STATES MAY LOSE.
Appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors May Revert to Government.

Appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors May Revert to Government.
Washington, May 10.-UnIess con-
gress takes specific action at the spec
ial session now in progress, nearly ST.
900, 900 appropriated for river and har-
Dor improvements in various sections
of the United States will be turned
back into the national treasury, much
to the chagrin of many congressman
and senators.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section of the sundry civil
bill, approved March a. This section
provides that all unexpended balances
of appropriations that remained on the
treasury books June l, 1904, except
permanent specified appropriations,
judgments and findings of courts ano
trust funds and appropriations for full
filling treaty obligations with the In
dams be carried to the surplus fund and
covered back into the treasury, "pro-
vided that the money is not needed tc
pay existing treaties"
To meet the situation, Senator Burton
has introduced a resolution providing
that the section of the sundry civil bill
in question shall not be construed as
applying to the unexpended balances il
river and harbor appropriations which
may be essential, in the judgment OF
the secretary of war, for. the mainten,
ance and prosecution of the work fol
which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that will
revert are:
Mouth of Columbia river, Oregon
$24, 900; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon
1923. 900; restraining barriers Sacra
mento and Feather rivers, California
$14, 900; and harbor at Tacoma, Wash
ington, $11, 600.

1t has been said that Asiatic nations
excelled others in the use of the sling,
and the singers of an ancient army
used their little weapons with terrible
effect. These natives have such skill, -
says one old historian, that it very
rarely happens that they miss their
aim. What makes them so great in
the use of the sling is the training Civ
en- them from their earliest years by
their mothers, who set up piece Of
bread hung at the end Of rod for a
target and let their children remain
without food until they have hit it,
when the child who is the victor re
ceives the bread as the reward of his
skill and patience"

West Rich: Stones Go un.

New York, May 10.-Because of the
demand of the West and Southwest for
precious stones the price of diamonds
and pearls is to be increased soon.
Prosperity in those sections is credited
by the Maiden Lane dealers with caus-
ing them to do more than 100 per cent
more business in precious stones last
April than during the same month last
year. A leading importer is quoted as
saying that as soon as the tariff ques-
tion is settled there will be an increas-
ed price on diamonds at least, if not on
other precious stones.

Air Graft Over Chicago.

Chicago, May 11.-Mysterious aero
nauts passed over Chicago last night
in two balloons, travelling rapidly
southwark. The lookout of the life
saving station at the mouth of the
Chicago river is believed to have first
seen the aerial visitors. He reported
his discovery to Captain Garland of the
crew. Field and night glasses were
brought to bear upon the airships Jut
nothing could be deserted save the
forms of what appeared to be two men.
One of the balloons carried lights but
the other was in darkness.

tion of Admiral Evans, who conducted
the experiments on board his flagship,
the Connecticut, and another vessel.
Every battleship, cruiser or torpedo
boat of the great Pacific fleet was
equipped with radio wireless tele-
phones before setting out on the MEM
orable cruise. These instruments were
given a thorough trial in inter-ship
communication and in conversation
with several wireless stations On the
Pacific coast
In the meantime, the young inventor
has not been content to rest on the
laurels obtained from his successful
work in the navy and has carried on
many experiments, both at home and
abroad. In May, 1908, from the Eiffel
tower, wireless messages were sent by
the radio telephone to every wireless
station in France. A warship off
Marseilles, nearly 900 miles away,
heard the transmitted messages just as
distinctly as did the stations near
Paris. While doing this, DR.. DeForest
had equipped several of the vessels of
the Italian navy and the instruments
met with such decided success that an
arrangement has been practically con-
Guided for the equipment of the entire
navy.
Mrs. DeForest is quite as interesting
as her inventor husband. She grad
uated from Cornell university in the
difficult science of civil engineering.
She was the first and only woman to
graduate from an Eastern college in
this profession. After her graduation
honors were heaped upon her until she
stood before the world as its foremost
woman hydraulic engineer, and re-
markable example of woman's intel
lectual equality with man.
She was the first woman ever elect.
ed to membership in the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers. She helped
to build the greatest water works sys
tenn in the worlds history, being on the
engineering staff charged with tn,
building of the S161, 900, 900 Catskil
system. In June, 1907, she was elect
ed fellow of Cornell university, al
honor rarely conferred upon women
While at Cornell she proved herself t.
be the peer of any of the male athletes
She is a leader in the equal right
movement and various movements de
signed to improve the social condition
of all women. And now she furthe
distinguishes herself by being the frs
woman to engage in wireless telephony
