correspondent of the Philadelphia

during the day. followed late at night
by heavy electrical storm. Amid
the heavy downpour Of rain there was

Of panic and are no longer sceptical

Cherish her. Bill: be kind TO her In her

Mr.. Strong added. Look at her: she
Is as active as a gosling."
This was anectionate exaggeration.

EXPENSIVE CAR FARE.
Raymond Hitchcock Encounters Ac-
qusintsnee Who Lives Far Away.

Raymond Hitchcock. the star Of
Henry W. Savages "A Yankee Tour
is" company. was In New Orleans not
many months ago and took the oppor-
lunity OF going TO the races.
During the afternoon the comedian
dashed several tickets. the result of
good guesses on which horse should
win. He was feeling happy after the
last race and started for the automo-
bile which was TO convey him back 10
his hotel As he was about TO climb
Into the machine he felt hand on his
arm and n man shouted In his ear:
Hello. Hitchcock. how are you!
Hear you put crimp in the bookies
today
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepiylly. not recognizing the man
and not wishing To show II.
Say. want to speak with you con
fidentiaily." said the stranger.
"All right. what Is IT." asked the
comedian.
well. am up against some hard
luck to-day. They cleaned me and !
want TO get home. Now don't let any
one OF these people see you. but slip
me- enough for car fare. will you"
sure" said Hitchcock. placing his
hand In his pocket Then he paused
and queried: Where do YOU live
"vancouveg." was the answer.
Hitchcock took flying leap for his
machine. and unless the visitors at
New Orleans are more gullible the i'm
pecunious one Is still looking for car
fare.

Manley was present AZ the meeting.
and In the discussion that followed
DR.. Bells paper he said II was the
general belief that the aerial expert
mcnts OF the Smithsonian Institution
had been dropped. This. he said. was
rot correct: that they had been mere
Iy suspended: and he hoped In the
no, very distant future TO take out
the big airship and give It another
trial.
The situation with the big airship In
the Smithsonian Is rather complicated.
The war department has some rights
In II. having furnished the officers and
had the supervision Of some of the
expenditures connected with II. The
machine Is the property of the Smith
sonian Institution In point OF posses
sion. and from the fact that II was
made by Prof Langley. the former
secretary. The government. not be-
ing much In touch with the subject Of
aerial navigation. has little faith In the
machine. II Is stated. and II Is regard
I'd as n certainty that there will not

Mr.. Manley. as stated. IL the en-
gineer who built the airship. When
the subject Of a lightweight engine was
under discussion Prof. Langley went
personally to the most expert engine
builders In this country and In Europe
and tried to get an engine built on the
general lines he had laid down. None
Of them would undertake the contract.
and the result was that Mr.. Manley.
then young man In Prof. Langley's
employ. did the work himself. and pro-
duced a 52-horsepower engine at con-
siderabiy less than five pounds weight
per horsepower. Manley stipulated but
one thing. and that he should have the
honor OF navigating the machine on
her FIRST trial. This was granted him.
but the attempt was failure. and
now he wants to take another try at
4.
How long Il will be before the trial
Is actually made ID a question. How
ever the machine Is still there. and
he principal thing lacking Is some one
with the nerve and money To risk the
initial trip.
