LANGUAGE of Alrships.

There is a squabble as to the cor
rect name for flying machines, air
ships and balloons, and the Aero club
of France attempts to set the matter
straight "Aearonef" describes a fly
ing machine heavier than air; that is,
an apparatus having no gas bag.
"Aeronefs" are divided into several
classes: "Helicoptera," machines de-
pending on screws for flight; aero
nlanes." machines propelled by the
tanning of wings. The expression
aviator. very often incorrectly en-
ployed, should be applied only to the
pilot of an "aeronef," as "aernonaut'
is applied to the pilot of gas balloon.

RESCUED FROM DIRE PERIL
ed Steamer Cherokee. Taken on
By Life-Savers.

Atlantic City. N. j., Jan. 15.-After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, 90
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the
Brigantine shoals Friday, were res
cued late Sunday afternoon and landed
at the inlet here. Capt. Archibald, two
mates and the ships carpenter elected
to remain aboard the stranded steam
er. The rescue was accomplished by
Capt. Mark Caste and a picked crew
in the sloop yacht Alberta, and their
experience was almost as thrilling as
that of the stranded passengers. More
than a thousand persons greeted the
storm-tossed party as the sloop sailed
into the inlet with the report that all
hands were safe. Not in years have
the inhabitants of Brigantine and
Absecon beaches been so wrought up
for the safety of stranded ships com
pany, and never were so many at
tempts made or perilous chances
taken to reach a ship in the face of q
fierce northwest Atlantic storm as
were ventured in the rescue of the
Cherokee's party.
