TO FLY TO NEW YORK.


Gustave Whitehead, the inventor of
the flying machine, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, who recently few half mile
successfully. is now engaged III con-
structing new machine, in which he
proposes to fly to New York. He said
the other day: ''My success in flying
with the first model, which is rough
and cumbersome. has induced me to
build another machine, which will be
larger and strong enough to carry two
men. l shall fly to New York on my
next trial. am confident that l can
fly that distance with my new machine.
l will then have my new acetylene-
chemical pressure generator ready. l
can carry enough calcium carbide.
which is the fuel used, to fly for 20
hours. That is more than enough to
fly to New York with. My present ma
chine ! am going to take to Atlantic
CITY to exhibit and shall demonstrate
its pract;cability there as being able to
carry man"
inventor Whitehead has received
scores of letters since the articles on
his successful flight were published
from scientific men III all parts of the
country asking all sorts of questions
and for descriptions of the machine.
He has two expert machinists now
working on the new machine and
money will not be spared in making 1t
the acme of lightness and strength.

NEW ELECTRIC YSTEM.
Test Of Railroad in Italy ON Which
Speed of F0rty-F1ve Miles an
Hour IL Attained.

The first test of a new system of
electric traction is reported in the
Electrical Review as having surpas sed
the expectations of the installing en-
gineers. This is the system that re-
Gently attracted so much attention in
London, on account of its low bid for
the electric traction work in that city.
A spondent in Italy, where the
installation has just been completed,
saws that a speed of As miles an hour
was secured without any serious jar
ring, and that trains of five. cars were
easily transported at this speed even
on decided grades. The dynamos work
perfectly at $1,000 volts on a line 67
miles in length. The engineers are par
ticularly well pleased with the be-
havior of the electric automatic ap-
planes.
This new me thod of electric traction
is what is known as the high-te n sion
polyphase system, and the results of
these tests have been awaited with
much interest by electric railway in
terests in general.

Nikola Tesla. the inventor, received
word the other day that the COM
plicated apparatus he has devised for
the transmission of electric energy
to all quarters of the globe is COM
pleted. incidentally these instru-
ments are available for the sending
of telephone messages without the
aid of wires, but this is only one item
in the incredible labor which the
Servian has planned his mysterious
mechanisms to perform.
Three stations have been arranged
for on the other side of the Atlantic

one in Germany. By the end of Sep
TENDER it is expected that all the
mechanism requisite to the trans
Atlantic service will be in position.

SEX THAT EATS PICKLES.

Il always thought" said a waiter.
according to the Chicago Chronicle.
that the stories about women being
such great pickle eaters were just
jokes told by people who thought they
we're funny; but one Of my first ex-
periences as a waiter taught me in a
very simple manner that the stories
were true.
This was in a restaurant where we
had many women customers. one side
of the restaurant being for men and
the other side for women. On the
women's side we used to have to Ell
up the pickle jars that stood on the
tables every day, while the jars on the

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-

church lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer

way should try DR.. Miles Anti

instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-efects, as
they do not derange the stomach

o. 8. AGAINST THE WORLD. =
Prof. Suess. Eminent Publio1st and
ist, Discusses Our In
dustRial Prsponderance. II.

Prof. Edward Suess, the eminent
publicist and palaeontologist, has
given an interview respecting the in
dustriai and political preponderance
OF the United States that attracts
much attention, especially as it con-
firms the anti-Ame rican views of con-
tinental manufacturers and econo-
mists.
The professor, surveying interna-
tional relations from the standpoint
of political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
occasioned by the abuses of the privi-
legged classes the present situation has
been caused by a revolution of material
conditions. The declining national
sentiment should be replaced by
movement for the common defense of
the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
to conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by tleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. 1t was serious question if the
present political units of central Eu-
rope were strong enough to make an
effective defense, taking into account
the physical conditions. The present
shifting Of the center of gravity Of the
worlds forces would create three
| great units-China, Russia and Amer
lea. When China was equipped with
railroads the people would find that
she had the most capable merchants
and the cheapest Dor. Russia would
have the largest army and be the great
est peasant state. European capita
would flow to the United States ant
would be an important increase O
her economic prosperity. OF the three
tbs United States had decidedly tn
lead. Its policy was commercial, ag
gression, beyond doubt, and states Xix
the American union and Russia ha
gained far more in the way of the INC
biliza ton of their powers from tn
construction of railroads than sue
countries as Germany and France.

Lowell from Flagstaff, Ariz., stating

Emergency Aid in Mills.

Nearly all Of the metal working plants
in Pittsburg and vicinity are admirably
equipped with hospital annex for cases
that require speedy and prompt atten-
ton. The distance of hospitals from
some OF the works renders 1t possible
that an injured man is liable to expire
from exhaustion before he is admitted
to the institution. To obviate this the
owners have fitted up room or building
where injured and sick employees can be
treated at once.
