NATIONAL APPLE
EXPOSITION
EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR
GREAT EVENT AT DENVER
IN JANUARY.
ARRANGED
SPECIAL DAYS SET APART FoR
DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF
COLORADO.

Denver-With formal ceremonies in
the theater part Of the Auditorium. the
Colorado National Apple Exposition
will be opened to the public Monday
night, January 3rd, at 1880 O'Clock.
THE Growth of the Apple Industry in
Colorado" will be the subject talked
upon by some of the most prominent
men in the state.
After Monday, the exposition will
be open all day and until 1890 each
night. Aside from the general pro-
gram of the exposition, a special pro-
gram will be carried out each day in
honor of the different sections of the
state.
Tuesday will be Arkansas valley
day, the ceremonies for this occasion
beginning at 2 p. m. Talks will be
made by men prominent in the affairs
of that wonderfully productive section
of Colorado.
On Wednesday at the same hour the
western slope will do the honors.
Thursday has been set aside as ma
tional apple day, when addresses will
be made by men of national reputa-
ton in the apple world.
Friday will be northern Colorado
day. and Saturday Denver day.
Preparations for the big show have
aroused enthusiasm in all of the
states of the Northwest. The apple
growers of that section have heard
that Colorado intends to give the
other states fast race for honors, and
the growers of the Northwest realize
that they will have to select their very
best apples if they hope to win any
prizes in the Denver Auditorium.
Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska
and Missouri are sending some fine
exhibits, and ontario, Canada, has
heard the call from the Centennial
State and will compete for honors with
her far-famed Macintosh reds and
Rome Beauties. British Columbia has
been in line for some time and will
send the same kind of apples as those
from Ontario.
1t is expected that more than 12,OCO
boxes of apples will be on exhibition.

Manchester. Eng.-A 22-ton railway
car. 40 feet long, IS feet high and 10
feet wide, mounted not on regular
trucks but one single line Of four
wheels, with not a support but that
line of wheels. That's the first thing
to picture. Then put 40 passengers
inside the car and run the whole COM
bination around on single rail at 25
miles or more an hour, and you have
the spectacle that was presented be-
fore the Royal Society of England sew

grounds near Chatham. 1t was the
first public demonstration of the full

used, weighing three-quarters of ton
each, and making 5000 revolutions
minute in vacuum. A gasoline en-
gine furnished the motive power
through the means of an electric dy-
Lamo. MIR. Brennan was overjoyed at
finding that the stability of the gyro-
scopic principle was even more
marked in a full-sized model than in
a smaller one.
The principle of the gyroscope is
that of a spinning top. Some thirty
years ago Mr.. Brennan, who was then
IL Australia, became beset with the
idea that this principle could be ap-
piled to railroad construction and op-
GRAFTON in way which would revolu-
tionize land transportation all oyer

African Colonization.

Denver.-To make it possible for
negroes in America to migrate to Lii
IBERIA and there found a colony de-
voted to the best and special interests
of their race, is a scheme that has
been set afoot all over the country
simultaneously. After hearing an elo
quent exposition of the plan from the
lips of j. N. Walker. president of the
Colorado African Colonization Com
pany, the Methodist preachers of Den
yer at recent meeting promised to
help the plan in every way they can
The impetus of the idea in Colora-
do has been growing stronger and
stronger for long time under the
leadership of Mr.. Walker. He showed
that the movement is not to be clas-
sified as mere fancy, but has al
ready been started in concrete form.
In the last twenty-four years, accord
ing to statistics provided by Mr..
Walker, 10000 negro emigrants have
sought their new republic. Mr.. Walker
has personally aided 752 emigrants
from Western states to get low rates
for the trip.
He has helped in the new emanci-
patton" of III from Colorado, 307 from

1t has safety limit OF speed at about
seventy-two miles an hour. after
which spreading of rails and breaking
of wheel flanges become not only .os-
sible, but probable, except In those
cases where the equipment is kept at
its highest state of perfection. 1t was
this that led to the development of the
monorail, single-railed overhead
track from which the cars were sus-
pended. Not only was great deal of
friction thus overcome, but many of
lie common dangers were entirely
done away I'll. Nevertheless. the
suspended type of MOI orail was not
p-rfect. 1t had dangers of its own,
and besides this the cos. of construc-
ton was immense.
1t was figured that If single rail
could only be laid on the ground and
car or train run over 1t railway con-
struction would almost be made per-
fection. With a rail on the ground,
however, the center of gravity would
necessarily be above the line If sup
port. and gravity was on, thing which
man had never yet successfully over
come. Slowly the idea C; the s,in-
ming top and then of the gyroscope
worked itself out in the mind of the
inventor.
Louis Brennan was the inventor of
the Brennan torpedo, controlled by
the British war department. and as he
had been through some practical me-
chanical experience he started in to
develop the gyroscopc car. Anu in
May, 1907. he made his invention pub

Below the business form were the
written words: THE one and only
consideration therefor, to be the hand
of his daughter. Mary. to be mine, to
have and to hold from this day forth"
MacGregor tottered to a chair.
where he sat gazing at the precious
paper. In the hubbub nobody noticed
him; the children fingered about
Santa Claus. shifting at his empty bag.
longing to touch the hem of his robe.
He waved them away. signifying to
Malcolm to follow him out of DOORS
Here at the edge of the clearing, he
awaited the man and his daughter.
When they came ne said, still in the
disguised voice: MAY l hope, Mr. Mac
Gregor, that you will accede to the
PLAN"
Put her thar, Bud" and Mac Gregor
grasped his hand.
But he reeled and leaned against a
blasted tree for support when Santa
Claus, throwing OF the cap, revealed
the smooth-shaven, square-jawed face
of the teacher at Rabuns Gap.
Thank you, Mr. MacGregor," and
the teacher moved to Mary's side
Her father rallied to swear and say:
But l thought"
You thought you were swapping
your daughter for 20-acre lot.-and
you were not mistaken; the only mis-.
take is in the identity of the party,
and that will scarcely matter. Or.
perhaps. you prefer to let your friends
know that"
But nobody ever did know, and the
identity of Santa Claus was SO we'll

spring freshet rushed in and drowned
him. Anyway, he has never come

to marry Bud because he's promised
to buy the lot if you make me marry

thing-from that land to a collar for

The tiny black dog snoozing under
the counter heard his name and crept

him.

It's just because you haven't been

Pepper dropped from her arms as
she lowered over her father How

to a row of beans If you keep us in
the same old rut? Only to-day heard

because the nasty wet fog is what

All this while Mamie was slyly re-
