HOW TO eRoIL A STEAK.
Rules That Must Be Observed to At
tain Success.

To broil steak properly is one OF
the most important undertakings in
cookery. Many cooks send it to table
turned on the outside while the in
terror is raw, while others cook il
into dry tastelessness.
There are several rules to be OBJ.
served if the steak is to be a sue
cess. The fire should be clear and
free from smoke, the gridiron should
be scrupulously clean. well heated
and creased before the meat is
put on.
If the fire is too hot the meat will
be hardened and scorched; If not hot
enough the juice will escape and the
steak will be "flabby."
The gridiron should be held slop-
ingly over the fire so that the fat
may run off to the back of the crate.
If it drops on the coal a blaze will
result which will blacken the meat
and cause it to have smoky flavor.
If, however, by chance, blaze
should happen during the time the
steak is broiling the gridiron must be
caught and held away from the fire
until the flame is gone. A little salt
thrown on the fire will prevent this.
Should the fire be too brisk raise
the gridiron on two bricks, one on
each side of the opening.
Steaks should be turned often in
order that they may be done in every
part. The fork used for this pur-
pose should never be stuck in the lean
of the beef, as it causes the gravy to
escape; it must be put in the outer
skin or fat.

aeroplane is not like a parachute.
If anything happened to disturb its
equilibrium it would shoot to the
ground like flash.
But the flying machine has come
to stay. 1t is at the present moment
in much the same stage as the au-
tomobile was % years ago. The first
thing to do is to get the ideal
motor. The one / use is So

a horsepower for every two pounds.

This will, hope, allow of my putting

heating of the motor"

ments with the aeroplane. Henry

as pointing the way to a means of
navigation that has ever proved a
stumbling block to mankind.
Farman has always been conspicu-
ously successful in everything he un-
dertook. and his has been an active
life. Some 16 years ago. when the BIZ
cycle craze was at its height in Eu-
rope. Farman was one of the cham

his brother Maurice. never having
been beaten on a tandem.
With the advent of the automobile.
he naturally drifted into the game.
and was one of the most fearless
chauffeurs in a land that has turned
out plenty of talent in that class. His
energies were by no means monop-
olized by racing. for he embarked in
the manufacture of automobiles, at
the present time being head of one of
the large-t motor car concerns in Eu-
rope.
Inspired by the success of NJ. San
tos-Dupont, Mr.. Farman took up the
problem of aerial navigation with his
customary enthusiasm and thorough
ness. winning merited success.
From boyhood. Farman has ex-
hibited fondness for risking his
neck, having experienced some bad
falls when racing with bicycle and
automobile. Nevertheless. he leaves
nothing undone to put any machine

tion, and declares that he is the soul
of prudence.

New Episcopal Church Will Follow

New York.-New York's new st.
Thomas Episcopal church at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-third street will

that 100000 ought to build house
of worship sufficient to all demands.
But it was found that the church de-
