A. V. Wilson Of Bangor, Me-,
Claims to Have Greatest Of
All Flying Machines.
CAN CONTROL 1T PERFECTLY
Chief Feature is Il Movable TuIcrum,
Enabling Him to Tilt Wings
AT Any Angle.

New York. Oct ia new areplanist
has come to town, bringing with him
the story that he has designed and built
the machine that can fly without the
aid of Il motor. He is Alexander ".
Wilson Of Bangor, Me-. and SO conf
dent is he of success that he is pre-
pared to put in a bid to the government
for a naval aeroplanc as soon as the Of
fetal specifications are Issued.
Mr. Wilson has built several ma
chimes within the last dozen years. He
has also flown with them. most of his
experiments having been OH the ice in
winter over Eagle lake. near Bar Har-
Dor, and IN summer along the shore,
Mr. Wilson's latest aeroplane was
built a few months ago, and in one of
his recent flights he says he covered
seven miles and on another occasion
rose to a height of 700 feet without
the aid of a motor.
"Of course" said Mr.. Wilson,S"I can
only rise In the airfand remain there
without q, motor provided there is suf-
ficient wind. Therefore. it is best to
have a small motor to rise when the
atmosphere, Isl STILL but with any kind
OF wind the motor may be shut off and

the wind as with it. and control my
machine perfectly.
One of the chief features of the Will
son aeroplane is a movable fulcrum.
which IS under the control of the opera
tor and enables him to tilt the moving
wings to any desired angle during his
flight. There are four of these wings.
two at either end. the total length 'of
the machine being S6 feet.
The machine was shipped early this
week from Bar Harbor to this city
and public test of its abilities Will
be given atthe Morris park race track

possess great acuteness of vision The low positions in the scale occupied by dogs, cats, bats and many fishes, which feed upon living prey. Is contrary to all expectation. In tho case of dogs and certain fishes, lack of sharpness of vision is due to the great size of the retinal elements. It has long been known that dogs have such indistinct vision that as a rule a dog is not able to recognize his master by sight alone. These re- suits emphasize the distinction be- tween vision of motionless objects and vision of moving objects. The latter faculty is necessarily keen in all animals of prey. A cat is little affected by the sight of motionless objects, but pounces on fleeing mouse or a trailed string instantly and with unerring precision. A trout will rise to the most impossible arti- ficial fly if it's motion resembles that of a living fly. The inclusion and position of man in the series are based upon the ocular measurements given by Helmboltz in his "Physio- logische Optik. Scientific Ameri- can.

NOTED ABORIGINE.
FuII-BIooded Redskin Famous n:
 Talented Lecturer.

Although the educated American ] Indian is fairly familiar in the
 United States, in England he is something of curiosity. A redskin of this class is attracting a good deal of attention in London as lecturer both on Indian subjects and on sub- jects of wider interest.
 Joseph o. Brant-Sero is his name and he is a lineal descendant of the Mohawk chief, Joseph Brant, who was an officer in the English army and who founded the first Protestant church in Canada. The hundredth anniversary of Chief Joseph's death has just been celebrated by the h. dians at Brantford, Ont.
 Mir Brant-Sero is now 40 years old. No one who sees him can doubt for a moment that there IS not a drop of white blood in his veins, for although he wears ordinary English dress, the high cheek bones. the coarse black hair, the hawk-hke nose and the copper skin all proclaim him an Indian of the Indians. When he walks along the Strand or Picca- dilly it is not with the short and rather mincing step of civilization, but with the long swinging stride of the forest dweller.
 He was born on the Six Nations reserve in Canada, and until he went to school knew no other tongue than that of the IroquOis. He was edu- cated partly on the reserve and part ly at the Mohawk institution. which was founded by the New England company in 1861. and vas moved across the American border after the American Revolution. 1t is in many respects similar to the American Indian school at Carlisle. From there he went to the Brantford Cen traI school and attended school for half a day. working to earn his liv- ing and help his mother during the other half.
 Mr Brant-Sero first went to Eng land ten years ago. He vas taken there by the Hardy Van Lear Dra- matic company to form one of the Indian crowd in the play. "0n the Frontier" but he displayed such in- teiligence and dramatic talent that he was given a leading part. previ- ously played by a white man. He played the part more than a thou sand times in England and when the company broke up on account of the death of Mr Hardy he abandoned the stage and took to leesuring-
 At first he devoted himself to dis eoursing on Indian subjects. describ- ing the wild life of his people and illustrating it by magic lantern views. He has Iectured ia every town of any sine in the United King dom and his services are .Fways in demand by organizers of entertain ments- He has lectured in Indian costume on the life of his great an- eestor before historical societies and learned ethnologists have confessed to him that he has cleared up for

In the Highest of Tnuns.

If you look al a picture of CerrO de Pasco. Peru, you will see a wide valley plain inclOsed hy ranges of the Andes without a bit of yegeta- tion anywhere visible except in the four deep gulches that cut the flat surface of the plain. This surface is bleak and hare because ic stands 14.200 feet above the sea. and the mountains around it rise into the region Of eternal snow.
 No mining district in South Amer lea is now attracting more atten- tion than CerrO dc Paseo. This is because the silver mines found there. the most famous of the con tinent. are completely changing their character.
 The guIches of Cefro de Pasco were for centuries famous as one of the greatest sources of the worlds supply of silver They yielded about s45e. .0U9 900 worth Of silver up to the middle Of the last century.
 Since then they have heen yielding less silver and more copper and 1O- day t is known that the copper de posits in view will Isa one Of the leading sources of supply for an fin definite time to come.

the excitement and public feeling against them subsided. Then public meetings again were held, and most of the speeches were in praise of Czol, gosz Johann Most was arrested in New York, Emma Goldman in Chicago and hundreds of others in various cities. These arrests had little effect on account of the difficulty of obtaining ! jail sentences for the reds"
 The next wave of blatant anarchism came in 1902 when rabid utterances by various anarchists led the authorities to believe plot was being matched to assassinate Prince Henry during his visit to the United States. The utmost vigilance was exerted by both the mu- nicipal police departments and the fed eral government to prevent the cul- imitation of the supposed plot.
 Up to 1905, presumably because of the fear instilled by aAs high public feeling following the assassination of President Mckinley, the anarchists were quiet. In January of that year they began to attract public attention again by their meetings in sympathy for the revolutionists in Russian and the assassins of that period abroad. From that time to the assassination of Father Leo Heinrichs in Denver few weeks ago the blatancy and daring of the anarchists increased.
 In November, 1906, Emma Goldman, with six other women and five men, was arrested in New York at a meet ing at which speeches laudatory of Czolgosz were being made. Johann Most had died, but his place had been taken by Alexander Berkman, who had finished term of thirteen years for the attempted assassination of Henry c. Prick Berkman is at pres ent editor, with Emma Goldman, of Mother Earth, an infiammatory paper at 210 East Thirteenth street, New York.
 Dozens of groups held meetings con stantly in New York under various names and often tried to capture other meetings. La Question Sociale, Frei- heit, Mother Earth, the Arbeiter Zei- tung of Chicago, one of the editors of which was Hippolyte Havel, another of Emma Goldman's friends" and other less rabid anarchistic organs flourish ed. The German groups in New York held their celebrations in commem- oration of the commune undisturbed in the Bronx. The Chicago groups each year spread red flowers on the graves of the anarchists who were hanged and who were buried in Wald- helm cemetery.
 The assassination of Father Leo was followed quickly by the attempt to kill George Shippy, chief of police of Chi cago, and the killing instead by Ship py of the would be assassin.

hem many points in the history and origin of the American Indian on
 which they have been puzzled. T just talk and sing for an hour and a half" he said to me the other day. "I tell them how I was brought Up and how my people live, and sing them the Indian songs that my | mother taught me. They seem to be : most interested, however, in my an cestor, Joseph. Everyone in Eng- land seems to have heard of the great Indian who remained loyal to the king when the American colonies revolted, and they want to hear all about him."
 Mir Brant-Sero is widely lead and cultured and is student of the basic principles of law. His stand ing as a legal authority may be gathered from the fact that he re- gently has been appointed a lecturer by the Personal Legal Rights asso- citation, which has many eminent jurists among its members, and is organized for the purpose of giving assistance to pooer persons whose rights are invaded by offlcialdom and who are in danger of suffering in justice because of their ignorance of the law. Mir Brant-SerO LOW goes from town to town featuring on the work of the association aud organiz- ing branches.
 He is happiest, however. when he Is talking about his ancestors and his life on the reserve, and he frank ly confesses that he wishes to get away from the bricks and mortar of London and back into the forest. His favorite recreation in England is to bury himself in one of tine forests which are still preserved within easy reach of London and roam about them alone for days.
 He bears a remarkable likeness to Chief Joseph and when in Indian dress one might almost think that he was the model for Romney's pic ture of his ancestor which hangs in the British museum. This picture of Chief Joseph was painted when the chief visited England in 1775 and received a commission as cap tain in the English army from the king. Tn 177g a commission ap- pointing him a colonel Of the h. dians who were fighting on the side of the British against the American colonists was sent out b. King George, but General HaIdimond, fearing that it would excite jealousy among the other Indian chiefs. sup- pressed it and it was afterward with drawn.-Kansas City Star.

China's Great Reformer.

Yuan Shi K'ai is remarkable man. Unlike some of his col 1 leagues who have travelled and stud-

 official shows a firmer grasp on this biggest and most bewildering of the worlds governmental problems. Practically self-made man (his fa-

Atlantic City to Have One Where

 Religious services exclusively for men in which the congregation will be privileged to smoke and divest coat and collar if desired is an innovation planned by the Rev. Sydney Goodman, assistant rector of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension in Atlantic City, N. J.
 The church for men is to be con. ducted in the new parish hall recently erected, adjoining the church in Ken lucky avenue. The auditorium has a seating capacity for $50 persons. Serv- ices are to be he'd immediately after the regular Sunday evening service.
 A moving picture show will afford entertainment. Mir. Goodman feels that many men who refrain from at tending church services by reason of embarrassment due to the presence of the fair sex will take advantage of the opportunity to listen to religious topics expressed in practical manner.
