Fishing In a Fog.

Secretary Taft and Justice Harlan of the Supreme
Court, while recently playing golf on the Murray
Bay links near Mr.. Taft's summer home, were ap-
preached by a photographer who requested them to
sit for picture together. Justice Harlan, removing
his cap, disclosed thoughtful but decidedly shiny
dome.
'You want to look out, Judge" said Mr. Taft !;
you'll fog the plate"
Speaking of fogs," said the Justice, reminds me
of the game of golf once played at Chevy Chase
links. 1t thick muggy murky morning with
a heavy fog rolling in mpenetrable banks across the
lawn. I drove off straight into one of these opaque
clouds. Having general sense of the direction the
ball had taken-by the way, it was headed toward
the desired green-I walked on and on probably
one hundred and fifty yards or more At last came
up to my little negro caddy.
"'Wheres my ba11?' I asked.
"'Foh de Lawd, Massa Harlan hit done gone in
de hole he exclaimed.
"And," concluded the Justice with twinkle in
his eye you may imagine my surprise when
found that such actually the fact"
There was an ominous silence, broken at last by
Secretary Taft clearing his throat and beginning:
your remarkable performance in this fog, Judge
reminds of something that occurred to me one
misty morning-not the golf links, but with
hook and line. The story has been told and retold
in many parts of this prosperous and veracous coun-
try, but I was the original fisherman to whom the
following incident happened
Gas you know, my favorte fishing place is some
five and half miles from here on the river, and my
favorite hour for this sport is before sunrise I
therefore, night, had all arrangements made
horse and buggy ready and left call to be awakened
at $3.50 o'clock the next morning On getting up I
found the whole countryside enveoped in thick
gray fog, but as I familiar with every foot of

The brave ship was wallowing in the waves that
threatened to engulf her at any moment
Hastily the captain ordered a box of rockets and
flares brought to the rail, and with his own hands
1gn1ted number Of them, in the hope that they
would be seen and the passengers and crew rescued
Mid the rockets red glare tall thin austere
individual found his way with difficulty to the rail
and spoke to the captain.

An Aerial Fighting Ship.

Inc new army a1rSh1p to supplement the Null
Secundus is being rapidly completed at the British
office balloon factory at Marlborough, England.
1t will have speed capacity of thirty miles an hour
against ten-mie-an-hour wind, 1t is declared, or
forty miles an hour in a calm and will remain in
the air during a RAINFALL thus overcoming the diff
Guilty which ended the Multi Secundus' flight at the
Crystal Palace The ship will have $50 pounds
more lifting power than the first vessel, and will
carry in its envelope 10000 cubic feet more gas The
driving engine will have twice the power of the Multi
Secundus. The following table shows comparison
of the airship and the Null Secundus as altered
since its voyage over London:
Null New
Secundus Arship.
Engines (horsepower) ........... so 100
Gas bag capacity (cubic feet) 49,. $4,000 $4,000
Gas bag diameter (feet) .......... 80 40
Lifting power, including equipment
and passengers pounds ....... 3,40O 1900
Speed per hour, in calm (mi1es) . II 40
Maximum number of passengers
The Null Secundus, it will be remembered, lost its
lifting power when "sodden" by the rain This was
one of the first considerations in the making of the
new gas bag. In fact of the initial experiments
with the ship will be an attempt to fy it in the
rain The gas bag is much greater in diameter than
the first, though about the same length Meantime
the Null Secundus is not being neglected Mr. Cody
who personally superintends the making of the drv-
ing and aeroplane apparatus recently returned from
an inspection of the French airship La Patrie near
Paris with view to obtaining light 100 horsepower
petrol-driven engines. But it is still hoped that en-
gines of English make may be used Numerous
British manufacturers have been applied to, so far
without result. About $50 pounds of dead weight
will be removed by tightening the Nu1i's framework,
and this will go toward increased weight of a higher
power engine

LABOR NOT PROTECTED.

In Germany, the leading pro.
tectionist country of Europe,
and one which has recently in
creased the duties on it's i'm
ports, there is increasing dis
tress arising from low wages
and high prices for the neces-
saries of life. Consul Hannah,
Of Magdeburg reports an enorr-
Gus increase in the cost of liv-
ing for 1906 oyer 1905. He also
reports that in certain indus
tries the highest possible earn
ings of laborers is S cents an
hour and the average only 4
cents, American money. The
Consul at Zittau tells similar
story. These reports show that
tariff taxes do not improve the
condition of working men. The
high wages paid in this coun
try in the building, and rail
road, and mining industries,
which are not protected. prove
that it is not a protective tariff
but the organizations of labor.

ton and difficulty in proc uring
certein raw materials. owing t.,
prohibitive duties.

come around for Democrats to

the recollection of all differ
ences from 1893 to 1908 should
be forgotten.
More than was threatened by

term taken from one of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's statements 70
express executive authority, is
coming into such general use
that the constitution of the
United States is encroached
upon and is violated every day
in this year of grace. A two.
billion dollar Congress has jus,
adj ourned and the business in.
terests Of the country are to.
day struggling ia the grasp OF
a threatened panic. Corrup.

the cry of "expansion" an
epithet of disgrace. Exposures

Therefore, the demand and
the command Of the plain pee.
pie from every quarter OF our
country is that the Democrats
get together. Already Mr..
Cleveland has sounded the kew
note ot conservatism in regard
t. the treatment OF railroad
property and Mr.. Bryan de
claFes that The corporations OF
transportation and com nlunica-
ton must treat the people fair
jy in return for government,
protection. Indeed. the out
! look is that in 1908 the reunited
Democracy Of this country will
join hands, all factional d fer

vying with each other 10 do the
best for the whole country, as
they did in 1876 when the soft
money supporters and the
"hard money" men, the conser-
vative greenbackers and the
mint money advocates. the
Randalls and the Carlyles, the
Wattersons and the Vests all
touched shoulders and elbows
in the resistless march to vic
tory.
