CHAPTER xxi.

Granville Rose, meanwhile, had early
cognizancs Of Pearman's arrival. and pre-
pared az once for the encounter. He first
ordered horse to be saddled, and groom
to be in readiness to take a message to
minister. Next he summoned his cousin
to come to him in his uncle's sahctum-

Here Harold Denison entered this room,
jubflant and triumphant.

And Rose went off to encounter Pear
man. He found that gentleman restlessly
pacing the library. A curt greeting pass

SOME PICTURESQUE POINTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
FORTUNES For The CLEVER

The anxiety displayed by the great
nations of the world to solve the aerial
problem has led to the offer of thou
sands of pounds for the first heavier
than-air machine to Withstand the su
preme test.
The Daily Mail offers $4,000 for the
first heavier than-air machine to
travel between London and Manches-
ter: hut since the announcement or
this prize several other papers have
come forward, expressing willingness
to hand over sums varying from $25O0
to $4,000 for aeroplane feats that would
be accomplished in the London-Man-
chester Journey. As these amount TO
100000, the winner of the Daily Mail
prize should gain at least $4,000. For
the first cross-channel flight $25OO is
also offered and a Paris daily makes
a similar offer to Frenchmen.
The International Aeronautic confer
ence is going to inaugurate prize
fund amounting to $240,000 for aerial
competitions. Dirigible balloons and
heavier-than-ai machines will compete,
for gold cups of the value of $4,000
one for each class-and the winners
will, in addition, receive cash prizes
that ought to go a long way toward
meeting expenses.
But all the great prizes are not for
aeromaniacs. There is a prize of 81,
625, 900 to be won by anybody who can
write the life of car. On December
/, 1925, Alexander l., one of the strong
est and most popular rulers Russia
ever possessed, died, and exactly 100
years after his decease the sum named
will be awarded to the author of the

best biography of him. The competi-
ton is open to the world.
The only other literary prize of i'm
portance is the $4,000 given annually
by the Nobel committee. This is one
of the five prizes awarded from an in
vested fund exceeding $10,000.000 the
others being for physics, chemistry,
medicine and the greatest service rem
dered to the cause of peace during the
year. Each prize varies in value from
$1,000 to $4,000, and the winner is re-
quired to deliver a lecture at Stock
holm or Christiania on the subject
which gained the prize.
DIR. Nobel, the founder, made his huge
fortune by inventing dynamite; but
the havoc wrought by his discovery
was a source of conscientious worry to
him throughout his life, and he divided
large sums among his relatives before
he died, so that the whole of his re-
naming estate should be devoted to
furthering the cause of peace, the arts
and sciences.
The government of Mexico has not
yet been called upon to disburse the
sum of $4,000 which is offered for a
cure for a curious wasting disease that
destroys so many of its citizens. There
are numerous other prizes to be won
by medical men.
An engine letting off steam is a
common sight, but few persons know
that some years ago the London &
Southwestern railway offered a prize
of $4,000 for a solution of this steam
wasting problem. Engineers maintain

Many years ago the tramway COM
panies of England were worrying about
the best way of collecting fares. What
they wanted was a system that would
make 1t impossible for employee or pas
senger to cheat them, and in their anx-
iety they announced an award of $4,000
for a fare-collecting machine. OF
