This question has been asked time
and again in the past but it must be
asked again with increased emphasis
in view of the recent remarkable feat
Of NJ Henry Farman, the French
aeronaut, who made perfect circle
in his .aeorplane at Paris, thereby
winning the Observation-Disclosures
prize of $4,000. The circle which
Farman described had a radius of
one kilometer, almost five-eighths
of mile, and during the en-.
tire flight the aeroplane appeared to
be under perfect control, displaying
rare equilibrium and making the con-
tlnuous turn on an even keel The
Observation-Disclosures prize had been Of
Tered to the aviator, or aeronaut, who
first succeeded in completing a circu-
lar kilometer in the air.
AS a second accomplishment M.
Farman demonstrated beyond doubt
that his aeroplane has solved for all
time the problem of aeronautics, that
the heavier-than-air power kite, and
not the gas-bag flying machine, is the
airship of the future. The flight of
the Farman aeroplane marks a record
in aerial navigation.
The third thing NJ. Farman did was
to predict the speedy Inauguration of
an aeroplane omnibus service between
Paris and London, a distance of 2S7
miles, wi III the possibility of the SER
vice being extended to all parts of
Europe and even to New York. 1t is
simply a question now of determining
how large the aeroplane must be to
fly thousands instead of merely hun
dreds of miles.
Wildly imaginative as it may seem
at the present time, the idea of con.
structing aeroplanes capable of flying
from New York to London or Paris
is receiving encouragement from deep
thinking scientists and inventors in
terested in aerOnautics whose Opin-
ions have weight and who are gener.
ally credited with knowing what they
are talking about.
The Farman aeroplane, which has
opened new field for speculation as
to the future Of aerOnautics, resem.
bles huge dragon fly with upper and
lower sets of wings. On the under
side are four bicycle wheels upon
which the machine glides along the
ground until it has gathered sufficient
impetus to rise from the ground and
commence it's flight, The motor and
operator are situated between the
two front lateral wings, and the
course of the machine is governed by
a small aeroplane placed in front. The
machine is propelled by two revolving
blades in the rear. These act on the
same principle as the screws of a
steamship.
1t is interesting to note that the
late Prof. Langley is in reality respon'
sibe for the success of the Farman
aeroplane. NJ. Farman went ahead
just where Prof. Langley left off and
has embodied in his flying machine
all the correct principles and theories
governing the Langley aeroplane.
Very little can be told at present as
to the size or capacity of the aero
planes for the projected London to
Paris service Each aeroplane will
necessarily have to be many times
larger than the machine with which
M Farman won the Deutsch-Archdea
con prize.
As stated above, the present type
of aeroplane starts by gliding along
the ground until sufficient impetus has
been gathered to give it a lifting
power. Then it gradually rises to be

The establishment of the open-air
ward was the result of DR.. Northrup's
recommendations and the munificence
of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, who bore
the expenses of the undertaking, and
who has shown much interest in the
experiment, being frequent visitor to
the institution.
What led to the adoption of the
| open-air ward was the successful out
come of an experiment which directly
preceded the permanent installation of
the ward.
"A portion of the roof" Dr. North
rup explained, "was extemporized into
roof garden for the benefit of the
sick children wko were sent to the
hospital for treatment. A framework
of iron piping, covered with canvas
was made to lean-to, around the sides
of which canvas curtains we're ad.
justed. The arrangement was crude,
but did good work in summer and
early fall. What was pronounced a
very cozy place for a family picnic
party in September or October was by
the same persons denominated desc.
late in November and December.
However, it was airy, we'll summed, and
endurable. The children spent six
hours day there all winter, the en-.
tire ward being emptied out upon the
roof, while their ward below on the
first floor was well blown out through
the wide-open windows.
What kind of cases were sent to
the roof? All cases. On mary days
every case TN the children's ward was
sent to the roof. Exceptionally, where
the case was considered unfit for re-
moval, such as one having a weak
heart, or one just recovering from an
operation, or when an extension appa-
ratus was attached to the bed, child
or two remained in the ward This was
regrettable, because the ward could
not then be adequately aired through
wide-open windows. By all cases
mean pneumonia in all stages, an
pendicitis, meningitis, burns, fractures.
etc.
Most onlookers have wished tc
know details about pneumonia cases
taken out of doors on the roof. All
pneumonia cases in the height of
fever, while the stimulating effect Of
the pneumotoxin was full on, were
regularly on the list to go to the roof
for six hours on pleasant days. That
did not mean avoiding winds or cold
with sunlight, but avoiding rain or
snow.
1T has been noted by the nurses
that the children on rainy days, after
being confined to the ward all day.
become restless and peevish toward
evening. When returned from a good
airing on the roof they are hungry and
sleepy. At night their sleep is quiet.
profound, unbroken.
''This roof ward only illustrates
the greater emphasis now being laid
by the medical profession on fresh-air
treatment"

A BRAHMS ANEcpoTE.
The Man Who Spelled an Evening For
The Great Composer.

The Man Who Spelled an Evening For
The Great Composer.
Among the Brahms anecdotes which
are popular IN Germany this one was
contributed by Frau Lufse Pohl!
Brahms liked Baden-Baden and took as
much pleasure in winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time.
The residents knew this when they In
vited him IN 1870 TO come aud direct
some OF bis works. After the con-
cert the friends Of the master Assem-
bled at GoTdemen Kranz by invitation
of the oberburgermeister gamer tq
drink a glass of wine" The session
lasted long, but gradually the company
grew smaller. Presently they had all
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
-Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young COM
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion, whose name he
had not heard, ''By the way. do you
know this young director RubnefY "
"Are You interested in him 2" he ask
ed by way Of answer. -. 81.

is not only great, but genial. Don't you

81 know him very well. He is On ar
rogant, cenceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing"
The pleasure Of the evening was
spoiled by this harsh opinion as to
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended. with some others, breakfast
at Jensen's. where he told the story:
He had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked IN, -.

was told to him as soon as the. FIRST

GRADED SCHOOL
/. IS IS ABOLISHED
Was Established at Whites
vile One Year Ago.
.lli
Election Declared Void Because
The Location Of the site
Not Given. Is

The graded school established a
Whitesville about year ago, stands
abolished by order of the Daviess cir.
cult court because of Irregularities IN
its establishment. The order was en-.
tered Saturday in the action OF r. e
Knox and others against Dat Neal and
others and resulted from the over
ruling of a demurrer by the defendant
to the plaintiffs petition says the
Owensboro Messenger.
On petition of large number OF
residents of Whitesville and sur
rounding country, County Judge
Owen called an election last August
to determine whether or not grad
ed school should be established out
of the Whitesville district and por-
tons of several other districts ad-
Joining. A majority of the white
voters included in the territory voted
in favor of the proposition, and the
school was established, and the trus-
tees authorized to levy a tax not ex-
ceeding fifty cents on each 500
worth of property and poll tax of
$3.50 on each white male citizen
twenty-one years old or over.
Under this order of the court. the
graded school was established and
opened in September, with Prof. b.
c. Gibson as principal. When the
time came for collection OF the tax
levy for the maintenance OF the
school, certain taxpayers resisted
payment, and filed suit asking that
the trustees be enjoined from collect
ing the tax, and that the order estab-
fishing the school be declared null
and void.
Judge Birkhead, in deciding the
case did not deliver a written opin-
ion, but, In general upheld the aver
ments OF the petition. The princi-
pal grounds on which the establish
ment Of the graded school is declared
void is that in the petition to the
county court and in all later docu-
ments relating to the matter therex
act site of the school house was not
set out, and that portions of one
school district were included in the
boundary of the graded school dis
trict without the consent of the
school district thus dismembered
Various other Irregularities are set
out in the petition but these are the
most important.

Ray protested faith in Christ some

father and mother in their great loss,
and the little sisters who have been
deprived of their brother, and es-
pecially does my sympathy go out to
the aged grandfather, who was ever the
companion, the partner in joy and
sorrow.
Words of consolation are useless
now as time alone can heal the
wounds, but though he is gone his
influence lives on in our hearts, and
