Sec Great sneed Ahenh.

New York, June SIN spite of threat
ening skies, about 200 persons went out
to Hampstead Plains Aviation Field this
afternoon with the hope OF seeing Charles
K. Hamilton make aeroplane flights.
Hamilton said it was quite possible TO
fly In the rain, but he did not care TO
take the drenching
He also said he had noticed in a cable
gram that Pauihan is doing fancy fly
ing and was running his engine at a
speed OF 100 miles an hour.
IF Paulhan can make 100 miles, I can
do ninety, for this country is only about
ten miles behind Paris. and that is 60

Hamilton's machine is being put in

from New York to Philadelphia and

stances he believes that an aeropIane
could be made to fly 800 miles an hour.

TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which Its
Treasures Are Guarded.

The Perfect System by Which Its
Treasures Are Guarded.
The Tower Of London has the most per-
feet system Of burglar alarms that has
Yet been devised, says the London Mail
From Scotland Yard, from the COVER
nor's headquarters, and from other places
known only TO a few responsible officials.
the whole Tower can be closed electri-
cany within a few seconds. Even the
ponderous gates at the middle tower,
which weigh some tons and through
which visitors pass, swing 70 automati-
cally and the escape Of every one within
is instantly barred At the same time an
alarm bell rings TO warn wardens. police,
and soldiers.
In particular the precautions in the
apartment containing the crown jewels
are Of a most scientifically elaborate
kind. One Of the beef-eaters on duty in
the room has merely to press a button,
whereupon the heavy door closes, the
alarm bell below rings. the other gates
slam 10 and lock. and every person with
in the tower is instantly cut of from the
outer world.
THE man who can get away with any
OF the crown jewels deserves them" OBJ
served a Tower official From where I
am standing I could close every impor-
tant door and gate in the Tower in as
short a time as it takes to utter these
words"
II was mainly to insure the safety of
the crown jewels that the system was in
stalled.
No order had been issued for the clos
ing Of the Tower on a recent Saturday.
when, greatly TO their alarm, the visitors
found doors locked, bolted, and barred
against them for about ten minutes. pre-
venting any one leaving the Tower.
The Tower simply closed, that is all"
remarked an Official ''Who caused Il TO
do so we do not know. II might have
been Scotland Yard. where the pressing
Of button would imprison every soul
within the Tower until the police gave
the signal for their release. or It might
have been the governor, anxious to learn
whether we were all at our posts. At
any rate, it was none of the minor Off
Gals, In fact who closed the Tower and
why IS secret known only to the high
est authorities. There was no alarm. no
attempt to seize the crown Jewels"

Is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged. the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in

produces rheumatism and kidney all

Although the House of Representatives
appropriated s25O000 last year to cover
the cost of reducing the chamber and
substituting English benches for the big
desks and swivel chairs, the change viii
not be made.
Uncle Joe Cannon and other leaders are
/ inclined to think that it won't be many
| years before the House has a member
| ship large enough TO fill the chamber.
| Instead of reducing the hall by two
thirds this summer. It Is probable that
an experiment or two viii be made. The
/ first row of desks may be ripped out
entirely and the next three rows replaced
by benches, with narrow rails in front
! just large enough to accommodate mem
orandum pads.
Big Desks Not Used.
Since the construction of the House
Office Building the members do not use
the big desks to get out their correspond
ence, and it is the plan not 10 assign
I members TO seats as heretofore. There
! isn't much attention paid to the owner
ship of seats anyhow. It is only when
some big vote is due and the whips OF
| both parties have been active in getting
/ out their full strength that the members
/ all sit in their rightful seats.
/ Elliott Woods. Superintendent OF the
| Capitol has been making a study OF the
| hall for years and has called in expert
| help. New York architects drew the
1 plans for the change. and 1t was discov-
| cred that the appropriation of $4,000
wouldn't begin 10 cover the cost.
| Recently a series Of tests of the acous-
/ tic properties OF the chamber were made
/ by experts They were conducted when
| the building was vacant The experts
| pronounced the acoustics superior 10
/ those of any legislative chamber In the
world.
House leaders do not believe that the
reduction IN the size Of the chamber
would accomplish much more than car
/ be accomplished by reducing the seating
area One Of the greatest reasons for
voting the appropriation was that by
moving the hall westward some thirty
! feet or so and bringing it nearly TO the
outer wall. the ventilation problem. which
| has always been a nuisance, would be
| solved.
| Ventilation Is Adequate.
It has been generally supposed that the
ventilatlng system OF the House was very
poor. Recent tests have demonstrated
| that this is not the case. With the doors
Of the chamber all closed IL has been
/ found that the House is about the best
ventilated chamber of its size that can
/ be imagined. and that the fresh air plant
/ floods the big hall with something ike
/ 100000 cubic feet OF fresh air minute.
/ Il was discovered during the tests that
! Speaker Cannon must be q hardy ciu-
/ zen. for every day that he is in the chair
I he breathes air containing 10l portions of
/ carbonic acid gas TO 100,000. whereas the
maximum for health is thirty-eight por-
/ lions.
| In connection with the work this sum-
mer it's quite probable that 5000 or so
will be spent on the installation OF an
apparatus invented By DR.. StTattOn. OF
/ the Bureau Of Standards, which will dry
the afr OF the chamber and render the
| big place comfortable, even on the hot
| test and most humid days of a Wash
/ ingtOn summer.
