to navigating the air on their own RESPONSE

Scientifically the club has taken on itself
the aerial navigation problem In all it's
branches without prejudice as to heavier or

Since its awarding of the 125,000 Deutsch
committee has been following as we'll as it
has been able the Lebaudys experiments,
conducted, as they have been, 100 miles dis

occasions the Lebaudys have lunched the
visitors. For such cases article n of the
committees regulations provides a modus
operandi:
when the committee shall learn of the eX-
istence of an apparatus in way of construc-
ton or experiment, and of which no initial
n emorial shall have been presented to the
club the committee may write to the in

To get an idea of the growth of the club s
activity, learn that in 1899 the entire MEM

135 passengers. In 1904 the entire member
ship made 213 ascensons carrying 5S7 pas
sengers. OF these. 129 ascents, carrying 1853
passengers, were made from the Aero

number of hours spent in the air was leo.
If evenly spreau over the year it would be
the same as if every day of 1904. including
Sundays, Aero Club members spent three
hours in lowering over Paris. As matter
of fact. an average of practically one bal

LOST ARTS.
| One Authority Says That the Term is
Misnomer

From the Scientific American
Not as much as we used to- but occa-
sionally even yet, one hears of some won
der accomplished by the ancients which
cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago it was quite COM
monty asserted that modern workmen
could not quarry. or, having quarried, could
not handle stones as large as the mono
lths of Egypt; and the writer has heard a
public speaker of note assert that it would
be impossible to handle, with modern i'm
plements, such large stones as were used in
the pyramids, to join them perfectly
as they are joined there; yet when occa-
sion arose, larger stones than any of these
We're quarried In Maine, and some of the
larger n1onoliths themselves were trans
ported, not only to the sea, but across It,
and erected in England, France and Amer
lea: and there individuals today who
might, if they chose, cause the transporta-
tfon to and erection in this country of the
largest pyramids, or build new ones ten
times larger and more durable Pyramide

cause they are not in line with the trend
of modern ambition; that's ALL
1t is very doubtful if Damascus blade|
would stand half as severe usage as mod
ern band-saw blade, or even as much as
the spring of a 40-cent clock; while the or
namentation of those wondrous blades so
far as the mechanical execution is con-
cerned, can be excelled by apprentices and
amateurs of today.
OF the lost art' of hardening copper lit

the ancients; and. while it is perhaps re-
grettable that he doesn't, his ignorance is
his own fault
Many arts and devices have been aban-
doned because new knowledge has made
them useless, and time spent in rediscover-
Ing them would be worse than wasted The
modern youth had much better spend his
time studying the art of his contempora-

TENNIS TOURNEY AT NEWPORT.
Largest Number Of Players Ever Gath
cred on Any Court.

NEWPORT. r. l.. August 22-Although
with increased court facilities, the capacity
of the Casino was taxed to the limit today
to accommodate the largest number of
players that ever participated in a tennis
tournament in the world. The record made
few years ago Of not quite hundred en-
tries in a tournament in Great Britain was
exceeded this year by the twenty-slxth ma
tional championship, begun this morning. in
which 1O5 players from all parts Of the
country sent in their names for the singles
event.
In addition to the f1fty-odd matches in
singles. there was scheduled for the day
the contest between the champions Of the
east and west In doubles. F. B. Alexander
and H. H. Hackett and kreigh Collins and
II. P. Weidner. respectively, the winners to
meet the present national champions, HoI-
combe Ward and B. c. Wright, on the
same court tomorrow.
The draw for the singles event brought
together no two OF the very notable players.
so that the contest in doubles had no
counter attraction.
The spacious grounds of the Casino were
thronged at an early hour with the players
and their friends and by 10 o'clock the
great Enclosure, with its numerous white
lined courts, presented an animated ap
pearance.

WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY.
Their Condition as Affected by the
Weather

The weekly summary of crop conditions.
issued by the weather bureau, is as follows:
During the week ending August 81, CEN
trail and western Texas experienced unusual
heat. while unseasonably cool weather pre-
vailed in New England and the northern
portion of the middle Atlantic states; else
where the temperature was favorable.
The rainfall was excessive and Injurious in
the Dakotas and Minnesota and also In
parts of the lake region, south Atlantic and
central gulf states and in Florida. Rain is
badly needed over the greater part Of
Texas. in portions of Kansas, generally
throughout the central and southern Rocky
mountain districts and in Oregon F'rosts,
ca sng slight damage. occurred on the
10th in Montana and Idaho.
The previously reported excellent condi-
ton of corn continues generally Throughout
the principal compromising states and also
in the Atlantic coast and eastern gulf dis
tricts. Wind storms blew down consider
able corn in Nebraska, Missouri. Arkansas
and Ohio. In some counties In Kansas
and generally throughout Texas the crop
Is in need of rain.
The harvesting. stacking and thrashlng
of spring wheat on lowlands in the north
eTn part of the spring wheat region, where
grain is fully ripe, were interrupted during
the fore part OF the week, the fields being
too wet for the reapers. Local storms in
North Dakota and northeastern South Da-
kcta caused the lodging OF considerable
grain. Satisfactory yields are generally In
oicated over the southern portion Com
plants of shruuken grain are general from
Washington and western Oregon
While cotton has improved in portions of
the central and western districts the crop
as a whole has suffered deterioration which
is most marked in the eastern districts
Rust and shedding are extensive through
out the belt. and dry, hot weather has
proved injurious over much of Texas. where
premature opening is reported, but boil
weevils in that state. rule. are dimin-
tshng. The crop has improved in Arkan-
cas-, some northeast counties IN Texas, in
portions of Louisiana, northern Alabama
and In few places in South Carolina.
Picking Is quite general In central and
southern Texas and over the southern por-
ton of the eastern districts
Wet weather has proved injurious to to-
bacco in Ohio and Indiana. but most re-
ports respecting this crop are favorable. an
Improvement in Kentucky. the middle At
lantic states and New England being ind-
Gated.
There IS no Improvement in the general
outlook for apples. nearly all reports show
ing an inferior crop.
Much complaint of blight and rot In pota-
toes is received from the lake region and
the northern part OF the middle Atlantic
states. but the reports from the Missouri
and central Mississippi valleys are more
favorable.
Flowing for fall seeding is unusually well
advanced, the soil being in excellent con-
dition In nearly all districts east OF the
Rocky mountains.

DEMANDED AN INDEMNITY,
Sultan Of Morocco Received Call
From the French.

TANGIER, Morocco, August 22.-The
French minister. st. Rene Taillandier, has
presented to the sultan, Mulai Abd-el-Aziz,

Algerian citizen. The minister also de-
mands the punishment Of the official re-
spor sible for the arrest and an additional
indemnity of 500 daily until the prisoner is
released

means to bring the sultan to terms should

of France in resenting the unwarranted ar
rest of one of her citizens. This German
approval goes evan beyond the desire of
France, as the German government has
given official notification of its intention to

ment, whereas the latter has not sought d.
rectly or indirectly any support in MAIN

Moroccan officials recently arrested the
chief Of the Algerian settlement at Gharb

WOOD FOR RAILROAD TIES.
Supply In Minnesota and Wisconsin
Not Unlimited.

The investigation into the supply of woods
for railroad ties in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, which the forest service IS making
in cooperation with the Northern Pacific
railroad, Is bringing out the fact that the
supplies In those states are by no means
unlimited. Oak is. OF course. largely used.
Tamarack. which on account of Its strength
and weight, has become the standard for
railroads using their own supply. has sud
denly sprung into demand for sawn lumber.
for which use Its market price has shot up
far above the price paid by railroads for
ties. White cedar, valued because. though
durable, II is light as to save freight
charges. may hold out for some time longer
in the more accessible regions II IL is not
diverted, like the tamarack. to other uses.
The object of the study is to reach an
accurate estimate of supplies and to sug-
gest the exploitation of inferior woods. such
the jack pine and the white birch, in
case these woods are found to take pre-
servative treatment successfully. The jack
pine the red or Norway pine and the Eu-
ropean larch are being considered as SUBJ
stitutes by the forest service.
