TAFT 70 TALK AT MACHINE.

HOT SPRINGS, Va. Aug. 70
Judge Taft, in his capacity as presi-
Dental candidate, has consented to
make several short speeches into
talking machines for reproduction.
As the process of making a phono-
graph record is somewhat different
from the back of car platform, OF
from front porch. Mr.. TAFT today
found Mrs. Taft laughing at him as
he was doing a bit of rehearsing for
the real records. Several expert
mental talks were made and re-
produced with varying degrees of
satisfaction. The speeches which a
single record will hold average about
800 words in length. The topics to
be discussed have not been decided
upon. As a sample of what the ma
chine can do, the candidate was
treated to the reproduction of a
record made by w. J. Bryan.
Mr.. Taft today fixed August p as
the date for the rally of Virginia Re
publicans here, and he will make a
political address from the porch of

first shipment of oranges comprised
full train and the fruit found a
ready market. A second train of %
cars brought more than the market
price. Iowans this year increased
their consumption of oranges by 10
per cent over any year preceding.
The people were satisfied with the
fruit. the Union Pacific was satisfied
with its returns from the freight
charges, and the growers were well
pleased with the prices which the
fruit brought. All three got their
moneys worth and the railroad and
the association have their principal
expended in advertising back in their
pockets and along with it the reward
of enterprise.
But the profit is not all accounted
for yet. Interest on the original ad-
yertising outlay will be collected by
the railroad and the fruit growers
for years to come.
Does advertising pay? No practi-
cal, man of affairs presumes any
longer even to consider the question
one OF debatable nature.

AIRsHIPs WILL BE USED IN WAR
Prediction Made by Colonel James
Templer of the British Army
Balloon Corps the Thing.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-That
airships will play an important part
in the next war between world pow
ers. that the civil war would have
lasted but nine minths if either army
had had a balloon corps like that now
at Fort Myer, Va, and that the
United States government should Sc
cure the services of the Wright broth
ers and Thomas S. Baldwin, were the
opinions expressed by Colonel James
Templer, until recently in command
of the aeronautical division of the
British army, after visit today to
Fort Myer. where he inspected the
Baldwin airship. He left for Chat
tanooga, Tenn, on tour of the pfin-
cipal battle grounds of the civil war
to learn what could have been accom-
plished had balloon corps been
available at the time of those battles.
In South Africa the British army
used 20 or more balloons to excellent
advantage ne said. In the San
tiago campaign, during the Spanish
American war, the balloon used by
the American army was of immense
value.
! bflOIt itdNilS lllS tftn-
ing, sent a report to his government
on the Baldwin airship. As TO that
aeronaut's exploits at Fort Meyer,
Colonel Templer said:
Mr.. Baldwin's dirigible balloon Is
an excellent craft We are building
one in England just like it; the same
size, but not quite the same shaped
gas envelope
According TO Colonel Templer the
British army has a number of dirigi-
bles and aeroplanes about which
nothing is generally known. The
aeronautical department of the Eng
lish army consists of three balloon
troops, having a peace strength of
$50 men. and the last annual appro-
priation for aeronautics was about
5000, 900.
The Farman aeroplane was offered
10 the signal corps today, but the Of
fer was refused 10 General Allen,
chief signal officer.
Israel Ludlow called me up this
morning" said General Allen, land
offered us Marman's machine: but We
have no funds to buy it, We have
$4,000 tied up in tie two aero
planes contracted for with the Wright
Bros. and S. A. Morning. Beside, the
Earman machine would not fulfill the
contract requirements which it will be
necessary for the contractors to do ;"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Of

of spectators, including Secretary of
War Wright and James Allen, chief

win flights are becoming such an ev-
cry day occurrence that many of the
army officers who have been in at
tendance heretofore were not present
today.
Greater interest seems to center in
the aeroplanes TO be tried at Fort
Myer by the Wright brothers and A.
NJ Herring.
The latter has requested an extern
sion of 80 days in the time he is TO
deliver his machine, which will be
granted The Wright aeroplane is
expected any day.
Before taking his dirigible up to-
day, Capt Baldwin had Mr.. Curtiss
make a thorough test of the motor.
A speed of AIS revolutions per min
ute of the propeller was attained
while the airship was In its place

not permit the speed to exceed 400
revolutions while in the air.
The airship remained aloft % min

miles was covered. A side wind was
encountered throughout the fight
and several times Captain Baldwin
had 10 tack much the same as the
master of a ship. An altitude of
nearly 600 feet was attained.
Secretary Wright expressed his
pleasure at the showing made in to-
days fight, but said: While these
airships will be invaluable in time OF
war for scouting purposes, they will
never revolutionize warfare.
