Bishop Darlington Gives Baccalau-
rate Sermon at Annapolis

ANNAPOLIS, Md. June 17.-Before an
unusually large congregation In ST Annes
p. E. Church. Annapolis. yesterday morn
ing, Right Rev. James II. Darlington,
bishop of the diocese Of Harrisburg. Pa.
preached the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of St. Johns College. the
members of which were seated in the front
pews.
Bishop Darlingtons sermon was inter-
esting and contained much advice for the
development OF strong minds and charac-
tiers. mentally and morally. He selected
his text from III Kings V. %: and he
went In and stood before his master And
Elisha said unto him. Whence contest thou.
GehaZi? And he said. Thy servant went
no whittier" The bishop touched upon the
excellent address delivered by Rev George
NJ. Cummings of Washington at the joint
celebration by the literary societies of the
colleges Saturday night. his remarks touch
body and mind. He advocated plenty of
fresh air for the accomplishment of these
purposes. He said that for a man to ac-
quire disease was sin against God as
well as against his body. One inherits
strong or weak body from his ancestors,
he said and it is for him to develop it.
Bishop Darlington said that such men as
Roosevelt. Van Dyke. Burroughs and
understand the gospel of open air and exer-
else. and that it is our DUTY to cultivate
our bodies in order that they may be as
useful possible. He said that the mind
was still greater. in the proportion that
the work of the engineer who planned the
digging of canal was greater than that
of the men who used the spades and that
We are responsible to God for It's deyelop-
ment to the utmost
He said that the qualities of the heart and
soul were greater than the others, and that
great strength of mind and body amounted
to little If there was not the heart that
was touched by the affairs of those around
it and did not cause the bodily and mental
powers to minister to others. In conclu-
sionr Bishop Darlington said that he would
not warn his hearers against immortality
and uncleannesS of Hfe as those things
were expected. but would urge them against
selling themselves by devotng their powers
to anything but righteous purposes no mat
ter how speciously the attempted bride
might be offered. He urged upon his hear
ers that they should learn of Christ and
seek every means to increase his influence
in their lives. He urged the graduates in
particular to learn to know Christ, who. he
said. would show himself to them as the
manifest of men.
He said that the Savior was a splendid
example. and while 1t was all right to main
tain high moral character. it is we'll to
add Christ to 1t. The preacher also touched
upon the fact that yesterday. the third Sun
day after Trinity. was the three hundredth
anniversarySof the founding on jamestown
Island of the first church in America.
Among those who heard the baccalaureate
sermon were Gov and Mrs. Warfield.

NEWARK. June 17.-so eager for death
was old James Gulick Saturday that after
ne had bored a hole in his head with a pis-
tol bullet he uttered such sanguinary threats
that he scared away a doctor who had been
called. Then. apparently deciding that the
law might as well have look In at the
end. Gulick walked from his home to the
police station. mile away. He performed
that feat with piilowcase wrapped around
his head to stanch the flow Of blood. When
the amazed policeman had heard his story
he was hustled In an ambulance to ST.
Michaefs Hospital. The doctors say he is
likely to die.
Guick. who is ffty-seven years old. at
one time weighed about 300 pounds He was
known at that time among ais intimates as
slim Jim. Recently he has fallen away
greatly. and several times he has announced
belief that he was dying. His remarkable
decrease in weight has preyed upon his
mind. and it Is believed his suicidal act was
committed In moment of insanity.
1t was about $50 m. when three shots
were heard by tenants in the house in
which Gulck lived.
DR.. George o. Welshman was summoned
AS he entered Gulicks room the wounded
man sprang up and asked him what he
wanted.
I'm a physician" the doctor replied.

the room
The doctor FASTENED to the nearest tele-

to find Quick gone. The wounded man had
made his way down the back stairs to an
alleyway, thence hurrying to the police sta

Washington Experiments.

There are two other experimenters in
Washington who have not yet done any
thing that has been definitely reported to
to hope achievements. One is Emile Ber-
portant telephone attachments, and the
other Prof Alexander Graham Bell. the
inventor of the telephone, who has been
for years interested in the development of
the tetrahedral kite. in which he hopes this
summer to install motor. DR.. Bell has
developed the kite to the point Of carrying
man on the flying rope. and believes that
he will soon have the flying machine on as
practical a footing the automobile.
The view of the patent office that the
problem of mechanical flight is On the
verge of solution comes from the fact that
ventors all over the country working on
the problem. The official in question be-
lieves that some one Of these men will
strike the solution of the problem or pos
sib1y more than one will do so about the
same time In speaking of the matter one
of the officials of the patent office said:
Alexander Graham Bell is known to the
world only as the inventor of the tele-
phone" said the patent office expert. THE
fact is that he is an inventor Of wonderful
range of thought whose other discoveries
have been very useful to the world. He is
peculiarly adapted to the study of such
abstruse problems as that of flight, which
calls for the highest degree Of mathematical
skill as we'll past mastership In the
science of mechanics. Imagination is an
indispensable quality in an inventor. and
this is possessed by DR.. Bell to a remark
able degree. He delights in projecting his
mind forward. seeing things as they may be
and should be rather than they are. and
critically dissecting with his analytical fac
ulty what imagination bodies forth

STILL WORKING ON PROBLEM
Combines Technical knowledge and
Skill With Inventiveness-Wha

TILL WORKING ON PROBLEM

That the day of the flying machine is al
most here is the firm conviction of some Of
the experts of the patent Office who have
had to do with the examination of claims
for patents on these devices. OF course no
body has flown yet, that is to say. there
have been a number of successful trials. but
they are all more or less shrouded in mys-
terry except the performances of Santos
Dumont who has been curiously Indifferent
to publicity compared with all the other
inventors who think they on the point
of solving the problem
According to Baden Powell who has been
experimenting for the British war office.
the score stands about as follows:
Three successful engine-driven fiers made
by Prof. S. p. Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution. but none of them large enough
to carry a man.
Actual flights by Orville and Wilbur
Wright of Dayton. Ohio but nothing def
mite given to the public as to the details Of
their machine.
Flights in France.
Successful flights for short distances by
two Frenchmen Waugh and Baure. but
nothing very definite given out
Santos-Dumont, one flight of something
over 100 yards in his aeroplane the Bird Of
Prey Dumont is now working a combi-
nation aeroplane and dirigible balloon
which will be $40 pounds heavier than air.
But it has not vet been tried
This is the form of machine about which
Santos Dumont talked to Prof. Langley
about several years ago and which he
thinks will solve the flying machine problem
by giving the machine slight lift with the
balloon and then decreasing the size of the
balloon as one comes nearer to the prin-
ciples of the true aeroplane.
The gliding machines that have been
used. emuating the soaring of a bird
without the use of motor. are quite nu-
merous. but they can scarcely be ranked
with actual flight They include the ex-
periments of Liienthal and Pilchner both
of whom were killed in their work; Mr..
Chanute of Chicago. an American engineer
and sponsor of the Wrghts, and the
Wright brothers themselves. who made ex-
tensive gliding experiments at kittyhawk.

A Look Ahead.

Looking forward in this way. Dr. Bell Is
as certain Of ultimate success of human
flight as he is of the success of the tele
phone. One. he says. is in the future. the
other in the past, but both are material
facts to him. In talking with him l have
been impressed with his absolute convic-
ton not only of the feasibility of me-
chanical flight, but of its speedy accomplish
ment. The same thing absorbs the minds
of some others of our great inventors, who
are apparently convergins their ideas to-
ward a focus where perhaps the secret will
be found.

Mr.. Manley's Experiment.

Another man who is working most intel
ligently on the secret of aerial locoElotion is
c. NJ. Manley. who was engineer for the
late DR.. s. p. Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution. Mr. Manley is pursuing the
study of aeroplanes along the lines pro-
jected by Secretary Langley. He has an
advantage over Langley in being skilled
mechanic and engineer. Langley had fine
ideas. but he had to go to other people to
have the work done. and this caused great
delay and imperfect execution.
"Other inventors and scientists whose
names are world famous are at work on
this problem. In addition to them there
thousands of unknown men at work
all over the world. In Germany a school of
aeronautics has been established where
young men are to study the sciences per-
tanning to aerial locomotion. ballooning
meteorology and on. In France the
Aeronautic Sport Club and Academic Aero
nautique are enlisting the interest of thou
sands of people in the study of aerostation
