Interest in aeronautics has been
intensified since the government began
to take an interest. The recent tests
of Capt. Baldwin's big dirigible bal
loon, which he built for the signal
corps of the United States army, were
followed with keen interest all over
the ballooning world. In addition to
this he has built for the government
two spherical balloons.
Following the old adage that shoe
maker should stick to his last, Capt,
Baldwin never wavered for a moment
in his intention to master the air for
transportation facilities.
When still a mere youngster he be

been nearly 80 years previous to Bald
wins attempt that the last man to try
the experiment had met his death. But
after considerable experimenting and
thought given to the idea, Bald
win was determined to make a
jump of 1000 feet from the balloon.
That was 81 years ago. Baldwin an
nounced his intention and thousands
of people gathered at Golden Gate
park and cheered as the plucky young
man made the first successful para
chute jump on record. This was the
beginning of his long record of sue
cesses twice around the world And in
all these daring chances he took Capt.

Europe. Also in Australia. China,
japan and Egypt. Everywhere he
went, with his series of successes fol
lowing him, he gave encouragement to
those who were working along the
same lines that he had spent so many
years on.
The one sad event in Capt. Baldwin's
experience was the loss of his perfect
" equipped workshop during the San
Francisco disaster. Thousands of dol
lars had been spent on the best tools.

airships, which represented years of
experiments and also the best of his
knowledge CLEANED from his work in
his all-around the world trips. This

Capt. Baldwin has studied the air
currents as a mariner has studied the
sea. None Of his successes or his dis
coveries has come by chance, but by
patient and long, hard work in ex-
perimenting and studying out the foul-

tainable. No matter how successful

Railway Apprentice Schools.

The New York Central railroad
maintains nine apprentice SCHOOLS
along its lines where workmen are
trained for the shops of the company.
These apprentices are paid from IL to
20 cents an hour, according to the
length of time which they have served,
and upon serving three years satisfac-
torily get a diploma, after which the
pay Is so cents on hour The nine
schools had 400 pupils last year, and
the cost of their operation was $1,000.
They are presided over by a superin-
tendent of apprentices, whose entire
time is given to this work. He maps
out the course of instruction and at.
tends to all the details of the operation
of the schools.

two sides of the river seems difficult
to men not to the manor born yet the
conditions are accepted as natural and
regular by natives.
Between Alexandria and the Mary
land shore the Potomac is n mile wide.
The Maryland lands are thickly set
tied. Because of circuitous roads the
dwellers there must drive ten miles
to Washington, whereas in a straight
line the distance is but five. That
country has yet to be traversed by a
trolley line. Many of the people on
the east side of the river cross to
Alexandria and take steamboat or troll
ley to Washington. The means of COM
munication between Alexandria, a city
OF $1,000 inhabitants, and the opposite
shore, is n "foot-ferry"-or more ac-
curately hand ferry-for the ferry is
a small boat rowed by n veteran river
man. The boat is rugged with a sail
and when the wind favors, which is
not often, the ferryman rests on his
oars. A trip is made every hour.
When the accompanying picture was
taken the sail was in use.
The ferryman Is w. II. Wheatley.
He has spent his life on the river and
has been conducting the ferry for
many years. He plies from a slip be.
tween two of the principal wharves
in Alexandria and decaying quay
called "Fox's Ferry" on the other side
Fox's Ferry was hustling place be-
fore the age of steam, man named
Fox operating an endless chain ferry
across the river at that point.
