one, except a few who were afraid of electricity because they feared lightning, placed an order to have their store, shop or home wired
 In less than years time the little lighting plant was supplying current for 34 enclosed arc lamps used in the stores and shops and over 1000 incandescent lamps at a cost of s55 a year each for the arcs and $15 a year each for the incan- descent lamps. The houses were all placed on a 15 cents lilowatt hour rate
 By judicious buying the young man In charge of the plant worked the fuel cost down to $3.30 a ton and as the plant stopped at midnight each night and did not run during the day the cost for main- tenance was very low. He was very stu dious and careful and kept the plant in such excellent shape that the bills for re- pairs came seldom and never amounted to very much. In this way the plant be- gan straightway to pay a handsome profit on the investment. Thus the young man secured a fine job at the profession he was devoted to and his money was invested so as to bring him large returns yearly. The man who made the remark about the fool and his money' and re- fused to invest in the concern in the be- ginning afterwards tried to buy some of the stock, offering a large premium. but so far as I know he never got cents worth
 And this is the story of the little vll- lage lighting plant which still attracts the attention of the railroad passengers as the train rushes through the night across the great Empire State.

Encouraued by Flint.

It was some time after this refusal on the part of the government that the Wright brothers came by appointment to the residence of Charles R. Flint, of New York MT. Flint had long been im- pressed with the importance of forehand- edness in matters concerning war. It was he who, prior to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, succeeded in ob- taining options on many vessels then under construction in foreign shipyards possible warships for this government and 1t was he who held the Russian governments power of attorney for $780, 100000 for the purchase of war material just previous to the Russo-Japanese war
 He had his eye on the Wright brothers from the beginning. So 1t happened that MT. Ulysses s. Eddy, of his firm, was visiting Dayton at a psychological mo- ment, and rendered an invitation to the young inventors to visit New York and breakfast with MT. Flint At the break fast many things were commented upon, from aviation. to the weather and back to aviation. The brothers impressed their sagacious host as earnest, practical men, who were not too scientific to ignore the importance of experimental work and not too experimental to undertake aerial flight without determining scientific possi- bilities and limitations. They also i'm pressed him as men who knew what they were talking about

These are not the exact words but 1t is the substance of the offer they made to the Washington authorities. They were willing to build the aeroplanes themselves and prove their claims as to the utility of the invention. This they were willing to do for sum that would enable them to continue their work upon the secret plans, and which they further agreed to turn over to the government. They received in reply a curt refusal to consider the proposition nor did it have time to send board to Ohio to investi- gate the claims of "a couple of cranks."

Wriaht Brothers snubhed.

Something like four years ago Will bur and Orville Wright, working upon their plans for aerial flights, conceived an idea that was almost an anachoronism in these days of get all you can and keep 1t. When they had fully demon- strated the utility of their invention they then realized that the net result, if turn ed to account, might make this country invulnerable to attack or certain of victo- " whenever a foe sailed the seas or set foot upon American soil.
 It was the first thought that came to the brothers. The possibility of com mercial gain, or great wealth, were ideas foreign to the little home circle of the quiet family. With that idea in view they indited letter to the War Depart ment This Is the substance of what they wrote:
 We have constructed an aeroplane that will navigate the air We offer this in- vention, the plans and construction of which are known only to us, to the ex- elusive use and ownership of the United States for a period of years, and at a cost which will enable the government to build 30O0 aeroplanes capable of carrying 200 pounds of dynamite for what is now one-fortieth the cost of single battle ship"

German Emperor Eager.

In the meantime the German Emperor was eager to get in touch with the Wright brothers. The secret of English lethargy in the matter was that the gov ernment had secretly contracted to get possession of a power-propelled dirigible aeroplane and have the demonstration prove a aasco This was bit of strategy that the war office concocted in order to give assurance to the people that the Count Zeppelin and German activities were not to be feared. Then, too, General Baden-Powell was making some experi- ments, and the English were averse to acknowledging Yankee supremacy in the air, or anywhere else.
 The Wrights were offering $1OO0OO to make a demonstration at the London stadium, an offer they declined, declar- ing that they were not shownen nor ex- perimenters

Riuhts for France.

A semi-offcial French banker, Lazard Weller, stepped into the arena and offer ed the Wrights s1oOOoO if they would make a flight of fifty ldlometers on French soil, with a view to purchasing the rights for France in the event of success.
 The tests were made at Pau The Wrights were paid S10O,000 and given 25 per cent of the stock of the French com pany, which form of procedure was car ried out in Italy, and also in Germany the latter country to be given the Wright patents and the Wrights methods this fall. The Washington government has now purchased one of the Wright aero planes, which 1t will fly at Fort Myer this summer.
 So after five years and the loss of it's great opportunity, the United States is to possess one aeroplane for war pur- poses; an aeroplane which it buys much as 1t would a piece of ordinance. For now 1t Is impossible to buy the rights that once were offered through prompt ings of patriotism

 Will you guarantee to fly 20OO miles?' asked the British authority by cable. Yes" cabled back the American rep resentative of the Wrights, flor $1,O00,- 000."
 "The war office will not take the mat ter up at this stage" wrote Haldane, Minister of War. The admiralty, how ever, took a keener interest in presenting the story of the trials and delays pre- vious to the successful negotiations in France and ultimately Italy and Ger many. The following letter, written by the English representative of the Wrlghts American agents, Is interesting
 T have just returned from admiralty and dispatched wire of this date, and now write full particulars Inclosed the letter of appointment My reception was most kind and encouraging, and Lord Tweedmouth appeared much interested and examined the printed account of Wright's aeroplane On the face of 1t he pointed out that the admiralty is pro- vided with a direct wireless telegraphy code and apparatus which Is by degrees being affixed to all their ships, which would entirely supercede the necessity for dispatch bearing by aeroplane.
 He suggested, however that if it were made strong enough and powerful enough to carry several shells. your instrument would become most useful, especially on land, for, said he, a sea aeroplane would hardly have time to drop the shell on board before the ship has passed from under the aeroplane.
 'He was struck by the promised trip starting from a ships deck and returning to it, but said a ships deck is a very small place to return to in midocean, meaning, I suppose, that the return to so small a spot was uncertain. I think that if the Wrights could make their aeroplane a weight carrier for men or shells 1t would greatly influence the war office in making a decision. Lord Tweed mouths manner toward the invention was much more cordial than Haldanes"
