fected his right side. He was grad
ually recovering from this attack, when
ON the advice of his physician he went
south to escape the more rigorous
months Of February and March in this
city.
Prof. Langley was 70 years of age.
His whole life had been devoted to
scientific work. Though by profession
civil engineer and architect, astron-
omy occupied most of his time
Several years ago Prof. Langley con-
Quoted series of experiments with
flying machine at Whitewater, Va, on
the Potomac river, the results of. which
were watched with Widespread inter-
est The experiments, however, ended
disastrously.
Professor Langley's scientific career
covered a wide range of subjects and
included work in various institutions
which was supplemented by frequent
trips to Europe in visiting foreign OBJ
servatories and other institutions there.
Much of the scientific work done by
Prof. Langley had related to the sun,
it's heat Spectra and other sources of
radiation, and he has accompanied
some eclipse observation expeditions.

Colonel A. F. WaIcott, New York
BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Colonel A. F..
Walcott, a Civil War veteran and
turfman, died last night at his home
here from heart disease. He was born
in Salem, Mass, siXty-eight years ago
and was a member of one of the Oldest
New England families.
Colonel Walcott made two tours of
the world. He began breeding horses
at Crab Orchard, KY, in 1885. Pre-
viously he had been well known as a
Spectator, having made and lost sew
eral fortunes in Wall street. He was
one of the biggest buyers at the sale
of the Lorillard stable and built ex-

In 1887 Colonel Walcott lost heavily
in a wheat corner and was compelled

TWICE OABLEO ACROSS OCEAN
In order TO Get Important News From

In order 20 Get Important News From
Cape Cod To Boston.
An unusual extremity, even for a
reporter, was thus surmounted by one
of tie Tssouroeful newspaper heroes
that Hartley Davis describes in his
Reporters of Today, Tin the February
Every body's:
"This problem Of getting news back
to the office worries = reporter more
than anything else when he is sent out
Of town. The ingenuity displayed is
sometimes marvellous and frequently is
expensive. Still it Is not usual for
reporter TO send a meLsaRe twice
across the Atlantic in order TO estab-
lish communication with a place so
miles away. Calberry did this when
be covered the wreck OF the Portland
off Gaze Cod In December, 1888. 1t
was bitter work travelling up and down
the coast in that zero weather, seeking
to identify the bodies OF those washed
ashore, collecting facts about the last
terrible hours; but the knowledge that
one train left for Boston at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon and that all the wires
we're down gave Oarberfy and his
associates their keenest anguish, fer
the important news had developed
after that hour, II there wac no
direct wire TO Boston, there was
cable from Orleans on the Cape Cod
coast to Havre, France. Carberry sent
dispatch to Boston by way Of France
and New York, distance Of 6,OOO
miles. Orleans is so miles fIum Hos-
ton by railroad and much more than
half that distance IS the GROW flies. "

BASEBALL.

II is reported that Joe Myers Of this
city will pitch for Heckert's York team
next season and not the Athletics.
The York Dispatch prints the follow
ing on the ubject:
Pitcher Joseph Myers, Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, has virtually ao-
cepted the terms offered by Manager
Heckert, of the York Athletic associ-
alton, aud will probably wear a York
uniform this year. Myers ia expected
IN York this evening 20 sign his oou-
tract. Myers, who played with the
Wilmington team last year, was
one of the star right hand pitchers of
the Tri-State League. Manager Mack
OF the Athletics lost no time 10 secur-
ing his services, and the last game he
pitched was with the pennant winners
against Washington with tie score Of
3-3. With the splendid players he has al
ready signed as a nucleus there 10 no
doubt that Manager Heokert will
have by far the best team that has
ever represented this city, and York will
be long way from the bottom when
the Tri-btate season of 1903 closes.
Dick Nallin, former member of the
Harrisburg club, 10 a candidate for
umpire on President Carpenter's Tri-
State league staff. He has been win
tering in Harrisburg and Is in fine
shape. He said yesterday that several
managers have offered him terms but
that be had not as yet decided what he
would do.
Jack Titus, right fielder Of the Phila-
delphia National league club, has
bought handsome home at st. Clair,
Pa, for his sged parents out Of tie
money he saved while playing profess
sional ball. He will wear q Philadelphia
uniform again the coming season aud
is 10 excellent condition.

The MALIGNEO REPORTER.

Everybody's Magazine.
" A common charge brought against
newspaper reporters ia that they are
heartlesa, that they revel in laying
before the world the closely guarded
secrets Of individuals. 1t constantly
hsppens that q reporter must do un-
pleasant things because others have
been guilty Of those violations of GUS
tom, law, or convention that make
news. The opptobrium that belongs
to the real offender is not infrequently
reaped upan the innocent nsws-
Ratherer. There ls no work a reporter
detests so much as that involving a
social scandal, and there is no story
that large percentage of readers will
devouF more eagerly. There isn't
good reporter living who has not been
guilty Of that blackest, least forgiv-
able OF all journalistic crimes, throw
ING down his newspaper, TO project
helpless person innocsntly involved in
a Legitimate news STORY that 10 a mat
ter OF public record. On the whole.
the newH-Rhtnerera are tender r-hearted
folk and generous, and that which
often passes for cynioism is an intense
hatred and contempt for shams. IL
they appear suspicious il is because
long experience has taught them that
they must constantly guard against
deception. There is no walk OF life
good reporter is not compelled, sooner
or later, 70 invade. and his position 10
the trying one Of being compelled
either 10 gain the confidence Of or cut

GREEN TURTLES EXPENSIVE.

where They Are Caught and How They
Are Brought North.
New orleans Times-Democrat.
1.-The flesh Of the green turtle often
brings so a pound, said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes to US
from the coral reefs Gf the West Indies.
''Tne turtles are caught in nets
among the rocks. They are very care
fully brought north. They are deck
passengers at first, but IS the weather
grows cold with the ships progress
they are penned in warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
ITS different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands.
If native is bringing turtles north
he nails them fast to the deck by their
fiippers.. Strange creatures that they
are, they appear to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
1.-The oalipee and calipash are re-
speotively the fesh from the breast and
the back of tine green turtle, It'd bits
which, l have heard epicutes say, are
unequalled in the earth beneath, the
heavens above CT the waters under the
earth. This meat is superlatiyely rich
delicate and tender. Live green tur-
ties fetch, Wholesale, from a dime to
a quarter a pound. What mskes the
meat so expensive in the END is that
out of a l40 pound fish yOu'll only
get two pounds Of calipfee and one of
calipash.
Several times when there has been a
tight turtle market the chefs OF mil
lionaires and Of certain extravagant
hotels have offered me 2 a pound for
live turtle. At that rate your cali
pree and oalipasb would come to quite
$50 a pound, wouldn't it," lie led
the way to basement dark, warm, dry.
Here droWsed number Of enormous
greer turtles, and in several heavy
cases lay heaps Of what looked like
crisp, curly pieces Of glue.
That, 'said the dealer, lie the fin
est sun dried turtle meat. +"
"Doyou ever have accidents in hand
ling biR turtlesg"
mot often. Last month, though, a
200 FOUNDER bit my foreman's nose of.
The fellow has sued me for damages.
He claims the turtles ought to be
muzzled. He says elevators and dan
geTous machines have guards, and the
muzzles would be the guards of the
turtles. But that is nonsense. -
