TO chat from over the clouds is the
latest device in aeroplaning. 1t will
be done, if it is done, by virture of a
cross between wireless and the aero
plane. The Signal Corps of the United
States army has built set of wireless
instruments weighing less than seven
ty-five pounds. 1t is their fond hope
that this can be riveted on aeroplaneS
and dirigible balloons, and that talk
will then ensue from the sky cruiser
and the wireless land stations. When
installed in balloons, mica is wrapped
around the sparkling to prevent the
ignition Of the gas. 1t is feared that
the engine of the aeroplane will drown
the sputter of the wireless, but it
seems feasible with the dirigible
balloons.
1t is claimed by the Cologne Ca
zette" that Germany owns all the sue
cessful systems of airships. The recent
Cologne maneuvers showed a. combi-
nation of balloon and aeroplane which
will apparently make good war cruis-

The conditions today We're most fav-

sun shone brightly, tho the air was
slightly chilly. The banks of the
Thames were lined with thousands Of
enthusiastic spectators, and hundreds

cursion vessels sailed up and down

great gathering for advertising pur.

The crews aroused great enthusiasm
when they emerged from the bath

Cambridge won the toss and chose the
Surrey side. At the crack of the pistol
Oxford took the water first, rowing
thirty-nine strokes to the minute
against thirty-eight set by Cambridge.

Oxford Takes Lead.
Passing Hammersmith bridge Oxford
was leading, when a spectators boat
got in the way, causing the crew to
swerve to one side, enabling Cam
bridge to draw up on even terms.
Passing Barnes the boats practically
were level, but from this point Ok
ford drew away. Cambridge was be-
ginning to show signs of the great
struggle, but stuck gallantly to the
work, the Oxonians soon leading by
two lengths, which they increased to
two and one-half at the finish.

An Iowa legislature without Rankin
would be hamlet with the ghost very
fat.
Early In the session the railroads
were utterly helpless in the senate and
they permitted the senate TO send over
to the house a goodly number of bills
they feared. Owing to a change of
front on the part OF small but COM
pact group of democrats the situation
has suddenly changed and now the
senate Is completely in the grasp OF
the lobby. This fact was for second
time this week shown yesterday in the
disposal of the Swift bill to penalize
railroads for resorting to lawsuits ex-
clusively for delay. An effort was made
to amend the bin so that nothing
would be fft of it, and this failing, the
bill was given two less than the re-
quired majority for passage.
The house has passed bills for the
appropriations for the historical de-
partment. These bills make the state
librarian superintendent of the histori-
cal department, position now held
by Professor Shambaugh. raise the
salary of the curator from s1.4oo to
$1,000, take the archives department
away from the four state officers and
place it under the supreme court, and
gives a total of $1,000 year for sal
ary and expenses of a legislative refer
ence department. The state executive
council is relieved of the duty of aud
iting the accounts of this department..
There will be some difficulty getting
the bills thru the senate in just this
form.
The bill to place the library, historl-
cal department. historical society.
archives and geological survey under
the new board of education Is slumber-
ing in the senate. but 1t may come to
the top any minute. 1t would make n
radical change in these departments.
The most serious objection to 1t comes
from the people who patronlze the law
library and they are pointing out that
the law library has been built up un-
der the careful scrutiny OF the MEM
bers OF the supreme couN and that to
take the library entirely away from
the court and to treat 1t as merely a
business matter placing It in the
hands of persons who necessarily will
be much engrossed in other duties.
would probably result in great harm
to the law library, AS for the placing
OF the historical society and historical
department under one management
there would be serious objection from
many interested because ofNa belief
that this would ultimately lead to a
consolidation.
