AT THE HOTELS.

Jules Schenfeid. of Paris. at the Shore
ham last night Mr.. sehonfeld Is inter-
ested in aerial navigation. and Is visit
ing this country to study American
methods aud systems
There is no doubt that the French
people have taken bold OF the problem
OF heavier-than-air machines with the
determination TO be the first to present
to the world an absolutely safe and sane
flying machine. TO use an American
phrase. Before the French inventors and
their admirers, however, can demon
strste the matter in q cool, deliberate,
business-iike wsy, they VIII have first TO
wear of that great surplus accumula-
ton of enthusiasm which In many cases
acts as a hindrance to the practical de-
velopment of q great idea. There have
been many accidents and the lives Of
many aviators and those interested in
the science In France have been lost
This has made a bad impression on the
great masses Of the people. who are IN
ciined 20 think that the flying machine,
after all. is nothing more than an inven-
ton by which people can lose their lives
In novel manner. And even that ap-
peais 10 a certain class OF Frenchmen.
There is great danger IN this reckless
ness on the part Of French aviators. II
is certain TO delay the development Of the
flying machine. and would advise them
10 adopt the methods OF the American
aviator. who may not be quite as daring
as his French brother, but who is far
more successful, looking at his accom-

France Is away ahead II this line OF
air navigation. and could place a large
number OF flying machines at the dis
posal OF the French ministry in case OF,
war It has been demonstrated 10 the
satisfaction Of the war Office people that
flying machines can be successfully used
In times of war for numerous purposes.
such as scouting. carrying dispatches,
signaling. and dropping explosives. Ger
many is away behind France in this line
OF aerostatics. but has. believe. a larger
number OF dirigibles- However. they have
proven TO be highly unreliable for prac-
teal uses 1t is my opinion that the
fying machine. and not the dirigibIe, VIII

DR.. John E. Ruebsam. formerly Of the
University of Pennsylvania Hospital.
Philadelphia, and now Of this city, in
speaking OF the Jeffries-Johnson fight,
said last night that the result would in
sill likelihood have been different had
Jeffries paid more attention 10 the train
ing OF his lungs and the developing OF
their power.
There is a mistaken idea among ath-
letes that their training is complete after
they have performed certain physical ex-
ercises and movements Of the arms. legs.
and body. which are intended 10 add 70
their strength and powers OF endurance.
OF course. II cannot be denied that these
exercises harden the muscles and
strengthen the various parts OF the body.
yet they leave the principal organs-the
lungs-almost undeveloped The latter
are rarely systematically trained and de-
veIored, yet person depends on them
for the breath which is life itself
regular course of breathing exercises
should be embodied In the daily routine
of every person who wishes to retain
health.
1T is remarkable. continued DR.. Rueb-
sam. how very few people are able to
use their breathing muscles 10 any ex-
tent-in fact. not more than 10 per cent
Some people. well built, Weighing from
200 10 800 pounds. can hardly blow as
much as one-eighth OF an ounce. showing
that their lungs are only one-third part IN
action. The blood must be in serious
condition without oxygen, and the clotted
parts OF the lungs the breeding ground
for disease. To relieve such condition
we must try TO clean the air passage
The only force to be used is forced air,
10 wipe out some part OF the dangers OF
tubercle.
The practice of deep breathing" added
DR.. Ruebsam, will make any man or
pulmonary troubles, and will do away
with all chance OF contracting colds or
and similar weaknesses. Deep
breathing exercise is of vital importance
to every man, woman, and child. For ten
years I have carried the idea in my
brain TO construct an instrument TO oul-
tivate the breathing muscles. and I dare
say that If Jeffries had used this instru-
ment and given his lungs the same care
full training he gave the rest of his body
he would have retained the championship
of the world. and the white man would
not have been vanquished by a colored
man"
Robert ". Carter, real estate man Of
New York, who is at the Arlington. in
the New York political situa-
ton, said last night that unless either
Col Roosevelt or Gov. Hughes associates
himself very closely with the campaign
the Democrats win surely elect their
candidate for governor, as well as other
important State officials.
THE situation in New York is serious
for the Republican party" said Mr. Car
ter. .'and unless Roosevelt or Hughes
jumps in and rolls UP his sleeves and
stumps the State and works Ike a hero
the Republicans will lose this fall To
make matters worse. there is a serious
split in the Republican party, and it
looks very much as if there is a strong
contingent OF Republican machine men
who would Ike to see Roosevelt shorn
of all political power in New York state.
| believe Roosevelt is aware of this move
ment. and is laying MS plans accord
IngIy."
Col Roosevelt has only begun. and II
would be wrong to infer from the defeat
the primary bill experienced at Albany
that he is a beaten man, according to
Harry S. Wilbur. Of Buffalo. n. Y. who
Is at the Arlington
This temporary setback IS all that
Teddy needed" said Mr.. Wilbur, ito
arouse his fighting temper. and you may
rest assured that he is thoroughly stirred
up by this time, Col. Roosevelt snaarts
