Heat Doesn't Bother Him.

1t is astonishing how many people
have no real conception of heat and
cold; that is, they are put to no per-
sonal inconvenience by either extreme
and regulate their wardrobe by rule
and season, rather than by weather
changes. One man in a downtown
office, during the hot spell last week,
wore the full regalia of heavy suit,
vest, collar and tie. In the few cooler
days following he wore a thin summer
suit and silk negligee shirt. His
partner, noticing these unusual
weather signs, finally questioned him
about 1t.
"Well," he said, "to be candid, 1
really don't feel the heat, and unless
l look at the thermometer or ask my
wife what she thinks of the weather,

the use of parafine for candles 2,000,-
900 blocks Of ~parafflne are sold every

crackers from the effect of damp
weather and moist climates. 1t is
even said that a cargo of biscuit SO
preserved has been taken unframed
from a sunken vessel. Paraffine was
applied to Cleopatra's needle in Cen

made into colored crayons, which will

to account in the sealing of canned

PREDICTS AN AIRsHIP TRIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
MIR. Walter Wellman Says Count Zeppeins Achievement Gives Promise
of Great Things in Aerial Navigation and Warfare.

New York City.-Mr. Walter Well
man writes as follows regarding the
achievement of Count Zeppelin in his
airship:
Count Zeppelin's record breaking
voyage with his great airship sur
prises no one familiar with the pres
ent state of the science of aerial navi-
cation. That a modern motor balloon
can be depended upon to make voy-
ages of from n to two thousand
miles, under fairly favorable condi-
tions, has long been known to men
who are familiar with a~eronautics.
Count Zeppelin's success is epoch
making in that it convinces a scep-
tical world of the practicability of air.
ships and of their utility as engines
of war and as instruments of eX-
ploration of the upper air as well as
parts of the earth otherwise inacces-
Sible, like the great unknown area
surrounding the North Pole.
His latest demonstration without
doubt will assure the rapid building
of aerial navies by the chief military
Powers. In fact, Germany, France,
Great Britain and the United States
are already moving in that direction.
France has the Lebandy and La Re-
publique already in commission, and
Count Zeppelin's ship, 1t is under
stood, Is to be taken over for the
German army.
The modern afrship or motor bal
loon will prove to be an effective en-

ton, but she can make attacks upon
strategic points, such as cities, bridges
and forts and the camps of hostile
armies by dropping explosives down
upon them.

This phase of the aerial warfare of
the future has been declared imprac-
ticable by some critics because the
dropping of a thousand pounds of ex-
plosive from a ship of the air would
instantly her to shoot up to a
great altitude. The critics who think
this is a fatal objection are not famil-
lar with the art of airship construc-
ton and operation. Dropping one
thousand pounds of ballast or weight
of any sort from a small balloon
dirigible like the one Captain Bald
win has built for the United States
Government would, of course, be
either impracticable (because the ship
could not carry so much) or danger
u if she could carry it. But that
weight suddenly released is a baga-

FINE RECORD FOR BRTTLESHlPS
American Commander, Admiral Spcr.
ry, Says Meeting of Atlantic and
British Fleets Makes For the
Maintenance of Peace.

Auckland, New zealand.-Cloudy
weather greeted the landing of Ad-
miral Sperry, Commander-in-Chief Of
the United States Atlantic feet, and
his officers to receive official welcome
to A~ustralasian waters at the hands Of
Sir Joseph George Ward on behalf Of
the Government.
Battered by Pacific gales, washed
by seas that swept the decks and
shook the great masses of steel like
chips on a pond, the battleships
looked as fresh and clean as though
they had just completed a cruise
around the harbor, instead of a cruel
ling grind of 1850 miles through the
wastes of the Pacific.
Never has such a record been made
by a modern navy. Without once
stopping, without once adding to the
coal supply or equipment with which
they left Honolulu, the Dattleships
have plowed through waters which
never before held such an aggregation
OF sea power, to be received in a for
eign port hours ahead of the time
planned.
The landing was made at the newly
erected quay at the foot Of Queen
street, the city's principal thorough
fare, at the shore end Of which an
deliberately decorated stand had been
erected for the reception. Grouped
about the Prime Minister were the
members of the Cabinet and repre-
s~entatives Of the various town, bor-

minion.
Immense crowds ~thronged the
streets, and the roofs and verandas of
houses adjacent were moving masses
Of humanity. 1t was o great recep-
ton and u~nbounded enthusiasm pre-
vailed.
In his address Sir Joseph eulogized
President Roosevelt as representing
the best traditions Of the common
blood of civilization. He then pre-
sented to Admiral Sperry for Presi-
dent Roosevelt a decorated gold and
silver album suitably inscribed as a
souvenir Of the visit of the American
feet to New Zealand. Admiral Sperry
received a beautifully illuminated ad-
dress Of welcome enclosed in q hand
some casket of wood with an inlaid
cover having a design emblematic of
New, Zealand.
The American Commander-in-
Chief, in replying TO the Prime Min
lister, said that no greeting would ap-
peal more strongly to President
Roosevelt than that coming from a
people small in number, but great in
achievements. The reception Of the
American feet, the Admiral con-
tinued, showed that the ties of blood
and friendship meant more than peo-
pie understood.
He described Auckland Harbor as
magnificent and safe, and as exce1ling
any harbor in the Pacific, except that
at Sydney, and perhaps Manila.
Every facility the naval commander
might desire was to be had here.
In his address of welcome on be-
half of the citizens of New Zealand,
Lord Plunkitt, the Governor, said
that King Edward and President
Roosevelt were honored, not because
of their Positions, but for the noble
work they had done and we're doing
for their countries and for humanity,

HUGHES SUMMONS SHERIFF
Must Answer For Permitting
B~ookmaking at Saratoga Track
John Bradley, Jr., May Be Removed
-Governor's Stenographer Serves
Laidlaw Gambling Charges.

Saratoga, N. Y.-The determine
ton OF Governor Hughes to pursue
his war on race track gambling to the
bitter end was demonstrated when
copies of charges alleging neglect of
duty in failing to suppress gambling
at Saratoga Springs were served on
Sheriff John Bradley, Jr., OF Saratoga
County, by Ben Smith, the Govern
ors confidential stenographer.
The charges, which not only &C.
cuse the Sheriff of closing his eyes to
the gambling at the Saratoga track,
but ask for his removal, were filed
with the Governor by the Rev. DR..
Walter Laidlaw, of New York, chair
man OF the Anti-Race Track Gamb-
ling Campaign Committee.
Sheriff Bradley was summoned to
appear In his own defense in the ex-
ecutive chamber at Albany. He was
also directed to file an answer to the
charges.
The charges are as follows:
On behalf of the citizens of the
Anti-Race Track Gambling Campaign
Committee, / hereby present to you
charges of wilful neglect of duty
against Sheriff Bradley, Jr., of Sara
toga County.
Il charge against Sheriff Bradley:
First = That he has permitted
Chapter 8 of the Penal Code. and
particularly Section 351 of the Penal
Code, to be violated on the race track
maintained by the Saratoga Associa-
ton for Improving the Breed of
Horses, although his attention has
been specifically drawn thereto, and
although request has been made that
he be diligent in the enforcement
thereof.
"Second-That he has permitted
MS deputies to allow and connive at
violations of the said laws.
Third That he has permitted
bookmakers to carry on their bust
ness at Saratoga during the racing
season.
'Fourth-That he has permitted
bookmakers to employ agents for the
solicitation Of business and permitted
them openly to carry on solicitation.
"Fifth-That he has allowed book
makers to record wagers on races
about to be run.
"Sixth-That he has allowed book
makers to receive money wagered on
races about to be run.
Seventh - That he has allowed
bookmaking to go on in the hotels of
Saratoga as well as on the race track.
"Eighth-That his failure to make
a single arrest during the nine days
of racing already held, while the
grand stand and field have been filled
with bookmakers, prosecuting their
business, has been subversive of the
purpose of the Penal Code.
Il, therefore, ask for the removal
from Office Of John Bradley, Jr.,
Sheriff of Saratoga County,"
