prediction Of Prof. Alexander Graham Belt
one of whose kites only this month per-
formed the feat of lifting a 1S5-pound man
with tackle weighing siXty-two pounds thirty
feet above the ground. Prof. Bells device
has never yet been made part of an air
ship or been combined with an engine and
propeller, but 1t is unquestionably one OF
the most important inventions yet made in
connection with the conquest of the air On
the lines followed by the pioneer inventors
1t might be possible to make small appa-
ratus practicable where large one would
fail. With given design, while the sus-
tanning power increased with the square of
the dimensions the weight would inc ease
with the cube. Even the box-kite. with
which many experimenters have worked,
requires bracing whenever several kites
bound together, and increases in weight
faster than in lifting power.
Prof Bells tetrahedral kite overcemes
this objection. 1t is merely a frame of six
sticks of equal length fastened at the cor,
neTs so as to form a triangular pyramid.
Two sides are covered with some thin fab
rio. Each of such units is absolutely firm
and stable. needing additional brac,ng;
and they can be bound together In any de-
sired number without fmpairihg their eff

studies the lifting power increases exactly
as the weight. Ten units weigh ten times
as much as one, and viii lift ten times
much. There would seem TO be no theoreti-
cal obstacle to constructing such kite or
aggregation of kites capable of lifting any
given weight into the air. If a man ana

who touches her closed eyelids and the skin
around with bits of cotton moistened with
cologne every day, when fatigue has begun
to take away the brilliancy of her express
sive orbs and when dark circles appear like
shadows around her eyes. These dark cir
cles are the bane of the tired girls life, no
matter how gay her spirits, how lively her
conversation, how animated her face-the
circles tell their tale of fatigue for every
one to read.
There is often some internal cause for
these black ings under the eyes. Sometimes
1t is hereditary, and then again they are
due to some congestion Of the little veins
beneath the eyes. They should vanish. how
ever, IL the tired girl will determine on get
ting enough sleep, even if she has to sacri-
five her pleasure or study hours. The best
external treatment ds bathing around the
eyes with turpentine liniment bit of
cotton once daily. Great care should, how
ever, be taken to keep this from the eye
itself The girl who studies hard, or who has
other sight-destroying occupations, has
usually to depend on artificial light to
great extent, especially in our large cities.
Even the best artificial light is straining to
the eyes and mpercepibly the constant
drain causes the tissues around the eyes to
become weakened and then used up, SO that
the emaciated, sunken look is in evidence in
our poor girl. This gives expression of
WEAKNESS to the most youthful face, and
should be guarded against.
Massage with the finger tips in the corner
of the eyes near the nose, and from there
to the outer edge. This will prevent the
eyes from getting that hollow look which
may be "penetratin' and interestin'" in
pictures but is scarcely healthy pretty
in real life. Before massaging the eye, the
fingers should be lightly dipped In one of
the lanolin preparations. When the eyes
are infiamed from too much and too con-
slant reading, or irritated by the cold,
soothing eyewash can be made Of hot water
poured on tea leaves and the mixture al
lowed to steep and cook
And now for the dstsoping lines In the
tired girls face. A b. 18th and rest will do
something toward ersking them. but mas
sage and will power must do their share.
The will power helDs the expression. OF
course, when you are tired. 1t Is easier to
let the corners of the mouth drop, but IL you
remember that those dropping lines may
stay there permanently. 1t Is only nee
essary spur of vanity that makes one keep
on smiling To help this, curl the mouth
comfortably upward. hold your hands on
each side Of your chin and rub gently and
quickly upward. This stimulates the circu-
lation and relieves the sensation of sagging
and fatigue.
One word more to the tired girl Learn
to walk. stand and sit correctly. Learn to
hold up your back straight and get the full
benefit of your lungs and you will be able
to do more in a day and feel less fatigue
and your WEAKNESS will not leave sunh
early and devastating marks on your face.

in a chair in his library there this morning.
He had been missing ten days and is sup
posed to have been dead for that length
Of time. The body was badly decomposed.
Asphyxiation caused his DEATH and 1t was
undoubtedly accidental. In the room where
he was found a gas stove burned at his feet.

Mr. James frequently left here for trips
to Richmond, Washington. Baltimore OF

for some time excited no undue concern.
He was a member Of the Virginia Club
Norfolk; the Westmoreland, Richmond and
of clubs in the other cities which he was
in the habit of visiting. Being possessed
of a fortune of about $500, 900, he entered
no business or profession. but devoted his
time to writing and reading. His writings
were confined principally to historical sub
JectS, and at the time of his death he was
writing history of Norfolk city and coun-
ty. He was fifty-eight years of age.

Director p T. Moran. comic recital was
rendered by Mr.. E. A. Brand.
Prof Mooney touched upon racial charac-
teristics and spoke Of the necessity for more
active work by representative men of the
Irish race in fields of literary, scientific and
educational endeavor. He brought out many
incidents relating to the genius of men of the
Irish race in the early history of the United
States credit for which is often bestowed
upon SO-called 'Scotch-1rlSh'' and anglo
Saxon" pioneers.
D. J. Scully, a newspaper man of the
monumental city, spoke of American Irish
history. and said the grandfather of Edgar
Allen Poe was an Irishman. Mr.. Scully
said that he had devoted much time to a
study of Poe's life and his ancestry and had
secured convincing evidence that Poe's
genius was Irish. Mr.. Scully also stated
| that there is at present no monument in the
state of Maryland to the memory OF Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, and he brought forth
tremendous applause when he said that it
was the intention of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians of that state to have a bill
passed in.the legislature appropriating $685.
600 for the erection OF monument In the
city of Baltimore to the memory of the Illus
trious Catholic signer Of the Declaration of

the organization was backed by the whole
Catholic population of the state. whose
power and influence will be used to bring
the project to grand success.
Rev Dr. Healy Of the Catholic University,
who has just returned from an extensive
European trip, including visit to ireland.
related his experience and outlined the po-
litical situation as he found it in the land
of his forefathers. Prof. Dunn spoke inter-
estingly on the Gaelic movement and the
progress being made among the people Of
the Irish race throughout the world. Ma
tional Director Moran closed the program
with an address on the principles and aims
of Hibernianism.~ At the close vote of
thanks was accorded the speakers of the

STEAMER LOST; CREW SAVED.
Ashore Off Cape Henry in a Very
DANGEROUS Storm.

A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says: The
steamer George Farwell, timber laden, from
Jacksonville Fla. for New Haven, Conn.
is ashore Off Cape Henry, and will probably
be total loss, but all on board were saved.
Capt. J. B. Chisholm and his crew of fif-
teen were landed from the wrecked steamer
today by the life-saving crews from the
Cape Henry and Virginia Beach stations.
The steamer, laden with $4,000 feet of
cypress timber, went ashore in gale last
night. She left Jacksonville Friday, Octo-
Der II. From the start she encountered
heavy head winds and was forced to go far
out of her course.
Barely Crept Along.
At her best she could not make more
than seven or eight knots an hour, and
most of the time she crept along at a
speed far less than this. When Hatteras
was passed last Friday night Capt. CHS
holm found his fuel running low, and knew
he could not maintain sufficient steam by
burning part of his cargo to keep the
crafts head to the gale. He describes the
storm of Friday as the worst in his twenty
years experience along the Atlantic coast
Early last evening the crew sighted Cape
Henry light.
At that time a dense fog was gathering
Soon it Obscured the beacon, and the noise
Of the wind and sea prevented the warning
siren at the cape being heard. Shortly be
fore o'clock in the evening the lookout at
Cape Henry life-saving station saw the
steamers lights close ashore. and about
the same time the Farwell hit the beach.
The life savers hurried to the scene.
On the second shot from the line gun the
crew of the steamer caught the line, and
before o'clock in the morning twelve sea-
men had been hauled through the surf In
the breeches buoy. There were left aboard
Capt. Chisholm, the first and second officers
and the chief engineer. They dashed the
breeches buoy to the mast and refused to
come ashore, SO the life savers had to stay
on the beach all night At daybreak all the
baggage of the crew was hauled ashore and
then the four men made the journey to
land.
