Air NAVIGATION REcocNizEo.

The government has long been en-
couraging the invention Of heavier
than air ships which the Wriglts have
finally brought to recognition and per-
manent use.
Congress has appropriated three
fourths of a million for airships in
the army appropriation bill, which is
Just keeping in step with England,
France and Germany.
Count Zepplins airship has been the
most wonderful flyer yet sent UP. as
it stays up many hours and goes from
and returns TO it's station like a mo-
tor carriage.
In the demonstrations made Of the
aeroplane of the Wright brothers at
Fort Meyer last summer, there was
sufficient suggestiveness Of the uses to
which the flying machine may be put
to render 1t imperative that the Unit
ed States government should be in a
position of preparedness to take adj
vantage Immediately of new develop
ments. The possibility cannot be ig-
nored that the airship within a few
years may be able to put the most
powerful battleship that floats in wa
ter instantly out Of service. Fifty
pounds of dynamite accurately drop
ped from a height Of 500 feet in. the
air upon the deck of a Dreadnought,
would demonstrate the Inappropriate
ness Of the name.
While the bill was lodged by a great
many representatives, there appears to
be no reason why the government
should not keep abreast of the times,
in air navigation as well as wireless
telegraphy and other things.

TO SELL ESTATE.
Yale University Tries to Dispose Of
Prospect Hill Property.

Yale has decided to sell at least a
part of the land on Prospect Hill, which
has been held till the university could
find some specific use for it. None lie
in sight, and the university. harrassed
by clamors of taxation from the city, is
making plans to place a part OF the
property on the market. The land enl-
braces rs acres of the most desirable
residential section Of the city. 1t is
bounded by Prospect, Gamer, st. Ro-
nan and Highland streets and is esti-
mated at between $150,000 and $780,
600 in value. The city has grown so
fast in recent years that there are COM
paratively few building lots in its lin
its. and the fact that Yale holds this
large tract, without definite object, has
aroused criticism from residents, be-
cause university property is not sub
ject to taxation. The land was given
to Yale by Oliver Winchester, founder
Of the Winchester Repeating Arms
company. He presented II for astro-
nomical laboratory purposes. The uni
versity authorities feel certain that
only part Of the land. II any, will be
needed for the purpose named, and will
sell the rest.

AS GOOD AS RICE BIRDS.

1t has been disclosed by the Danbury
Evening News that in that section of
the state the English sparrow is as
good on toast as a rice bird and per-
haps they might equal the rail for
bird pie building.
The News says THE hunter said to
its reporter that he was gathering
enough Of the birds to make a pie,
and he said that sparrows were just
as good TO eat as rice birds. Asked
if he was aware that there was city
ordinance which prevented hunting in
the city limits, or the discharge Of
firearms, he said the birds were on
railroad property and he had received
permission to kill them. He hoped to
be able to secure enough to make a
large pie and it was evident that he
did because he ceased shooting a few
minutes later"
The plentifulness of the birds here
abouts ought to prompt bird pie lovers
to try the experiment. The opportuni-
ties for killing the birds are so many
that the requirement Of bird pie
ought not to be a difficult task.

KEEPING THEM GUESSING.

Governor Lilley is celebrated for
keeping his own counsel and those
who are anxious concerning the ap-
continents to be made get no com
fort.
The Courant, commenting upon the
situation, says:
over east they have been talking
of Frank T. Brown OF Norwich as a
possibility in case the two new seats
were constructed. Mr.. Brown in a
modest way has let it be known that
he is not an applicant. The fact is
well known that, if he had had any
desire to be superior court judge,
he would have been appointed by
Governor woodruff. It is generally
understood that the position was
offered to him. Mr.. Brown is univer-
sally conceded to be the leading law
yer east of the Connecticut river and
he would grace the bench superior
or supreme, as might be. It is one
thing to offer a man of his practice
a job and another to get him to take
it.
Indeed, it is not everybody to whom
even the chief justiceship is offered
who jumps at it. It may not be re-
membered now that when Morgan G.
Buckley was governor he offered that
highest office in the state to Nathaniel
Shipman, Charles E. Perkins and
Charles ]. Cole, and not one of the
three would say yes. At that time,
however, the office did not carry the
salary that now goes with it. There
is an abundance of guessing what
Governor Lilley will do, and appar-
emily he is going to let them guess
until he is ready to tell"
Governor Lilley said on Tuesday: 81
am looking for the tallest legal tim
Der in Connecticut, and my intention
is to give the positions to the best
qualified men that I can get to take
the judgeships. have not promised
any man, and have not fully made
up my mind whom I shall appoint"
In this the governor is pleasing the
people regardless of their political
proclivities.

HUMAN LLEE HELn cHEAp.

Lynchings and brutal and cowardly
murders are everyday affairs in this
country, and the per cent. of convic-
lions and executions are so small that
the crimes against the lives Of the
innocent seem to be on the increase.
It is nothing unusual for aged per-
sons to be murdered for their money
as couple was at Easton, Pa. last
week; and a man on his way to get
medicine at night for a sick child in
a New Jersey town was held up and
killed. There is no "unwritten law
for the widows and orphans, or be-
reaved parents, while there is too
much of it for the dissolute charac-
ters and emotionally insane murderers
of their fellow men.
Every time there is travesty upon
justice like the Hams trial human life
in this country is cheapened and Judge
Lynchs methods of dealing with cit
izens encouraged This letting men
guilty of the most deliberate murders
escape upon special pleas Is dis
grace to the courts and to the coun-
try.
A hard-hearted murderer like Hams
laughs at a soft-hearted jury like the
one which acquitted him. 1t is time
that public sympathy stood for the
protection of life and the support of
law and order. When it does muir
ders will begin to decrease and cow
ardly villains will cease to laugh at
the law and to take the settlement of
AFFAIRS into their own hands.

Bradford had three weaknesses at
Lennox that summer, each one excel
lent in its way, but combined-they
combined against him.
There's no harm in a camera, ex-
cept to q pocketbook; there's no harm
in a bicycle; there's no harm in a
girl.
But the girl had said, do you
know, Mr.. Bradford, you look uncom-
monty well on a wheel" That was
why Bradford had been busy for two
days with his best instantaneous
shutter and very long string.
He chose an Ole road, little frequent
ed by riders and drivers, where he
would not be liable to interruption,
and spent a great deal Of time in
choosing the best point of view and
fixing the tripod firmly.
The focusing was again a matter
of the incest Judgment. Then he set
the shutter lightly across the road
and fastened the strings end to a
little bush in such a way that the
pressure Of the wheel across it would
set the shutter off without jaring the
camera.
Then he gave few touches to his
hair mounted Fis wheel and took a
short run through the trees, coming
back and passing neatly across the
string. He had scowled at the cam
era,
"Fu try again" said Bradford, set
ting the shutter and putting in an
other plate. I'll keep my mind on
her, and then | won't worry about the
shutter so much"
He thought Of her as he wheeled off
to take another start, and in thinking
he leaned forward and passed the
brown string at a scorching gait. And
she hates searching" he murmured,
discouragedly.
He set the camera once more. ITS

Hoods Sarsaparilla effects its won
derful cures, not simply because 1t
contains sarsaparilla but because it
combines the utmost remedial values
of more than 20 different ingredients,
each greatly strengthened and en-
riched by this peculiar combination.
These ingredients are the very reme-
dies that successful physicians pre-
scribe for the same diseases and all

spoke about 1t feelingly.
I'll just see what I've got" he re-
marked to the man as he went into the
dark room after dinner, because I
promised one to a friend, but car
riage came along and spoiled my only
good chance; Say, you want to come ne
idler entered the stuffy little closet.
They're Just as I expected" he con-
tinued. as the first two exposures came

little slower in coming because the
light got so thin, and 1 don't care
about 1t anyway. It's a wonder that
the horse cleared the string. He might
have tangled the string about his foot
and brought the camera down smash.
People oughtn't to go driving careless
ly like that along an unfrequented
road.
"Ah. here It comes! Cad, but it's to
be a pretty negative! AS soft as vel
vet; focus was q little too sharp on
those others; and here they've had the
brass to come along and take my
plate. It's q man and a girl, Of
course"
The disdain Increased in Bradford's
tone. Il might have known IL was a
man and a girl He's got his arm
around her too. Bah! Cad! / believe
he's kissing her." Bradford smote the
table in delight. eff it's only someone
around here won't it be treasure!
Yes; I'll take it out of my hypo in
minute. Just pour the developer back
into the big bottle on your left-thats
it."
The sound of the bath, poured from
the tray into the graduate, and from
the graduate into the bottle, was the
only sound in the dark room, except
the little drip of hypo into the tray
as Bradford finally lifted the plate full
to the red light. 1t was a beautiful
picture-the best one he had ever
taken. He gazed at 1t an instant, and
then, as he recognized the girls feat
ures, he let it fall shivering on the
hard. stone floor. That's the end of

exclamation of dismay, splitting de-

The empire style is particularly pref

and an exceedingly dainty model cut on
these lines is here illustrated. 1t is de-
veloped in light blue and white dotted
challis, and the yoke and front panel

this yoke, the joining being hidden by

with narrow black velvet ribbon, or
namented with small bows either side
of the front, and finished with a small
bow at the center-back. the ends of
this bow extending TO the hem of the
skirt. The square Dutch neck and
short sleeves are trimmed with the
ribbon-run bending, and, If desired, the
model may be developed with high
neck and long sleeves. In this case
the beading should be used on the col
lar and wristbands.

CIRCULATION
SO. CALLED EXPERT EVIDENCE.

AS conducted in the courts the So
called expert testimony has become a
farce because of the character Of the
handwriting experts, medical experts
and alienists who for special fees have
been willing to antsgonize and swear
out Of court the class Of men who
support the state until tEis Is now
REGARDED as & form Of recognizable
but uncomfortable corruption.
The New York State Bar association
has como out against It for the pur-
pose Of limiting the number OF ex-
perts who shall be called, not as wit
nesses. but as appointees Of the court
70 get at the true facts. and to be
paid BY the county the sum fixed by
the court, no witness being entitled
to more than one ordinary witness fee.
To quote from a report Of the bar
committee, which led to the subse-
quent draft Of the bill and presenta-
ton TO the assembly:
Tt is within he power OF judges
at nisi prius to require a greater
degree of competence upon the part
of persons claiming to be experts by
the simple but effectual method Of
defining to jury with force and pre-
cision the distinction between a wit
ness proved to be thoroughly quail
fed to speak upon the subject regard
ing which his testimony is offered and
one whose claim to speak is predi-
Gated principally upon the fact that
he is paid TO do so.
III trial judges will pursue this
course and are sustained in so doing
by the appellate bench, courts of JUS
ties win be rid Of corrupt and worth
less so-called experts, provided the
Judges themselves are animated
solely by a wish to see justice prop
erly administered"
To emphasize the thoroughness OF
the committees deliberations, we
shall quote a few more lines, in con-
clusion, as follows:
Nor is the bar blameless. Not only
do some Of its members connive at
the hiring of corrupt and incompetent
so-called experts, but they artfully
and selfishly cultivate and largely are
responsible for the fallacy that a wit
ness Is to be discredited if he can be
disconnected ('rattledD. Sci
entific opinion, to be of controlling
value, can be given only under con-
ditions OF mental rePose."
This is a commendable movement
on tho part Of the New York State
Bar association, and It ought to spread
through all the states of the union.
Machinery to defeat the ends of JUS
tice should be reduced to the mini
mum.
