CARLISTS AND CLERICALS

ROME, Aug. Ain the hope that
King Alfonso OF Spain will eventually
be forced by public opinion to dismiss
Premier Canalejas and appoint a pro-
clerical to the post. the pope Is semi
officially reported today TO be turning
a deaf ear to the appeals of a major
ity of the cardinals for less antag-
onistic course toward the spanish
government.
The pope Is believed by many TO
be too much under the influence OF
incapable advisers and he Is being
urged to make sweeping changes In
his official family. There are no in
dications, however. OF the pope
yielding.
Dispatches from Madrid say the
overthrow OF the anti-clericals Is I'm
possible at the present time, though
there Is the strongest prospect that
they will win only after bitter
fight. The Carlists and independent
clericals have formed an alliance and
today they sent the following warn
Ing to Canalejas.
I'VE are determined TO use any and
every means to effect your overthrow
without regard for the consequences.
While this threat breathes the
spirit Of civil war IL Is known that
the clericals, even though supported
by q large part OF the people, are In
no position TO engage In war with
the government. Dispatches say
plainly that Alfonsos position has
been greatly strengthened by the
events of the last few days.

The machine shown in the picture re-
produced on this page was the one com
plcted by Mr.. Gillett in 1894 and I'M
proved upon at different times IN later
years The inventor is satisfied that
his machine is practical and he takes
great pride in the fact that he was
one of the FIRST men in the country TO
successfully demonstrate that aerial
navigation was not impossible.
Mr.. Gillett 8 machine differs from
those invented by Farman, Curtiss, the
Wright brothers and others In many
respects. At first the inventor de"
pended largely upon gas for a lifting
power. but since it has been so thor
oughly demonstrated that a gasbag is
not essential to aerial navigation, Mr.,
Gillett has almost entirely discarded
his gas tanks. although there is yet
enough gas in Gillett's latest model to
Offset much of the weight.
Cone-like propellers st the rear OF
the machine on either side supply the
power necessary to carry the aeroplane
into the air and take ii through space
at a high rate of speed. When Mr..
Gillett built his first model the gaso-
line engine was hardly more than an
experiment, but with engines perfected
ing is much nearer solution.
In d demonstration given few
weeks ago to number of business men
of this city, Mr. Gillett proved TO the
satisfaction of all who witnessed the
test that his machine will fly. 1T is
expected that steps will be taken short
ly to organize a stock company, with
view Of manufacturing airships for
commercial purposes.
Mr.. Gillett's machine differs from
others known to the scientific world in
that the wings, constructed of silk and
aluminium. are hollow and contain hy-
drogen gas, the most effective lifting
power known. The larger parts of
the machine are also hollow and con
tain gas to give buoyancy. The en-
CINE is stationed in the forward part
of the machine, while the operator g
seat is in the rear, thus giving the
desired balance. The wings of the ma
chine are so arranged that they can be
moved at will and operate much like
the wings of bird.
There is third propeller in front
which operates the same as the two on
the sides at the rear of the aeroplane,
only it is reversed and pulls the ma
chine along. A guide in front acts
much, like the head Of bird and
there is a ruddor at the rear.

Gillett was living in San Francisco at

was afterwards destroyed when San

VALUE OF PUBLICITY
is ILLUSTRATED

\ No wonder California receives so
many immigrants. The supervisors
of every county appropriate large
sums annually for advertising in 10
cal and eastern publications and
even maintain exhibits and agencies
in New York and other places. In
addition to county appropriations
the people generally, especially land
owners and business men, contribute
large sums. Sacramento has a
fund $25O,000 with an annua, guar
antee of $4,000.
One result of this campaign of
publicity was the recent visit of a
number of Pittsburg and othe" cast
ern millionaires, bankers, etc, to
the Sacramento valley for personal
inspection of several large tracts OF
land.
