WILL TEST BIG
AIRSHIP SOON
CULLINAN INVENTION NEARS
COMPLETION
Total Weight of Apparatus Is Two
Hundred and Fifty Pounds Less
Than the Lifting Power
of Gas Bags

"The American Eagle" the largest
airship ever manufactured in the United
States, and one in which is embodied
many new and apparently valuable
principles. is nearly ready for e(trial
flight which will be made on Wednes-
day. p. b. Cullinan, the inventor found
1t necessary to remodel the frame which
he had constructed on account of the
weight, but the new frame, which is
more than fifty feet long, weighs only
about one hundred pounds, which, with
the engine and gas bags, brings the
weight of the total apparatus to about
700 pounds. The estibated lifting power
of the two bags, which have capacity
of $4,000 cubic feet of gas each, is $50
pounds, or surplus of $50 pounds. The
engine is fourteen-horse power gas
machine and Is one Of the llghtest ever
made for an airship- Several offers
from amusement companies have al
ready been made to Mr.. Cullinan for the
right to show his machine, but he says
that until the practicabiity of his in
vention is fully demonstrated he will
not exhibit it.
The ship Is In process of construction
at the plant of the Barnard Light and
Heat company in the southeast part of
the city. Culinan first attempted to
make the necessary hydrogen gas by
passing steam through white hot iron
high quality, but he found that 1t was
impossible to make the gas in suf-
ficient quantity by that process.
viii Use Light Gas
He will use the city gas. which con-
tains more than fifty per cent of
hydrogen and several other gases, all
of which are lighter than air.
No attempt has been made to make
flight with an airship in Los Angeles
since Roy Knabenshue left for the
east. and accordingly the new ship will
be watched with interest by many. The
new features which Cullinan
has put in operation In his ship are
two lifting propellers which are also
to be used in steering the ship, and
which will aid in forcing 1t through
the air. The power from the engine is
transmitted through a curved shaft to
these rotaroseopes. The lifting power
is secured from gas contained in two
bags, each of which are fifty feet long.
and which lie side by side when In the
air. These will also act as aeroplanes.
as there Is a sheet of canvas which
makes of their bottom perfect plane.
A short trial flight viii be made Mon
day or Tuesday. "Wednesday afternoon
the flight over the city will be made.

and the delegates saluted the flag,
which was raised on the flag pole on
the grounds, with three heafty cheers.
The Indians then marched into thu
dining room. where they surrounded
the tables for their evening meal.
Rev. Mr.. Goff, pastor of the River
side Congregational church, made brief
remarks relating to the Indians. He
then introduced Rev. Mr. Wallace, who
also praised the Indians in their good
conduct and educational work.
He was followed by Bishop Bell, who
made a short address on like lines.
The delegation then returned to the
Glenwood hotel, where dinner was
served. Rev. DR.. Meredith was the
moderator at this banquet.
At the close Rev. William Horace
Day proposed the resolution, which
was adopted, coming from the Congre-
gational congress, highly compliment
ing the various favors received
throughout the day at the different
places.
At 8 o'clock the delighted delegates
started on their return to Los Angeles,
arriving at 1915 o'clock, somewhat
tired, but all agreed that the enjoyment
overbalanced the fatigue

Composition Sung

One of the most enjoyable trips ever
participated in was that over the kite
shaped track yesterday by the attend
ants of the Pacific Coast Congrega-
tionaT congress, now being held in
Los Angeles.
The train started from La Grande
station at o'clock. All were made
to feel on the start that they were to
have the time of their lives and they
were not disappointed.
Rev. F. j. Culver, chairman of the
transportation committee, and field
missionary Of Southern California
Rev. j. l.. Maile of the Congregational
Home Missionary society and the
Santa Fe railroad employees had made
ample arrangements.
Upon arriving at Ontario, box of
fine oranges was spirited on the cars,
through the good graces Of Judge
Harwood. The golden fruit was high
ly appreciated by all. especially the
eastern delegates.
Reach Pomona College
When Claremont was reached the
members OF the delegation were ush-
cred TO the Pomona college, where they
We're greeted by the faculty and 400
students who were seated in the col

IL had been planned to meet in the
new college church. but as it was not
completed the change was the result.
President G. A. Gates of the college,
after making some important am
nouncements. introduced the mod
orator, Rev. Mr.. Adams, formerly
trustee OF the college.
Rev. Mr. Bosworth spoke on "The
Christian Ministry" He said:
Il believe that anything that con-
tributes TO the welfare of man should
be encouraged. Every man should
enter an occupation OF his choice. if
possible.
Il believe that a man who practices
law which Is his chosen profession. is
as much justified in his work as the
minister. The lawyer has his work 10
do as also the minister.
THE latter is the man who all have
a right upon which to call for nearly
everything. He breaches the so-called
gospel which is TO create an effective
atmosphere.

in factory chimney caused him to act
quicker than ever.
A fire was built in a small heater in
the adjoining room and the bees roasted
alive. Paper was placed in the flue and
lighted with the result that the bees
We're driven from their brick hive in
less than three minutes.
To the Eaves
To the caves of Mr.. Taylor's resi-
dence flew the refugee bees. Undaunt-
ed by their final defeat at the hands
of Mr.. Scott, they began life over
again, and have since held carnival at
the northwest corner of the Taylor
residence.
In the opinion of the hundreds of
curious spectators that daily gather in
front of the Taylor residence and gaze
ar the busy bees, they are an entirely
new brand of dispensers of honey. In
the course of less than forty eight
hours the entire northwestern portion
of the roof has become covered with
honey.
Mr.. Taylor has only to go to his at
tic, reach out from the window with
an ordinary ladle, and gather in the
honey.
In such tremendous quantities has
the delicious product been manufac-
tured that if strenuous action is not
taken within another twenty-four
hours the bees threaten to shut out the
sunlight from the attic windows, and it
is feared that they will bridge the
space between the roof of Mr.. Taylor's
residence and Mr. SCOTS, thereby find
ing their way back to their former
home in the Scott chimney.
Suggestions to Burn
Every nelghbor within two blocks has
offered suggestions to Mr.. Taylor of
how to get rid of the industrious bees
The garden hose has been played upon
them.
The fire department in the district
has used up hundreds of gallons of
chemicals In vain efforts to extinguish
the enthusiasm of the workers and dis
gust them with their colonizing no.
tions. But through the awful assaults
Upon them they have survived with
superhuman results.
A peculiar feature of the dispositions
of the thousands of bees Is that they
have never attacked one of the many
persons who have sought their lives.
Mischieyous boys have started night
ly crusades against the bee camp. With
ladders and garden implements great
chunks of the sweet material has been
torn from the roOf and caves. Yet the
bees do not complain. They do not seek
to punish in the customary manner.
In the opinion of the East Adamsites
the bees are of a tribe of their own,
where war, jealousy, hypocrisy and gall
are wholly unknown and generosity,
peace and good will towards men are
their watchwords.

Voice From Berkeley
Prof. C. S. Nash of Berkely followed
on the lines of the preceding speaker.
Following Rev. Mr.. Nashs address
the Pomona College Glee club sang a
song, composed, words and music, by
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. at Williams
college Massachusetts,.
Dr.. GLADDEN. cheered
Rev. Mr.. GLADDEN. was introduced and
was heartily greeted by the college
students and visitors. He said:

claim to believe. carried away with
baseball and other such sports. They

At o'clock another start was made

GREAT POSSIBILITIES.

The possibilities OF development OF
