P. Wilson was on the witness stand
and gave his direct testimony.
He said that Thaw had called him
to the Jail three times and each visit
occupied about an hour.
AS a result of those calls DR.. VIII

to testify as an expert as to Thaw's
mental condition. After DR.. Wilson
had given his testimony, which was
very brief, Attorney Charles Mors-

BAL OWN MAKES
TWO GOOD FLIGHTS
Second Requirement of Gov
eminent for Dirigible
Has Been Met.
AIRSHIP is MASTERED.
GOOD TIME MADE ON BOTH VOY-
AGES-FURTHER TESTS ARE
PLANNED FOR TODAY SHIP
MAY BE ACCEPTED.

Washington. Aug. 15.-Capt Bald
win yesterday fulfilled the second re-
quirement for the acceptance of his
military dirigible balloon by making
two successful speed trials at FIT. Mey-
err A week ago the airship was accept
ed so far as construction is concerned
and today it is expected that the en-
durance trial will be made. Capt.
Baldwin is allowed three flights to full
fill the endurance specification.
Taking advantage of the most ideal
weather conditions he has yet had
Capt Baldwin was ready to make the
speed trial at 6: 80 last evening and at
6:33 his dirigible shot across the start
ing line headed in a northerly direc-
ton.
On the home stretch the airship
pulled evenly and at a greater rate of
speed than it had ever attained before
crossed the finishing line at GAS, fiji
teen minutes after starting.
Deducting the time required for
turning, it is expected tht the average
speed for the flight will be found to be
1919 miles.
After replenishing the supply of gas
oline Capt. Baldwin announced that
he would make another official speed
trial, the last opportunity he would
have to get bonus on his contract
price of $6,7o0.
At 40 the airship crossed the start
ing line the second time at a higher
rate of speed than on the previous
trip.
The same course was followed, the
wind striking the balloon at a slight
angle. On this flight however, Capt
Baldwin steered a little closer to the
wind.
The airship turned for the return
trip at II, having made the two and
one sixteenth miles in seven minutes.
The trip back to FIT. Meyer was made
in less than seven minutes, although
the ship was travelling against the
wind.
1t is believed that the official timers
will figure Capt. Baldwins average
time for the last test at nineteen miles
an hour.

SHOOTING THE SUN.
Simplest Way of Locating a Ships
Position at Ssa.

The average transatlantic traveller

making observations, says q writer in
Travel Magazine. Very few have any
idea of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac
curately place the ships position at
a stated time on the chart. Out of
sight of land a ships geographical pc
sition is determined either by keeping
a careful record of the course steered
and the distance run. known as dead
reckoning, or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant-that is, by
observation of the heavenly bodies,
The operation of finding the latitude
and longitude of observation can be
performed in a number of ways, of
which the simplest and most conven.
lent is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horizon at noon, as is
indicated on the vernier of the sextant
and spoken of at sea as shooting the
SUM-" An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms Is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south of the equa-
tor. or. in other words. the latitude.
Finding the longitude, however, is a
somewhat longer process. An observa-
ton is made either in the forenoon or
afternoon. the chronometer time of the

ing noted. A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to be, and, as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich. the prime
meridian Of longitude, the difference
between the two expresses in hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and niles the distance east
or west of Greenwich.
Having thus, roughly speaking, found
the latitude and longitude, a dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude

"A WALPOLE ANECDOTE.
To Save tho Woman's Life She
Couldn't Recall Who Told 1t.

II heard very funny story the other
night about Horace Walpole," said
Mrs. Blake. II wish 1 could remember
who told it. Henry, can you remem-
Der? Was it Mr.. Sellers?''
NO." said Blake stiff1y; sit wasn't
Sellers"
II wonder if it could have been Mr..
Windsor"
NO." repeated Blake; at wasn't
Windsor"
Before Mr. Blake had a chance to ex-
press an affirmative or negative opin-
ion of that hazard as to the source of
the Walpole anecdote Mr.. Barton came
in. Mrs. Blake, being by that time
sure Of herself, tried on him her rec
ipe for winning universal affection.
ooh, Mr.. Barton" she said, 81 am
very glad to see you. I have hardly
stopped laughing since saw you the
last time"
Mr.. Barton, a cadaverous man with
solemn eyes, looked rather foolish.
"Indeed?" he said. MAY ask what
about?"
"Over that funny story you told
about Horace Walpole," said Mrs.
Blake.
"M-m-m-Horace walpoleT' STAN
mered Mr.. Barton. 81 am afraid you
must have got me mixed up with some
body else. 1 don't know the first thing
about Horace Walpole, and if 1 did

is beyond my powers. Even if it was
funny to start with it wouldn't be by
the time I got through with it,
Mrs. Blake's spirits were somewhat
dashed by her fiasco in finding an
owner for the Walpole story, but she
bore up courageously, and later when
Mr.. Markham came in she drew him
out of earshot of Mr.. Barton and dilat
ed on the pleasure his story Of Horace
Walpole had given her. Mr. Markham
was not cast in the funeral mold that
gave to Mr.. Barton his grave aspect
but he protested himself totally inca
pable of telling a funny story about
Horace Walpole or anything else.
Presently Mrs. Blake left the room
to prepare the sandwiches. Mr.. Blake
followed her.
For the love of the Lord" he said

A Story Which Did Not Fit This Par

A Story Which Did Not Fit This Par
ticular Minister'S Case.
North Carolina probably never pro-
duced an ADLER preacher than DR..
Francis L. Hawkes., who once was
pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New
York. Short, thick set, swarthy, black
eyed and black haired, he was a strik-
ing parsonage. He was not only a
great pulpit orator, but considered the
best reader in the New York episco-
pacy. His rather luxurious family de-
tered him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
rendered. One day a delegation from Il
Buffalo church waited upon him and
invited him to accept a pastorate in
that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory, the question of accept
ter" said DR.. Hawkes.. what salary
do you offer?"
"Dr. Hawkes." said the spokesman,
I'VE recognize that you have a high
reputation and are willing to be lib
eral. Our recent pastor received ST.
500, but on account Of your standing
we have decided to offer you $500"
MY good man." cried the doctor,
"do you know what salary am receiv-
ing here"
mo, sir"

and. as I have an expensive family, I
do not see my way clear to accept your
offer"
The spokesman looked rather sheep
fish, but made another essay.
eff we had known that, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where, but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done,
and, as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravens"
"Now, my friends" responded the
clergyman quizzically, IT have made
the Bible my study ever since I was
twenty-eight. l have read it through
carefully and prayerfully over 100
times. I remember the raven Incl
dent perfectly, but nowhere can I find
any reference to the Lords providing

A CHEMICAL FURY.
Fluorins Is Rabid Gas That Nothing
Can Resist

The fury Of the chemical world is
the element fluorine. although, strange
ly enough, it exists peacefully in COM
pany with calcium in fuorspar and
also in few other compounds.
Although this element was known
and named a good while ago, it long
resisted the efforts of chemists to iso-
late it-that is, prepare it in pure
state, unmixed chemically with other
substances-for the instant the COM
pound containing it was torn apart
the free fluorine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing it. 1t was finally
isolated by the great French chemist
Moissan.
Fluorine is rabid gas that nothing

BLUE HILL GRADE
BEING CUT DOWN
Improvement Has Long Been
Needed by Pennsy.

The Pennsylvania has large force
of men at work cutting down the
grade and laying additional track over
Blue Hill just east of the city, and
near the junction. 1t is expected that
the work will be almost completed by
the middle of September.
The railroad has been preparing to
make this much nueeded improvement
for some time. Trains now have to
go at the rate of forty miles or more
an hour to get up the grade, especially
the freight trains.
