Airship Also Boat.

Joseph Rrucker, president of the Eu-
rope-America Aero Navigation Society,
said Tuesday that he was more san
guine than ever. in view of the re-
cent long distance trip of the Zeppelin
airship, that his plan to cross the ocean
in a dirigible balloon will be success
full.
''I do not agree" he said. with the
views of the Wright brothers that an
airship to cross the ocean needs to
carry a large quantity of fuel. I pro-
line of the northeast trade winds, and
shall need very little power and no
great amount of fuel.
"Zeppelin's recent trip was about as
far as from Lisbon to the Island of
Tenneriffe. over which, expect my
balloon will pass. From that point the
trade winds will carry the balloon to
the West Indies, and it is possible that
the first landing will be made on Porto
Rico, 2,800 miles from the coast of
Portugal"
Mr. Brucker will sail for Europe
some time this month to attend the
aeronautical exhibition in Frankfort in
July. While in Europe he says he will
select his balloon and pilot, probably
from Germany.
my present intention" he added, "is
to start next May or June from either
Cadiz or Lisbon. My ship will be in
reality a motorboat suspended by
the airship will be able to propel the
boat through the water should we
come down. If the worst happens we
can cut the balloon adrift and make
our way to land in our motorboat."-

DustIess NIotor Cars.

some automobiles running at high
speeds are not accompanied by such
clouds OF dust as other machines go
ing at less velocity. This fact has
attracted the attention of a British in
VeStlgator, Mr.. w. r. Cooper whose
study of the substituting propensities
betrayed by different types of cars has
been read before the ROYAL Autom obfIe
Club, and has prompted that organiza-
ton to continue his experiments The
Motor World, of June 10, reproduceS
Mr.. Cooper's paper. with illustrations
of the telltale devices used on the front
and rear of cars to show the direction
OF air currents produced. Since certain
styles of vehicle are found to produce
less dust than others, the Motor World
believes that manufa cturers should be
quick to adopt ANY changes in their
own designs tending toward the abate-
ment of what is, frankly speaking, a
public nuisance
The building of highways with CO.
hesive surfacing must, of course, be
the chief means of abolishing the dust
nuisance. Meanwhile prospective buy
ers of machines will be influenced by
the argument that q particular style Of
chassis and body will measurably quell
the dust misplaced by the wheels. Mr..
cooper assumes that a car should be
run SO as to leave the air little dis
turbed within, say inches of the
ground. If its motion causes the cur
rents of air to flow down they will dis
turb the layer next the surface, and
if the currents are sent up behind the
car they must bear with them this
lower layer charged with dust. His
study suggests feasible notifications
of the mud guards, the tanks, the car
frame, and the setting of the frame
at a suitable distance from the ground.
The application of air deflectors at
the rear and along the guards of au-
tomobiles would probably change their
appearance most should Mr.. Cooper's
suggestions be adopted and found eff
fective. Pedestrians would be easily
persuaded, too, that the changes were
beautiful.-New York Times.

FROM OTHER PENS
IMMIGRATION.


Those who would promote the
movement of immigration to southern
states will find interest in a British
consular report upon that effort at
dfverting the incomers from the ports
of arrival The report admits that
the climate is not unsuitable for
white labor, save perhaps in the west
belt of the Carolinas and Georgia. and
recognition is made of the good wages
offered and the moderate price of
food. The report points out that
white laborers- would be brought into
contact with negroes. Its general
conclusion is that the condition of
British immigrants in the south is not
unsatisfactory.
That is not a view of the effort to
divert the incoming flow of labor to-
ward the cotton states that is suf-
ficientIy attractive to relieve northern
cities from any of the pressure of i'm
migration. In fact, the general i'm
preston conveyed to the reader on
the other side of the Atlantic would
seem to be deterrent, especially as it
is strongly limited that the anxiety of
southern states for white labor
springs from political as well as
economic motives. Such an official
report may make it advisable for
southern Immigration bureaus to in
crease their activities, especially in the
circulation beyond the sea of htera-
ture that may tend to counterfeit the
discouraging influence of a document
having the weight of government i'm

MEANING OF HAPPINESS.

It would be hard to find a business
man who has not his own special
worries and annoyances, but if they
be not too great, a sensible man does
not let them prey upon his mind, and
he finds real pleasure in carrying
out his plans successfully, and in
forming new ones for the furtherance
of his interests. If in addition to this
his home life is a pleasant one, he
is about as happy as reasonable
beings expect to be. How often we
have the testimony of those who have
made enormous fortunes that &heir
very happiest days were those when
they first began to f'get on and not
when they had made so much money
that it had become a care and a bur-
dent to them. An artist who has
such skill as to be able to reproduce
on canvas the scenes his imagination
conjures up-or nearly so, since no
true artist is ever quite satisfied with
his works about as happy when
engaged in his work as one needs to
be. For one writer who turns to lit
erature for the sake of its pecuniary
rewards, there are a score who write
for the pleasure of expressing their
thoughts and imaginings, and they
are perfectly happy while engaged in
their beloved occupation. Tt is the
same with many other callings, and
one cannot doubt but that the bus
lest men and women in the world are
at the same time among the happiest-

MAN RELEASED
BY WIFE WINS
DIVORCE DECREE
Mcguire Shows Paper in Which
Woman Abs0lved Him
from All Support.

Chancellor Mahlon Pltney has
granted a decree of divorce to Frank
p. Mcguire. who. through the firm of
Colby, Whiting & Sommer, brought suit
against his wife, Frances Ella Mcguire.
The decree was granted on the excep-
tons taken by Borden d. Whiting to
the report of Alfred F. Stevens. special
master in chancery.
The suit was brought on the ground
of desertion three years ago. but, as
Mcguire was unfortunate enough to
put his case into the hands of two
lawyers. Mathew j. Ready and Rudolph
A. Braun, whose personal difficulties
caused the former to be sentenced
to prison and the latter to the
Railway Reformatory, its progress
VS. slow. But two months of the we'd
ding, which took place January !, 1903,
were happy, so Mcguire stated then
his wife developed a tempek that kept
hin busy trying to pacify her. First
they boarded with his brother, then
with her brother, and then they went
to housekeeping. She complained that
he was not giving her enough money
although he vas turning over his
wages every week to her.
Mcguire said that in these fts or
anger she showed n desire to leave him
or get him to leave her. Twice she
wrote, RELEASES %absolving him from
any duty to her. One of these re
leases" read:
Frank Mcguire Is released from all
support, and wherever he goes, for
Gods sake keep hin,
FANNIE Mcguire"
Mrs. Maguire's sister-in-law testified
that the wife admitted to her that
she never cared for any n more than
two or three months at a time. Short
ly after she left her husband she went
to live with her mother, and in spite
of the appeals of Mcguire refused to
come back to him. Finally he met her
in the street and she would not speak
to him
