AIR SHIPS WILL BE SUCCESS
AERIAL NAVIGATION A POSSIBILITY
OF THE NEAR FUTURE.
Those Who Now Scott Santos Dumont's
Efforts to Perfect an Air Ship May
Live to See His LaborS Rewarded.


Wireless telegraphy has not yet
reached the acme of perfection, al
though messages are readily sent and
received by this wonderful system.
And yet the world already takes the
invention of wireless biography as a
matter of course. In this age OF great
achievement and discovery it seems as
if nothing is too stupendous for man to
undertake and that failure to evolve
something useful as we'll as won derfu!
is the exception, not the rule.
Some things that been attempted
have not been brought to perfection
yet, but there is nothing discouraging
in this. Obstacles serve only to spur
huTaan genius to renewed action an0
greater exertion. We travel by land
and sea at rate of speed that 100
years ago would have been called the
result of witchcraft. We do not travel
through the air with equal facility at
present, but we may do so within a
few years, as the efforts of men OF
brains along this line are certain to
gain the mastery of the air as they
have of the land and sea.
Those who scott at the student OF
aerial navigation and scout the idea of
success attending the efforts OF the
men who seek to discover the secret of
flying may live to see the heavens
dotted with ships sailing as placidly
through the air as ships now navigate
the seas. In the opinion of the United
States commissioner of patents the
dirigible balloon or the aerOplane will
be successfully evolved during the
year 1904 This prediction may be
based on false premises, but there can
be no gainsaying the fact that great
strides In the direction of aerial navi-
CATION will be made.

found huge box all tied up and ready
for shipment which, when opened, re-

curios. There were pieces of finely
carved ivory, small idols in gold and
silver, and pieces of dainty Chinaware
were tucked neatly away throughout
the box.
The agents made thorough search
from stem to stern. They came upon
what apparently was false partition,
which they tore away, and found with

dollars each.
The officers of the ship expressed
surprise that such things could
have come aboard without their
knowledge, and they expressed their
willingness to aid in the capture OF
the guilty persons. Nobody on the
ship would claim single thing, so no
arrests were made. The goods will be

FRESHMAN AND INDIAN
HAVE CHANGED PLACES.
From the Youths Companion.

DR.. Carlos Montezuma, a graduate
of the University of Illinois and of Chi
cago Medical College, is a full blood
Apache Indian. He was captured in
early childhood by Indians Of another
tribe and sold by his captors to a
white man who gave him an education.
In a recent address before a mems club
I'm Chicago, he said that environment
is far more potent force than hered-
ity in making men, and to illustrate
his point told the following story:
Three years ago 1 visited Fort
