AS already announced, the collec-
tor at New York is holding up San
tos-Dumont airship as dutiable. Here
again the question of classification
comes in. Evidently the Dingley tar
if has nothing to say about airships,
and this creature of the air may be
one thing at one time and another
thing at another according to circum-
stances. Last year it was a piece OF
scientific apparatus, and was admitted
free; but this year it Is a revenue
hunter, and if it escapes duty it must
be as theatrical property, which the
owner must remove from the country
within six months. The situation Is
not particularly formidable as yet.
The flying machine has not reached
a point of independence and develop
ment where it is sufficient unto itself.
II can be corralled and captured and
brought to terms. II can be called a
scientific machine, a theatrical prop
erty or, even bird, and 1t has no
redress.
But the clumsy. faltering and floun.
dering airship of to-day Is supposed
to be the prophecy Of stately aerial
argosies that in the fullness Of time
shall float upon the ether as the grey.
hounds Of the ocean float upon the sea,
and they will lay their course any
where in atmospheric space according
to the pleasure of their human direc-
tors. Then will come the despair of
custom house officers. Not the ships
alone, but their contents can be land
ed in any wilderness that may be Sc.

When the Body Loses HeIqht.

what are the proportions OF the
ideal human body?" The vexed ques-
tion has never been answered conclu-
sively.
A corollary Of it is this: What are
the proportions OF the average healthy
man or woman as we find them?"
Not even to this has a reply been
given.
However, we are approaching it.
Scientists have made myriads OF
measurements of the stature OF man,
and some Of them are quoted by Fleet
Surgeon Williams In the annual re-
port on the health of the navy, just
issued.
To begin with, the boy when born
is about half an incher taller than the
girl. This difference Is maintained
till near the age Of 13, when, in this
country and America, the average girl
is taller and heavier than the boy.
This hating, so to speak, on the part
of the male Is speedily recovered,
and he again outruns the female In
size.
At the period of full development
the mans average height compared
with the woman's average Is as 10
to Is.
Both men and women maintain their
maximum height till the age of 30
years, when they begin to grow
shorter, until at 30 they have lost
three inches.
The reason for this dwindling Is at
tributed to the sinking Of the soft
parts between the bones and to- the
stoop gradually acquired by old peo-
ple.-LondOn Leader.

A New Carnegie Story.

Business rivals of Andrew Carnegie
we're at one time helpless to account
for his ability to undersell them in
whatever market they turned to. They
sent experts quietly to look over his
work and report. Mr.. Carnegie, it Is
sxid, heard of their presence. He in
rSted them to an inspection with him.
ken as guide. and at last offered to
show them the secret of his success.
he took them into room lined with
hooks and reports, where a dozen
clerks were at work on documents and
ngures. This room represented an ex-
penditure of $S0,000 a year.

Youth, Dress and Economy.

Economy Is the first element of
success. No young man needs three
or four suits Of clothes. Two are
enough. The only thought young
man needs to spend on his wardrobe
Is to look out for bargains and get all
of his clothes-hats, suits, underwear,
shoes, etc.-at the lowest price. Their
ridiculous dress more than anything
else proves that our boys need some
one to keep them in check.
Every young man should watch the
clothing market as closely as sue
cessful Wall street broker watches
the stock market. Let him be on the
lookout for bargains, and he is foster
Ing business trait which augurs we'll
for his success.
The boy who trains himself to look
out for bargains in wearing apparel
will know how to get bargains In
stocks II he ever goes into Wall
street trading. But the young man
who pays four times more than their
int 'tnsic value for colored neckties and
polka-dot socks just because he thinks
they will look pretty had better keep
away from business.-Russell Sage.

NAMING PORT ARTHUR.
Named After Commander of Firsi
Ship In Harbor.

Ship In Harbor.
Probably few know why Port Ar.
thur. where so much OF the dramatic
aspect of the Russo-Japanese war has
had its setting, Is so called.
1t was named on June 20, 1860, after
Lieut.. Arthur, OF the English navy.
Lieut.. Filliam Arthur was in COM
mand OF little gunboat, the Algerine,
attached to a surveying expedition OF
the navy, which was being carried on
preliminary to the landing made by
the French and English in August,
1860
Lieut.. Arthur was not by any
means in command Of the expedition,
nor even in command Of the flagship,
which was the Acteon, which was
called the "Noah's ark" o. the period
by the officers Of the English navy.
She was almost helpless and was
towed from place to place by one Of
the smaller vessels of the expedition.
While the Algerlne was towing, the
entrance to Port Arthur was made.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-05-18
LIEUT.. WILLIAM ARTHUR.

The fact that he was towing the Ac-
teon gave Lieut.. Arthur the honor for
he did in fact command the first ship
to enter.
The work done by the vessels Of this
little expedition in surveying the har-
bors. coast and the Chinese fortifca
tons made possible the disembark-
alton of the whole force of the allies
in August. 1860, without the loss OF
q man.
The first chart of Pigeon bay, where
the Acteon made her first anchorage
In this vicinity, was drawn by William
Blakeney, paymaster-in-c Of the
English navy. He was then in the
Acteon and took part in all this sur
vey work, whose importance, little
understood at the time, has since been
shown to be so tremendous.

Inventor Of Ice Cream.

A French chef who prepared a snow
IKE dish for the Due de Chartres In
1774 rs said to have been the first to
make that cool luxury known as Ice
cream. Lord Bacon was possessed Of
the knowledge that there was pro.
cess of congealation by means Of
snow and salt; but to him this was a
scientific fact, and he little dreamed
Of the idea that in after years this
oongealation would prove such de-
nghtful refreshment. Iced drinks and
water ices were known to the Par.
fsian epicures fully a century and Q
half before they were introduced into
England. These dainties II Is thought,
probably came from the Far East by
means of some traveller, who probably
tasted sherbet.

THOUSAND MUSICIANS
Will Render Coward Christian Soldiers"
at Wiiiiamsport.

One of the features of the parade
during the Knights Templar con-
clave at Williamsport, May 20,
will be the formation OF massed
bands Every player engaged in
the different bands-about thirty
five in number which will partici-
pate in the parade. will be assigned
to their proper places in this forma-
ton. There will be probably over
I,Ioo musicians in the mass.
After the formation has been COM
pleted, on Market, between Third
and Fourth streets, at the conclu-
sion of the parade. the mammoth
band will march up Third street
and will play "Religioso - a fam
OTIS march, in which "Onward
Christian Soldiers" and "Adeste
Fideles," are introduced. Each
bandmaster is now being notified to
provide himself with a copy Of this
march.
Lyman J. Fisk, the noted Will
Transport musical director, will
have the bands in charge. Several
assistants will also help in getting
the bands into formation.
The formation will face Third
street and will be led by row of
cornetists extending the entire
width of the street and as close to-
gether as they can conveniently
stand. The remaining instrument
tation will be arranged likewise.
The massed bands will be the
greatest attraction of the conclave
to the general public.

SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY
Scores of People Finding Out About
 the Swastika Cross.

A great many people have learned much about the mysterious swastika cross within the last week by visiting the Big Curio Store. where with every purchase of this strange emblem a pamphlet is given away telling all that is known about it. These emblems come in great variety of shapes, cuff . buttons, shirt waist sets, breast pins, stick pins. watch fobs, etc. It is need less to add that the crosses are of h. dian manufacture and that they are made of silver.
 Attention has previously been di- rected to the Indian and Mexican sil- Yer manufactures to be found at the Big Curio. and especially to the Mex ican fligree work which comes in a large variety of articles. But for the first time mention is now made of the gold filigree work done by skillful arti- ficers of the City of Mexico. Quite q stock of it was bought by MT. Bake on his last tour of Mexico in search Of strange and beautiful things. The gold is twentytwo karats fine and the ar ticles make exceedingly desirable gifts
 The large stock of Mexican drawn work is attracting the favorable notice of the ladies for finer specimens of this beautiful work was never brought tC the city. Then there are the hand made Mexican silk shawls which come in several colors, very nice Christmas gifts.
 The coming week will be productive of great bargains for all who visit the Big Curio Store.

Hon. Thomas Lowry, the street rail- way nagnate of Minneapolis and St Paul and president of the 800" who with his family is spending the winter in Phoenix, has become a friend of Arizona and is taking considerable in terest in the statehood legislation now before congress. As is natural for a man of his interests, he has formed a large acquaintance among the mem bers of congress among others the Hon. James A. Tawney,. The readers of The Republican have no doubt fol- lowed the action MT. Tawney has talk. en with reference to the joint state- hood bill.
