Successful Airship Trial.

Sidney, N. S-Dr. Alexander Ora
ham Bell achieved signal success
Friday in the successful flight of his
airship, the Cygnet. The event,
demonstrating the possibilities of the
tetrahedral principle as applied to. fly
ing machines Is believed to mark an
epoch in the solution of the problem
of aerial navigation.
The huge contrivance Of Vulnerable
silken cells was conveyed to its cradle
on board a dismantled schooner espe-
cially prepared for the purpose. early
in the afternoon. The schooner was
then attached to the steamer Bluehill
by means of a towing line and the
whole proceeded up the lakes in the
teeth of strong northeasterly wind.
Upon the Bluehill attaining speed
Of fifteen miles an hour, the signal was
given, the cradle tipped. and the Cyg'
net, exposing Immediately her i'm,
mensa area of silken surface, scared
gracefully into the air.
A flying line connecting the airship
and the steamer directed the course
of the former, supplying the motive
power pecessary to keep it in flight.
After half hours trial the Cygnet
was allowed to drop.
She sailed gracefully down at an
angle of about twenty-five degrees and
rested on. the waters of the lake by
means of three huge floats. 1t was
then fished up and towed back to the
laboratory.

INCREASE OF
IMMIGRATION
SHOWN BY ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE SECRETARY OF COM.
MERGE AND LABOR.
MOSTLY YOUNG PEOPLE
OVER ONE MILLION ADDED TO
POPULATION DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

WaShngton.-ln his annual repor,
Oscar Straus. secretary Of commerce
and labor, devotes considerable atten-
tion to the immigration problem. The
report says in part;
The total number of aliens admit
ted during the year was l,2S5,3l9,
which exceeded that for the fiscal
year 1906 by 1874 GA. and that for the
fiscal year 1905 by $3.50. being in.
creases of seventeen and twenty-five
per cent, respectively During the
year l3oG4 aliens We're rejected an
increase over the reflections for the
fiscal year 1906 of G32. The total
number seeking admission in 1907.
therefore, was l,29S,4l3, an increase
over the total number applying in 1906
of lS5,24G.
"A notable feature of the mmigra.
tion consists in the fact that of the
aliens admitted, 1,l00,77l ranged in
in age from fourteen to forty-four
years, and 13S,344 We're less than four
teen years of age, leaving only iG.23i

much more they had it is impossible
to state-whiie l07.5 .5O2 showed
amounts in excess of that sum, and
the total amount of money which was
exhibited by arriving aliens and

S-n h.... f-t, a I,It
increase in the number of persons re-
Jected because of insanity. contagious
diseases and convictions for crime.
The hospitals of this country afforded
relief during the year to ll,52S aliens,
and warrants of deportation were exc
cutcl in the cases of 955 on the ground
of unlawful residence or because of
having become public charges, and for
other causes. a hearing having been
granted in each case. The total num-
Der Of aliens actually returned to the
countries whence they came, there
fore. was IA 1859, which, compared with
the total number returned during the
year 1906 13,10S, shows an increase of
95l. or over seven per cent.
IN order to ascertain the net in
crease of our population from year to
year by immigration it is necessary to
deduct from the figures above given
the number of aliens who have depart
ed from the United States during the
fiscal year, as well as the number de-
ported and the number of naturalized
citizens who permanently left the
country during the same period. 1t
is estimated that about 100000 aliens
departed from the United States dur
ing the fiscal year, of which number
probably 100000 were of the non-im-
migrant alien class. thus reducing the
immigration for the year to about l.
O75,00O. From these figures is further
to be deducted the number of natural
lied citizens who during the year have
permanently left the country, as well
as the number who have been de-
ported"

MILLIONS FOR
WATERWA
RECOMMENDATION OF THE Rlv.
ERs AND HARBoRs CONGRESS
At WASHINGTON.
IN RELIEF OF TRAFFIC
RESOLUTIONS ENDORSE PRESI.
DENT RoosevELT's WATER
WAYS COMMISSION.

Washington.-An annual appropiia-
Of at least $5O,O0OOO0 for the improve
ment and development of the internal
waterways of America is the gist of the
recommendations of the Rivers and
Harbors Congress. which concluded Its
sessions here Friday. No particular
project was advocated by the conven-
ton, the recommendations of the COM
mittee on resolutions which were
adopted unanimously being that a ma
tional policy for the improvement of in
ternal waterways be adopted by the
Congress of the United States.
The resolutions recte that tie time
has come when the policy of the fcd-
eral government toward waterways
over which it rightly has supreme CON
troll, should be more liberal, persistent
and continuous than heretofore; that
as a result of intermittent action mcrl-
tCrious works of Importance HcSun
many years ago are still far from COM
pletion; that appropriations for rivers,
waterways and harbors have, been
made at intervals of three years IN
stead Of annually.
Therefore the congress resolved
"First-That we earnestly urge the
adoption by the federal government of
a wide, liberal and comprehensive wa
terways policy that will provide for
the proper improvement within the
next ten years of the rivers. WAGER
ways and harbors OF our country,
by present and prospective benefits
to commerce.
"Second-That without presuming to
prescribe the engineering of the Inan.
cial details of this great undertaking,
this congress strongly urges upon The
Congress of the United States the i'm
portance of the immediate adoption OF
a comprehensive plan of waterway i'm
prcvement, OF the carrying on of the
work by adequate number of enSi-
neers and of such liberal apprODria-
tions annually as will insure the early
completion of such projects as may be
undertaken.
"Third-That we cordially indorse
the action of President Roosevelt in ap
pointing a special inland waterways
commission, being confident that its
report will prove source of accurate
and valuable information to the Amer
ican people. We further recommend
that Congress enact such laws as will
make the inland waterways commits
sion permanent, and will provide 1t
with necessary authority for its in
vestigations and recommendations.
The following recommendations we're
made for officers of the congress:
President, Joseph f. Ransdcll lou
isiana; secretary-treasurer, J. II. Eli
son. Cincinnati; directors Pacific coast
Jurisdiction, N. G. BlalOck, Walla

Annual Report Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury

MISUNDERSTANDING Cortelyou,
in his annual report, states that while
the estimates of government apprOpria-
tions for the ensuing year are made in
pursuance of law, he regrets the ne
cessity OF submitting them. as they are
for the most part problematical.
Under the head of noticeable opera.
tions of the treasury, the secretary
says that for the first quarter the ex-
cess of ordinary revenues over expen-
ditures, the deposit of lawful money in
excess Of bank notes redeemed, TO-
gether with the proceeds of the sale of
the Panama canal bonds, amounted to
$4O,020,671.22, which was restored to
the channels of trade by direct deposits
in national banks, aggregating $42,9S6,-
10000, increasing the balance therein
to $124.OSS.475.42, by October 1st.
The monetary stock of the country,
he says, increased $1S0,5S4.416 during
the last fiscal year.
OF this the growth in gold was $!25.
GS2,33G, in silver 1868. $50. and in ma
tional bank notes, $42,G7G,33O.
At the close of the fiscal year of 1907
the money in circulation amounted to
$2.772,95G.455. or a per capita of $32.22.
The number of national banks organ
lied in Colorado and their paid-in
capital stock is given as follows:
Banks, 1O4 :paid-in capital, $9,123,5OO.
On mint service the secretary re-
ports that the total domestic coinage,
including that at the Denver mint, ag-
gregated 20S,543,95S pieces.
During the fiscal year the purchases
of silver amounted to 11,999,SCC
ounces of silver bullion.

Winter Protection of Plants.

The following suggestions for the
protection OF plants against damage
during the winter are made by the
Colorado Agricultural College:
The protection of small plants dur
ing winter is simplicity itself. The
canes of bush fruits are entirely COW
cred with earth, while strawberry
beds are well coated with straw or
strawy stable manure. Peach trees
are even laid fiat on the ground and
covered during the winter. The town
of Loveland has. during some seasons.
shipped more red raspberries than any
other shipping point in the United
States. yet every cane is protected
during he winter
Raspberry and blackberry canes
are bent over till they lie nearly Nat
on the ground where the tops may be
held with pegs. Il forked stick, or with
a few shovelfulls of earth. One or two
burrows with a turning pillow on either
side will now usually cover the larger
portion of the canes so that the job
may be completed easily with a spade
and a hoe. In many localities the
canes grow too long to be easily
handled, so they must be cut back to-
a convenient height. This is done
late in the fall after growth has
stopped If done earlier, side branches
will develop and they are undesirable
under these conditions Grape vines
are protected in the same way, but
the fruit requires a much longer sea
son in which to mature and cOnse-
quently should not be included in this
class. Currant and gooseberry plants
might also be protected in the same
way, but it will seldom be found nee
eSsary.
The plants should be covered before
hard freezing weather comes on, ana
is usually done about the first of No
vember in this locality.
The covering of strawberry plants
should not be applied quite so early.
Strawberries are Cfton injured by
becoming too dry. so provision should
be made il possible so that this con
dttion may not occur at any time dur-
ing the winter.
Good judgment must be used in nm
covering the plants in the spring. If
removed too soon, they are liable to
injury by late frosts. and If left on
TOO long. growth Will start New
srowths under these conditions are
unnatural and therefore weak They
usually die when the plants are sx-
posed. and this results in much dam
Hgc
Considering the high price That
small fruits usually command. It
would appear to bo matter of great
economy. for many people to yrow
fruits for home use NJ any rate tho
danger of winter killing of the plants
need not stand in the way.
