CASTLES NEAR ROYALTY
REQUIRE A LONG PURSE
Duchess Of Marlborough Pays $500 a
Week for a Tiny Shooting
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept. g. Duchess of
Marlborough is deriving much benefit
from the cure she is undergoing
abroad, where she is taking a course of
waters for the throat, which has given
her much trouble all summer. This
is one of the reasons she did not ap-
pear at Cowes, for she was much pulled
down and weakened by constant pain,
and wished to be we'll enough to carry
out her plans for entertaining in Scot
land.
Mrs. Yznaga and her daughter Emily
| have been staying at Carlsbad for the
| cure. Mrs. Yznaga will accompany her
duchess daughter back to Scotland and
will stay at Braemar Castle with her
during September. Braemar Castle Is
one Of the most interesting places In
Scotland, beautifully situated, quite
alone on an open moor with magnifi-
cent scenery around, the nearest neigh
bors being at Invercauld, which Is now
rented from Mr.. Farquharson by Mr..
and Mrs. Neumann, who always en-
tertain a large party there every year,
and pay no less than 5000 pounds for
seven years stay. One of the Scotch
gillies explained the rent thus: "You
see, there's 1000 pounds for the house,
1000 pounds for the grouse. 1000 pounds
for the fishing, 1000 pounds for the
deer; and the other 1000 is because of
the proximity Of Balmoral Castle
The duchess pays $500 for Braemar
castle for month, and will be there
only three weeks. The place is 80 tiny
that 1t may be said she, too, Is paying
great part of the rent because it is
in the near neighborhood Of Balmoral.
Lady Lister Kaye and Mrs. George
Keppel will be among her guests there.

Patent Has Been Secured In the

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept "A new airship.
the invention of Greek named Mar
inakis, which has been patented in the
united kingdom and British colonies.
and which has obtained the favorable
opinion of several British experts, Is
to be tried soon before representatives
of the war office, who were impressed
by the report upon the machine by H.
c. Braun, technical adviser to the Lon
don chamber Of arbitration, who says:
II have gone most carefully into the
invention, and procured more than one
sketch of the model, the frame, the
wind guard, and the tractor, and am
prepared to say consider the inven-
ton exceedingly clever. have no hesi-
tation in saying that the invention Is
a distinct step in the right direction
and likely to lead to the most i'm
portant results in aerial navigation"

One of the many difficulties con-
nected with navigation of the air has
been the inability Of airships to OPP

siders that he has surmounted this
difficulty. His vessel is so constructed
that current of air which otherwise
would interfere with the desired course
OK the ship is broken up, DETECTED, and
caused to pass alongside, thereby more
or less nullifying the pressure of side
currents.
The salient point of the invention is
the tractor, which is placed in the
front part Of the airship, where 1t does
the double duty Of propulsion and steer
ing. 1t can be driven by any motive
power, being composed Of four or more
arms equal to or longer than half the
diameter Of the airship.
Protected From Varying Winds
The object OF this arrangement is to
protect the front part of the ship from
the influence of wind. Blades of pro-
portionate size are placed so as to
move the airship forward whilst pro-
tecting its side from the wind.
Attached to the tractor is a wind
guard of ingenious character. The
airship is steered by the varying di-
rection Of the vertical axis on which
the tractor Is curved. The motor Is
placed at the rear. The airship has

special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept 2.-Pathetic stories
are being told by officers Of the
British fleet, which recently returned
from Gmuiden of the change that has
come over Queen Wilhelmina of Hol-
land. The pretty, happy young mon
arch of three years ago is now sad,
careworn woman, looking fifteen years
older than she Is.
While Holland is disappointed that
the queen has no heir, 1t feels the deep
est sympathy for the young ruler,
whose unfortunate marriage has
wrecked her life. They no longer speak
Of her as the pretty queen.
Her round, rosy cheeks have hol-
lowed and paled, the brightness has
disappeared from her eye, and in its
place an expression of weariness, of
incurable unhappiness, gives the close
observer the idea that she is physical
wreck-merely existing.
Perhaps no queen ever entered upon
her career with more promise than did
heralded as a love match, her people
loved her, and there was little, if any,
dissension at court.
Holland had long wanted a male heir
to the throne, and when it was an
nounced that Wilhelmina was to be-
come mother there was joy and feast
ing. But the illfated queen was des-
tined to disappointment in her desire
to please her subjects.
Following a violent quarrel with her
husband, Duke Henry Of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, in which he Is accused of
brutal conduct, the fair queen became
violently i'll, and Holland soon knew
that it's hopes of an heir had been
dashed.
Holland forgave it's queen, but not
her consort. Before his marriage Duke
Henry had set fast pace and fell in
tc the hands Of money lenders. 1t was
his effort to compel her to settle his
debts that led to what nearly proved a
fatal quarrel. She has never fully re-
covered from the shock.
