Washington, D. C.-Events in the
realm of aviation are crowding thick
and fast. On the same day Crville
Wright made new aeroplane record
at Fort Myer, Hubert Latham made
an almost successful attempt to cross
the English Channel.
Again the motor of the French avi-
ator failed. and this time at a criti-
cal moment. Five hundred yards
from the English coast the engine
stopped and he fell into the sea. This
second failure may disappoint, but
will hardly discourage, such a plucky
man.
At Washington Mr. Wright sue
ceeded in making new record for
flight with passenger. In the pres
ence Of President Taft and distin-
guished company he flew with Lieu
tenant Lahm almost an hour and
thirteen minutes. thus fulfilling the
terms of the Government contract in
respect to duration During this per-
iod he compassed a distance fully
double that between Calais and Dover.
That shows the meaning OF this splen-
did performance.
DESCRIPTION OF WRIGHT MACHINE
The machine used by the Wrights
at Washington consists Of two planes,
ore five feet above the other, and
measuring thirty-six feet from tip to
tin. The seat for the operator is
placed in the centre of the lower
plane, of to the left Of the motor.
The passenger sits on the other side
of the motor.
The motor itself is product of the
Wright brothers, four-cylinder,
thirty horsepower, water-cooled gas
oline engine. The gasoline is pumped
directly into the intake pipes, there
being no carbureters.
The tips Of the planes are flexible
for the space of about twelve feet.
BY means of lever they can be
turned in curve, resembling hello
cold, the wings moving in opposite di-
rections. A second lever controls the
twin rudders. which are supported by
O brace ten feet from the rear Of the
planes. BY working the two levers
together the equilibrium OF the ma
chine is maintained.
Ten feet in front of the operators
seat two planes resembling box kite
about fifteen by three feet are used
for controlling the ascent and descent.
Two propellers about nine feet in di-
ameter and revolving in opposite di-
rections are used to thrust the aero
plane forward.
The weight of the machine, includ-
ing both operator and passenger, is
trife under 1900 pounds.

(From the Danish of Ka Holberg)
9Wouldss have a bell of deep and perfect sound,
So perfect that the metal melts in air
And is all music? Seek thou then with
The fairest virgin in thy land around"
So Chinese priests of making gongs expound.
That all their folk may hasten, glad to prayer
when thou hast found the woman pure and fair
In the hot metal then must she be drowned"
To me, a poet came maiien bright,
Who locked not back who would become part
Of all my music die that she might give
My song harnones; in the fierce light
And flaming of the furnace of my heart
Her gi1lhood perished that my mighs live!

 The house was beautifully de corated with cut flowers, and at five o'clock Miss Wilson was ushered into the dining room where her gifts were displayed. The charming, original manner of opening each package and her way of expressing her apprecia- tion was possibly the most inter- esting feature of the afternoon. The great number of useful gifts in silver, cut glass, linen, china and novelties of various descrip- tions speak in part of the high esteem Miss Wilson's friends have for her. There was vocal and instrumental music by Mrs. J. w Hutson, Miss Roberta Pate and Miss Hazel Wilson.

SHORTAGE OF COAL CARS.
shippers Forced TO Refuse Orders
in West Virginia Field.

Baltimore, Nov. 13-The shortage of
coal cars in the West Virginia field IS be-
coming more serious every day. and prac-
tcally every Baltimore company operat-
ing mines in that district is handicapped
and losing business because Of the inabil-
ity Of the railroads to furnish equipment
with which TO move coal
1t is estimated that iB the Fairmont re-
gion alone the mines are behind approx
imately 100000 tons in deliveries, and the
indications are that the congestion will
become worse rather than improve, owing
to the rush Of all classes Of freight. Some
companies have been forced to refuse or
ders for coal except subject TO delay. in
the meantime consumers are clamoring
for fuel, and in some instances are offer
ing premiums over quoted prices.
Not only cars, but locomotives also are
scarce. Builders are working day and
night to supply equipment, but are unable
to materially relieve the situation. Some
Of the coal companies which are under
contract TO furnish a specified amount OF
coal monthly to local concerns are buy
ing coal from dealers at practically retail
prices in order to fulfill their obligations.
