Hudson Ship, Under Sail, Runs Into
Fulton Steamboat.

NEW YORK, September 25.-It was
1870 o'clock when the Half Moon and the
Clermont left st. George, Staten Island.
The quaint craft was greeted by deafen-
ing outburst of whistles on the steamers
that dotted the upper bay SO thickly that
their pilots had to proceed with utmost
caution.
The Clermont. after reaching open wa
from her antiquated funnel and her I'M
covered paddle wheels beat the choppy
waves of the harbor into a froth as she
chugged along, putting and wheeling, at
the rate Of five miles an hour. The copy
Of Hudson's sailing vessel was towed be-
hind
In order that the Clermont need not
hold back the rest of the procession the
plan was to give her start on the faster
craft which could easily overtake her on
the way UP the river.
In the bay the Half Moon and the
Clermont were the entire show. Lieut.
Lam of the Dutch navy, .costunled as the
dfscoverer, was conspicuous figure or
the poop Of the Half Moon The rest
of the crew were in modern dress. The
Clermont took almost an hour to make
the trip of two miles from her anchor
age to the side of the Half Moon.
Half Moon Under Her Own Sail.
Hudsons ship, although In tow
started with all sails set and soon was
able to dispense with the tug. IA
voring breeze caught her canvas, the
towline was cast of, and, with cheers
from the thousands watching from the
State Island shore and the surround
ing boats, the two little vessels pro-
ceeded under their own motive power
The tug lowered close to the Halt
Moon. for her navigators were doubtful
of their ability to handle her except
with favoring wind.
Then occurred an accident for which
apparently. both vessels were to blame
The Half Moon. with her foresail UP and
the crew busy with the canvas on the
mainmast was moving slowly along in
the wake Of the Clermont. when off the
st. George ferry landing. at the north end
of Staten Island, something went wrong
with the machinery of the steamboat and
she came to a sudden stop. The pilot OF
the Half Moon tried to steer clear. but
failed. and the Half Moon struck the
steamboat broadside on the port side
abaft the paddle wheel. which is in the
middle of the boat. Immediately all sails
on the Half Moon were dropped and the
escorting tug hurried to her side. On the
ClermOnt Capt. Ulster Davis was shout
ing orders. but the machinery was jam
neither forward nor back.
Pulled Apart by Tug.
Slowly the tug pulled the Half Moor
away, for it was feared that both boats
might be damaged below the water line
and that their separation might clause ar

however, showed that the damage was
trining. The ornamental work on the cut
water of the Half Moon was smashed
nearly to the water line. but there was nc
structural injury. Her chain bobstay was
broken. About fifteen feet Of the Cler'
mont's rail was bent in and considerable
paint was scraped from the port side neal
the deck.
Sails were soon again hoisted on boarC
pIeton. The Ciermont dropped anchor of
St George to await the start OF the nava

Wrights to Sue Any One.
In fact. from the claims that have been
advanced by the Wrights, they are pre-
pared to sue any one who gets a machine
into the air at all.
An effort will be made by the Curtiss
element to bring the suit in New York to
conclusion as soon as possible. and
probably the other side will make all pos
sible delay. There are only two courts be-
fore which the case can naturally go. the
New York circuit court and the New
York court Of appeals, but there is pos
sibility of several years delay even in
doing that.
1t is almost impossible to get patent
case before the Supreme Court of the
United States. but it is understood that
an effort will be made to do even that.
1t is very difficult to predict how the
Wright-Curtiss case will come out. but

What Man Owes to Birds.

1T should be realized" said a nat
uralist, that without birds to hold in
check the insects vegetable life soon
would cease and life for man would
become impossible upon the earth.
Birds are natures check to the amaz-
ing. power Of insects to increase. If
insect life were allowed free course 1t
would soon overpower plant life, and
therefore animal life. including that of
man. would be impossible. This is an
astounding conclusion, but it is the
conclusion Of science. II the birds
were gone very soon the leaves would
disappear from the trees, and the limbs
would be festooned with the webs of
caterpillars or with masses of their
nests. These would move from tree to
tree, increasing by the million al they
advanced. In the course Of few
seasons there would be no trees. In
the fields other species Of insects would
destroy the grass and the grain and
all vegetable life. and the ground
would be as If "A sea Of devouring
mouths had passed over II" =
