Bells Aeroplane Flies.

6elIs Reroplane Files.
According to reports from Baddeck.
G. B., the tetrahedral kite Cygnet, in
vented by Professor Alexander Ora
ham Bell, made successful ascent on
Dec. 6. While it is intended to have
the kite or aeroplane propelled by a
motor, this motor had not been sup
piled. Therefore the machine was
mounted on platform floating on the
waters Of small lake and was taken
in tow by steam launch. AS the
speed of the launch increased the ap-
paratus left the platform and soon
scared to considerable height, carry
ing with it Lieutenant Thomas e. Sell
fridge of the United States army, who
was able to manipulate the aeroplane
at will and preserve its poise with ap-
parent ease.
New Volcanic Isle Changes.
Readers will recall the discovery last
July Of new and steaming hot vol
canic island in the vicinity Of Unalaska
by the revenue cutter McCulloch, in
command of Lieutenant h. ii. Camden.
Lieutenant Camden now reports of his
second visit to the scene three months
later. The cloud of steam had van
ished, and one Of the two peaks, named
McCulloch, 1916 feet high, had entirely
disappeared, leaving the half of the
other peak, known as Perry, with its
perpendicular wall standing in grim
silence as headstone at the grave of
the departed peak" The rugged out.
lines Of the island had been softened
by padding of lava dust. while the
sand spit which connected the two parts
Of the island had attained the height
Of from twenty to hundred feet. At
intervals while they looked on masses
Of lava dust Jared from crevices high
er up crashed downward to the beach.

Capitalization as a business fact has
been accomplished. 1t only remains to
be determined whether legal conditions
shall be adjusted to the facts which
they are supposed to cover" Refer
ring to the shipbuilding industry. he
says that the total output of American
sbAyards during the year was 1857
documented vessels of 471,332 gross
tons, volume exceeded by only one
year in the last half century.
Regarding immigration the records
of the department show that the num-
Der of aliens admitted to the country
during the year was 1,2S5,349 an in
crease of 1S4,614 over the preceding
year. OF the whole number 30 per
cent were illiterate. The number re-
jected was 1904. 1t is estimated tina {
10000 aliens left the United States
during the year. Mr.. Straus criticises
our immigration laws regarding China,
calling attention to the Chinese boy
colt and stating that the imports Of
American goods into China fell from
100000 in 1905 to $26,0O0OOO in
1907, a situation which, he says, is
sufficiently startling to challenge the
attention of legislators and statesmen"
He favors change In the immigration
law, not on the ground of commercial
self interest, but ION the higher ground
of duty to friendly nation.
Panama Issue Cut to $25, 100000.
Bids to the amount Of $25,0O0OOO OF
the recent offering of Panama canal
bonds have been accepted by Secretary
Cortelyou at an average price of 1O3,
and nearly all of the accepted bids are
from national banks which were in a
position to take out additional circT-
latiOn at once. 1t was thought that
the per cent certificates would not
exceed $15,000,0OO. The secretary says
that the Improvement justifies him in
limiting both the new issues.
Extension of the Riding Test.
The war department has published a
general order of the president requir-
ing every field officer to make each
year practice marches of three consec-
utive days Of not less than thirty
miles each. In his order the presi-
dent says it is just as much the duty
of army officers ito pursue such habits
as Will maintain physical condition
fit for active service as to cultivate
their minds for the intellectual duties
of their profession"
GoIdfield Investigation Ordered.
At the direction of the president a
special commission, consisting OF Law
renee OMurray, assistant secretary Of
commerce and labor; Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations,
and Charles P.>Neill, United States la
Dor commissioner, started for Gold

Wine Growers For Temperance.
At the banquet held in connection
with the recent meeting Of the Amer
lean Wine Growers association in
New York seventeen varieties OF Amer
lean wine and ten brands of cham
payne were served. The following res
olutions were unanimously adopted by
the association: whereas, the grape
and wine growers in this country are
deeply interested in the proper solu-
ton of the so called Temperance ques-
ton, and, whereas, they believe that
the use of light wines at meals in the
homes will do more for temperance than
all the no license and prohibition laws
yet passed. be it resolved that this
association cordially invites the CO.
operation of temperance organizations
and societies toward seconding the eff
fort for providing the selling Of wines
separate from the general liquor IL
cense and that we welcome any legis-
lation which will bring about this re-
suit as the right step in a temperance
movement that will be widespread and
beneficial in its results"
