A HOLLAND AIRSHIP.
Inventor of Submarine Boat IS
Working on One that Will Fly.

Working on One that Will Fly.
The report comes from New York
that John P. Holland, the inventor Of
the submarine boat, is about to give
to the public an invention of a flying
machine said to be Of as perfect a
construction as the submarine bearing
his name. Mr.. Holland has been work.
ing on flying machines for nearly
twelve years, during which time four
models have been constructed and de-
stroyed on account Of their Imperfect
tons. He is now working on the fifth
model, which he believes will be made
to fly. This latter model weighs only
thirty pounds. 1t is arranged to be
strapped to the back of the person de-
string to soar in the air. There will
be two vertical arms crossing at right
angles with the axis and two pairs of
wings; these are to vibrate in oppo-
site directions. One pair of wings will
be placed at the back of the head and
the other pair near the waist. They
are of light steel construction, weigh
ing about q pound each. In speaking
of his invention, Mr.. Holland said:
amy man who walks three miles an
hour can easily fly the same distance
in ten minutes with my invention and
| do not consider that statement an
exaggeration.
81 have taken birds as my pattern.
With this machine men will be able
to fly on the same principle as bird
flys. If cog breaks or something
else goes wrong, or if he becomes ex-
hausted and the propelling ceases,
there will be no danger, for he will be
able to descend gently TO the earth and
land easily upon his feet"
Mr.. Holland discounts the course
taken by number of flying machine
experts who use combination Of bal
loon and aeroplane. This form, he be-
lieves, will never become practical for
aerial navigation because he considers
the gas bag offers too much resistance
to the air, and, on the other hand, be-
lieves that flying machines and the
aeroplane idea-the latter of the Lang
ley class-will be the real means Of
navigation OF the air in the future. He
expressed his belief that with the new
Holland airship he will be able to fly
from New York to Washington to at
tend the next presidential Inaugural
ton and get back home the same
night. 1t is his intention to make ex-
periments with his machine next
spring.

Facts About Henry Hudson.

Why should an Englishman vlo re-
ceived by baptism the name of Henry
be dubbed Hendrix? For more than
half a century Americans have been
writing and saying Hendrix Hudson"
This habit, without legitimate foun-
dalton, has been emphasized afresh re-
Gently in the Hendrix Hudson Me-
mortal Bridge" and the Hendrix Hud-
son INTERMEDIARY Committee" The
only excuse that can be offered for u.s.
ing the Dutch equivalent is that Henry
Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices on
one of his four voyages of discovery.
The Netherlands themselves knew him
only as Henry" Hudson.
In 1859 Henry G. Murphy, while at
The Hague examining the old Dutch
records for data referring to Hudson,
found in the royal archives Dutch
copy of Hudsons contract with the di-
rectors of the East India Company. The
document was appended to manu-

pared at its request by P. van Dam,

MAGAZINE SECTION

Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinners
have always been feature of her
social program during the winter. The
only plea against them is that diners
seriously object to being defrauded,
even if ever so skilfully, into believing
they are eating meat, patties and GRO
quotes, when, in fact, they are eating
"just vegetables"
This particular dinner in honor Of
delegates to the food congress was
voted distinct success. Those who
were included in Mrs. Henderson's in
vitations declared that had they not
known the exact character of
the dinner to which they sat down they
would have been convinced that vari-
GUS dishes were the result of the study
and ingenuity of Mrs. Henderson's
famous chef who had utilized meat in
strange but most alluring manner.
Mrs. Henderson was formerly Miss
Mary N. Foote, of New York, and is
one Of the most democratic and popu-
ar hostesses in Washington.

style. Gold, silver and exquisite glass
table appointments characterize her
entertainments and the most promi-
nent people in the country are her
guests during the social season.
This distinguished hostess long ago
became convert to the vegetarian
system and through book which she
wrote on the subject, "The Aristocracy
of HEALTH" held to her contention that
meat is unnecessary not only to diges-
ton, but to the palate. The book
aroused much discussion and during a
recent health congress in Washington
Mrs. Henderson arranged one of her
celebrated vegetarian dinners in order
to prove the strength of her theory.
Some amusement was caused by the
declination Of prominent politician
who has reputation for liking good
dinners, but who was afraid that with
out meat his evening meal would be
spoiled.
Mrs. Henderson's arrangements for
the dinner were unique.

until his death in 1905. The copy opens
thus:
"On the eighth day of January, in
the year of Our Lord one thousand six
hundred and nine, the Directors of the

Amsterdam, of the ten years reckoning,

Hudson. In both cases the name was
spelled in plain English, Henry"
Hudson knew so little of the Dutch
language that his conferences with the
Hollanders were conducted through the
medium of an interpreter.
No better time for correcting this
absurd usage could be found than on
the eve of the celebration of the ami
versary of Hudson's voyage to this part
of North America. Let the bridge to
be named after the English explorer be

The farmer Of to-day finds an en-
tirely different situation and strong

wilderness has been settled, and
through continual and often ignorant 4
and ill-advised tillage, the soil has
been depleted of its fertility. While /
agriculture has thus been retrograding
and the competition continually grow

boy to-day receives much better edu-
cation, viewed by present educational A
standards, than did his grand-father,-
yet it is along lines which help him
but little to maintain his position in
the country's development. He learns
