channel, was banqueted Wednesday
night by the Aeroplane Club of Lon

said that aeroplaning would cease to
be a mere sport and would have
practical use. He hoped that within
few months he would have created a
novelty which would transform the
English channel into very easy road,
which could be travelled pleasantly.
Travellers would be able to alight on

GERMANS ARE
JOLLY HOSTS
Officers Entertained at Tea and
Men Kept an Open
House.

Aboard the, cosy, homelike little
German cruiser Arcona, yesterday aft
ernoon, tea was served for a number
of guests of Captain Schroeder and the
officers, the vessel being artistically
decorated for the occasion. The upper
deck, eanopied and bordered with
flags and oriental lanterns, and set
with small tea tables. From the wharf
to the deck the guests walked upon
a palm bordered canvas, were received
at the gangway by an officer and file
of men, and escorted through the ward
room to the upper deck. The greet
ing of the captain and his officers was
most cordial and the guests were made
to feel that they were perfectly at
home.
The small tea tables were soon oc-
cupied by quartets and quintets of
guests, an officer presiding at each, and
tea and coffee were served by blue
jackets. The coffee was so well brew
ed that one cup did not suffice, fact
which pleased the hosts. Upon each
table was a pot of japanese dwarfed
trees and in each mound of earth was
the tiny standard of miniature flag
of a foreign nation. The cruiser band
played throughout the afternoon.
The tea was attended by many nota-
BILE visitors including Governor and
Mrs. Frear, Admiral Barry, e. S. N;
Captain Rees, U. S. N, and Mrs. Rees,
Captain Fitzherbert, of the British
cruiser Bedford; Acting German Consul

Thus is Ushuaia practically cut off from communication with the rest of the world; for, as yet, no wire sings its lone chant through the deep mountain forests behind the town, or creeps it's subterranean way fifteen hundred miles north to the Mecca of the South Ameri- can world, Buenas Ayres.
 Save for the settlement at Ushuaia two sheep ranches, three lumber camps an abandoned mining camp, and a few isolated settlers, these regions are weird and deserted. Here in the white hush of winter and gray cold of summer the penal colony lives and works. But the climate is healthy, and perhaps its very rigors are conductive to quieting the bloody passions which formerly predomi- mated and still seem to brood over many who live within it's confines.

THE SOUTHERNMOST
 TOWN IN THE WORLD

From Harpers Weekly.
 The seemingly hopeless inhospitable region of Fuegia, spurned as posses sion even by England has within de- cade been apportioned between Argen- tina and Chile. Longitude 6S degrees, 36 seconds, west, divides the area of Tierra del Fuego almost in half. The eastern part and the islands to the east were allotted to Argentina, the western part and all islands to the south and west to Chile.
 This was the region in which the cold Fuegian midsummer found me, anchored off a lone penal colony of murderers and feons. midway along the southern coast of Tierra del Fuego and three hundred miles south and east of Punta Arenas.
 Less than thirty years ago, a thousand to fifteen hundred Yahgans visited this bay every year. Now, in this innermost corner, where once glistened his village shell-heaps, lies a white mans town.
 The falling anchor splashed a mass of spray into the air and sent a flock of wild kelp-geese winging shorewards.

The Power of Sincerity.
orison swett Warden in Success Maga-

Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga-
 zine.
 Sincerity is made up of two words sine and cere-sine, without, and cere, wax; without wax. And 1t means ab- solutely pure, transparent.
 The human mind is constructed for truth telling. This is it's normal con dition and under the exercise of true living and true thinking the character becomes strong and robust.
 Wholeness, completeness comes into the life from truth, from sincerity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expressing deceit 1t becomes ab- normal and works all sorts of harm to the character.
 I have in mind a very brilliant writer who exchanges his talent for cash in political campaigns. He has written some of the best campaign documents for all political parties but the lack of sim cerity in his character so discounts his personality and ability that he has no standing as man. He is recognized as brilliant writer. but as a man totally without convictions.
 There is something in the mind itself which thrives upon sincerity and which protests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing ever quite satisfies this longing but absolute truth. The mind quickly becomes slckly and weak when forced to express what Is false.
