being forced through the flesh and ths

Arch HoXsey, who in previous
fight this afternoon had reached an
altitude of $500 feet, had risen just be-
fore Johnstone began his fatal glide
and was in the air when the accident
took place. AS he swung around the
other end of the course he saw that
Johnstone had fallen and guided his
machine directly over the body Of his
friend. He descended as soon as he
could bring his plane to the ground
and rushed to the wreckage, Where ne
and Walter Brookins helped to lift
the mangled body into an automobile
which brought 1t to the city.
Many of the spectators were watch
ing Hoxsey's fight and did not see
Johnstone's plane collapsed, but a
woman's shrek, my God! He's
gone!" drew every eye in time to see
the doomed man dashed to death on
the ground. The band In the grana-
stand, blaring away under contract,
never ceased to play, and Johnstone's
body was driven. out of the inclosure
with the strains of "a Grizzly Bear
for a funeral march.
WARNINGS WERE MANY
It would seem that many incidents
had happened throughout the aviation
meet here to warn the ill-fated avia-
ter. Yesterday in alighting john
stone broke the left wing Of his ma
chine against the fence. It was the
same tip that gave way today and
caused his death. Today when he
started on his first fight one of the
wheels on which the aeroplane runs
along the ground gave way and he
had to have it replaced. AS he pre-
pared to start for his last flight a fox
terrier that had broken through the
fence stationed himself directly in
front of the machine and, barking
frantically, refused to be driven away.
AS the machine rolled down the track
one of the wings swept above the dog,
which pursued the machine until 1t
lifted into the air.
In discussing the flights In this rare
atmosphere yesterday with repre-
sentative of the Associated Press,
Johnstone declared he would attempt
no stunts" here, as he considered 1t
too dangerous. Evidently, however,
he believed he had solved the prob
lens of this altitude, when he de-
parted from his determination.
Hoxseys daring flight over the foot
hills seemed to fire him with de-
termination to outdo his teammate, for
the first spiral, which he made safely,
was by far the most daring of any
that the aviators had attempted at
this meet.

of reports are coming on the poor

became SO general that in 1908 he was

on account of this popularity that he

The Growth of Languages.


There is an interesting and from
the national point of view a satisfac-
tory statement in the statistics lately
published in an Italian paper concern
ing the growth of modern languages.
According to the figures given the
English language, which a century
ago was spoken by 20,000,000 indi-
viduals, is now the means by which
no less than 100,000,000 give express
sion to their views of things. French,
on the other hand, has spread less
than any of the chief European lam
guages, for whereas il was used by
34,000000 men at the beginning of the
nineteenth century, 1t is now spoken
by 46.000,000. Seventy million indi-
viduals speak German today, against
100000 100 years ago; 69.00O,0OO
Russian. against 30,000,000; $4,000. O0O
Italian, against 100000, and 10000,
600 Spanish against 30,000.000
