LEON BoURGERs
Will he Offered French Premiership by
President FaiIieres.

Paris, July 21.-President Fallieres to-
morrow will offer the premiership to Leon
Bourgeois, former minister of foreign af
fairs. This decision was reached late to-
night. but as M. Bourgers is not expect
ed to reach Paris from Hamburg until to-
morrow his actual attitude with regard
mentary circles. however, foresee that he
will decline the honor as his health is far
from robust Nevertheless the cabinet
crisis promises to be of short duration.
M. Clemenceau, the late premier. M
Dubost, president of the Senate. and M
Brisson. president of the Chamber of
Deputies, as a unit have counselled Pres
ident Fallieres that M. BRAND, minister
of justice and worship. is the most avail
able man after M. Bourgers, and it is I'M
derstood that Mr. BRAND is the second
choice. The parliamentary leaders of the
majority told President Fallieres today
that M. Clemenceau defeat was a per-
sonal matter directed against the minister
for his attack upon M. Del Case. and
that it would not check the policies of
government which should be continued.
NJ. Bryand. after Clemenceau, is the
most conspicuous member of the retiring
cabinet. Although the temper of the Sem
ate is described as rather cold to the ele-
walton of M Bryand, the attitude of the
Chamber is said to be sympathetic. If
he Is named as premier it is expected
that he will Immediately reconstitute the
Clemepceau ministry, with Clemenceau
omitted. and commit himself to following
up the program of reforms laid down by
the Clemenceau cabinet al
The entire political world remains COM
rletely stupefied at M. Clemenceau's at
titude yesterday. No one can believe that
an old campaigner like Clemenceau did
not realize what he was doing, and for
this reason many advance the theory that
he deliberately planned his own down
fall. The general opinion is picturesque
ly summed up by Henri Rochefort, editor
of the Patrie. who says:
"Clemenceau had overthrow SO many
ministers that he believed 1t proper to
overthrow himself. He committed sui
eide yesterday by firing several phrases

0rvi||s WfightMakes Good
Time With AeropIane.
Sails Through Ali al Nearly
. S. Miles an Hour.
Makes Two Asesnts...W athsr
Conditions Ideal.

Washington, July 21.-In two short
flights in the Wright aeroplane this
evening at Fort Myer, Va, Orville
Wright closely approached the worlds
aeroplane speed record, attaining an
average velocity of SAY miles an hour
as compiled by Wilbur Wright, who
held stop watch on the machine for
half n dozen rounds Of the course The
Wright brothers had decided to give
this speed change only a 10-minute trial
today, and the aviator brought the
aeroplane to the earth after 10 minutes
and so seconds in the air.
Weather conditions were good for a
flight when the aeroplane was wheeled
from it's shed shortly after o'clock. It
was $50 o'clock when without a prelim-
mary test of the motor, Orville Wright
jumped into his seat and gave the
starting signal. AS the flyer rounded
the first curve. it was evident that
much better speed was being main
tanned than previously. On the third
round the cog wheel on the magnetic
slipped off and dropped to the ground.
The aeroplane was so feet from the
ground and the aviator Immediately
shut off the power and descended, cas-
lily, making landing in about 500 feet
distance.
Half an hours work was required to
put the cog wheel back and at 6.37
O'Clock the flyer was sent away on a
second trial. 1t mounted gracefully to a
height of about $50 feet and there start
ed on speed test. Each of the last four
rounds was made in less than a min
ute. They wehe in seconds, 68. 60, So.
So. 81 and 81. During these rounds Will
bur Wright, who had gone to the right
SIDE of the field, held his stop watch
OH the fight. When the 10 minutes were
up Orville Wright brought the aero
plane lower and lower and made a.
graceful landing. Wilbur Wright said
the speed of the motor had been in
creased from approximately 1900 rev.
olutions minute to 1400.
This is not the best speed that has
been made by u.s. said Orville Wright
this evening. We have made so miles an
hour with the machine when a 2O-mile
breeze was blowing.

The American Soldier.

General Fred Grant praised the
soldier at the banquet given to the
delegates to the Peace Conference.
He might have gone further and have
shown the debt that this nation owes
the American soldier.
Had it not been for the American
soldier we might have been taxed
without representation for half a
century longer Had it not been for
him the dream of American nationality
would have remained a dream to this
day.
It was the American soldier who
fought in 1872 to make citizenship of
this nation respected; to make its
rights and privileges a reality tn.
world over.
The American soldier in the forties
gave the nation an outlet to the Pacific.
He made us continental power. He
broadened the foundations on which
our future rested. He made possible
the America of today.
The American soldier in the sixties
preserved this republic from destruc-
ton. He kept us one great peaceful
power. Without him we should have
~ 'NSS q 6hOuP VI WdIIlIlS
leagues. He solved question that no
one else could solve
The American soldier stood forth as
the champion of humanity in the war
with Spain. He ended bloody and in
excusable atrocities. In one short
campaign he helped make peace to a
land that had forgotten what peace
was. He stopped forever such hideous
massacres as those of the Virginius
and the Maine.
Time has indicated his every
struggle. We see now that in each case
he was the chosen and necessary in
strument of present freedom and future
peace. His country asked much IF
him; he gave it without stint Elimi-
nate him from our history and you shut

1t is well to remember these things
1t Is fit that we should occasionally be
reminded of them. AS object lessons

Weight of the Brain.

Prof. Frederick w. Mott, lectufing
before the Royal Institution Of Great
Britain on 1.-THE Brain" said that al
though in 50 per cent. of the cases in
which the brains of great men had been
weighed the weight was above the
average, brain weight itself did not al
ways mean brain quality.
When there was lack of the function
ating tissue. the lecturer explained. the
structural material might receive more
than its normal share of nourishment
and the extra weight be due to over
growth of brain scaffolding." This ac-
counted for the very large and heavy
brains sometimes found in congenital
idiots. Pointing out that the brain
weight of race long civilized sur
passed that of aborigines. the lecturer
stated that whereas the ordinary
European hospital patient had
heavier brain than a savage, the
Chinese coolie laborers brain. daa
veloped by centuries of use, weighed
/ " ounces more than thatsDfs the
European hospital patient III
Referring to the relative BRAIN
weights of Caucasian men and women,
Prof. Mott said that the female brain
had good start. weighing nearly 1 rs
ounces more than the male brain at
birth. In adult life, however, the
average mans brain weighed about !:
ounces more than the woman's.
The average weight of the European
male brain was pounds Is ounces 9
dramS to 2 pounds Is ounces drains
and of the female brain 2 pounds 10
ounces II drains to pounds 10 ounces
Ia drains. Among savages there was
not this difference since in the struggle
for existence the female had to apply
her brain as fully as the male. hence II

The Antiquity Of Hats.

We owe to Asia all our manufactures,
not emitting the discovery of producing
felt. The hats which are so constantly
alluded to in Scripture were genuine
ones adorned by turban cloths, and not
mere turbans. as, for instance those
which were bound upon the heads Of
Shadrach. Meshach and Abednego
when they were cast into the Assyrian
furnace.
Today. upon the heads of Asiatic
Jews. you will see tall, narrow
cylinders of gray felt. surrounded by
colored handkerchief.
The HISTORIAN Christians of Kurdis-
tan wear felt hats very similar to the
Irish caubeen, while throughout the
Orient dervishes and takers affect tall
light hued felt head coverings.
During the Wars of the Roses, fair
danes wore hideous, steeple crowned
fabrics. and the progress of the hat IN
Europe was not wholly of a peaceful
character. There were cities in which

one object OF preventing further INJURY
being DONE" said Lieut.. Bevan.
Mr. Davis dwelt upon the details OF
the scene as Lieut.. Bevan first de-
scribed them until the judge advocate
objected saying: "Mr Bevan has an
severed these questions as best he car
presumably and don't believe any
good result or any result will be &C.
complished by going over and over the
same ground. Counsel has been al
lowed d very great latitude"
The court overruled the objection and
MIR. Davis continued to question the
witness about the immediate surround.
ing of the shooting. According to the
sum of Lieut.. Bevan's testimony the
members of the group he saw about
Sutton were Iieuts. 'Ctley, Adams
Willing and Sergt. Dehart.
Although you heard six shots after
Sutton left camp with two revolvers
when you reached him you still feared
he might have some shots in tho re-
volvers; you attempted to hold him to
the ground?" Mr.. Davis asked.
EYES," was the reply.
do you recall that Utiey or Dehart
said anything to you why they were
holding Sutton DOWN."
mo. 1 don't recall anything said,
they had been running some distance
and were out of breath. We were all in
the same condition.
II ordered Lieut. Adams to desist
from hitting Sutton which he did, inn
mediately, and stood back" added the
witness. He could not tell who said:
Sutton has killed Rocker" .
Under normal circumstances
would have recognized the voice of ev-
cry man except Dehart. but I didn't
recognize the voice at that time" he
said.
Lieut.. Bevan later said it might have
been Lieut.. Arams, but he was not
sure. 'a
whoever said it did they also say
Sutton had killed Adams?" asked Mr..
Davis. BE-
II don't recall so, but 1 would not
swear that they did not" was the an
swer.
The first time he saw revolver after
he reached Sutton was when he saw
the fash of the shot in front of Sutton's
head and Lieut. Willing reached over
and took the revolver from Sutton's
hand, the witness said.
DO you know what became of the
revolver after that?' asked Mr.. Davis.
mo, sir, 1 do not" replied Lieut.
Bevan.
You testified before that you
thought Sutton shot himself in the
forehead didn't you?" persisted Mr..
Davis. who read the testimony to that
effect from the record.
THAT was merely the impression
got at the time. didn't really know"
said Lieut.. Bevan.
Mr.. Davis asked the witness if his
present testimony was less accurate
than upon the former occasions.
IT have testified TO my best recollec-
ton on both occasions" Lieut.. Bevan
replied.
The witness remembered going for
DR.. Mccormick, for Lieut..
Rocker after the shooting.
Mr.. Davis finished his cross-examina-
ton. In answer to some questions by
Mr. Birney of counsel for Lieut.. Adams,
the witness said he saw no blows
struck after. he reached Sutton. He
could not tell accurately how far away
from Sutton's head the flash was
which he saw when Sutton shot him.
