our Wright and his brother, Orville,
will be presented with gold medals
worth $1,000 each, given by the Aero
Club of America,
1t should be stated that Wilbur
Wright's record which closed his con-
.ract for the sale of his patents of his
leroplane in France for 100000 was
sufficient to fulfill, as to time of fight,
with passenger, the requirement of
he United States signal service corps,
which his brother Orville had been
.rying to meet at Fort Myer, Va. The
United States war department wants
an aeroplane which can carry two per-
sons for an hour in still atmosphere
at speed of 40 miles an hour The
requirement of the United States serv.
Ice is open to all competitors, and
orville Wright had been endeavoring
70 meet them on this side, as his
brother had been endeavoring to meet
the demands of his French contract.
Orville Wright hoped to meet the
requirements here on September IT,
when he took Lieut.. Selfridge in a
flight with him. An accident to the
propeller sent the machine shooting
to the earth and resulted in the death
of the army officer and the serious
Injury of the inventor.
The Aero Club of France gave VIII
bur Wright the Michelin trophy on his
flight of September "a, but he himself
has beaten that record all to smash
IN several occasions since then. On
December IS he beat all records in
aviation. In the morning he made a
sensational fight, remaining aloft in
his aeroplane nearly two hours, and
travelling about 70 miles. In the after
noon, the "bird man." as the French
have come to call him, rose to and
maintained height of 800 feet.

The theoretical explanation OF the
phenomenon Is easily understood. The
secondary and tertiary geological for
nations often present the appearance
of immense basins, the boundary or
rim of the basin having teen formed
by an upheaval of adjacent strata. In
these formations 1t often happens that
porous stratum, consisting of sand
sandstone, chalk or other calcareous
matter, is included between two imper-
meable layers of clay so as to form
fiat porous U tube, continuous from
side to side Of the valley, the outcrop
on the surrounding hills forming the
mouth Of the tube The rain altering
down through the porous layer to the
bottom Of the basin forms there a sub
terranean pool, which, with the liquid
or semiliquid column pressing upon II.
constitutes a sort of huge natural n.y.
drostatic bellows. Sometimes the pres
sure on the superintendent crust Is so
great as to cause an upheaval or dis
turbance Of the valley. 1t is obvious,
then, that when hole is bored down

Papa Bathing the BABY.

Many fathers stand aloof from the
common domestic duties, not because
they are so busy or because they are
not willing, but because Of ignorance.

Yet In reality 1t is much simpler than
1t seems. Fill the bathtub full of anv

pins with gas nippers and unroll until
the baby looms into sight.

The Cooks the Thing.

From the Providence Journal.
1t is quite possible that the position of
the chef who cooks for Francis Wilson
is fully as important as the negress who
is the present incumbent thinks it is.
In court the other day, when she was
asked if her employer was d comedian,
she loftily answered: He shO' is. Don t
l cook for him.
Are you responsible for his humor?''
asked the judge.
Yes. sah.' she answered with decision
Very likely she is largely right in her
of the responsibilities of her profession.
knowing that it can produce either joy
and the spirit of comedy or the gloom Of
tragic woe in the consumer. There can
be 10 doubt that this capable colored
lady has been the power behind the
come dian-the invisible muse that has
aroused many audiences to mirth. OF
course Mr.. Wilson is blessed with a comic
face, pair of queer legs and funny
squeak in his voice. and it could not be
claimed that any of these things are de-
pendent upon his diet. but he has to ha -e
the right spirit behind them in order to
make them effective: and good cooking
does lot toward making the right spirit
Eating has much to do with making per-
sons what they are. Feed man well and
you naturally find him comfortable and
merry. If there is any comedy in him it
is bound to bubble up. Give him poor food
and he will become morose and his mental
trend will get pessimistic. Carry the treat
ment far enough or give him touch Of
sem1-starvation and he will begin to
heave long signs of woe, and likely as not
he will take to writing poetry. Mr.. w.

he states that the sensational stories sent

Wheeler stated that no report had been

however, the stories grew out of the fact
that Prof. jerks was in San Francisco
on other business, and his presence was
construed as due to immigration frauds.
He further stated that there is a branch

Red Coat Fox Hunters.

The breakfast room at IT, Imperial
Hotel this morning was filled with live
ly and noisy crowd of gentlemen of all
ages wearing red coats, waistcoasts of
startling pattern. jockey caps, leather
leggins and heavy brogans. / was told
that they represented the nobility of Cork
county and mad gathered to ,unt otter
along the River Lee and the creeks that
feed it west of the city. There was one
woman in the party. who wore short
skirt of gray tweed. d red jacket,
jockey cap and high boots. In the stable
yard was a pack of hounds, in leash.
which had been brought in from the
country. The Marquis of Conyngham
was master of the hunt.
Otter hunting in the summer along the
swampy, muddy banks of the creeks of
Ireland takes the place Of OK bunting
in the winter The elusive otter is tracked
to his hole by the hounds and is then
stirred out by gallant gentlemen with
pkes-long poles shod with iron tips
after they have chased him through the
mud. They keep the skins for robes,
stuff the heads for ornaments and mount
the tails for brushes.
These hunts take place at least twice a
week during the summer season and are
sometimes attended by forty or fifty
noblemen and gentry.
