Menace Of the Flying Machine.

menace OF the FIyIn9 Macnlnes
What Emperor William calls ''the
beginning of new national era"
seems to be dawning for more than
one nation as one reads the daily re-
ports of successful experiments with
flying machines and dirigible balloons.
We demand now with our mornings
breakfast at least column Of news
about the fights of airships, and we
usually get it. There is a new kind Of
international race going on-a race
for the perfect airship, and the first
prize in that race is no beautiful
gawd or empty honor; it is the extern
sion Of national power and the posi-
BILE supremacy over other nations. At
least it is evident that that view Is
held by many in Great Britain and
Germany, and a positive nervousness
is becoming evident over the military
possibilities of the aeroplanes and
dirigibles each is exploiting. Gen.
Baden-Powell calls upon Great Britain
to arouse herself to the new situation
that is impending. I'm a very few
years." he remarks, ominously, 1--WE
shall see these powerful machines in
the air under perfect control and in
practical operation. Then every gov
eminent will obtain them and the ma
vies will be virtually useless as first
line of defense. Current Literature.

BENTLEY IS WINNER
osKALoosA BOY FIRST AMONG
SEVERAL HUNDRED IN Bos-
TON SOCIETY OF ARCHIE
TEcTs = WILL GO TO
PARIS.

Boston, March 30.--Harry l.. Bent
ley, OF Oskaloosa, Iowa, receives first
mention in the competition of the Bos.
ton Society of Architects in which
several hundred students from all
parts OF the country contested. The
competition consisted in solving prob
lens in architecture and the work of
the contestants must be of the high
est grade OF excellence to be permit
red to enter in the final contest.
In the competition just closed the
subject was given by Prof. Desire
Despardelle Rotch, professor OF Archi-
lecture OF the Boston Institute OF
Technology. The work called for
was the designing of bay window
for a city residence. The designs ac-
cepted for submission were judged by
committee of some OF the most emf
nent architects of the country.
The competition in which the
young man was entered is that of the
American Society of Beaux Arts, a
technical school of Paris, said to be
the best institution of its kind in the
world. The prize or scholarship
which Is given annually is years
study at the Beaux Arts in Paris with
all expenses of the institution paid,
and one thousand dollars in cash.
Harry L. Bentley is son of n. j..
Bentley of the Green & Bentley drug
house of this city. He is a young
man, 20 years OF age. Upon eomplet-
ing his work in the local schools,
where he was known as bright and
hard-workiig student, he entered work
at Penn college and completed the
Sophomore year. Here his work was
marked by a faithfulness to detail
and the evidences of an earnestness
that attracted the attention of the
class leaders. He went to Boston the
following fall to enter the Massachu-
sets School OF Technology for the
study of architecture. and he COM
pletes the prescribed course of -four
years work this spring, earning the
diploma of the Institute.
During the course OF his work at
the school the young man has distin.
guished himself not alone by the SUI
periority of his work and by the
amount and the difficulty OF his un.
dertakings, but he has been success
full in winning numerous competitions
and prizes and during the past couple
OF years has been awarded scholar.
ships amounting to several hundred
dollars in addition to special honors
and privileges.
The young man in his last accom-
plishment. the winning of the Beahx
Arts prize, has already won distinc-
tion in the field of architectpse. The
fact that ones work is permitted to
enter thsfeompetition is taken as an
honor 81 no slight degree, and the win
ming Of the prize is the goal of the
ambition OF student architects. Hun
dreds of architects aspire to the place
every year and the one who wins II
has a much envied stamp OF approval
and success written for future effort.
Mr.. Bentley has been engaged in
work in the East during his summer
vacations and had intended entering
a large Office this summer. A letter
