Aeroplane at Fort Myer.

Washington, D. C.-Orville Wright
met the last exacting test of his aero
plane at Fort Myer, and for the first
time in it's history the Government
becomes possessed of flying ma
chine.
On straightaway course of five
miles and return, with a passenger,
Orville maintained speed of some
thing over forty-two miles an hour.
and won for himself and brother a
bonus of more than $4,000, in addi-
ton to the $4,000 contract price of
the machine. The elapsed time of
the fight, according to the official fig
ures, was fourteen minutes and forty
two seconds.
In addition Orville Wright estab.
lished new worlds record for ae-
roplanes in cross-country flying No
one has ever before flown across ter
ritory as rough and broken as lay
under the course, and never before
has fight of equal distance been
attempted by any aeroplana carrying
two persons.
Altogether 1t was the most remark
able performance of it's kind ever at

try, and of the 10000 people, includ-
ing President Taft, who witnessed ii

JAPAN'S GREAT CITY BURNS
Osaka, With 10000, Buildings,
Destroyed by Fire.
The Largest Buddhist Temple in the
World and the Stock Exchange
Are in Ruins.

Osaka, Japan-As a result of the
fire which swept a great part of this
city of 100000 inhabitants thousands
of persons were homeless and hunger
stared many of them in the face.
The number of dead and injured
could not be determined, but hum
dreds Of injured persons crowded the
hospitals.
The latest estimates are that 20,-
900 buildings were destroyed, these
including banks, the Stock Exchange,
the Museum, Government edifices and
factories. While it is impossible to
state accurately the money losses,
these are given roughly at several
million yen. It is feared that some of
the insurance companies will fail as a
result of the heavy losses they will
have to pay.
The confiagration lasted more than
twenty-five hours, and the burned sec
ton presented deplorable sight The
streets of the city are very narrow and
the houses were mostly of wood. I'm
der strong breeze, therefore, the
buildings were easy prey for the
flames, which jumped from one to an
other with great rapidity. Once hope
of stopping the fire was almost aban-
doned, but the firemen fought valiant
ly, in spite of lack of water and the
fury of the wind. Many of them fell
unconscious at their posts. Had not
the water supply been curtailed by
the existing drought it is believed the
fire would have been quenched with
out great damage.
The belongings of the people who
were able to save anything from their
burning homes were piled in great
heaps along the railroad tracks from
Osaka to Kobe.
All day long and far into the night
the male population assisted the fire.
men and the troops in quenching the
cont1agration. An area of over four
miles square, containing some of the
city's handsomest structures, includ-
ing the Buddhist Temple, the largest
in the world, was entirely burned over
before the fire was brought under
control. The Stock Exchange, which
was one of the most important in this
country, was entirely destroyed. This
loss, it is believed, will tend consider
able to dislocate the business Of Osa-
ka, which, with it's manufacturing
concerns, is one of the chief CONNER
cial cities of Japan.
Many touching sights were to be
seen during the. fire. The women
were terror stricken, and fed hither
and thither with their children, some
of whom were crying piteously for
food that could not be obtained for
them.

Meaning Of a Famine in China.
On account of heavy export of rice
during the winter and now for
months a severe drought, rice can
hardly be had at all, and other kinds
of eatables are very expensive. The
Magistrate has raised the price of
rice several times, but the higher it
becomes the less is forthcoming, as
those who have any to sell are keep
ing it in the hope of still higher
prices. Great focks of women and
children are daily to be seen search
ing the fields and hillsides for herbs
and roots to eat.
Two whole families in the city have
taken their lives for want of food.
They killed and ate their last
chicken, then, beginning with the lit
tie ones, each swallowed opium and
died. But for few wheelbarrow
loads no attempt worth mentioning
is made to import rice. The people
are very active in praying for rain,
and general fast has been ordered.
No meat, chickens or fish are to be
had on the street.

have been made in a brief period in
the science of aerial navigation is
borne in powerfully upon. us by a

visitors to go through the gates of
the Tia in the period of the exhibition.
Altogether it is welcome variation.
