Makes Successful Landing After Cross.
ing Wide Stretch Of Water.
Dover, July 26.-This sleepy seaport
town experienced the keenest thrill
known In a generation when at sum
rise Sunday morning a white winged
birdlike machine, with loudly humming
motor, swept out Of the haze obscuuing
the sea toward the distant French coast
and circling twice above the high
chalky, cliffs Of Dover, alighted on
English soil. A Frenchman, Louis
Bleriot, portly and red mustached,
calmly descended from the saddle,
limping on a bandaged foot which had
been burned on his previous overland
flight. Immediately two compatriots,
who had been waving big tri-
colored flag as signal for the landing
place, fell upon him enthusiastically,
embracing him, shouting and pounding
him on the back. They with few
soldiers and others who happened by
chance to be on the scene, were the
only persons to witness the finish Of
remarkable feat.
Bleftot left Les Baraques, three miles
from Calais, about a. M, on one of
the smallest monoplanes ever used. He
crossed the channel in twenty eight
minutes. twice as swiftly as the fastest
mail boat. His speed averaged more
than forty-five miles an hour, some
times 1t approxirnated sixty miles. He
kept about 250 feet above the sea level
and for ten minutes, while about mid
channel, was out of sight Of both coasts
and the French torpedo boat destroyer
which followed him with his wife and
friends aboard.
The wind was blowing about twenty
miles an hour and the sea was 1choppy.
The aviator was swathed in a single
garment Of drilling impervious to the
wind, which covered him from the top
of his head to his feet, only his face
showing. He wore also a cork life belt.
An eye witness Of the landing thus
describes 1t:
Every early in the morning wire
less message was received saying that
Rleriot intended to make the flight.
Then came the news that he had left
land, that he was flying high and was
fast making for Dover. It was ex-
pected that he would land west of Dow
er, but from the direction taken it was
evident that he would alight to the
eastward. Only few minutes after
the wireless announcing the start, the
laconlc message out of sight was re-
ceived at Dover. Hardly had this been
transcribed when the keen eyes of the
coast guard, scanning the sea with his
telescope, shouted that Bleriot was
within sight.
Fastening to the cliff east of the
bay was fortunate enough to arrive
just a moment before the airship,
which was flying fast, like gigantic
hawk. The craft approached the cliff,
growing larger every instant The noise
Of the engines was audible in a mo-
ment, 80 swiftly did it come. BIerlor
swooped overhead, glancing from right
to left, and then turned his machine
to the east and came to the ground
in the. meadow. It circled with con-
summate- ease and made the landing
gracefully. but. even tho it touched the
land lightly, 1t was slightly damaged"

Charbon has afflicted cattle for CEN

country. 1t was known to the ancients
in Egypt and often scourged the Ash

by germ which enters the animals
