efficiency is great enough to make au-

man airship holds the same relation
to the possible high-speed airship Of
the future as the automobile in It's

the possible non-breakable automobile

preliminary flights or trials at Danes
island may indicate weaknesses or
faults; but If such is the case the Ia

are all-sufficient. The airship that

GET MEDALS FOR BRAVERY
Awards Made by President Roosevelt
to Locomotive Engineers Who
Saved Lives.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
has awarded medals of honor to
Charles w. Haight, Of Utica, N Y,
and George H. Williams, Of Braintree,
Mass, locomotive engineers, who per-
formed deeds of recognition under the
law which provides for the bestowed
of bronze medals upon persons who by
extreme daring endanger their own
lives while attempting to save the
lives of others in railroad accidents or
in preventing the loss of life.
Haight is an engineer on the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad.
He climbed out on the pilot Of his en-
CINE and picked up a child from be-
tween the rails while his train was
running at high rate Of speed at
West Winfield, N. Y, April rs, 1905.
Williams dashed in front of a train
for the purpose of saving woman
from being run over on the Saville
street crossing of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, at Quincy,
Mass, December 81, 1905. Williams
was struck by the engine Of the train
and sustained injuries which confined
him in a hospital for four months.

WEST POINT TO GET HERO
Cadet Who Permitted His Leg to Be
Broken to Lengthen It Will Re-
enter Academy.

New York.-Walter Wilde, the Yves,
Point fourth classman whose right LEG
was crushed so badly last fall that
when it healed it was three inches
shorter than the other, will reenter
West Point next fall. To return to the
academy the cadet allowed the physi-
clans to break his leg again in several
places so that by weighing it might be
restored to its normal condition.
Young Wilde, who is one of Presi-
dent Roosevelts personal appointees,
entered West Point in the fall Of 1905.
Last September he was horseback rid
ing when the horse fell and rolled over
him, breaking in several places the
bones of his leg.
Wilde consulted a number of emf
nent surgeons, who told him that If he
would submit to an unusual operation
his leg might be restored to its proper
length. Wilde consented and went to
the Polytechnic hospital at Philadelphia,
where the operation was performed.
After eight weeks treatment his legs
are of the same length.

Mr.. Wellman's DUN Vietus.

It Is interesting to note that In the
gossipy discussions Of the venture by
men who pretend to know nothing Of
aeronautics nor the polar regions, the
two objections most often urged are
the two which caused Mr.. Wellman
and his associates in the construction
and Quitting of the ship the most per-
plexity. The manner in which he pro-
poses to overcome one Of these dangers
that from fast, adverse winds-has
been explained by Mr.. Wellman, thus:
eve have already explained how we
hope to make progress with our air.
ship by means Of our motors and
screws when the winds are favorable
in direction, and also when they are
unfavorable, but not Of too great ve-
locity. What are we going to do when
they blow adversely and also too
strongly to permit us to advance with
the motors?
This brings us to one of the funda-
mental features Of the method which
we have adopted. 1t Is this

BY the aid of that most marvellous
modern invention Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
eago Record-Herald and noted arctic
explorer, is making third attempt
10 reach the north pole. OF the count
less number Of attempts to conquer
the elements Of the far north few, If
any, have ever excited the interest of
this expedition of Mr.. Wellman and
his chosen companions.
1t is this thing Of going about It in
new way that lifts the Wellman
expedition to plane high above all
previous efforts in point Of interest
nat places 1t in class by itself. The
Wevices fixed upon by Mr.. Wellman
were selected because they were the
latest offerings science has made
which were available for the purposes
Of the expedition.
The two expeditions made by Mr..
Wellman, one in 1894 and the other
IN 1898, like those Of all other ex-
plorers, were made on the theory that

er velocities-stop the motors and
throw out upon the ice sheet over
which we are sailing dragging an
Choir or retardateur-a device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum of resistance
In proportion to its weight-and by
this means to drift slowly with the ad-
verse wind.
Assuming that this method works
out as well in practice as in theory
and there are many reasons for believ-
ing that 1t will do so to at least a fair
degree-we have then this principle:
Il. That the winds that blow with
our course, directly or obliquely, add
their movements to the advance which
we expect to make with our motors
and help us so much on our way.
Y. But contrary winds of velocities
greater than our motor speed, or so
great that motoring against them
would be an uneconomical use of fuel
are. not losses to be deducted at full
value from the progress of the air
ship, because the influence Of such
winds Is largely neutralized by the &C.
ton of the dragging anchor or re-
tardateur.
"In other words all of the value of
favorable winds is placed on the credit
side Of our ledger or log, while only
part Of the value Of the unfavorable
winds has to be written down on the
debit side.
"And the significance of this, in the
last analysis, is that 1t will require
most extraordinary combination of
circumstances to prevent us getting
more help than hindrance from the
winds"
The expedition is distinctly Ameri-
can, for all the mechanical aid that
foreign countries have given in the
preparations, and for the deep interest
they are taking in the project. It Is an
American journalist backed by an
American newspaper to whom credit
is due for the bold and intelligent con-
ception. 1t is typically American that
all of science and the arts that other
nations had to offer has been mar
shaled under the American flag for the
aerial journey into the unknown
north. The giant airship has been
christened the America" and, If the
next few weeks shall demonstrate that
the plans of Mr.. Wellman were well
founded and the explorer shall sail
to the pole, the first act
will be the dropping Of the American
Stars and Stripes over the spot which
has lured nearly thousand brave men
10 their deaths.

Hand - Parliament Is Firm ~ All
Agree That Strike Is the Next
Step.

st. Petersburg, July 25. - War to
the knife with revolution, and the
knife to the hilt was proclaimed to-
day by Premier Stolypin in tele-
gram addressed to the governor gen.
erals, governors and projects through
out Russia and to the viceroy Of the
Caucasus, who are ordered to strike
and spare not in efforts to preserve
order and crush "the enemies Of So
ciety." Included In this category, as
shown by the events Of the day, are
not only revolutionists and socialists,
but also the educated liberals and
landed classes represented in the con-
stitutional democratic party, whose
clubs everywhere have been closed,
which are not permitted to lift their
voices anywhere throughout the en-
tire land.
Premier Stolypin's telegram is as
follows:
I'm conformity with instructions
from the emperor, with the view Of Sc
curing full cooperation by the differ
ent local authorities, | hereby inform
you that the government expects you
to exercise vigilance and untiring SUI
pervision over your subordinates so
that order may be promptly and def
nitely restored. Disturbances must be
suppressed and revolutionary move
must be put down by all legal
means. The measures you take must
be carefully considered. The strug-
gle begun Is against the enemies OF
society and not against society itself.
Consequently wholesale repression
cannot be approved Of. Imprudent
and illegal acts are likely to give rise
to discomfort instead Of conducting to
calm and cannot be tolerated. The
of the emperor are immu-
table. The government firmly de-
sires to assist in the amendment OF
the legal procedure and the laws
enforced which no longer
serve their purpose. The old regime
will be regenerated, but order must
be fully maintained. You must act on
your own initiative, as you are invest
ed with responsibility. Firm and vio-
orous steps taken on these lines will |
be upheld by the best part

Aehe pole could be reached by sledges
drawn by dogs. The first of these ex-
petitions was made from Spitzbergen
and the second from Franz Joseph
Land. The same obstacles encoun'
tered by other explorers were met by
Mr.. Wellman, and the trials were flu
tile, except in that they furnished the
explorer with a comprehensive knowl-
edge Of conditions both atmospheric
and by land and water. 1t was this
fund of information that suggested
the methods to be employed in the
Forthcoming effort.
From an easily reached base Of OPP
srations in northern Spitzbergen, lat
itude 80 degrees so minutes, the dis
lance to the mathematical pole is but
$50 miles, making the flight there and
return LOO geographical miles. Cal
culating the distance at 1900 miles,
there would be required but 100 hours
of airship motoring at the rate Of IL
miles an hour. Santos Dumont repeat
eddy had made 10 to 20 miles an hour
with small airships equipped with cor
respondingly small motors. The Le-
baudy ship had made rs miles an hour,
and its average speed through long
series of flights had been above 20
miles an hour. Under all conditions in
which airship flights have been made
q speed Of from IL to Is miles an hour
has been easily obtainable.

Description of Ship.

A general description of the airship
Is as follows:
In length 1t is 1874 feet Its greatest
diameter Is So feet. The materials Of
which the bag is made are pure rubber
and silk. with the top Of the bag
= perfectly smooth surface, which will
mot accumulate frost snow or sleet,
and thereby decrease the ascensional
power. BY simple device provision
has been made for the removal of snow
from the top Of the ship.
The propelling power of the airship
lies in three motors, Of the inner COM
bustion type and using gasoline for
fuel. The combined horsepower Of
che motors is 100, although the con-
tract called for only 75. The largest
motor is 10 horsepower, and in calm
air provides speed of from IL to IA
miles an hour. With all motors work.

some idea Of the great economy o.
space being practiced may be gained
or course, the disposition of the weigh
in the car is such as to insure perfect
balance under normal conditions. The
gasoline reservoirs are four in number
two at each extreme end of the car
In the engine-room is placed, besides
the motors, the wireless telegraph ap-
paratus. The car is 81 feet long by
six feet by eight feet in its other d.
mansions. Its construction represents
the maximum of strength and the min
imum of weight, being entirely of steel
tubing.
The power from the motors is trans
mitted to a shaft at either end of
which Is a screw propeller with broad
blades, which offer the greatest eff
cheney. The forward screw Is 1874
feet In diameter and the rear screw
four feet less in diameter. There is
but one rudder, which is above the car
and below the rear end Of the bag.
This rudder is operated from the en-
gine-room with simple steering ap-
paratus.
Below the car there Is suspended a
steel lifeboat, nonsinkable and noncap-
stable, but Of very light weight. This
boat represents the precaution against
the chance of the destruction of the
ship or its sinking into open water
Into 1t are packed when not in use the
cables for the guide rope and the
retarder, two of the most important
attachments Of the airship.
In the construction Of both bag and
car the utmost care has been exercised
and only the highest possible quality
of materials used. A ikgid system of
material inspection was maintained to
reduce to the minimum the chances of
flawed materials inadvertently being
used.
Such, in brief, is the airship in
which will be made the most remark
able journey In history. 1t represents
the highest degree of skill known to
the machinical work. No principle in
the construction of the ship itself or of
Its propelling appliances has been fol-
lowed which has not been proved to
be sound and thoroughly practicable.
The monster bag and It's attachments
do not stand for theory any more

sulphuric acid and iron shavings, and
165 tons Of these materials. carefully
selected, were shipped to the expedi-
TONS base on Danes island. The as
censional power Of the inflated bag Is
1890 pounds. The weight of the ship
itself and its equipment and crew is
1000 pounds, leaving approximately
5000 pounds for cargo. The gasoline
carried weighs $500, which is equal to
power endurance of $50 hours mo-
toring with the 10 horsepower motor
in full operation. At the rate Of from
IL to Is miles an hour this means that
the airship will be able to travel 1900
