him his
strongest claim of solving the next
scientific feat the world is looking
forward to. 1t was thought advisa-
bic to offer a large prize, in order to
make the competition as inclusive as
possible. While the honor of taking
the first place in sucha contest would
be regarded as sufficient inducement
by some others who are less able
financially to enter the race may find
financial backing with so generous a
prize in sight. In this way it is be-
lieved that every man with an inven.
ton the plausibility of which he can
demonstrate will be among the con-
teStants

NEW GLYCERINE PRoJECTILE.
A Ca1ifOrnian's Invention that is Be-
ing Considered BY the Ord
nance Department..

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 6.-B. Pettingill,
of this city, has invented glycerine
projectile, which, if the claims of the
inventor hold good, will prove of
great Importance. The mechanism
of the invention is secret, and Pet
tingill is now negotiating with the
United States government for The
sale of the device. The matter will
be considered by the ordnance de-
partment. The invention, Pettingill
says, is shell that will carry, with
out the least conclusion, from so to
200 pounds of glycerine oil as far as
the ordinary she'll can be carried by
ordinary modern ordnance. The con-
cussion necessary to project this
shell, he says, is, by his device, re-
flected back to the sides of the shell
SO that the glycerine oil is not dis
turbed in the least.

4 BADtYDAMAGD VESSEL.
The French Bark Max, Which Sank
the Steamer Walla Walla,
lowed to Port.
HER NOSE IS PRETTY BADLY SMASHED.
Capt. Benoist Denies the Statement
of the Captain of the waIia wall
In That the Max's Lights Were
Not Burning, and Blsmes the
Steamers Erratic Actions.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-The French
bark Max, Capt. Benoist, which was
in collision with and sank the steam
er Walla Walla, causing the loss of
about 40 lives, and which was towed
to this port Sunday night, was badly
damaged in the accident. Her jib-
boom, made of hollow steel, was
broken and twisted, and the tip of it
trailed in the water on the port side
of the vessel and at about right an
giles with the line of the hull. Her
stem was twisted and great gaping
holes had been torn in her bow.
There was one almost at the water
line, and another a few feet above.
Only her water tight compartments
kept her from sinking.
The French vessel left Glasgow 12)
days ago, bound for this port. She
was in ballast and consigned to Fred
erick Henry. Her captain had little
to say regarding the disaster except
that his vessel was closely following
the rules of the road when the
steamer came under the bows of his
bark. He declared that the lights of
the Max were properly burning and
displayed and that the men of his
crew saw the steamer for long time
before the collision. He said:
1--WE could think of no reason why
the men on the steamer did not see
us, and as the vessels approached we
became anxious. Then it was too
late. The steamer had tried to cross
our bows, but had failed. just be-
fore the crash came the steamer
swung slightly to port as though an
effort was being made to pass to our
stern, but the change in her course
had been made too late. The bark
struck the steamer almost amidships
on the port side. For moment they
hung together and then drifted apart.
Our vessel was SO badly damaged
that we thought she would sink, ana
under the circumstances were had all
we could do to take care of our
selves. BY daylight we had beaten
well out toward the sea and were
safe from the breakers, but our ves-
sci was to a great extent unmanage-
able.
ION Saturday morning we accept
ed tow from the steam schooner
Acme, which later was aided by the
cutter McCulloch."
The captain added that he thought
the lockout on the Walla Walla was
intoxicated, but this charge is en-
phatically denied by Capt. Hall, of
that vessel, who says there were
three men on watch at the time.
The second officer, LeChevalier, of the
Max, told substantially the same
story as the captain

At last it looks probable that steel
railroad ties will be made to superscde
oak ties. A new tie made of steel plate
one-half inch thick and as wide as a
wooden tie and semi-oval in shape has
been tried year on road In western
Pennsylvania, where the traffic is
heavy. The ties are as good as new.
If they come in general use it win
