The Development of Aviation
rom the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
 In tracing the development of flying, it all looks very simple, now that 1t has been accomplished. Lillienthal gliding was the art first removed from actual flying. and it was a tragic close of his life of devotion to an idea, when in 1895 he was killed after 2000 successful trips. But back of Lillienthal's gliding, the same idea that has developed the aero plane is found in kite flying.
 It is pressure against the air that makes the kite soar; 1t is pressure against the air that makes the aero plane soar-pressure promoted by the rapidly revolving propeller. Ascent, des- cent, balance and direction are the prob- tems which confront the aviator when he takes his seat in the air craft. In every movement while he is in the air there must be constant alertness, to ad- just his machine for varying air cur rents, or holes in the atmosphere If the engine fails to work there is left the probability of reaching earth again safely by gliding downward--a short de- scent gives momentum to glide along for more distance to gain a desired point Most of the accidents have happened as the result of some part of the aeroplane giving away-that is why the aeroplanes are guarded so closely in their respective hangars, to keep away meddesome sightseers, who are liabel to tamper or monkey with the machines. When MT. Harmons biplane crashed to the marsh land, curious memento hunters made way with a great many of the parts, the loss of which prevented him from get ting 1t ready for the air again during the meet

OLDEST ENGLISH NEWSPAPER

 fly for 150 Years

London Letter to Denver Republican.
 England.s oldest newspaper, the Lon don Gazette, which has been for over I50 years in the hands of members of the Harrison family, Is to have new printers and publishers. This announcement draws attention to perhaps the most cu- rious publication in existence, a publica- ton which is at least unique in the jour naistic world.
 The following singular features char acterize the Gazette: Besides being the oldest newspaper of the present day, 1t has the smallest circulation of any. Its shape and it's type are obsolete. And, strange as 1t may appear, it has no edi- tor or editorial staff
 Since it's birth in the days of the great plague the Gazette has been the proper ty of the government. Originally pat ent was granted to some individual, giv- xette, which he published in his own way. retained the proceeds, but paid to the government a stipulated sum every year for the privilege. Discounting Slight the same style of contract has existed up to the present day.
 Now, however, the government has made a radical change Instead of re- ceiving from the printers a fixed sum for the privilege of printing the Gazette, and allowing them to pocket the pro reeds of the advertisements, they have decided to reverse the process. and pay the printers for producing the paper. This change was inevitable, for the pa per Is reputed to yield d profit of $100.- poo a year from the proceeds of the of-

The Regenerated Razorbnck

From the National Magazine.
 Hogs, too can be raised very profit ably throughout the state of Florida, which has always depended upon it's world renowned razor back for large portion of it's meat supply And the beauty about the hog in Florida is that he forages for his own living, the supply of native grasses and other wild foods supporting him the entire year.
 It is only in the. last few years, how ever, that some of the more enerprsing farmers have commenced to raise hogs on a commercial scale, breeding up the native razorback with imported Berk- shires, Jersey Reds and Poland Chinas. From the graded stock the breeder de- rives quick growth and the deep ham and other qualities that sare the recog- nized characteristics of the high class hog; from the native stock he derives a finer grained and sweeter meat. Hogs produced in this manner will attain a weight of 90 to 125 pounds against 25 to 30 pounds for the razorback in the same period.

 You see it was this way" Rogers ex- plained. .T was on post September when I got telegram from my wife. 1t said: Come home at once. Peter is dead.' My wife is a little woman and high strung couldn't do any less than go home to her."
 "Who was Peter?"
 'Pete was her pet dog" said Rogers. 'I knew she would so into mysteries and that I ought to go to her. l really couldn't say that it was orily dog who was dead. So l gave him 8 real name"
 Did you go to the dogs funeral?" asked Mir Reynolds
 'T did," said Rogers.
 Then Rogers was asked about the sec ond leave of absence, the one for tho funeral of his father.
 "Well, only my father-in-law was dead" said Rogers, .'and since had gone to my wife when her dog had died I couldn't do any less for her when her father died. or she'd have said that I'd made a discrimination against her in favor of the dog. And l couldn't tell about it any more than I could about the dos.

RINGS ON HER FINGERS
Mania for Beautiful Ornaments Makes
 Trade for Mnnicurists

London Correspondence Boston Globe.
 There is mania for the possession of beautiful rings just now. Mondaines will pay practically any price for a really unique ring containing uncommon stones or having a history attached to it. Those competent to speak say that Mrs. Maid win Drumond has the finest collection here, including a superb ruby ring which belonged to Christina. the great spinster queen of Sweden, and a ring of pearls, which was still on Marie Antoinette's forefinger when she went to tho gulllo- tine.
 Mrs. Waldorf Astor. the Duchess of Westminster, and Mrs. Ian Malcolm Ca daughter of Mrs. Langtry, now Lady de Bathe), also have interesting rings with historic associations. It Is because of the fashion set by these great danes that now women in all grades of society wear no gloves in the evening so it is imperative to keep the hands in the most perfect condition, and the beauty specialists are, therefore, making money

 MT. Harrison is proud of the fact that over the long course of years during which his firms name has been asso- ciated with the Gazette no official se- cret sent to it for publication has ever leaked out prematurely, although his employees number several thousand.
 Besides printing all the official an- nouncements and advertisements and ad- vertisements under acts of parliament, 1t also publishes all state events. For example, the accession of the king was announced formally by a special supple ment of the Gazette.

FOOD And OUR

Agricultural Resources Do Not
Keep Up With Increase
OF People
SECRETARY WILSON ON
HIGH COST OF LIVING

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. April e5.-"Our population
is increasing faster than our food produc-
ton" declared Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. discussing the cost of living prob
iem before conference on "The condition
of agricultural resources" at the Produce
Exchange to-day lie declared that serious
trouble lay In the neglect and unnecessary
deterioration OF eastern farms.
Regarding the high cost of living all
the facts should be taken into the causes
that have operated to bring about condi-
tions that are new TO US as a people. We
have had great abundance Of food at
prices that were lower than most other
countries enjoyed, particularly those coun-
tries with which we compete In commerce
and manufacturing. Compensation for skin
and labor has been comparatively high IN
our country. but increased cost of living
has become a disturbing factor that can
not be adjusted at present to the satistac-
tion of those concerned. There are many
factors that enter into this inquiry
1T costs more to get anything done in
our country than in most others. untl
within recent years new land was abund-
ant and to be had for the asking Rail-
ways pushed ahead of the homostcador,
the reaper came. and bread and meat were
cheap The American farmer compared
with other workers had low wages. The
education of the schools had done noth-
ing for him. while much was done for
other Industries. There was no seeming
necessity for educating farmers for their
life work: food was cheap enough and
good enough a change has come. Produc-
tion does not Increase as fast as popula
tion. Prices 30 up: 1t costs more TO pay
carriers. dealers manufacturers, ali C ass
es. The farmer gets big prices now, but
T. costs him twice as much to grow thing'
a. II did ten years ago.
"Tho fact that population increases fast
er than food sets us thinking. We canno
afford to buy food from foreign countries
I The balances Of trade for goods bough
and sold since the civil war independen
Of farm products have been hcavil
against us during that time. and hav
