SCHOOL IN THE TRANsvAAL
Government Appropriates Half Million
Dollars as Initial Contribution
at Pretoria.

Cape Town.-An important indica-
ton of the prosperity of the Transvaal
Is to hand in communication explain.
ing the purpose of the government of
that colony to set about forthwith the
establishment of university with the
view of promoting scientific agricul.
ture among the Boer farmers.
Already the Transvaal government
has devoted much attention to the de-
velopment of farming on modern lines.
A school for teaching agricultural sub
jects exclusively has been maintained
and 16 agricultural annual scholar
ships of $1,000 have been instituted
by the government, the students hold
ing these being the sons Of farmers
in the Transvaal. They are attend
ing the best agricultural colleges in
Great Britain, the United States and
Canada.
The new university for agriculture,
towards the creation of which the gov
eminent in the colony has made first
contribution of 100000, will be To-
Gated at Pretoria, and will supply
higher instruction in agriculture to
young farmers within the colony and
prevent the necessity on their part of
travelling to Europe and North Amer
lea in search of competent agricul-
tural education. This university will
be controlled by the Transvaal after
the colony becomes one of the four

PROF. BELL ON AERoDRoMEs
Noted Inventor Thinks They Will
Soon Be Used for Transportation
Purposes Any Distance.

Victoria, B. Cdr. Alexander Ora

ing the rapid development of areo-
nautics. Doctor Bell said that while
the monoplane may be depended upon
for highest speed developments it will
never, in his opinion. be capable of
assuring the same stability as the b.
plane or triplane.
For commercial purposes" said
Doctor Bell, aerial navigation is to-
day on the same footing as was the
telephone in it's sphere 80 years ago.
People were then asking. just as they
are with respect to the aerodrome to-
day, what practical good it will be.
At that time, three decades ago. an
swered that the telephone would be
used for any purpose that speech
might be. would nov say the same
for the aerodrome as to transportation
"Aerodromes before long will carry
anything any distance. In the imme-
diate future aerial navigation will be
chiefly utilized for the movement Of
anything demanding swift trarsporta-
ton, mail services and sport. One Of
the greatest values Of the aerial ship
will be in its making every portion Of
the earth's surface accessible to man.

GETS IS CENTS. LOSES 500
Thief Invading California Railroad
Station Is Real victim-causes
Much Joking.


Santa Rosa, GAIA thief who broke
into the office of the Northwestern
Pacific railroad at Schellville the other
night stole IS cents from the cash
drawer in the ticket office. During his
brief stay in the Office he dropped
from his pockets an envelope contain
ing two greenbacks, one for 500 and
the other for single dollar. The visit
Of the thief, intended to net him some
easy money, resulted in a net loss to
him of $10O.65.
The officers are DESTROYS of catching
the marauder who broke into the de-
pot, not for the purpose of returning
to him the sum of money which he
dropped during his thieving expedi-
ton, but they would like to secure
him and prosecute him for his GRIM
inal act. The officers have no fear
of the man calling for the lost money.
The idea of the rich tramp burglar
robbing the poor railroad corporation
and incidentally making donation of
$100.65. is causing joking here at the
expense of the unknown man who lost
his money, and has no hopes of it's re-
cOvery.

OLDEST SHIP VISITS GOTHAM
Schooner Polly, Sixty Feet Long. 10
1o5 Years Old and Has Had
Remarkable Career.

New York.-In spite of the fact that
New York has just been given its
first chance to view one of the new
dreadnaughts of the American navy in
the new battleship Michigan. the
mighty fighting machine has had to
take second place in popular interest
for little 6O-foot schooner. But small
as she is, the little vessel is undoubt
eddy the most interesting marine Wis.
itor which has come to this harbor
in great many years, for she bears
the distinction of being the Oldest
ship In the United States.
It is a few months over 105 years
since the Polly, for that is the name
Of the venerable visitor, was built
and In spite of her century of service
she is still in business today. The his
tory of this remarkable schooner COW
ers practically all fields of American
activities on the high seas. Built for
peaceful service, she nevertheless at
the tender age of seven took prom.
lnent part in the War of 1872. AS a
privateer under command of Capt. Ju-
duthan Upton she engaged in battle
with ships twice her size and cap.
tured no less than eleven rich prizes.
After that war the Polly returned
to coastwise trade, going along with,
out much notice for IS years. In 1S49
and the succeeding years the little CO.
footer rounded Cape Horn six times
and made two complete trips around
the world. Later she returned to
coastwise trade in New England wa
ters and her visit to New York is sim
ply in line with her present service.
The Polly has had dozens of own
ers in her 105 years. but all have treat.
ed her with the greatest regard.
While little of the original vessel re-
mains, as the result Of repairs. she is
still unique in the field of American
shipping.

MARR|ES AN ESKIMO
Son of New York Lawyer Re-
ceives Parents Blessing.
Love So Far Overwhelmed Young
Woman From Far North That
She Could Not Keep Up
With Her Studies.

North Tonawanda, N. Y.-Miss
Rachel B. Blake, an Eskimo, and
Clyde B. Simson, son of Attorney w.
B. Simson, one of Tonawanda's lead
ing lawyers and for many years q
power in local politics, were married
the other night at the home Of the
bridegroom's parents. Their romance
had its inception in Mechanics insti-
tute in Rochester, N. Y.
DR.. w. T. Grenfell, missionary,
stationed in Labrador, thought that it
would be an excellent idea to have
Miss Blake educated in America for
the purpose of teaching her people.
Preparations were made and the girl
advanced at an astonishing rate in her
studies, until she fell in love with the
Tonawanda student at the Rochester
institute last fall.
From the time Cupids dart i'm
bedded itself in her heart she began
to lose interest in her studies. De.
spite the efforts of her tutors the girl
seemed to lose all interest in every
thing except her love for Simson.
Miss Blake would have graduated this
year. but the prospects of securing a
diploma that would make her full
fledged teacher had no charms for
her. The situation did not affect Sim
son In the same manner, but he was
enamored of the charming student
from the far north. He kept man.
fully at his studies, for he, too, was
to graduate this year. Her guardian
was finally appealed to in an effort
to effect compromise between love
and duty in the girls case. but Miss
Blake could not be prevailed upon to
study in order to keep up with her
work. She was finally required to
leave the institute.
She was without relatives in this
country or means of support, and Sim
son came to the rescue. He finally
summoned courage. called up his ia
Their over the telephone, made a full
breast of the whole business and So
licited his parents advice.
why, my boy, this is real sur
prise, indeed" replied the father, but
you just send the girl to us and we
will care for her until you are able"
When Simson confided the glad IT,
dtngs to his sweetheart the girl was
radiant with Joy. When the gradua-
ton exercises had been finished and
Simson had been provided with his
diploma he fastened to his home and
sweetheart. Preparations were made
for the wedding of the young couple.
He is %, while she is 10.

CAN'T RECALL UNCLE's NAME
Massachusetts, Young Woman Says
She Would Be Rich II Mother
Had Better Memory

Millbury, Mass.-Because her moth
er cannot remember the Christian
name of her uncle Minard, Dora Rem
ault, ten-year-old girl of this town,
believes she is barred from fortune
of 100000.
Ten years ago the uncle left Lud-
low to seek his fortune in the west,
and before he left he told Dora's moth
er, who was Miss Julie Minard, that
he was going to make good for the
sake of his little grandniece.
On the eve of his departure he told
Mrs. Renault that he would give all
he had to her child. In his last letter
Minard said that he was prospecting,
but made no mention of the amount
of his fortune. He concluded his let
ter by saying: "And remember, Julie,
intend to keep my promise made
years ago, and leave all that have
to little Dora"
Some weeks ago Mrs. Renault re-
ceived news Of his death, and also a
communication from his lawyer that
If she could prove that she is the
woman in question, and that Minard
was her uncle, her daughter would
receive the legacy, which amounted
to half million dollars.
Mrs. Renault cannot remember the
Christian name of her uncle, cannot
remember where he was born, nor
when, nor any of the details of his
life. All the members of the family
were hazy about their exact ages and
even the parents were not sure. In
stead of calling the uncle Jean, or
Leon, or CASTOR, or whatever the
name might be, he was always called
by the French diminutive of his sur
name, Minnie.

ALL FOR A SINGLE BALLOON
Thousand Animals Is Necessary,
Says Spencer.

st. Louis, bodybuilding balloons
from dead cattle!" Startling isn't it:
Yet, as Percival Spencer, the hero Of
1850 balloon ascents and ESQ para
chute descents, explained few days
ago, 1t is none the less justified.
I'm the first place." said the world
famous aeronaut. "godlbeaters' skin
is wonderful gas holder. 1t is far
better, as well as lighter, than var.
nished fabric, india rubber covered
silk, cotton or any other of the usual
balloon fabrics. Every war balloon
ordered by Great Britain is made OF
this material, while the material itself
is made from certain portion Of the
intestinal membrane Of an OK or COW,
which would otherwise be wasted.
Thus you have the curious fact that
balloons are built from the waste ma
terial of dead cattle.
"A great many cattle have to be
killed to make one balloon" said the
aeronaut. "Six hundred thousand
oxen, for instance, had to die before
the balloons which my brothers and
myself are making fol- Count Zeppe-
Inns new airship could be proceeded
with. do not mean to say that we
had to pay for the slaughter of over
half million cattle, but we had to
place orders for what is known as the
peritoneal membranes of that number
of animals in order to secure what we
wanted"
And then Mr.. Spencer took the in.
terviewer across the lawn at the back
of his Highbury residence into the
balloon hall, where dozens of men and
girls were engaged in the evolution
Of the balloon for the Zeppelin air
ship. The skins reach Mr.. Spencer
direct from the slaughter houses in
q crude form. They are carefully
sorted and examined and those regard
ed as sufficiently good for ballooping
stored in casks, which each hold 500
skins. ts@|
These. as required. are spread out
on boards and by an ingenious and
marvellous process are welded togeth-
er in one homogeneous fabric. ut Is
thus" said Mr.. Spencer, that we con-
struct an untearable, alright vessel,
without seam or scar, to hold the n.y.
drogen gas within its confined area,
with no possibility of leakage or es-
cape. We provide an impervious en-
velope which contains within it the
very lifeblood of the air motor, with
out which it could not be steered and
could not even keep itself afloat. The
process is costly, and that is why
goldbeaters' skin is not used for ordi-
nary balloons. l might mention, how
ever, that we in this country are far
ahead Of other nationalities in the
manufacture of goldbeaters' skin for
aerial purposes and that is why Count
Zeppelin asked us to make the balloon
for his new airship."
