A HOLLAND ARSHR.

Inventor of Submarine Boat Il
Working on One that Will Fly.
The report comes from New Yorl
that John P. Holland. the inventor o
the submarine boat, Is about to Civ
to the public an invention Of a flyin,
machine said to be Of as perfect
construction as the submarine bearing
his name. Mr.. Holland has been work
ing on flying machines for nearly
twelve years, during which time foul
models have been constructed and de-
stroyed on account Of their imperfec-
tions. He is now working on the fifth
model, which he believes will be made
to fly. This latter model weighs only
thirty pounds. It 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 O pound each. In speaking
of his invention. Mr.. Holland said:
"Any man who walks three miles an
hour can easily fly the same distance
in ten minutes with my invention and
I. 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
fiys. If a 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 a number Of flying machine
experts who use a 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. It is his intention to make ex-
periments with his machine next
spring.

YANDERBLLT'S NEW AUTO.
1t Is Planned to Make $50 Miles al
Hour.


Mr.. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt is having
constructed secretly an automobile
which he hopes will be the fastest ma
chine in the world. He is an automo-
bile enthusiast and is determined with
the aid of the wealth at his command to
break the present record. The ma
chine which he is having built is esti-
mated to be capable Of developing 152
miles an hour with $50 horsepower.
Such speed is the equivalent of 21S feet
for every clock tick; it means q mile
in 20 rs seconds. The present mile
record is 80 As seconds made by H. l..
Bowden, at Ormond Beach, Fla, last
February.
Should Mr.. Vanderbilt be able to at
tain such extraordinary speed with this
automobile it will mean that it will go
faster than anything in the world
heretofore. The best time ever made
on a railroad was a mile in 30 seconds;
this was on the Plant System on run
from Fleming to Jacksonville, Florida,
when five miles were covered at the
rate of 120 miles per hour. Not only
will it 60 faster than the speed ma
chimes of to-day but the new automo-
ollie flyer promises to carry it's driver
faster than man has ever travelled be-
fore in the world. In fact it is stated
that even few birds could fly at such a
pace

Facts About Henry Hndson.

Why should an Englishman who 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 a legitimate foun-
dation, 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 US
ing the Dutch equivalent is that Henry
Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices on
one CT 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 a Dutch
COPY of Hudson's contract with the d.
rectors of the East India Company. The
document was appended to a manu-
script history Of the company, pre-.
pared at its request by P. van Dam,
the counsel of the company from 1862

Mrs. Hendersons vegetarian dinners
have always been a 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 cro-
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
a 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.

Of the food which she proposed to
serve to her guests Mrs. Henderson
had a special analysis made by DR..
Wiley, Chief Of the Bureau OF Chemis-
try of the Department of Agriculture,
DR.. Kellog, of Battle Creek, and other
scientists who were in Washington at
tending the convention. Mrs. Hender-
son has an English vegetarian chef,
BENEFIT. who is famed for his delicious
recipes and after sample of each
dish had been made it was given over
to the scientists for analysis. Souve-
mir menus were prepared for each
guest and attached to the card was the
recipe for every dish served throughout
the dinner. The entire menu consist
ed Of: =.

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 a 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 bool0
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
leclination of prominent politician
who has a reputation for liking good
dinners, but who was afraid that with
out meat his evening meal would be
spoiled.
Mrs. Henderson's arrangements for
Uthe dinner were unique.

The farmer Of to-day finds an en-
tirely different situation and a strong
and increasing competition. The vast
wilderness has been settled, and
through continual and often ignorant
and ill-advised tillage, the soil has
been depleted Of its fertility. While
agriculture has thus been retrograding
and the competition continually grow
ing keener but little has been done to
fit the farmer to cope with the chang
ing conditions. The average country
boy to-day receives much better edu-
cation, viewed by present educational
standards, than did his grandfather,
yet it is along lines which help him
but little to maintain his position In
