NEW YORK TO HAVE REGULARLY
APPOINTED ALIGHTlNG PLACE.
Is to Be a Half Way House Between
Fort George and Coney Island
for the Use of Daring
Aeronauts.

Let the skeptic of the future of the
airship sit up and take notice that
New York city has progressed so far
in the encouragement of aeronautics
as to plan a regularly sta
ton for the use of airships. 1t is to
be at Broadway and Twenty-ninth
street. and a fleet of passenger air
ships is promised by the projectors
of the new rapid-transit air route
from Fort George to Coney Island
Fred Thompson and Joseph Weber
incorporate the Aerial Navigation
Company of America, establish the
New York station and build their
ships to be run next summer.
The promoters believe the expert
mental stage of the airship has
passed, and they are backed in their
opinion by all the airship experts
with whom they have talked. Bald
win, Knabenshue and Stevens, all of
whom have done much to push Amer
lea to the front in the construction
and flying of airships, have urged on
the project.
The proposed route is from Vanity
Fair, the new amusement park at
Fort George, to Luna park, Coney
Island, with one stop at Broadway
and Twenty-ninth street. The course
to be steered by the pilot of the ship
which is as nearly as possible an air
line, is about 20 miles.
The fiat, low-roofed buildings owned
by Mr.. Weber at Broadway and
Twenty-ninth street made an ideal
site for a New York or Broadway
station of the airship route, and the
two huge parks owned by Mr.
Thompson provided attractive ter.
minals. SO Mr.. Thompson and Mr.
Weber agreed to so into the thing to-
gether,
AS soon as they had definitely de-
cided to carry out their plan they
communicated with the leading air
ship pilots in the country All the re.
plies were more than favorable.
The new airship, which will be No.
1 of the Weber and Thompson com.
pany, will be 80 feet long, 1t will be
similar T. the California airship in
which Capt Baldwin made several
successful flights last summer. Plans
for the stations at Vanity Fair, Web,
ers theater and Luna park will be
prepared by architects within a few
weeks and the work of building them
will begin Immediately.
At Vanity Fair there is to be a steel
platform that will rise nearly 100 feet
in the air. Elevators will carry pas
sengers from the surface to the air
ship car. A restaurant and palmroom
will make the platform a popular
place Leaving Vanity Fair, the air
ship will rise straight in the air, turn
sharply until it is directly over
Broadway, and then fly straight down

A "RoIand For an oIiver.r

The common phrase to give a "Ro-
land for an oliver" owes its origin to
the romancers of the middle ages.
Roland and Oliver were real persons.
the two most famous OF the ~ peers
who surrounded Charlemagne.
Their exploits were represented in
such an exaggerated and ridiculous
fashion by the old romancers that
the two names became synonyms for
eXtrayagant tales. Finally the ex.
preston arose of giving one a "Ro-
land for his Oliver" to signify the
matching of one incredible lie with
another.-Sunday Magazine.

How Pineapple should Be Taken.

The reputation of the pineapple has
suffered because it has been eaten in
too large quantities at time and the
fibrous part has been swallowed with
the juice To obtain the full digestive
value of the juice one quadrant of a
slice half an inch thick is ample at
one meal. 1t must not be cooked and
should be just ripe. The preserved
fruit has practically no digestive pos

Miss Ward
AS the method for teaching the blind

which they are doing were passed
about for inspection. The Moon sys-
tenn of raised alphabet was praised in
preference to the old method One
woman who has been blind for 10 years
does her own corresponding on the new
grooved line paper for the blind
Crocheting was explained as being
less mechanical than knitting and
therefore better adapted 70 the blind.
Hammock making has been very popu-
lar for the men and basket making has
been popular for all The bead and
replica work are favorites for the chill
drcn. Sewing is done with self thread
