Hurled Down 600 Foot Cliff Man Who
 Stole Young.
 Frank Schreiber of Colorado Springs, Colo, was recently badly Injured as q result of a fight with a mother eagle whose young he stole from a nest on the side of a preciplpe 600 feet from the valley below.
 schreiber discovered the nest in the North Cheyenne canyon, 1SO feet from the top of the precipice. He descended to the nest by means of a rope, When he seized two of the young birds the mother swOoped down on him and fought him with all the skill her ma ternal instincts could inspire.
 Schreiber used a pistol with poor eff. feet and soon the rope which held him was clawed until 1t snapped, and schreiber rolled down the almost per EsndIcular cllfr for a distance of 600 feet. That he was not killed was due to the fact that at intervals projecting lodges broke the force of his fan.

cation, which, he said, were to culti-
vate the language of the Fatherland
much as the alliance Franchise
cultivated that of France.

New York society, and Leo Foehrding,
It's secretary. made addresses of en-
eouragement.

PASTORS A TOO LOW,
SAYS BISHOP POTTER.
Tells Ministers Steps SHOULD Be Taken
to Increase It Because of Higher
Cost of Living.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-That the pay of
preachers is decreasing, while the cost OF
living Is constantly on the increase, was
the declaration of Bishop Potter at the
meeting yesterday of the 124th annual con-
vention of the Protestant EpiscopalChurch
of the city and diocese of New York,
which is in session at the Cathedral Of st.
John the Divine. 18th street and Amster-
dam avenue.
Bishop Potter suggested that a committee
be appointed to investigate this condition
that is confronting the clergy, and report
a remedy to the gen aral committee of the
convention.
In discussing the subject, Bishop Potter
said:
1.-The stipends of the clergy are at best
meagre, and their achievement Of a decent
and honest maintenance has in 1t often
elements of the heroic Of which I wish l
might speak as I am often moved to do.
"The situation today is wholly COM
mercial and financial. Money. according
to present standards, is decreasing in pur-
chasing power. Financial distress may
temporarily check this tendency, but the
effect in that direction will be only tenn
porary, while the cost of living will not be
likely to be cheaper in the future, but
dearer.
''Those who are able to do so should
take stock in this connection for their less
favorable brothers. Many plans have oe-
Cured to me, but I think 1t best that this
body appoint a committee with power 10
investigate and report some remedy TOT
the growing unfavorable circumstances
which surround the clergy"

NEWARKERS WATCH FOR
CROSSING OF MERCURY.
Those Who Missed the Planet Won't
Get Another Chance to See
Transit for 20 Years.

The school boy and the school girl,
as we'll as a fair %sprinkling of grown
people, were out bright and early on
the streets this morning with colored
glasses trying to get a line on the pass
Ing OF Mercury cro the face of Old
Sol. OF course the actual passing of
Mercury over the occurred when
most persons were enjoying their sec
ond %slumber, but this did not deter the
youngsters from trying to see what
effect the journey had on the sun.
Translts Of Mercury are rare events.
The last one was in 1894, and the next
one will be in 1914. That one will not
be visible in this part of the world,
neither will the following one. in 1924.
The next one. in 1927, however, will be
seen here, SO hat it will be twenty
years before the people of New Jersey
will have another opportunity to see a
transit.
1t will be seen from the above figures
that the intervals of transits are irreg-
ular. The intervals are thirteen. seven.
three, ten, three years. Another fea-
ture about transits of Mercury is that
they always c either in May or Mo-
vember. This is because In those
months the path of Mercury crosses
the suns path and when both the sun
and planet are at the crossing point. or
node, as 1t Is called, there is seen a
transit.

NEW FLYING MACHINE
LAUNCHED BY BELL.
"Signet" Is Constructed to Glide Over
Water or Sail Through Air.
Years in Building.

paddock, N. s., Nov. 14.-After
many years of experimental work h
machine with which Alexander Ora
ham Bell hopes to solve the problem of
navigation was successfully launched
in the presence of a large number of
the intimate friends of the inventor.
The launching look place at Professor
Bells laboratory. Mrs. Bell, in break
ing a bottle of champagne over the
bow of the ship, declared its name to
be the Signet. The great doors of the
workshop were thrown open and the
kite was conveyed to a float upon
which it lowered out on the waters
of Bras Dor Lake.
The ship or kite is in itself a section
of a tetrahedron, thirteen metres long
on top. ten metres along the bottom,
by three deep. 1t is composed of 1888
units or small t~etrahedrons, the faces
of which are covered with silk, this
forming a two-winged cell. These cells
are arranged to give as h result of
many tests, the maximum stability
with the lightest weight. A hole has
been cut through the centre of the
contrivance to furnish accommodation
for the motor md a navigator. The
ship is also provided with a bow for
flying purposes. Three floats are used
as q part of its construction to sup
port 1t while on the lake. A motor
with four cylinders of 2O-horsepoweT
will drive two solid screw propellers on
the same shaft, but in opposite direc-
tions. With the motor in position the
airship weighs 220 pounds.
Professor Bell says he does not claim
of the Signet that he has now solved
the problem for which it was con-
structed. He says the threshold has
been merely reached in the develop
ment of the machine. and the expert
ments now to be taken up will be
mainly productive in the furnishing OF
data for future experiments.

LOCOMOTIVE OUTRUNS
NEW ELECTRIC ENGINE.
Former Makes SO Miles an Hour Record
While the Latter's Best Is But e9.

CLAYTON, Nov. 14.-In a test be-
tween a ponderous steam locomotive
and an electric engine of the
pennsylvania Railroad here the
former proved victor, making al the
rate OF SO 4-10 miles an hour, while the
best the more modern engine could do
was So miles. Electric engine No. 1OOo1,
the lighter of the two machines, was
sent over the seven-mile course at a
rate of stxty-nine miles an hour. A
steam locomotive was then brought to
the starting point and preparations
made to duplicate, if possible, the per-
Torrance Of its rival. At the last mo-
ment, however, the engineman declared
that the locomotive could not equal the
sixty-nine-mile gait.
Doughty, the engineman who has
charge Of the electric locomotives and
drove the one tried out stepped
to the front. He is an old locomotive
engineer.
II am sure the steam locomotive can
make the s%ixty-nine miles, said he,
I'D hke to try it, anyway"
Permission was given to Doughty
who, a few minutes afterward, sent the
locomotive across the starting point al
a fast clip. Several minutes afterward
greatly to the surprise of the experts
the speed indicator in the station spur
round until the needle indicated a sneed
of SO 4-10 miles an hour.

NEED RECRUITS, CASH
FOR MISSIONARY WORK IN
COUNTRIES.
Urges North Jersey Institute-Talks on
Achievements in Foreign
Fields.

The North Jersey Missionary Institute
that has been in session In the North Re-
formed Church since last Monday, ended
its business last night with an illustrated
lecture by C. v. Vickrey. A stereopticon
was used and a great number OF views OF
China, India and Japan were thrown or
the screen during the talk. These three
countries were prominently brought to the
attention of the audience on account OF
the time being limited, and though the
subject was to be a general one 1t was
thought China, Japan and India were the
most important and SO Mr.. Vlckrey con-
fined his talk chiefly to them. The main
purpose of the speaker was to show the
great work accomplished by the mission
aries now in the field and the necessity Of
reinforcements and financial assistance to
extend the work.
The pictures gave every side of the edu-
cational and religious work.
The japanese Views were mostly OF
school work, showing long rows of little
girls sitting at kindergarten tables, and
older girls engaged In sewing and out-of-
door exercises. There was not room enough
In some of the boys schools to take care
of all who wished to study, Mr.. Vickrey
stated. In one picture shown the largest
room in the building was too small to hold
luGm Ill, anu llOy udu W NC AhS0 ~ -
the roof before the whole school could
nave its picture taken.
The reproductions OF two procla1natlons
Issued by the Japanese government were
thrown on the screen. One sent out thirty
years ago made it a capital offense for any
person to have a Bible in his possession;
the second, issued within the last few
years. announced the appropriation by the
government of $1,000 to help the Christian
schools.
In China, the speaker said, condl-
tons were much the same as In India,
the young men refusing remunerahve
work to become ministers. A picture show
ing TN immense statue OF Budda, In one OF
whose hands were standing two mission
aries, was shown.
A this work" said Mr.. Vickrey, has
been lone by only a little handful of men
among a vast number Of heathen II we
are going to ~evangelize the world we must
nave more workers"
Previous to the evening meeting ITO OF
the delegates to the conference dined IN
the church parlors. Several speakers had
been placed on the program, but the Inn
tied time forbade a lengthy talk from any
but Miss Harrietta Holloway, of Plainfeld.
| others who made short addresses were
George f. Sutherland, Of New York; Clar-
enee Titus. of Roselle Park; the Rev.
| Wayne womer. of East Orange, and Miss
May Osborne, Of Newark.
