Mr.. Holland is now working on an
apparatus which he believes will per-
NIT men to fly through the air like
birds. At present he does not care to
divulge any of the devices to be used
on his new machine which are patent
able. He recently completed a small
model of his invention and while ex-
perimenting with it found that several
minor changes could be made that
would materially improve the machine
and make its working parts much
lighter than he had expected 1t is his
Intention as soon as he can find a place
suitable for the work to build a full
sized machine that will easily carry a
man weighing from $50 to $50 pounds.
The machine, he says, will weigh
twenty-five or thirty pounds, about the
weight of a bicycle, and it can be
strapped between a mans shoulders
of necessity.
The spread of the aeroplanes, or
wings, will be about twenty-five feet,
and rudder device will be used as a
steering gear. The materials used in
the construction of the machine will be
as light as the strength necessary will
permit. The frames for the wings will
consist of long thin pieces of select
ash. The grain of the wood will run
with the length of the frame, giving 1t
increased strength without the loss OF
any elasticity. The frames will be COW
cred with fine closely woven silk or a
material that will hold the wind. 9th
er parts of the framework will be of
steel wire of not less than $4,000 or
10000 pounds tensile strength.
Professor Langley Of the Smithso-
MAN institution, who was given $4,000
by congressional appropriation for
series of experiments in aerial naviga-
ton, has resumed his tests of a flying
machine on which he has worked for
several years. An improved type of
aeroplane will be taken to an isolated
point down the Potomac river. where
its practical utility will be thoroughly
examined. Professor Langley seems
very confident that his present expert
ments will prove successful
In England T. Hugh Basin is exper-
imenting with mechanical bird aeri-
motor with which he proposes to COM
pete at the st. Louis exposition for the
air ship prize. The wings can be con-
trolled separately, and one man by
working one lever, it is asserted can
regulate every requisite movement of

Stories of Alfred Henry Lewis.
Especial Correspondence
New York, June 22-Morgan Robert
son, whose new story, Sinful Peck"
has just been published. has had va
ried and remarkable career Born at
Oswego, N. Y, he went to sea at the
age of sixteen and for ten years led the
life of sailor. Then, by q curious
change of occupation, he became dia-
mond setter and for another ten years
followed that deEcate trade, as differ
| ent life from that of sailor as could
| well be conceived. After this Mr. Rob-
| ertson tried western life as cowboy,
| easily becoming an expert at making
| lariats by reason of his sailor training.
Up to this time he had done nothing in
literary way except to write verse for
his own amusement He now deter
mined to write story, blocked out the
plot while riding on the elevated rail-
road in New York and, having written
1t, sold it without difficulty. This was
seven or eight years ago. He is now
the author of sixty short stories and
seven books, of which Sinful Peck is
the latest.
A Washington newspaper man tells
me that Alfred Henry Lewis, whose
new historical novel, Peggy O'Neal,"
is attracting considerable attention, in
vented many of the witty remarks at
tributed to the late Speaker Reed and
published them in Chicago paper OF
which he was Washington correspond
ent When Reed was trying to get
several of the New York representa-
tfves to Washington to aid in making
quorum, Bennett of New York wired
from Trenton explaining his delay:
'Washout ON the line. VIII be de-
layed"
To which Reed, according to Lewis,
replied:
Buy another shirt and come on
Another anecdote dealt with Reeds
ready reply in a poker game. In those
days one of the most familiar express
sions heard in the house was the par
Hamentary "Quite a sufficient num-
Der" as the vote of the Republican
side was announced on some party
measure. Of Reed it was written that
after ,sweetening a jack pot several
times in succession and after betting
more than the strength of his hand he
was confronted by four queens trucu-
lently presented by another player.
"Quite sufficient number" Reed is
said to have drawled in the story writ
ten by Lewis, and the expression took
on a new meaning in the house. =
During that same session Springer,
always an insurgent and constant
annoyance to Reed, shouted aloud with
charming effect:
Mr.. Speaker, would rather be right
than president
This is all that is to be found In the
Congressional Record of the next day,
but in the Chicago newspaper of which
Lewis was correspondent Speaker Reed
was shown to have answered drawl-
ingly:

He will never be either"

A OF AN OLD SEA


Capt. George M. Walker, late of
the Old Dominion Line, died at his
residence No. $50 Union street,
Brooklyn, on Friday morning, aged
" years.
On his retirement from active life,
he was the oldest Captain sailing out
of the port of New York. He was
born at sea in July 1926, his father
being Captain of the British Brig
"FOx.D
In his early career, he sailed in
the "Humboldt'i of the New York,
Southampton and Havre S.. S. Co.,
then ON the "Washington," the
"Franklin." and the "Arego." He
then became Captain of the "Ful-
ton," and carried stores to Port
Royal during the wal in the sixties.
He captured the "Margaret and
JESSIE" blockade runners, and later
another blockade runner the sEBan-
shee" off Wilmington, Del. The
cargoes of these two vessels were
sold for $500, 900.
Later Capt. Walker commanded
the "Raleigh, Niagara, Albermarle''
and innumerable other well known
steamers. While on the Cable
marle' he received a gold medal for
rescuing the crew of a wrecked
schooner.
He led an exceedingly active life
and retained to the very last years
of his seafaring life, his mental and
physical faculties. He was held in
high esteem by all the officers of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company
with whom he was connected for SO
many years and was respected by all
who came in contact with him.
Capt. Walker was the father of
thirteen children, the mother and
five of whom survive him.

WHAT OF THE Law?
EDITOR ARGUS

EDITOR ARGUS:
The point that raises this question
is this:
A farmer catches a thief with corn
broken from his field, with a lot of
watermelons in a buggy-he finds
no other tracks of any one walking
except from the buggy, the buggy
being the first n to go over the
path after a heavy rain. The occu-
pant of the buggy practically admits
the theft, valves an examination be-
fore a Justice, when the owner of
the buggy (the thief admitting in
his presence, to the Justice issuing
the warrant, that he has been to the
pen twice for stealing) justifes in
five hundred and turns this same
confessed thief again on the COM
munity TO continue his depredations.
L again ask, What of the Law?
When citizens will thus justify
bonds tor self-confessed thieves, what
extenuating circumstances will be
granted this same farmer should he
shoot dead the next thief caught on
his premises.
Lax justice in grave offences is
what brings about lynchings and in
petty offences makes one, as in this
instance. "long for a whipping post''
and a sheriff that would infict it A
La Thos. Kennedy; and lastly if our
white contigent protects thieves IN
THEIR LIBERTY, how is crime to be
punished?
We cry in vain for Law that is
Law, and where the acknowledged
guilty go not unpublished.
We ask again, "What of the
Law"
