States is not likely to make great pro-
gress in aerial navigation during the
next fiscal year as result of any en-
&C engagement offered investors by Con-
g1esS.
Last year General Allen, chief sig
nal officer advocated an appropriation
of $500,000 for experimental work and he
succeeded in not only having that es-
innate sent to Congress by the war
department. but in having it faVorably
acted upon by the committee of the
whole House, only to meet defeat be
fore the appropriation bill was passed
by the House itself. This year there
is such closing pairing of all estimates
that it is not likely that any money
Will even be asked for this purpose.
The board of ordnance of the army
now has $4,000 for airship experiments.
$4,000 to be paid to the Wright broth
ers if they succeed in making q flight
of 10 miles at the rate of Sc miles an
hour, carrying one person besides the
operator and $4,000 to A. Nj. Herring
if nc meets practically similar require
ments. This will be the end of expert
mental work unless some interest in
aerial navigation is shown by Congress
in the form of liberal appropriation.

Washington, July 22.-The area of
Alaska is so great that the United
STATES Government maintains five agri-
cultural experiment stations in the ter
ritory so situated that crops may, be
tested under all the climatic conditions.
Sitka, on the strip of coast projecting
southwest has fairly mil climate.
while the station at Rampant is close

special agent in charge of all the sta

Sergt. James DeHart, of the Marine
Corps, the last witness at today,s ses-
sion, testified that some officer at the
scene of the shooting handed him a

not see who the officer was. DeHart
soon afterward threw the revolver In
to the bushes on his way to the bar

next morning, could not find it. he tes-
titled DeHart, bright appearing, and
hardly more than boy, created con-
siderable amusement in court by
frankly admitting he had been out with

He said, however, he knew what was

hold him down. k-...-~.-s-
Lieut.. Bevan had previously testified
that he was. He was making his way
to camp by "a back entrance" when
he met Sutton prior to the shooting
DeHart said that Sutton carried, two
revolvers and that he, DeHart, did not
stop to talk with him long. The wit
ness did not know about the trouble
Sutton had had in camp. but thought
something was up when he saw the
two guns. Soon afterwards DeTIart
heard the shots and ran back to the

markable variance in the testimony Sof
some of the naval officers who are wit
nesses before the court of inquiry in
VeStigating the circumstances sur
rounding the death of Lieut. James y.
Sutton at the Naval Academy two
years ago was emphasized at today 5
hearing by contradictory evidence as
to the location of the bullet wound
which caused the young mans death
The question OF the location of the
wound has assumed Importance in the
face of other evidence given, as il
would have been much more difficult
matter for Sutton to have shot him
self, lying prone on the ground with
three men on top of him, if the bullet
entered the top of his skull, as Sur
geon George Pickrell, in charge of the
Marine hospital at that time, who eX-
amined Suttons body, testified it did
Col. Charles A. Doyen, commanant OF
marines at that time, testified that he
examined Sutton's body Immediately
after the shooting, felt the wound in
his head, and that it was located on
the right side, a little behind and on q
line with the top of the ear. DR.. Pick
rell thought Sutton might have inflict
edthe wound upon himself, as he de-
scribed it, but he made an unconvinc-
ing and awkward demonstration in
court with the revolver and a free arm,
to get the weapon in a position which
would have sent the bullet into his
head at the point where he testified i:
entered Suttons head.
Lieut.. Willing, whose cross-examina-
ton by counsel for SuttOn's mother
was completed today, made an obstin-
ate and unsatisfactory witness under
ross-examination. The few discre-
pancies which Mr.. Davis drew from
him by reading the record of his de-
scription of the scene of the shooting
at the former inquiry, were readily
conceded by Lieut.. Willing, with the
remark that he testified from the best
of his recollection on both occasions
Mr.. Davis tried to find out from all
the witnesses today what became Of
Sutton's two revolvers following the
shooting. Col. Doyen testified that he
saw them and ordered Lieut.. Willing to
take charge of them, but he did not

GREATER THAN NIAGARA.
The leuazu Waterfalls In South Amer
ica Leap 213 Feet

Larger than Niagara is the cataract
of the Iguazu Falls, almost at the in
tersection of the three frontiers OF
Paraguay, Brazil and the Argentine
Republic, says the Chicago Tribune
The river takes it's name from Span
ish word meaning great waters.
About twelve miles from its mouth
the bed drops suddenly down a rocky,
perpendicular cliff, some 213 feet high,
hence there is waterfall Of that great
height. At this spot delightful lit
tie island, beautiful with vegetation,
divides the river into two arms so that
the total width is about two miles and
a half The Brazilian arm Of the riv-
Ell forms a tremendous horse shoe here
and plunges into a great chasm with
a deafening roar, while the arm on the
Argentine side spreads out in a sort
Of amphitheatre form and finishes with
Cne grand leap little over 229 feet.
Below the island the two arms unite
and flow on into the Parana river.
From the Brazilian bank the specta-
tor, at a height of 2SO feet, gazes out
over two and a half miles of some Of
the widest and most fantastic water
scenery he can ever hope to see.
Waters stream, seethe, leap, bound,
froth and foam, throwing the sweat
of their agony high in the air and
writhing, twisting, screaming and
moaning, bear off to the Parana." I'm
der the blue vault Of the sky this sea
of foam, Of pearls, Of iridescent dust
bathes the great background in
shower Of beauty tnat all the more adds
to the riot Of tropical hues already
there When a high wind is blowing
the roar Of the cataract can be heard
nearly twenty miles away. A rough
estimate of the horsepower represented
by the falls Is 100000.
Few sightseers ever catch a glimpse
of the great IguaZu Falls, because 1t
takes six days to make the picturesque
journey Of about 1850 miles from
Ruenos Ayres amid the fair fertile
plains Of Santa Fe and the savage lux
uriance Of the virgin forest, passing
through the territory Of the. missions
and the ruins OF Jesuit churches and
converts.

To be Continued
MoToRBoATS FOR WAR.
Distances They May Travel and Their
Possible Speed.

"Motorboats can easily travel 1000
miles with an average speed OF 22
miles an hour" said Robert F. Edge
of London, England, to, a Washington
Post reporter. Mr.. Edge is interest
ed in the construction of motorboats
for naval warfare, and, continuing his
observations, he said: Enormous as
this radius of action Is, I believe that
a person will have to live only to
reasonable old age to be able not only
to cross the English Channel as he
does now by a motorboat, but the
Atlantic ocean as well"
AS to the use Of the motorboat in
naval warfare, Mr.. Edge said: The
possibilities are enormous and the
advantages supreme. Owing to the
speed at which it travels-25 miles an
hour can be kept up now, which is
the beginning of marine motoring-t
is next to impossible to hit motor
boat with a big gun. The smoke from
an enemy's gun, after shot has been
fired, can be seen, and in the interval
before the proJectile can reacn the
boat there would be time to stop 1t or
alter its course. The lightness of the
boat and the consequent absence of
momentum allows it to stop practi-
cally when the engine is stopped. In
motion the boat is almost invisible.
1t lies down in the trough of the
waves, or in the track cut by itself as
it progresses. Herein lies its great ad-
vantage for scouting or going out to
view the enemy, who can be seen
without the knowledge that they have
been watched. The motorboats offer
the only means so far devised Of at
tacking an enemy's submarines. Be-
hind a motorboat a torpedo can be
trailed, the submarine outside port
sighted and exploded, and a rapid re-
turn made without giving the enemy
q chance of retaliation. A motorboat,
moreover, is practically immune from
attacks by a torpedo"

Mr.. Grant leaned forward slowly, and

which urges you to exchange a paltry
million for a fortune, but it seems to
me that you are forgetting the condi-
tions." he said slowly. Has 1t accur-

to spend a million dollars without in
some way violating the restrictions in
your uncle's will, thereby losing both
fortunes?"
