world. Many Americans go to Europe
to gaze on mountain scenery from be-
low, apparently unaware that they
may take short railroad trip from
Denver TO an altitude of more than
1900 feet, nearly three miles above
sea level, ascending in three hours
from the pleasant summer warmth of
Il metropolitan city to the region of
perpetual snow, from which point of
vantage they may behold no less than
1S2 individual peaks of the Rocky
mountain ranges.

recalled Webster Davis, formerly may
or of Kansas City, who had been an
assistant secretary of the interior un-
der a Republican administration, re-

Democracy during that convention. In
his renoIncing and embracing speech
he led up most cloquently to an apothe-

The moment was intense. Davis end
ed this way:
THAT matchlesS orator. that peerless
Democrat, that Incompatible tribune
Of the people, William j. Brennings!"
You might call that an anticlimax.
At any rate, Davis made great hit

COWBOY TO RICHES
ED. L. DOHENEY OF TEXAS HAS
MADE RAPID ADVANCE.
Painsman AccumuIates Millions by

Denison, Tex.-Thirty-five years ago
Ed. l.. Doheney rode out of Texas on
the back of paint pony, driving a
herd of cattle toward Wichita, Kan.
He was employed by the firm of Lee

At the same time he made things SO

the two became business associates.

when in flight. Also the side pro-
pellers have a steadylng effect-baset
on the mechanical principle of the
gyro wheel
The boat can be made to rise by
letting out water ballast for hull and
bag weigh less than the air displaced.
The ship can be brought back to the
water by letting out some of the by
drogen gas in the bag.
The upper part or egg shaped
aluminium balloon according to the
details of construction, contains hydro
gen gas of lifting power 10 per cent.
greater than is required to raise the
weight of the boat. The balloon Is put
into the aluminium frame through
manholes while in state OF collapse.
When the gas has been pumped In the
apertures the aluminium covers are
sealed so that no gas can escape.
Below the aluminium body Is the
hull which contains cabin. engine
room, two apartments for kerosene,
two for water ballast, and 10000 cubic
feet of illuminating gas. AS this IL
Illuminating gas also has great lifting
power, the work of the hydrogen bag
is made easier. In order not to make
the boat too light, the water ballast Is
carried in sufficient quantity to Offset
the lifting power of the Illuminating
gas AS the gas is used up, the water
ballast Is allowed to run out.
The kerosene Is kept on hand In
h.N oh

of the boat is made watertight and
seaworthy, its supporting power be-
ing FIVE times the weight Of the bag,
cabin, engines, ballast, and other
parts.
Directly over the side propellers
and attached to the aluminium egg. are
wide wings, sloping as those of bird.
This the inventor contends, If the
hydrogen gas should escape, would
serve as a parachute, and prevent the
boat from falling with dangerous We
locity.
The inventor claims the following
special advantages for the Bliven air
ship:
1t can be driven over the surface
of the water for days at time, and
then be made to rise by letting out
the water ballast.
The form of the ship Is such that 1t
can be driven through the air with the
maximum amount of speed attainable
by It's engines.
Ly the arrangement of its screws 1t
can be handled in air as readily as
modern steam yacht on the water
1t can take flights of many days,
owing to its space for crew, provi-
sions, etc.
1t can be constructed In any size
up to 900 feet in length, having
carrying capacity ranging from 500 to
100000 pounds, independent of its
weight which means that Its passen-
ger capacity may be from three to
300 men.
| AS an engine of war 1t would be ter
ribly effective. and for meteorological
and geographical observations 1t
would be Invaluable.
The inventor has proved all his
ideas, he says, on model airship five
feet long. He has obtained patents
in the United States, Canada, Great
Britain, France. and Italy, SO far. and
he has made acquisitions for patents
in other lands.

ELECTION Of TAFT
MEANS JAP PEACE
Minister of War Terauchi, of
Japan, Gives Out Significant
Interview
ISLAND EMPIRE WANTS PEACE
Terauchi Declares His Nation is Seek
ing Peace With Every Nation
Election of Taft Would Mean Contin-
uance of Present Friendly Relations
With United States.

Toxic, July 29.-In an interview
granted the Associated Press, General
Viscount Terauchi, minister of war
and acting minister of foreign affairs,
today expressed himself as having the
keenest desire for the maintenance of
peace and the continuance Of the
friendliest relations between Japan and
all powers.
Teruchi said the entire Japanese ma
tion himself included, regarded Amer
lea as real friend that in event of
the election of Taft to the presidency,
these bonds of friendship would be
drawn closer. He believed 1t would
result because, after three lengthy
interviews with Taft at the time of the
latter's visit to Japan, he felt they
reached, in the course of their talks,
a mutual understanding of the pur-
poses and attitudes of both countries
that would make to that end.
Terauchi intimated that the future
policy of Japan would not tend toward
military expansion, but on the, con-
trary would see the entire energy of
the country devoted in the direction
of productive instead Of unproductive
expenditures.

where he had found It necessary some

some cases against the workingmen, he
