SANTOS DUMONT FACTOR
IN WORLD OF AVIATION

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE temperance IN
the world of aviation of Santos Du-
mont with his remarkable perform
ance of yesterday. when he flew in a
aeropiane at speed of about IS miles
an hour, has attracted much attention
on account of the dimunitive size OF
the machine. His aeroplane weighs
with a pilot only 1S Kilograms (259.6
Ipounds). 1t has nine square yards of
surfaces as against twenty-five yards
in the Curtiss aeroplane, twenty-six in
the Blertot and fifty-three in the
Wright machine.
A twenty-c cylinder motor develops
twenty horse power and runs at the
rate of 1900 revolutions a minute
The most striking feature in the APP
pearance of this aeroplane is the short
and broad wing, tilted at a high angle.
1t has no tail and its general appear
ance is that of quail.
Little balls and angles of Irish lact

pipe funnelled craft in which Robert
Fulton first navigated the waters of
the Hudson river under steam propul-

today, when the reconstructed Cler-
mont. built for the Hudson-Fulton
celebration, had her official speed
trial from Mariners Harbor. Staten
Island, to Robbins Reef light in the
lower bay.
The distance travelled was six miles
and the elapsed time an hour and -four
minutes, which means that II history's
accuracy is to be preserved, the skip
per of today's Clermont will have to
reduce the speed of his vessel by near
ly an hour. for the Clermont of 1907
made five miles an hour.
The navigator was Captain Ulster
Davis, who will impersonate Captain

original Clermont during the forth

AN ADVENTURE IN A DINING CAR

AIN NV EIN OhG NV - OFNh
Not long ago 1 took a ride in one
of the excessive fare trains which the
eastern railroads are SO fond of run
ming. The principle of these roads is
to charge you an ordinary fare while
the train is standing still and for every
mile and hour extra you pay a little
bit more.
This train was magnifcently fitted
up, and, like all other such trains.
carried a dining car. AS it was a
short train it only carried a half-sized
dining compartment, but they managed
to crowd full sized prices into it, The
car was beautifully done in Flemish
oak in the latest style, but the passen-
gers were done in the same old style
which has always given the best of
satisfaction to the company.
The car was crowded when 1 en-
tered, but l secured a seat next to the
window. This was lucky, because 1
had three full courses of scenery be-
fore the waiter saw me. They use
double track scenery on this road, but
they would do better if they double
headed their walters.
After 1 had eaten two napkins and
the bill of fare l was approached by
burnt sienna potentate. He was the
other waiter in our little transaction.
He was a good waiter, too. He was so
expert that he could spill coffee on
people on both sides of the aisle at
the same time from the same cup
l could not afford to eat very much,
as the prices were very high. Some of
the dishes cost as much as rs cents
portion. The company was mistaken
about the portion, too. 1t wasn't a por-
ton. 1t was a particle.
The man who cut my piece of pie
was an expert at compound fractions
I ordered three chops and hunted four
minutes before 1 found them under the
Saratoga potato.
Meanwhile three men in the back of
the car were adding up my bill. AS
soon as the waiter brought my meal
| finished and began waiting for the
detailed statement of damage. When
1T came / offered two compromises. l
offered to pay S. more and take the car
off their hands or to issue first mort
gage refunding bonds and spend the
change in another chop.
They compromised by adding 10
cents to the bill which the adding ma
chine had baked on.
When 1 had paid up the waiter who
had brought in my meal on a pin tray
appeared with wheelbarrow.
Haven't you forgotten me?" he asked.
why, you're the little boy who went
after my chops" l replied cordially.
How you have grown!"
This was joke, but l had to laugh
at it all by myself.
