SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

VALLEJO, Sept. 23.-The George H.
Tay company of San Francisco has
begun suit against Mayor Madigan. the
board OF public works and the board
of city trustees for the balance due
them on their contract for the Uni
versal pipe supplied the city water
works in 1906 Thesamount is $I9,570
and the company claims z per cent in
terest. compounded annually, from June
1. 1906, TO date, together with cost of
suit
The city's defense lies principally In
the fact that the pipe was lighter In
weight than the specifications called
for. the deficiency being practically the
amount Of the bill the company claims
is due them.
II is more than likely that the city
officials will have another suit on their
hands. S IL has taken formal possession
of Lake Chabot, pumping water into
the city reservoir and mains without
first coming to an understanding with
the Chabot water company as to the
emoluments TO be obtained therefrom

Flying by Machinery.

Flying by machinery, like musical
notation and many another epoch max
ing circumstance, owes Its inception
to the cloister and the cowl. The prin-
ciple and idea of the balloon was first
formed by Albert Of Saxony. an Au-
Rustine recluse Of the fourteenth CEN
fury. Then the theory Of construction
was taken up and enlarged upon by
Francesca Mendoza, Portuguese
Jesuit, who died In 1929, And. lastly.
Bartholomew de Guzmao. formerly a
candidate for the priesthood. demon
strated the possibility OF flying by
alrships and foretold great successes
for the future. Toward the end Of the
eighteenth century two men named
Charles and Roberts made a balloon
with the longest side parallel to the
horizon. Their wings were OF the
shape Of an umbrella without the han
die, 10 the top Of which a stick was
fastened parallel to the aperture of the
umbrella Five OF these were disposed
round the car, On finding themselves
In dead calm they tried the effect
Of their oars and discovered that In
hirty.five minutes they had covered
1900 feet, Balloons were first used
IN war as long ago as 1894. when Guy
ton de Morveau made two ascents and
obtained important information during
the battle OF Fleurus. Their next APP
pearance was during the battle OF
sOlferino in 1859. and two years later
the Federal army employed them near
