AIRSHIP AS WAR MACHINE.
Funds for Experiments of Prof Lang
ley Allotted by Ordnance Board.


Washington. July $3.50 much inter-
est has been aroused in the last week
over Prof. Langley's flying machine that
there has been frequent inquiry as to
where the money spent in the expert
ments came from.
1t has been enormously stated that
congress made a direct appropriation
for the machine, which it is understood
cost about $4,000 Investigation shows
that Prof. Langley is experimenting
with what is regarded technically as
war machine"
The board of ordnance and fortifica-
tons made two allotments of $4,000
each November 8. 1898. and December
1S, 1893, respectively. for the construc-
ton and test of a flying machine, under
the direction of Mr.. s. P. Langley. The
allotments were made out of the regu-
lar appropriation for the board of
ordnance and Notifications for the cur
rent year.
In its report of general operations"
Tor the year 1889. the board refers
lows:
1T will be noted that there has been
marked increase in the number of NY
ing machines, aerodromes. and other
similar devices designed for air naviga-
ton.
This is no doubt due to the unauthor-
lied publication in the daily press, some
months ago. of the fact that the board
had made an allotment of funds to en-
able Mr.. S P. Langley, secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, to personally
conduct series of practical expert
ments in this line of direct military in
veStigations."

Santa Fe Adopts New System
for Distributing Material.
Goods viii Be Shipped from
Topeka Store House.
TRIAL TRIP In AUGUST.
Experiment Car Being Fitted
for Tour of Lines.
If Successful, Five Cars Will
Be Equipped.

1t has been announced that the Santa
Fe railway will shortly enstan new
system of furnishing the small stations
on the line with storehouse material.
Formerly this work was handled from
the storehouse in Topeka. The goods
were packed and shipped direct to their
destination. This way of furnishing sta
tons with material has been found to
be unsatisfactory in some respects and
it has been decided to make a change
Hereafter the Santa Fe will have several
supply cars in service. These cars will
leave headquarters with a plentiful sup
ply of goods and will visit each of the
stations leaving whatever is needed at
each point.
The first of these cars is now being
built at the Santa Fe shops and it is
expected that it will be finished in tina
for 1t to start on its first tour of the
lines on August II. The start will be
made at Kansas City. If this car proves
to be a success others Will be built and
supply cars will be put in service all
over the system. 1t is expected that five
cars Will be a sufficient number for this
work. Each car will carry such mater
ials as are needed the most such as sta
tionery and track implements.
Each car will be in charge of a man
appointed for that purpose by N. NJ
Rice, general Storekeeper for the Santa
F'e. This system of distributing store
house materials has been in use on the
Northern Pacific and Norfolk and West
ern railways for some time but this is
the Santa Fe's first experience.

CAVE FULL OF ICE.
Enough to Supply a Big City for a
Whole Summer.

Richmond, Va, July 29-Harrison
Martin. a carpenter, has discovered d
cave in Pocahontas county containing
an inexhaUstible supply of ice. BY what
strange freak of nature the ice was
formed in the cave is not yet ex-
planned Martin has built a passage
way from the mouth of the cave, which
is high on the side of rugged hill, and
is marketing the ice over many miles
of territory.
Martin was prospecting about in an
aimless way when he saw the hole in
the side of the hill. The opening inter-
ested him so that he decided to investi-
gate He let himself down to it by a
rope from some trees above, and on
entering was astonished to find him
self in a vast hall piled high with irreg-
ular blocks of ice. The ice pile extend
ed as far as he could see, and is suffice
lent for the needs of a big city for a
whole summer

LOWELL IN CHARGE.
Acting as Santa Fe Superintendent of
Motive Power.

1t is expected that some time this
week the appointment of a successor TO
succeed Geo. r. Henderson, as superin-
tendent of motive power for the Santa
Fe, will be made.
Mr.. Henderson's resignation is effec-
tive August l and if the change of office
is carried on according to the usual
custom the circular announcing the ap-
pointment of his successor will be Is
sued before that date. Meanwhile Mr..
Alfred Lowell, assistant to Mr.. Hender-
son, is looking after the business Of
the office. 1t is understood that all
correspondents have dropped Mr.. Hen
derson's name and are addressing Mr..
Lowell as superintendent of motive
power. All business of that office is be-
ing carried on under Mr.. Lovells name.
For this reason it is thought that Mr..
Lowell has already been appointed to
the position and that the authorities
are only waiting for Mr.. Henderson's
resigna ton to become effective before
announcing Mr.. Lovells appointment.
