is capable of would be hard to beat. This
is 1T:
"A cat living at the power house was
asleep In the rim of a fly-wheel when the
engines were started, and for five hours
pussy was whirled around at the rate OF
sixty miles per hour. When at length the
engines stopped, the cat jumped down

GREAT INTEREST IN
THE AIRSH|P DERBY
Worlds Inventors viii Contest
at St. Louis
THERE ARE MANY ENTRIES
santos-Dumont Would Be Hot Favorite
in the Betting If Stakes Were
Made-Flrst Ship Has
Arrived.
BY JOHN C. SMALL.

St Louis, June 4.-Navigators of the
air with all manner of flying machines
and balloons are gathering at the worlds
fair for the aeronautic contests, which
begin on June 6. A prize of 100000 goes
to the winner of this first aerial derby,
and every ambitious inventor in the world
has entered the competition.
Twelve acres of space in the western
part of the exposition grounds has been
enclosed by a fence 80 feet high which
serves as wind-break Here the air
ship shed is situated and from 1t the
races will be started. The first inventor
to arrive at st. Louis was NJ McGary
of Memphis, Mo-, who came this week
and brought his machine.
Captive balloons solved the problem of
laying out the course several hundred
feet up in the air, and for the grand
prize race there will be three of these
places so as to describe the letter l., the
length of the legs being not less than
ten nor more than fifteen miles. The
course will begin and end in the fenced
enclosure adjoining the aeronautic sta
bles
With the protection of the high fence
the airships will arise from the concourse,
soar over the exposition city in the direc-
ton Of the staked balloons, and on re-
turning alight again within the enclosure.
In the center of the concourse Is the
aerodrome, or stable for the machines.
1t contains two huge stalls, each $50 feet
long, 40 feet wide and 80 feet high. Here
the arships will be kept when not in
practice or competition.

First Prize 100000.

A prize of 100000 is to be awarded to
the aeronaut whose average speed dur
ing the three fastest trips shall be great
est. Each craft may pass over the course
In a continuous flight as many times as
is desired, and its time as recorded by
the judges will be the average time in
which 1t covers the full course, but this
shall count as but one trip. Each COM
petitor may make as many trials as he
desires. No trial will be considered UNI
less the full course Is covered, and the
aeronaut must make at least three com
plete trips around the course at an aver
age speed of twenty miles an hour.
1t is probable that the Archduke Leo
pold Salvador of Austria, commanding
general of the Austrian artillery, and an
aeronaut of worldwide repute, because
of his ascensions with THE Meteor"
will attend these airship contests at the
worlds fair. He may be asked to accept
the presidency Of honor of the jury for
aeronautics Other notabes expected are
M. Santos-Dumont, Sir Hiram Maxim,
Professor Langley, Leo Stevens and Oc-
tave Chanute, all of whom have achieved
fame in aerial navigation.
If bets were posted this far in advance
of the airship races, Santos-Dumont
would be a red hot favorite on the
strength of past performances. He Is
the premier aeronaut of the world and
has more victories to his credit than any
of those who will compete with him at

win the worlds fair prize. and with that
intention he designed and has built his
mo. ~ a slim-waisted monster with
torpedo-shaped gas bag 100 feet long and

of 70-horse power.

Interest in Americans.

Lively interest is being taken In an
American entry which may give the dar-
ing Brazilian a tussle for first honors. 1t
is that of the Wright Brothers OF Day
ton, o. who have spent five years in
study and experiment and have con-
structed a machine that flew three miles
in the face of a strong wind. Their man
euvers as witnessed by many persons
have been pronounced the most success
full feat yet performed by an airship, and
curiosity is manifested in what the
Wright machine will 60 at the world
fair
The aeroplane, or machine heavier than
air, depending altogether upon dynamic
energy for lifting power and flight, has
many followers Professor Langley, al
though unfortunate in having lost several
machines of this class, still has faith in
the theory and may emerge from his
last wreck with a better perfected craft
with which to compete with the world s
airship builders.
Sir Hiram Maxim, the eminent Eng
fish inventor, is expected to have a ma
chine in these races that will possess
some new and marvellous improvements
over his former efforts. Octave Chanute.
an American aeronaut, has theories very
much along the line of those of Sir Hiram,
and these two gentlemen will doubtless
represent what is known as the kite
flying class.
Effort has been made by the exposition
management to weed out the freak and
untried ideas. No application VIII be
admitted to the competition who does
not present satisfactory evidence Of hav-
ing made at some time a flight over at
least a mile course with a machine SINH
lar to that which he proposes to use In
these races. This will not exclude any
worthy craft and it will confine the con-
test to machines that promise at least
creditable performances.
From June to September these airship
trials will be In progress, and the flights
of the various machines In their efforts
for the 100000 prize will be one Of the
features of the great worlds fair. visi-
tors from all parts Of the world have been

Nets Were Not Tarred.

Editor of the JOURNAL: In your is
sue of the 23d inst. we notice that your
Holly Beach correspondent states that
the fire in our barn was caused by
spontaneous combustion among a pile
of recently tarred nets. We wish to
state that we have not had any nets
tarred at our fishery since the first of
last October and the Spontaneous
combustion" was caused by a crowd of
boys who forced their way into the barn
and set fire to a pile of old netting
stored there. We desire to thank the
Holly Beach Fire company and all
others who helped to extinguish the
blaze. Trusting this explanation to be
satisfactory, we remain,

Banks Want to Loan on Real Estate

After hanging fire in the Committee
on Banking and Currency for several
years, a bill has at last been reported
favorably from that committee author
izing national banks to make loans on
real estate st curity. This amendment
to the present national bank laws is
desired by a number of Western and
Southern members of Congress. 1t has
been before the Banking and Currency
Committee through successive Congress
es, but has new been able to get past
the opposition of Representative Hill of
Connecticut. The latter is no longer a
member of this committee, and yester-
day during the absence of Chairman
Fowler and one or two others who are
not friendly to the measure a favorable
report was obtained on it.
IL authorizes national banking asso-
Citations to make loans on real estate
security. Under the present law banks
are denied this privilege, although they
are permitted to make loans on all
kinds of personal security, as we'll as
buy and own bonds. This act was
adopted in 1864, and it is pointed out
by the friends of the pending bill that
conditions have greatly changed since
that time.
The bill provides that any national
bank may loan 25 per cent. of its cap
ital on unincumbered real estate, ex-
elusive of all Improvements thereon, to
the extent of so per cent. of a conserva-
tive market valuation of the property.
Banks are not permitted to make loans
on any real estate outside of the state
or territory in which they may be loca-
ted. The report on the bill says that
when the national banking law was
drafted forty years ago it was on the
theory that in times of depression banks
could not promptly realize on this class
of security. The real estate of the coun-
try has largely been settled since then
by great cities, towns and villages, and
large farming interests have grown and
extended, all of which has largely in
creased the domestic and commercial
value of real estate. Another point
raised in favor of this proposed amend
ment is that state banks are permitted
to lend any part of their capital on
real estate .-Brookiyn Eagle.
