curtiss on Future of Aeroplane.

Glen H. Curtiss expresses some doubt in guessing the probable out come of the development of the aero plane but it would not be surprising if within the next 10 or 15 years the ocean was crossed by an aeroplane. It will not. of course, be like the deli cately built machine of today, but a large. strong structure. with a body like boat which will float and stand rough wea r. It will rise from the water by means of hydro surfaces or water-feet, and fly with but little sus- taining surface by virtue of it's small head resistance and great speed A desirable speed for such a flyer would be above 70 or so miles an hour. It would be designed to alight on the sea, and in case of accident in flight could make repairs or continue the journey On the water. But even after this feat is accomplished experimentally it will take years more to develop that ma chine to a commercial state"

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THE LEGACY

peated for the generation of grand children. only to be again defeated and passed down through the years as a legacy of romance to those who bore the names.
 Now Betina spoke happily of the Likelihood of it's fulfillment, for younger John Choate had grown to mans estate and Betina's niece was very charming.
 John Choate listened with sudden feeling of age. There was a time when he had been openly faithful to the Betina of his own generation, and as he sat there he realized that he had always been faithful to her, for no other woman's face had ever cast a light across the even living of his life. l Could it be that the legacy of John and Betina might have been for him ] had he come back and persisted in his asking. The loneliness of the years grew suddenly big as he looked over at the little woman's face and saw the gladness of her life in every feature. His voice broke as he answered the question she had asked.
 I'm here at Toms for Christmas. My housekeeper declared that every soul ought to eat Christmas dinner with his own kin, and sent me off," he said.
 The tales they brought out of the past were full of memories that reck- oned not of time; they laughed togeth- CT over the old days of happiness; and the tears were close as they spoke of those now lying quiet in the grave yard.
 Finally John Choate found himself telling of his own life; of the struggles during those first years to push in the small end of the wedge and make it stay; of the joy his first success had brought, and of the influence he had gained among his fellow men.
 But as he talked the man found that in his heart the loneliness of his life was standing out against the big how much more these things might have counted with Betina 10 share them: of how little value they were in comparison to her own sweet pres ence! He wondered if he were too old, if the legacy belonging to his name has passed beyond his grasp. He got up and stood before the fire again, a tall, gray-haired man, and the tender strength was on his face that brought little children to his arms with but one word. Betina looked up and waited for him to speak.
 Tt is wound into my life somehow, Betina. The longing that makes ypu | fill my worldl"
 John Choate put his hands on her soft hair and his voice had the ten- derness. in it that had never been there | but for her near.
 Its the legacy for John and Betina," l sweetheart" he pleaded.
 Her lips trembled slightly and the | words came very slowly. i've wondered sometimes why I al- ways choose to stay here alone, but I guess, John. it must have been that was waiting for you"'-The Post.

rhe New Hopo for Ireland.

The Irish leaders have decided to accept at their face value MT. As- quits promises of some form of home rule for Ireland. It is fair to infer, therefore. that they have private as- surances that were satisfactory to them regarding the nature of the measures to be proposed and the time when they will be carried into effect.
 It is idle to attempt to forecast the result. Whatever it be the Irish have nothing to lose. Should the liberals carry the country by large majority they are bound by their promises to do something for Ireland. Should their majority be so small that they must count on the Irish members to keep

DEAR MEAT AND DESIRABLE
 VEGETABLES.

The late condition of the meat mar ket is making vegetarians faster than all the vegetarian agitators possibly could, for 1t has compelled the people to look for sustaining substitutes and to study the nutritive value of foods.
 Rice, which forms the staple food of more than half the human race, is growing in favor in this country, be- ing commended not only by its cheap ness and the great variety of ways in which it can be cooked, but by its nutritive value, which is equal to that of meat. Beans and peas served in various ways have proved to be rel ishable and dependable. The humble carrot, once grown only for food for cattle, has now become the favorite vegetable of the aristocratic rich. For, besides containing more nutriment than potatoes, and possessing proper ties of beauty most diversified, it is a skin beautifier of rare degree. Nuts, which used to be eaten as confections, have more nutriment than an equal quantity of meat; and fruits properly eaten contribute to the health and comfort of the people.
 These things are not all cheap. but they have been found to be profitable in many ways capd 10 contribute to one's physical well being in a way which meats do not.
 Dear meat is not such a public af- 1ietion as many honest people imagine

NEW BALLOON GAS.
German Scientist Working Out a Method of Reducing the Weight of Ordinary Coal Gas.

Some experiments carried out by Dr.
 ". von Oechelhauser, in conjunction
 with the German Continental Gas com pany in Berlin, with the object of pro ducing new kind of balloon gas. show the decomposition of ordinary coal gas in vertical retorts to yield in normal operation a balloon gas of a specific weight of about .225, so that to one cubic meter would correspond a lifting power of about 59 pounds per 1000 cubic feet According to the statutes and regulations of the Inter- national Association of Aeronauts, the lift of 1000 cubic feet of lighting gas has up to the present time been call culated at 45 pounds and that of hy- drogen gas at 65 pounds. Hence, by the assistance of the new gas d ball. loon of capacity of 1000 cubic feet would be able to lift If pounds. more
