HOW THEIR MACHINE FLIES
Description of the Wright Brothers
AerOPlane ON Exhibition in
rance.

In order to show the general reader the
way in which the machine operates, let
us fancy ourselves ready for the start.
The machine is placed upon a single rail
track facing the wind, and Is securely
fastened with a cable. The engine is put
in motion and the propellors in the rear
whir. You take your seat at the center Of
tho machine beside the operator. He slips
the cable and you shoot forward. An as.
sistant who has been holding the machine
In balance on the rail starts forward with
YOU, but before you have gone fifty feet
the speed Is too great for him and he let's
20. Before reaching the end of the track
the operator moves the front rudder, and
the machine lifts from the rail like a kite
supported by the pressure of the air under
meath It. The ground under you Is at first
a perfect blur, but as you rise the objects
become clearer. At a height Of 100 feet
you feel hardly any motion at all, ex-
cept for the wind which strikes your
face. II you did not take the precaution
to fasten your hat before starting, you have
probably lost it by this time. The operator
moves a lever, the tight wing rises, and
the machine swings about to the left. You
make a very short turn, yet you do not
feel the sensation Of being thrown from
Your seat 50 olleh experienced IN autOmo-
bile and railway travel. You find yourself
facing toward the point from which you
started.
The objects on the ground now seem to
DO moving at much higher speed, though
you perceive TO change I'm the presence of
the wind on your face, You know then that
you are travelling with the wind. When you
near the starting point, tho operator stops
the motor while still high in the air. The
machine coasts down at an oblique anglo
to the ground. and after sliding fifty or 100
feet comes TO rest. Although the machine
often lands when travelling at a speed Of
a mile a minute. you feel no shock what
ever. and car.not, in fact, tell the exact
moment at which It first touched the
GROUND The motor close beside you kept
up an almost deafening roar during the
whole flight. yet In your excitement you
did not notice it till It stopped-Century

CRAZE FOR OSTRICH PLUMES
New Works. output L. Pronounced
as Good rs That of
Paris. "

at is easy to tell \ good ostrich plume"
said the forewoman in one Of the largest
millinery stores. THE quill should be one
continuous piece, smooth, glossy and pill
able and without defective marks visible to
tho eye.
when buying a black ostrich plume al
ways he careful to select the one with
the finest gloss. Dull blacks and brown
blacks indicate either a poor quality Of
plume or poor dyeinE. If It is the latter
the plume may be rcdipped. but If the
former it is no good except for lining and
poor lining at that.
Never in all my years i'm the business
has there been such a demand for ostrich
feathers as this season, Never before have
the plumcs been SO beautiful or in such
variety.
while ostrich plumas always cost money,
It depends on the buyer whether she makes
an investment that will wear season after
season or throws her money away on a
cheap plume. A good plume properly worn
should last five years at least. This al
lows for one curling a year and onc-pos-
sibly two-dippings II the plume was orig
inally a light color.
"A good black plume that has been
properly recurled will be pretty old and
have seen a lot of wear before it will need
to be redipped. one reason why many
good black plumes lose their color and
gloss is that they are scorched when being
recurled. The only remedy for this is a
bath i'm the dye pot and oftener than not
the result is only a rusty black. II a per-
son hasn't the time or patience to curl
her own plumes she should be particular
to get a skillful repairer.
Like everything else an ostrich plume
can wear out, but often It might be made
TO have a new term OF usefulness by hav-
ing a new top put on it.. BY that | mean
using the old worn plume as a lining and
sewing on the top a fresh flat exactly
matching It i'm color. II the work is care
fully done and the flat or new plume is a
good one it should last at least half as
long as a new plume.
Ostrich feathers have to be carefully
handled from the time they leave the bird.
That is one reason why they are so eX-
pensive.
In the factory and wholesale house
where l am employed the feathers are
received in bales, shipped in the raw state
direct from the ostrich farms. The best
quality is known to the trade as prime
white. This doesn't mean that the plumes
are what is known to the buying world as
white The white ostrich plume Is made,
not grown.
"Of course, the great feather market Of
the world is Paris, and it Is useless to
deny that the same amount Of money will
buy a better ostrich plume there than In
New York. The reason is very simple; not
only is the expense OF shipping the raw
material less, but labor in France is
cheaper. II the duty is paid on the plumes
when they are brought over it will be
found that the plumes imported from Paris
are a little higher priced than those man
ufactured in New York.
The price OF a good willow ranges from
SO TO So. AS the tying OF the feathers re-
quires skilled hand work and the best ma
terisl, there is good reason for the price.

Eastern Pennsylvania Suffering for

danger from Forest
Fires.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. g--Practically
the entire state Of Pennsylvania east of
the Allegheny mountains is suffering from
one Of the worst drouths in years. In some
parts OF the state no rain has fallen IN
more than two months and rivers and
streams are 80 low that many industries
have been interfered with and in some in
stances plants nave been shut down for
the lack Of water. Forest fires are burn
ing in several sections and some localities
report that crops will be entirely ruined un
less rain comes soon.
At Shenandoah. In the anthracite coal
regions, the water supply Is 80 low that
farmers are brir ging water to the residents
IN the town instead OF vegetables. as there
Is more profit IN hauling water than ped
6lit z produce. Water sells at 9 cents a
gallon and many are compelled to walk
three and four miles TO get a supply even
at that price. Several coal mines in that
region have been closed because Of lack
OF water to run the power plants.
River Lowest for Century.
At Duncannon, near Harrisburg, the Sus-
quehanna river Is lower than It has been
IN more than 100 years. In September,
1874. the river was lower than It had been
since 1903, and a store in the susuuehanna
opposite D"uncannOn, was marked and
dated. Yesterday the stone showed that
the river is now ten inches below the mark
placed there in 1874.
In Philadelphia the Schuylkill is lower
than II has been At any time since 1860 and
canal boats are stranded at different poirts
in the river between here and the coal
region.
Forest fires which nave spread from the
railroad tracks TO the timber lands are
causing much excitement and considerable
apprehension about Tobyhanna and other
places on the Pocono mountains at the
western edge OF the state. A careful esti-
mate places the area already covered by
the flames as 10000 acres. The fire in some
places has reached a height Of forty feet
and the loss thus far sustained by various
property owners Is great.
There are fires of large proportions at
Crosco, Moscow. Gouldsboro, and near To-
byhsrna, and an almost perfect string OF
fires along what Is known as Trout creek.
In much OF the region swept there Is no
valuable timber, but there are some areas
where a considerable number of good trees
have been damaged.

It's a waste Of energy too great for this

his hold on the public. lie has, and the
fact is enough for present purposes. lie
was in Omaha last night. for one consecu-
tive performance at the Boyd theater-and
at that no didn't get all the money in town
-snd the house was filled to running over
with his admirers. 1t was an Olcott audi
ehce. ready to applaud his Hghtest word,
to rapturously harken unto his sweet voice
es II q~uivered with the sentiment of the
Irish ballads no one else sings as he sings,
sn6 to shake with merriment at his quips
or sit In silence as he made earnest love
CT expressed his contempt for the foster
brother who had wronged him of his birth
right. 1t was no triumph for Chauncey to
sway that audience; It went there to be
swayed, and from the first glimpse IL
caught of him, lying asleep under the lilac
bushes in Farmer Grattan's yard until We
says good night to all standing ichabili-
tated-as the heir to his fathers name and
title and fortune, and united with the girl
OF his dreams, the pleasure of tho audience
was continually finding expression in rip
pies Of applause that now and then broke
in waves of sound thai must have pleased
even the man so used to 1t.
Before such popularity the critic lowers
his shield, and the effort at review drops
way to simply record the fact that Mr..
Olcott presented his newest drama, Ragged
Robin" before an audience that was large
and warmly enthusiastic, and that It met
with such appreciation as must denote sue
cess. The play is beautifully staged. the
effect of the first scene being remarkably
beautiful. while all through it the part Of
the fairies in the story is presented most
artistically. Mr.. Olcott sings a number Of
new songs to the intense delight of his ad-
mlrers.
Mr.. Olcott took occasion during a curtain
speech to make some ungracious remarks
concerning the equipment OF the theater.
lnasmuch as none in the audience COM
planned of the manner in which the show
was given, it seemed a little out Of the way
for the star to allude to the defects in it's
presentation. AS the Boyd theater has
been lately rewired and is fitted with only
the most modern of electric appliances. the
allusion to its lack Of facilities must have
struck some of those who know what a
DINNER really is as being almost funny.
