Young RooseveIt's Canoe Stunt.

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, recently
started a new fad at Manchester,
Mass, which, from the number of imi-
tators, bids fair to become popular
with the younger members Of the
north shore summer colony. The
stunt consists in running a canoe
through the surf to distance of a
hundred feet from the shore and then
letting it be carried to the sands on
the crest OF high waves. Five times
out of six the topping waves swamp
the craft before land is reached, and
there Is rare sport recovering it.

ing Eyes and Forehead.
The double veil fad, which was dis
carded two seasons ago by general re-
quest of the men because it was an
impossibility to tell who was bowling
to them, has been renewed with vigor
at Newport, r. l. The other morning
at the casino Mrs. Philip NJ Lydig
came in for tennis wearing a heavy
dark brown veil over a white tulle eff
feet, and as another woman shook
Mrs. Lydig by the hand she remarked,
81 hardly knew you" Mrs. Lydig re-
piled, 'I'm sure l did not know who
you were till you spoke"
Then in came Miss Anna Sands with
another double veil showing only her
eyes and a portion of the forehead,
and Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll fol-
lowed. These wells are either Of brown,
green or white and are caught in the
back of the head and worn from the
bridge Of the nose and well under the
chin. The eyes and forehead only are
shown.
1t was a wave of wells at the casino.
Mrs. Smith Hollis McKim of New
York came in wearing a white serge
morning gown with a lavender colored
parasol, panama hat turned up In
front and down in the back, with a
silk tulle veil carrying almost to the
ground. Miss Ethelinda @. Morgan,
Mrs. Oliver Hartman and Mrs. Joseph
r. Dilworth wore the extremely long
dropping wells.

Count Ferdinand Won zeppelin's
great dirigible arship, in which he re-
Gently started on a twenty-four hour
flight, measures 43J feet and is forty
three feet wide in its widest part. 1t
is of a rigid type, In which the count
firmly believes, and thus is opposed to
the nonrlgid dlrigibe balloons favored
by the experts of the French, English
and German armies The gas bag is
made rigid by dividing it into sixteen
gas tight compartments. Beneath hang
two large water tight aluminium cars.
These contain the motors, steering APP
paratus and other machinery. The car
will carry twenty-five persons. The
principle on which the machine rises
is that the gas shall be sufficient to
reduce the weight Of the machine to
zero; then the rising and control of the
ship are wholly matters for the motors
and planes attached to the sides of the
gas bag.
This sounds very easy of accomplish
ment, but years were required before
the count could find the right angle at
which to place the planes. He uses
four. The upper pair slant upward, and
the lower slant downward. By this
means the balloon is perfectly stable
In ordinary wind. Four pairs of YER
ticle planes near the PROV of the bal
loon are used to give the ship an up
ward or downward slope. There are
six propellers. driven by the eighty
three horsepower motors.
The airship is housed in a floating
shed near the village of Manzell, on
Lake Constance, about 600 feet from
the shore. 1t rests on the floor. The
shed can be towed, as it's float is
barge shaped. When all is ready for
an ascension the airship is run out Of
the shed, the bell rings. ropes are
thrown off, the rudder planes inclined
upward and the propellers set going.
1t gracefully lifts it's bow, speeds along
a little and then rises, guided by its
inventor and his engineer, Herr
Duerr.
When it is desired to discharge and
take on passengers a motor boat
speeds up to the front car and the
passengers easily and safely leave the
airship. The next moment 1t rises
and takes any direction desired by the
operator. 1t has an action radius of
LAO miles. There are bedrooms, work
ing room, writing desks and other fur
niture and every comfort for twelve
passengers for night service. There
are powerful searchlight and wireless
telegraph apparatus on board. The
counts aim is to be able to speed forty
miles an hour.
1t is not generally known that Count
Zeppelin is a veteran of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. He served
through the American civil war as
cavalry officer in the Army of the Mis-
sissippi in the brigade commanded by
General Carl Schurz. At the battle Of
fredericksburg the young German
cavalryman owed his escape from cap
ture to a brilliant feat of horseman-
ship, which carried him through the
line of bayonets with which he had
been encircled. 1t is said that it was
in the Union service that the count
made his first balloon ascension, which
created his interest in aeronautics. 1t
was in captive balloon sent up to OBJ
serve the Confederate lines.

Christian County for Taft.

Hopkinsville, Ky, March low
ing to the fact that the night rider
troubles have occupied the center of
the stage for so long. matters polti-
cal have remained largely in the back
ground but with the nearer approach
of the Republican national convention
interest is rapidly awakening.
In Christian county both Taft and
Fairbanks will have a good following,
AT this time it being hard to tell
which really has the best of Il. The
leaders of the party, locally, are lined
up on either side and the rank and
file seem to be equally divided in
their opinion as TO which of the can
didates would stand the best chance
against the Democrats.
When it finally comes to show
down, though, unbiased men believe
that Taft will land the instruction
from this county. The big secretary
of war is regarded by many to be the
logical candidate for the Republicans
to nominate and these believe in him
so strongly that they will go to the
last ditch in order TO secure the in
struction for him.
Another indication which argues
well for Taft in this county, is that
the first permanent organization eff
fected in the state in his behalf is a
club formed among the negroes OF
this city, the most prominent mem
bers of that race being the leaders in
the movement The club has not only
organized, but headquarters have
been opened and are being kept open
all the time and the membership is
growing RAPIDLY.

Anti-Betting Bill Expected To Pass
and Test Vote ON Question May
Come This Week.

Albany, n. Y, March 10.--The cen
ter of the legislative stage Is now oc-
cupied by the group of bills embOdy-
ing the recommendation of Gov.
Hughes that the constitutional prohi-
bition of gambling within the state be
obeyed by the legislature specially by
the passage of appropriate laws" to
abolish the present statutory discrim-
nation which virtually protects gamb-
ling at racetracks. It should be I'M
derstood that there are several bills
in this group. all introduced by Sena-
tortor Agnew, of New York City. and
Assemblyman Hart. of Utica, and they
are popularity known as the governors
bills.
There will probably be no further
hearings on the bills before the Codes
committee. the precise effect of which
would be to amend the penal code so
as to prescribe penalty or imprison-
ment only for gambling at or in con
nection with horseracing. The present
law fOrbids such gambling, but pro-
vides that where the wager Is made
within an authorized racetrack in
closure, the only penalty or redress
is a civil suit for the amount wagered.
The other so-calied anti-racetrack
gambling bills would amend other
statutes in detail necessary TO achieve
the main end recommended by the
governor.
1t is now expected that this week
will see a vote in both the senate and
assembly committees on the penal
code amendment Should the senate
committee fail at It's next meeting
Tuesday morning to report the bill,

poets to move in the open senate to

Their consideration, and Il is possible
that something in the nature Of a test
vote of the senate on the subitct of
racetrack gambling will thus be pre-
cipitated The immediate outcome Of
this procedure can hardly be foreseen,
but the impression grows on both
sidts of the question that the legisla-
ton desired by the governor will be
passed without serious delay. The
racetrack people here now admit in
private that they regard their fight as
practically lost already.
