siq Birds on Small Wings.

In the attempt to discover some
universal law of bird flight, scientists
have disclosed concerning a number
of species a most puzzling paradox,
perhaps the most mysterious of the
enigmas that the subject presents,
says a writer in Everybody's Maya
zine. Ii is that in q number of birds
and insects the size of the wings de-
ereases in proportion to the increase
I'm size of the body of the flying crea-
ture. The Australian crane, for in
stance, weighs over 300 times more
than the sparrow, but in proportion
has only one-seventh the wing area
of the smaller bird. This curious fact
is equally striking if we compare birds
with insects. If the gnat were in
creased in size until it was as large as
the Australian crane and if the wings
of the insect were enlarged to main
tain the proportion they now bear to
its body, they would be about $50
times larger than the cranes. 1t re-
quires 3.62 square feet of wing area
per pound to float the bank-swallow,
but to sustain the tawny vulture, a
monster bird in comparison, requires
only .6S of a square foot of wing sur
face per pound of body. The albatross,
weighing Is pounds, has a spread of
wing of IL feet and inches, while the
trumpeter swan, weighing 2S pounds,
has a spread Of wing of only eight
feet. The stork weighs eight times
more than the pigeon, but in proper
tion has only half as much wing sur
face.

VOYAGE MARKS 4 new EPOCH |
MAIDEN TRIP OF BIGGEST
STEAMSHIP WAS A SUCCESS.
The Lusitana Crosses the Atlantic
from Queenstown to New York in
Five Days, 81 Minutes.

New York City-A few days ago
there was a local celebration of
the hundredth anniversary of that
proud occasion when Robert Fulton's
130-foot steamer Clermont went
putting up the Hudson river at five
miles an hour. On Friday New
Workers turned out to welcome
steam craft, the passengers of which
breakfasted in Queenstown, Ireland,
Sunday and lunched in New York yes
terday. Both experiments were
epoch-making in the way of propulsive
power-the Clermont with her side
paddles and the new Cunarder with
her quadruple turbines.
The voyage of the Lusitania was
most important in that it was a test
of the most modern propulsive power.
This is the view taken by her owners,
who are satisfied that practicability of
the turbine for fast vessels has been
demonstrated and that this new de-
parture in English shipbuiding has
been justified. The fact that the Lusi-
tania was able to cross the Atlantic in
five days and 81 minutes and was able
on her maiden trip nearly to equal
the best transatlantic record, is held
w
Officials Of the line said that the
Lusitania had done all that was ex-
pected of her without her having been
pushed to make record.
Heretofore, it wAs pointed out, tGrs
bines have been constructed for mod
crate speed, but on the Lusitania and
her sister ship, The Mauritania, built
with the greatest government subsidy
ever paid, was staked the British hope
that turbine-driven vessels would
prove not only the most comfortable,
but the swiftest liners afioat.
The Lusitania is the largest liner
ever built, being 100 feet long. Her
breadth is SS feet, depth 80 feet and
gross tonnage 32,500.
The Lucania, also of the Cunard
line, and the previous record holder,
which started to pace the Lusitania
with 10 minutes advantage at Queens
town, reached Sandy Hook bar at .
O'Clock last night, Is hours behind
the new ship.

REV. TINSLEY ON
TRIAL FOR HERESY
MINISTER is ACCUSED BEFORE
M E. CONFERENCE.
IN SESSION AT CLEVELAND.
He is Charged with Preaching Con-
trary to the Established Standards
and of an "Un-Christian
Like Attitude"

Cleveland, .. - Two trials of
ministers, one for heresy and the
other for defamation Of character and
chewing tobacco, were instituted at
the session of the East Ohio confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church at the First NJ. e. church here
Thursday.
Rev. Charles w Tinsley, of Youngs-
town. was accused of preaching con
trary to the established standards
and of being "unministerial and un-
Christian-like" in his attitude toward
man. His trial began at 1870 o'clock
in the First NJ. e. church.
Rev. w. b. King, of Uhrichsville
was formally arraigned before the in
vestigating committee of the confer
ence for the tobacco habit and alleged
slander of Presiding Elder Henthorne,
who in turn has preferred charges to
be heard later,
The trial Of Or. King lasted all day.
Those who took part were sworn to
secrecy The principal witness was
Miss Meyers, whom DR.. King says he
discharged from his choir some time
ago, and who did not like the minis.
ter's talks against dancing, and moved
to Cleveland. She told the committee
of how her former pastor spat to-
bacco juice out the car window all the
way from Cleveland to Uhrichsville
one time.
Although the charges had been ex-
pected against Rev. Tinsley, still it
was thought they would not be made
until after the King Henthorne trou
BILE was settled. Rev. Tinsley was not
present az the session any of the time
and did not have any counsel present
to challenge the committee of nine Sc.
lected by the elders to make the in.
quiry into his alleged heretical dis
courses. Rev. A. Simmons was made
chairman of the probers.
Just in what respect Rev. Tinsley
preached heresy the charges did not
say. They were brief and general and
were referred to a committee of pre-
of inquiry.
The charges were signed by six
members of the conference The com
munication was read by Rev. o. w
Holmes, presiding elder of the
Youngstown district. The preferring
of the charges came out of clear
sky. The conference was considering
routine business when Rev. Holmes
suddenly arose and announcing that
he had very sad duty to perform
read the charges.
The charges declare that I'VE the
undersigned members of the East
Ohio conference. believing the teach
ings of DR.. G. w. Tinsley to be con.
trary to the articles of religion and
the established standards of doctrine
and, believing that his spirit and atti
tude toward his brothers to be unmin
isterial and un-Christian, we respect,
fully ask that a committee of inquiry
be appointed to investigate"

Would Wipe It Out Entirely.

Tariff takers, who treat the ques-
ton of revision fairly and honestly,
ask the would-be tariff tinkers, free
traders, tariff reform~rs and pro-
meters of selfish interests-all enc
mics Of the protective tariff-to name
the sections they would revise. Should
they al comply, the free-traders and
tariff reformers (they are one and the
eame) would name enough to wipe out
the protective tariff entirely, and even
chould this cl2ss Of tariff haters keep
still, the demands Of the representa-
tiVes OF selfish interests would prove
so diversified as to cover all classes
of goods and would wipe out the pro
tective principle entirely This the
true friends Of the protective tariff
will never submit to.-Tiffin (O.) Trib-

BECOME A DUMPING GROUND.
What Would Follow a Reduction OF
the Tariff.

If our tariff is reduced, as is serious
ly proposed, the United States will be.
come the common dumping ground of
the German and the British trusts, in
competition with each other. The
American people can then have the
pleasure of buying steel at a very low
price, probably less than the cost of
production. They will also have. con-
currently, the pleasure of finding other
employment for many thousands of
workmen, as American steel plants
shut down in the face of such com
petition.
Free traders in this country are re-
lying in their forthcoming assault upon
the tariff on the prejudice they may be
able to arouse by reason of the fact
that small percentage-a very small
percentage, almost infinitesimal as
compared with the whole-is sold
abroad cheaper than at home. But
that is the settled policy of manufac-
turers in European countries, and
especially is it the policy of free trade
ENGLAND. If we should lower any of
our protective duties below the point
of adequate protection European man
ufacturers would go after this market
the richest and the greatest in the
world--if they had to give their goods
away, And their people at home would
applaud them for doing it, expecting
to reap their reward later on. Mean
timH, with American industries Grip
pied, millions OF our laborers would be
without employment and hence unable
TO sustain the tremendous buying pow
CT that the country now possesses and
which Is the foundation Of cur unez-
ampled prosperity.
We went all through this experience
only few years ago. but some of us
seem to be itching for another term at
it. If they keep on fussing we shall
get it.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Retail Business Increases at the Lead
ing Cities.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade increases at the lead
ing cities as the vacation season
closes, and the opening of the fall
lines is attended with most satisfac-
tory results. AS the staple crops are
secured and marketed there is a
prompt Improvement in mercantile
collections throughout the agricul-
tural districts and the decline in
prices was especially helpful in stimu-
lating export trade. There is still
much conservatism in placing CON
tracts for future business and de-
creased speculation is another factor
that aids in restoring normal financial
conditions.
Postponed business is coming more
freely to the steel mills and there is
less disposition to wait for more
favorable conditions. Structural steel
shapes are constantly ordered, espe-
cially for bridge work, and the rail
ways seek all forms of supplies in
larger quantity than was expected for
some months.

Ten Years of DinaIey Tariff.

Last Wednesday was the tenth ami
versary of the enactment of the Ding
ley tariff law. And what a change
there is in conditionsi
Ten years is not a long period in
the worlds history. The memories of
most of us can easily span it. Ten
years ago our foreign trade was less
than $4,000 100000, now it is more
than $3,000,O00,000 year. Then the
government revenues were INSULT
cient to cover the expenditures, while
now, with the expenditures greatly in
creased, we have substantial surplus.
At that time business was depressed
and industry languished, while now
there is prosperity on every side. Ten
years ago freight cars We're going to
decay on the sidings with no call for
their use, and now, with vastly in.
creased equipment, it is the freight
that is tied up because there are not
cars enough. The ten years under the
Ding'ey tariff have been such years OF
activity and growth as neither this
country nor the world has ever known.

Great Britain AIso2 OF Course.

The Philadelphia Record utterly
misconceives the situation when it
says that the American Protective
Tariff league is urging on shallow
grounds that Great Britain shall be
denied what has been conceded to
Germany" Nothing of the sort;
quite the contrary. The American
Economist has uniformly contended
that if we are going into the game
of playing tariff favorites Great
Britain should be granted equal
favors; in fact, should be granted
more, because she is better customer
than Germany by two to one, and,
besides, she imposes no tariff at all
upon our products Saving a strictly
revenue tariff on spirits and tobacco),
whereas Germany has doubled her
tariff against our products. 1t may
be that our gifted state department
will find way to let Great Britain
in on an equal footing with Germany,
and SO avoid the shame and disgrace
of mistreating our best customer 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that such
will be the outcome, and that not only
Great Britain but every other nation
on earth will be granted the equiva-
lent of the concessions granted to
Germany. The sooner the better, for
then the country will have broad
comprehension of the policy and a
clear understanding of the practical
effects of revising the tariff downward
by Diplomatic dickering.
