The farmers committee also took up tn
proposition OF shipping the wheat from

AN AERIAL CRUISER.
Brooklyn Man Invents WarshIp to
Drop Explosives.

And now, after Marconi and his air
messages, comes j. Franklin Cameron
OF Brooklyn with 4 death dealing bat
tleship guaranteed to fly in the air
far above the reach of guns below and
deal death to the enemy, says the New
York Press. Mr.. Cameron lives in the
Hotel st. George and has asked for
floor space in the st. Louis exhibition
that he may show the model of an
aerial seacoast defensive cruiser.
The warship Mr.. Cameron has in
mind will weigh twenty tons, carry
crew of eight men and will be made of
aluminium and steel. 1t can drop
load of dynamite on ship or on city.
The cruiser can be carried on Il float
ing warship and sent up in the air at
the entrance to harbOr. The plan of
construction is much on the theory in
use by the Frenchmen who in recent
years have built airships. Propulsion
is obtained by Il combination of aero
planes and cylinders. \ supply of gas
for use in the cylinders will, it is al
legged, regulate the speed and flying
power of the warship. y son of In
ventor Cameron, seen in the Hotel st.
George the other day. said his father
had worked many years upon several
models and at last had completed one
which he was sure would be success
full. The Russian and French govern
ments, he said, have looked at the
model and We're watching with much
interest the final touches. The air
ship, young Mr.. Cameron said, could
be navigated by one engineer and
made TO remain stationary over ship,
Il fort or a city while the crew dropped
explosives below. The elder Mr.. Cam
eron is Il linen merchant who has
given much of his spare time to these
experiments. He believes that should
his model be a success wars will. come
to an end, and that has been his chief
aim in attempting to perfect his aerial
cruiser.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE
QUIRED.

Owing to the recent large influx Of
population into Western Canada il
has become absolutely necessary in
many parts of Manitoba, Assiniboia,
Saskatchewan and Alberta to in
crease the school accommodation. In
many places buildings have been
erected that are only h~alf-occupied.
This is perhaps as good evidence as
will be found not only of their salts
faction with their present school sys-
tenn and their confidence that it will
remain as it is, but also of their firm
belief in the future expansion of the
country, in increased immigration,
and it further indicates that they
have little fear that the well estab-
lished rate of births in civilized COM
munities will not be maintained
there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great in
ducements, which are opening up the
new settlements. Agents Of the Gov
eminent of Canada are actively at
work in different portions of the
States for the purpose of giving in
formation to possible settlers, and
advertisements are now appearing in
a large number Of papers, giving the
names and locations of these Agents.

FAIR EXHIBITS CLASSIFIED.
Official Classification of Exhibits
for the St. Louis Worlds Fair
Issued In Pamphlet Form.

st. Louis, Dec. 24.-The department
OF exhibits Of the Worlds fair has
just issued a pamphlet containing the
complete official classification of ex-
hibits. The list is largely the work
of Frederick j. V. Skiff, and the class
ification Of the Paris exposition in
1900 forms the basis on which it is
drawn. In getting up the document
the classifications of all modern ex-
positions were consulted and good
points taken from each.
The eXhibis are divided into six.
teen departments, lettered consecu.
lively from "a" to 'P." Each depart
ment is subdivided into groups, which
are subdivided into classes. In all
there are tifty-three classes, which
cover every article which will be on
exhibition at the fair. Several thou
sands OF the pamphlets will be print
ed and sent to prospective exhibitors
in every section of the world.
Departments which make I'D the
c~lassiications are: Department of
education, art, liberal arts, manu-
~factures,- machinery, electricity,
transportation, agriculture, horti-
culture, forestry, mines and metal.
lurgy, fish and game, anthropology.
social economy and physical culture.
The largest departement is that of
manufactures, which contains thirty.
four groups and 231 classes.

Newport News, Va, Dec. 29.-At
11:12 o'clock Saturday morning the
new battleship Missouriwas launched
here with impressive ceremonies. AS
the big sea fighter Slipped down the
ways Miss Marian Cockrell. daughter
of Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, with
a bottle of wine of Missouri vintage,

Cockrell, beside whom stood her
maids of honor, Miss Marie Houx,

Lieut.-Gov. John A. Lee.
When the big ship had glided off
the ways into the water, the crowd
on the guests platform gave three
cheers for Miss Cockrell, three for
the army and navy, three for Secre-
tary Long, then three for the ship
yard.
Just before the props were knocked

abreast of the boilers and engines by
a side armor 6 inches thick. In the
casemate are placed ten of the 6-inch
guns the vessel carries. Above this
on the upper deck four 6-inch guns
are placed, in the vicinity of which
6-inch armor is worked far enough

The main battery of the ship con-

two balanced turrets, and sixteen g.

The secondary battery consists

The Missouri carries IA Hats, of
which one is a 4O-foot steafl cutter,
and another a 3O-foot steamfhtter of
the usual navy type. The lPats are
handled by four cranes ops,ated by
steam, and each of which ctn lift the

the rate of 40 feet per minfte.
Bilge keels to reduce ruling are
fitted to the vessel, experiments in
recent years in our sld foreign
nayies having demonstrated the great
efficiency of these keels III preventing
excessive rolling. Hydrstlic gear is
used in steering the vessel, and can
put the rudder from hlrdaport to
hardastarboard in 20 seconds when
the vessel is moving at FULL speed.
Electricity is used for lighting the
vessel and operating tie turrets and

tween parts Of the ships and for 9th
er minor purposes. Four powerful
searchlights will give warning Of the
approach Of hostile vessels. For night
signalling the ship carries two sets
