CROSSES CITY IN AIRsHIP.
San Francisco Senator Makes Second
Partly Successful Flight-An-
other Attempt Coming.

Dr. August Greth, of San Francisco,
inventor of an airship which several
months ago vas steered with fair sue
cess, though it finally landed in the bay,
made second ascension the other day
in his aerial craft. 1t was his intention
to sail over the business portion of the
city, but in this he was not successful.
The cigar-si.aped balloon with it's me-
chanical attachments rose quickly from
its moorings, but apparently made no
progress against the light breeze 1t
swung about IA various directions, then
drifted slowly with the wind until it dis
appeared in the smoke hanging over
South San Francisco.
After travelling four miles from his
starting point, DR.. Greth made success
full landing. He said that his Inability
to control the airship was due entirely
to the failure of his engine to work. He
will make necessary alterations and at
tempt another fight soon.

HARD WINTER FOR INDIANS.

stricken as at the present time. This
is especially true of the Cherokee ma

only reason he can assign. is that the
Indians believed they would have plen-

and the payment of the loyal Creek
claim, and failed to put in as large
crops as usual. This, coupled with the
short crop this year, has reduced the
supplies to the poverty line, even this
early in the winter. None of the In
dams have realized on their lands. and
the loyal Creek claim will not be paid
until the hardest part of the winter IL

MAKES PROGRESS m fbsr6.
CoAard Steamship Company Of Lon-
don Reports Advance IN Turbiue
Experiments for Vessels.

The Cunard Steamship company, Of
London, continues to make progress
with its arrangements to drive two
new mail steamers by means of steam
turbines. All the company is waiting
for is report by the commission apl
pointed to inquire into the matter.
The committee has completed its tests
OF turbines as far as has been possible
under the circumstances. Il seems
pretty certain that four shafts and
four sets Of turbines will be adopted
instead Of three. as at hrst proposed.
Indeed, tests are in progress at the
government tanks at Haslar with later
models prepared to determine the re-
sistance and power for given speeds,
but with the addition of the stern
brackets for carrying the four shafts
and propellers. Naturally four brack-
cts have greatly increased the resist
ance, reducing the speed, and the prob
lem is to devise an arrangement to
give the highest propulsive efficiency.
The large dimensions of the early
models are still maintained, which
would suggest that not much saving In
weight is anticipated with the adoption
of turbine machinery, but there ara
other qualities Of no inconsiderabla
value.
The question on which the commit
tee has been most exercised has had
reference to the economy tests which
have been carried out. not only with
the two channel steamers. but also on
land stations, where the advantage Of
superheaters has been compared
against results with ordinary saturated
steam. 1t is supposed that generally
economy from the use OF superheated
steam is regarded as equal to nearly
one per cent. per ten degrees Fahren-
heit OF superheat. and as 200 degrees
Is not at all excessive. the gain might
be from II to 20 per cent.

other senators will desire further to
discuss the treaty or any amendments
to it. All amendments will be voted
down.
There will be only 16 or II votes or

will make another speech before the

With the Panama question disposed
of, the senate will take up approp- alton

success which has attended the
interurban electric traffic. mostly pas
senger, and partly freight it would
not be without foundation to consider
this mode of transportation as an
economic factor for the next genera
ton, If not this one. Why, therefore,
would it not be feasible to construct
highways, with federal or state
money, which would traverse sections
of country now suffering from lack
of proper railroad facilities. The
state, or the United States, could
build such highways, with room for
pedestrians, vehicles, riders, and also
have tracks for railroad purposes, and
these could be used by paying fixed
charges, just as stated In your edi-
torial of the 18th inst, headed "A
Novel Railroad Suggestion"
Representative Brownlow's bill to
Congress, also mentioned in your Is
sue of the 18th, surely deserves closer
study from political economists than
it has received so far. 1t is the opin-
ion of the writer that while trunk
lines in this country furnish freight
about as cheaply as would or could be
done under government control, much
better facilities could be given by state
or federal assistance on crossroad lines.
A state could set aside a sum of
money out of it's annual budget for
the building of such roads, and cities
or counties desiring to participate in
the fund should be required to bear
part of the expense of building same.
In the same way as a city builds it's
pavements, the property holders shar-
ing cost with city. In this manner
those communities most progressive
would reap the benefits. A commits
sion, appointed by the proper author
ity, would be necessary so no useless
roads shall be built. But this article
intends only to give a view, not a con-
viction. Would like to hear the other
side, or others on this side. G.
