Mr.. WeHman's OUn VielUs

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:
I'VE 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 We
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:
81. With favorable winds or unfa-
vorable winds of relatively small We
locities-motor at a proper speed of
from ten to- II geographical miles per
hour, with IL miles per hour as per-
haps the mean speed.

walks into the parlor to see Miss Imo-
gene Cordelia Hoffbrew.
"Wie gents, Imogene." says Con
salvo.
"Simlich!" says Imogene, standing
at right angles near the piano because
she thinks she is a Gibson girl.
"Imogene. dearest" Gonsalvo con
tinues; Il called on your papa in Wall
street yesterday to find out how much
money you have, but he refused to
name the sum, therefore you have un
told wealth."
Gonsalvo pauses to let the Partisan
clock on the mantel tick, tick, tick!
He is making the bluff of his life
you see, and he has to do even that on
tick.
Besides, this furnishes the local
color.
Then Gonsalvo bursts forth again
"Imogene! Oh! Imogene! will you be
mine and | will be thine without
money and without the price"
Gonsalvo pauses to let this idea
get noised about a little.
Then he goes on: BE mine. limo
gene! You will be minus the money
while l will have the price,"
Gonsalvo trembles with the passion
which is consuming his pocketboolt
and then Imogene turns languidly
from a right angle triangle into more
of straight front, and hands Con
salvo a bitter look of scorn.
Then Gonsalvo grabs his revolver
and. aiming it at her marble brow
exclaims: Marry me this minute oil
will shoot you in the topknot, be-
cause l love YOU"
Then papa rushes into the room anC
Gonsalvo politely requests the old gen
tleman to hold two or three bullets
for him for a few moments.
Gonsalvo then bites deeply into q
bottle of carbolic acid, and just as the
coroner climbs into the house the pic
lures OF the modern lover and lover
ess appear in the newspapers, ant
fashionable society receives a jolt.
This is the new and up-to-date way
of making love.
However, | think the old style oil
counting is the best, because you car

sulphuric acid and iron shavings, and
l65 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
$1,000 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
a power endurance of $50 hours mo-
toring with the 20 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 1,SOO
miles in calm air. or far enough to
carry the airship from the base of sup
plies to the pole and back and then
back to the pole again.

and food supply. This last item
weighs 500 pounds and is contained in
a chest containing 16 cubic feet. When
it is stated that this supply is suffi-
cient to nourish five men for 20 days
some idea of the great economy OF
space being practiced may be gained.
OF course, the disposition of the weight
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 SO feet long by
six feet by eight feet in it's other di-
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 1871
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 APP
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 it 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 Rigid system of
material inspection was maintained to
reduce to the minimum the chances OF
fiawed materials inadvertently being
used.
Such, in brief, Is the airship in
which will be made the most remark
able journey in history. II 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

Routes.
Executive officers of the Union Pa,
cific road in Chicago are planning to
build several large greenhouses along
the main lines of this company In
Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and other
districts, with the object of having
at every table in every dining car
over the entire system a bouquet OF
freshly cut flowers at every meal. In
addition TO table and other decora-
tons it is planned to grow flowers
on a scale sufficiently large to allow
a free distribution of roses to women
and carnations, or other seasonable
flower, not only in dining cars but
to passengers in every car Of every
train, and in winter as well as in
summer the idea being to make
patrons feel that the flowers are a
part of the trip over this road and
not precious little souvenirs. The
greenhouses will probably be located
at Grand Island, Neb, Cheyenne,
Wyo., Denver, Col, and Ogden, Utah.
In California and in the territory OF
the Sunset route in the south the
company has no trouble in getting
outdoor flowers all year But even in
these districts the scheme of flowers
for passengers and car decorations is
to be enlarged upon. Dining rooms
along all lines are to be supplied free
ly with plants and blooms. The Cali
fornia and southern resources with
the greenhouses to be built along the
central route will put the Union,
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short
Lines in a position where they may
become known as the floral lines, an
appellation officers of the Hartman
lines hope to merit.

Are you wise to the fact that every
thing is changing in this old world of
ours, and that since the advent of fuss
wagons even the old-fashioned idea OF
courtship has been chased to the woods?
1t used to be that on Saturday even
ing the young gent would draw down
his six dollars worth of salary and chase
himself to the barber shop, where the
Dago lawn trimmer would put a crimp
in his mustache and plaster his fore
head with three cents worth of hair
and a dollars worth of axle-grease.
Then the young gent would go out
and spread 40 cents around among the
| tradesmen for a mess of water-lilies
and bag of peanut brittle.
The lilies of the valley were to put
on the dining-rom table so mother
would be pleased. and with the peanut
! brittle he intended to fill in the weary
moments when he and his little geisha
girl were not making goo-goo eyes at
each other.
But nowadays it is different, and
Dan Cupid spends most of his time on
the hot foot between the coroner's Of
flee and the divorce court.
I've got a hunch that young people
these days are more emotional and
like to see their pictures in the news
papers.
Nowadays when clever young man
goes to visit his sweetheart he hikes
over the streets in a benzine buggy,
and when he pulls the bell-rope at the
! front door he has a rapid-fire revolver
in one pocket and a bottle of carbolic
acid in the other.
His intentions are honorable and he
wishes to prove them so by shooting
his lady love if she renigs when he
makes a play for her hand.

draw the stove brush cheerfully across
his dogskin shoes and rush with eager
feet to see Lena Jones, the girl he
wished to make the wife of his BOSOM

the downcast drop in this eye of mine
and notice the way my heart is bub-
bling over like bottle of sarsaparil-

mine!"
Then Lena would giggle. Not once
but seven giggles, something like those
used in a spasm.
Then she would reply: mo, Oscar;
it cannot be- Fate wills it otherwise.
Then Oscar would bite his finger
nails, pick his hat up out of the coal

Then Oscar would walk out and
hunt up one of those places that Car

there, with one arm glued tight
around the bar rail, he would fasten
his system to a jag which would last
for a week.

Nothing Succeeds Like "EaG-o-sEE.

The man who breaches the best SER
mon; the man who tells the funniest
stories; the man who keeps the best
store; or the man who makes the best
goods soon finds that people come to
him. Merit is the best advertisement
in the world. People speak well of
things they know are good. They pass
the good word along.
The best breakfast food is EGG-O-
SEE, for it contains all the life-giving
properties of natures best food, which
is wheat.
EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the
thousands Of wives and mothers who
use it in their homes, for these good
women tell their neighbors about this
great food.
Children and aged persons alike are
friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are the
things that advertise EGG-O-SEE
most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10
cent package contains ten liberal
breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold every
where. Grocers must keep it If they
want to keep their good customers,
for good customers insist on buying
EGG-O-SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking is required, makes EGG-O-

SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE.
Action Taken by the Senate on the
Railway Rate Bill

After an afternoon devoted almost ex-
clrsively to the discussion OF the conference
report on the railroad rate bill. the Senate
decided at 6 O'Clock yesterday afternoon to
send that measure back to conference.
The debate on the bill covered the vari-
Gus questions of free passes, the salaries
of the interstate commerce commissioners
and the penal provisions of the bill. There
were differences of opinion on all these
points. but the dominant thought was ia
vorable to sustaining all the Senate pro-
visions.
Senator Foraker gave notice that he
would move TO take up the conference re-
port on the statehood bill as soon as the
report on the rate bill should be disposed
Of but afterward said he would probably
not make an effort in that direction until
next Tuesday, when II is believed Senator
Beverage, who Is in charge of the report,
can be present.
The bill providing for the control OF the
waters of Niagara river was passed.

WILLIAMS SERVES NOTICE.
Minority Wants to Vote on Separate
Provisions of the Statehood Bill.

John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi. the
democratic floor leader, served notice on
the republican majority yesterday that a
real genuine old fashioned ilibuster would
follow a refusal to permit vote on the
separate provisions of the statehood con-
ference report.
eff 1t shall appear" he said, that we are
to be forced to swallow the conference re-
port In gross. either to vote against IT alto
gether or vote for II altogether without
an opportunity to amend IL, without an
opportunity being extended to the House TO
express its opinion on the question, then
we will resume the policy of demanding
that every constitutional requirement shall
be complied with before any legislation Is
carried on by this body"
This remark of Mr.. Williams was Justify
applauded by the democrats.
