Wriqht Makes Lone FIiqht.

Washington. - In two short flights
in the Wright aeroplane at Fort
Myer, Va, Orville Wright close
ly approached the worlds aeroplane
speed record, attaining an average
velocity Of 5412 miles an hour as COM
puted by Wilbur Wright, who held
the stop watch on the machine for
half dozen rounds of the course.
On the first flight the air craft re-
NAMED aloft only one minute and
thirty-nine seconds, the aviator being
forced to descend by losing a cog
wheel on the magnetic after making
his second round of the course. On
his second flight, after the cog had
been replaced, the aeroplane swiftly
circled a dozen times around the
course, which is five-sixths of mile
in the circumference. Certain changes
in the gearing of the motor and pro-
pellers, which were intended to give
the machine higher speed, had been
effected earlier in the day.

ACTION MAY MEAN A WAR.
Argentine Orders Bolivian Minister to
Leave and Summons Her Envoy
from La Paz.

Buenos Ayres.-The Argentine gov
eminent Tuesday sent his passports
to the Bolivion minister here, order
ing him to leave Buenos Ayres within
"a hours. The government has also
telegraphed Senior Fonseca, Argen-
tine minister to Bolivia, to leave La
Paz Immediately. 1t is practically a
declaration of war.
The action of the Argentine gov
eminent follows the refusal of b.
livia to accept the decision of Argen-
tina in the matter of the boundary dis
pute between Bolivia and Peru. The
Argentine Republic has taken offense
at the action of the president of b.
livia, who, it is asserted, has sent cir
culars to the projects throughout the
country, casting reflections on the Ar
gentine government.

Safe Blowers Fooled.

Bedford, Ind. Safe crackers
blew the safe of the Oolitic post
office, but got nothing, as they failed
to open the inner door after three
trials.

which is deposited every pay day by
the foreign laborers, who send it to the

come until to-day. Bloodhounds failed
to find a trail.

1t has long been remarked that an
island off Chicago that could be used
for pleasure purposes would be bet
ter than the richest of gold mines for
its owner, but there is no such pro
lection from the bottom of the lake
and Chicago has had to be content
with parks along the shore. But now
it is suggested that an island be con-
structed on reef which exists in the
shallow lake of the city, for a public
park This is visionary, and if an
island were made with dredgings and
dumpings it would lack beauty be.

French naval officers have succeed,
ed in conversing at a distance of 100
miles with wireless telephone. This
is an achievement that transcends the
feats of wireless telegraphy over
many times that distance, because in
naval service ability to talk back and
forth during the progress of fleet
will be invaluable. But the usefulness
of the wireless telephone will proba-
bly, be restricted to the sea, because
there are too many interferences on
land through electrical developments
of all kinds.

The mosquito is made almost a bird
of prey by the dispatch from Cape
Town which states that an overflow
of the Orange river due to a heavy
rainfall, has bred so many mosquitoes
in the Gordonia northern district that
three-quarters of the population are
affected with malaria, which has been
fatal in many cases. In some parts OF
the world the house screen is a sani.
tary necessity, both day and night, but
the housedy is the chief danger in
non-malarious countries.

Chicago's plan for the construction
of an auditorium capable of accom-
modating $4,000 people is interesting.
But the architects will have a task in
planning a building in which so many
can find seating or standing room
within ear-shot of speakers. A vast
hall in which only portion of an as.
semblage can get within hearing dis.
lance of the speakers platform would
be disappointing and therefore less
desirable than smaller hall in which
all can participate in the "doings."

substance, DR.. Frederick A. Cooks
comment here today. Rasmussen's
statement Is to the effect that DR..
Cooks claim Is fully borne out by the
information which the Danish explorer
secured among the Eskimos.
: DR.. Cook read the statement for the
first time today when he stopped in To-
ledo between trains on his way from
Ann Arbor to Canton. He said that
Rasmussen's opinion is particularly
valuable because he Is half Eskimo
himself, speaks the Eskimo language
perfectly, thoroughly understands the
people and is better able to secure cor
rect information from them than any
other scientist or explorer.
DR.. Cook also pointed out the disin-
terested character of the statement:
1T Is that of man who had no &C.
casion to defend me-" he said. He is
not particularly a friend of mine and
had no relation to our expedition. l
