TAKING A BREATHING SPELL
Com m rciaI, IndnstrtaI and A2ricul- turai Conditions ss Reelected
 by Bradstreet's Review.

New York. May 6.-Bradstreet's weekly review says:
 What might be termed a breathing spell is being taken in numerous lines of trade and industry pending the ad- vent of settled weather, clearer views Of the crop outturn and the settlement of the Chicago strike. Heavy rains and cold weather have retarded the corn and cotton crop preparations and retail trade, but have rather favored winter wheat, which fully holds the magnificent promise of month ago, while an increased area is certain in spring wheat, which latter, however, needs more moisture Iron and steel are rather quieter as regards new busi- ness. and increased ease is noted in old material, pig iron, and bars, but Struc- tural material is eagerly bid for, and large orders for railway bars guarantee activity for the mills for months to come. The building trades and allied lines, such as lumber, hardware, paints and glass, are apparently doing the business of their lives, unchecked and untouched by the usual May day labor disturbances.
 All statistical measures of trade progress point to general business showing satisfactory increases over preceding years at this date. Bank clearings are of enormous volume, next to the largest ever recorded; failures are fewer and liabilities smaller than a year ago. railway earnings are indi- eatiye of heavy tonnage movement, but money remains strikingly easy.

DIR. osLER's JOKE.

The subtle huInor Of DR.. Osler's state
ment becomes apparent when we re-
member that Harvey was born In 1915,
and published his work, "Exercitatio de
Motu Cords ct Sanguinis, in 1923. when
he was fifty years old; that Lister was
born in 1921 and was close on TO fifty
years OF age when he began to convert
the medical world to the principles Of
;tntiSeptic surgery; and that, while Koch
was born in 1S43. and was within one
year Of forty when he discovered the tu-
bercle bacillus, even the least apprecia-
tive of his admirers will admit that he
has done good work since 1882 George

BIBLE NOT To Be

President of Princeton Says
Idea Should Be Sought.
Spiritual Truth Not Necessarily Con-
veyed in Every Word and
Scriptural Phrase.

PRINCETON, N. j.. March 27-Dr
francis L. Patton. president of Prince
ton Theological Seminary, preached to
the students of Princeton University
yesterday ON the relation between
thought and its expression. He said. in
part:
Language is thoughts pottery, the
print of thoughts fingers. Many people
lose the great thoughts of the Bible in
trying to translate the word; literally.
Some people neglect the great principles
set down in some of the parabies and
try to construe them literally.
we cannot be too careful in the edi-
ton of the Bible we selected, but. even
with the best edition We may miss the
point We must not be always trying
to find some spiritual truth in every
word of the Bible, but look behis.d the
words for the idea 1t is better TO part
with most Of the Bible than 10 lose its
sense

Curved Surfaces.
Prof. Montgomery has christened his
machine the Santa Clara" His prin-
ciple of curved surfaces is revolution
ary, and ne holds that the results prove
it correct. The Santa Clara resembles
a huge bird 'or an attenuated butterfly.
The frame is Of spruce, very tough and
supple, and the wings are of fortified
canvas There are eight Of these wings.
and each is shaped like an equal-sided
triangle cut across the points In each
wing there is an upward curve with the
same concaVity that is 20 be found in
the wing of q bird.
The operator sits on a saddle and the
wings ar. worked partly by the hands
ard partly by the Ieet by means of
stirrups and steel shafts. Steel wires
preserve the shape of the wings and the
guiding is done from the back
Prof. Montgomery did not attempt to
demonstrate that the Santa Clara is
long-distance flyer, though the machine
in its latter fights covered three or
four miles back and forth. Soaring at
six miles an our, the aeroplane could
be stopped and turned within distance
of forty feet without any other exer-
ton than a turn Of the hand.
Against Breeze.
A contrary wind appears to make lit
tie difference in point of speed, as the
machine progresses rapidly against a
strong breeze by a series of tacks- The
machine was able at all times TO return
to the point of departure and alight
without any difficulty or force of i'm
pact
As the Santa Clara exists at present
it can soar in the air as long as the
strength OF the rider holds out, and
though the nervous strain is intense, the
physical exertion required is not great.
Prof Montgomery contemplates supply
ing q form of motor to the aeroplane
which will serve the double purpose of
raising it in the air and regulating the
wings in their fight.
Prof Montgomery is a son of Zacha-
| riah Montgomery, Assistant Attorney
General under President Cleveland, and
cousin to Bishop Montgomery. He is a
