"On the 18th of December, 1903, after
the boys had made hundreds and hun
dreds of experimental flights in their
gliding machine (rearly a thousand in
September and October of 1902 alone),
their first machine to carry a gasoline
engine made a successful flight. This
was at Kill Devil Hill, in the presence
of five persons, and it was the first
time in the history of the world that a
power-driven heavier-than-air flying
machine. with a ma aboard, ever left
this planet in successful fight. The
first fight lasted only twelve seconds,
but later the same day the machine
flew for fifty-nine seconds, covering a
distance of $50 feet against a twenty

If they would ever have made a flying
machine if it had not beer for the
sympathy and good sense of both their
father and mother. Mrs. Wright was
one of those rare women who can do
things with her hands. She used to
make bob-sleds and playthings for the
boys, and of course assisted them with
what they were trying to make. Every
sign of mechanical talent which they
showed pleased her. Orville Wright as
a little boy was always trying to work
out some kind of a cohtrivance, and
his mother encouraged him.
For instance, one of the earliest ac-
tivities Of Orville Wright was printing.
When he was only fifteen years old he

carried away by the bicycle craze, and
gave up their printing business and
set up a little shop for repairing and
making wheels.

"They took hold of the thing to-

theory Of the flying machine at odd
times. But still for fun. And still no
machine of any kind.
Although the most useful informa
ton they gained was obtained from
books and from practical work on the
problem carried on in their shop, they
also observed the birds and the winds.
1T was not long after they took ur

of consulting engineers to visit the
isthmus several times a year and re-
port to congress regarding conditions
there. with such suggestions from
time to time as the work OF construc.

Congress, they believe, would be glad
to have this outside expert informa-
ton, and the trip is expected to de.
velop some steps toward securing 1t

Deer Hunting Fatalities.

Twenty-nine fatal accidents &C.
Cured during the deer hunting season
in Michigan in 1908. These figures are
from the records Of the biological sur
vey, United States department of agri-
culture, and they show not only that
this number of men were killed but
that in this respect Michigan leads the
country. No other state killed as many
men during the open season for deer.
although some others killed more
deer.
Some of these fatalities were due TO
careless handling Of guns in the
camps, but the majority were due to
mistaking a man for a deer. while
none at all were occasioned by bullets
fired from high-power guns and COM
ing from such a distance that no one
knew who fired the shot This last
had been an anticipated danger, but
experience so far has failed TO demon.

the slaughter OF men i'm mistake for
deer has reached such proportions that
several of the states have attempted
TO legislate for the better protection
of hunters. The leaders in this are
Maine and Colorado, in both of which
no deer without horns may be lawfully
killed. The theory is that the hunter
who has to ascertain whether his pro-
posed victim has horns will also learn
in spite Of himself, whether IL is

Duty on Lumber.

Members of congress who are anx.
ious that the duty on lumber be re.
tanned are admitting that their case is
already lost. One of these gentlemen,
representing in part one of the big
timber states OF the far west, said
that there had been count of noses
in the house on the question of the
lumber tariff. After going through the
list or members on the Republican
side OF the chamber, only six were
round who were willing TO place lum-
Der ahead of everything else and block
tariff proceedings unless the duty were
retained. These include the three
members from Washington, the two
from Oregon and the one from Idaho.
All the others were either In favor of
abolishing the duty, or had several
schedules In which they were more
deeply interested than in lumber.

small Earmsr, l.ara nIt.

Information Is coming TO the state
house from various sections OF the
state that a great many small farmers
are being hit hard by the foot and
mouth disease embargo In a way that
has not heretofore been mentioned.
The small farmers, as is the Gus
tom. fattened stock, particularly hogs,
to sell when winter set In. They
counted on the money from this
stock to pay their taxes and meet
other end-of-the-year expenses.
Ordinarily the market price for hogs
Is based on Chicago and Buffalo
prices. Buyers from both Chicago
and Buffalo as well as from Detroit
are In the field bidding for stock. Now
that the embargo Is on, the packing
houses of Detroit and a few of the
other larger Michigan cities nave the
field all to themselves.
Farmers who have stock fattened
for the Christmas market must sell II
at the prices offered by the Michigan
buyers, or not at all. These Michigan
buyers, the farmers complain, TAX
ing advantage OF the situation, refuse
to give them within several cents a
pound of the Chicago and Buffalo mar
ket prices. The farmers must either
sell at these cut-rate prices or con-
tinue to feed the stock all winter or
until the embargo Is raised. Some OF
the weather. farmers through the
state are reported to be buying up
the poor farmers fattened stock At
the reduced rate.
