Spencer as his airship was rushing
head on toward an approaching ex-
press train near Preston, England the
other day.
stop your airship," yelled the engi-
neer.
Mr.. Spencer proved that his airship
is dirigible by lodging the express
train, ramming a tree, and ending his
26-mile voyage in its branches. He
was uninjured.
Spencer, who recently made a sue
cessful trip over London. rose to-day
from Blackpool, but, finding the north
west breeze too strong to make head
way against it, he proceeded in a
southwesterly direction and landed in
the open country.
There was a good breeze when he
assembled. When he was 900 feet high
he made several evolutions against
the wind and finally sailed off in the
same direction the wind was blowing.
When he was descending he found
he was over a railroad, with his trail
ing rope dangling among the tele-
graph lines along the line. His dia-
logue with the engineer followed.

THE BATTLE OF TAKU.
Tells How Anxious the Americans
Were to Get Into the Fight.

The advance sheets of Josef Her
rings book, 1.-The Battle Of Taku," OF
which engagement he was an eyewit-
ness, says, discussing American non
participation:
''The Monocacy, called by the Chi
nese the jinrikisha of the sea, because
it was sidewheeler, was anchored off
the railway depot at Tong Ku before
the bombardment. The last train from
Tientsin brought hundreds of fugi-
tives, many of whom were taken on
board the Monocacy, it having received
orders from Washington not to take
part in the fighting.
This displeased the American Off
GERS. When mingling with the officers
of other nations on the wharf on the
Pei-Ho the Americans expressed dis
satisfaction. The foreign officers gen
orally sympathized with the feelings
of the Americans, who did not want to
see the fight without taking a hand in
it. Capt. White did not share in this
public discussion of the United States
action, which was confined to the
juniors.
During the bombardment the Mon
ocacy was struck by two shells from
the forts. Capt. White would like to
have gone into action then, but could
not do so because his vessel was
crowded with noncombatants."

The two most completely oversol6
products of the United States are
those of the steel mills and the loco
motive plants. The railroad mana
gers are in desperate straits for loco
motives, though quantities of raw ma

shipment at many industrial centers
East-bound lines are troubled rather
by shortage of engines than one OF
cars. Most of them have enough cars
for their present large tonnage, but
are short of engines to haul the cars
when loaded.

In China, it is nothing out of the

When a certain childless erimina

son, at least, to worship him after
