Overhauling the Treasury Building

Fifteenth street; frieze windows will
be placed on the third floor, and a
general adjustment of bureaus and
divisions will be made to facilitate the
work. The treasury department has
been seriously overcrowded for num-
Der OF years One of the very first inn
provements was the elimination from
the building of the branch printing
office, with its combustible inks, oils.
etc. With the great Fifteenth street
steps removed, a fine entrance at
grade will be provided for the en-
ployes, and count will be kept of the
people entering and leaving the build
ing, which at the present time seems
to be impossible. At the present time
the employees are obliged to carry
their clothing, hats, rubbers, umbrel-
las and everything of that character
into their working rooms, so that lock-
ers are imperative. It will certainly
be $1S0,000 mighty we'll expended, for
in the present condition of the treas
ury department it is impossible to
keep it clean or to run it on business
like methods with departments of the
various bureaus widely separated, so
that the chief of one of these spends
most of his time tfaversing the corri-
doris in his attempt to keep track Of
his clerks and of his work.

reason for this failure to make an ap-
preparation was ever announced, but
it is now pretty we'll understood that
the experts in both the war and navy
departments suggested that it would
be well to defer action until the gov
eminent understands better what to
expect of the airship.
Officials in the army and navy de-
partments are greatly impressed with
the performances of Glenn Curtiss
with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re-
Gently. Those performances were not
under the auspices of either the war
department or the navy department,
but agents of each of the fighting arms
were present, and were deeply i'm
pressed with what Curtiss was able to
do. They have reported to their re-
spective departments that from a
height that would have protected him
reasonably we'll from a fire directed
at him from either land or water, he
dropped small articles on boats and on
objects on land with remarkable pre-
cision.
Some Of the experts from the de-
partments who saw the Curtiss per-
that if war should come on tomorrow
the aeroplane would be able to do de-
structive work.

Aerial Postcards.

Have you seen the aerial post
cards?" They are the latest novelty
in the line, and those who collect post
cards are delighted at the idea that
before long they will be able to add to
their albums carte aerienne,
dropped from the clouds by one OF
their friends passing in an aeroplane
The new card bears a printed request
that the person finding 1t on the
ground will be so good as to take 1t to
the nearest post office, whence 1t Will
be forwarded to its destination. A
space is reserved for the mention OF
the altitude at which the message left
the sender's hands, and the situation
approximately, of the aeroplane at the
time of sending. A photograph of the
monoplane or biplane figures on the

It is said that request has been
made to the minister of posts and tele-
graphs that a special stamp should be
created for these aerial missives, but

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in.
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in a Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. I noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum. | was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it SO we'll that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con.
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt SC
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
how oopoToI condition ,,,,,ob iy,ooro,,o5
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of us.
'T know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
lily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim Of long standing

nv he treasury building is undergoing
I another overhauling, which this
time costs $1S0,000. The renovators
have been at work on the treasury
building for a good many years. Not
very much has been done to the inside
of the great pile of masonry, where
the United States money is kept, but
more or less work is all the time going
IN on the outside. All Of the original
sandstone or soft limestone that faced
tho outside of the building has been at
laet removed, and granite has been put
in it's place. The principal change that
will now be made will be to eliminate
the huge granite entrance steps on the
Fifteenth street side. Several new
messenger elevators will be installed
Lockers will be furnished sufficient for
all of the clerks; the money-handling
divisions will be segregated on the

ACC|DENTS|N THE AIR
Holes in the Atmosphere Otter
Cause Disaster.
Aviator Flies Into Empty Space and
Without Warning Falls Like
Stone-Danqers of Aerial
Whirlpools and Collisions.

Paris.-In regard to flying accidents
In general, they may be roughly divi-
ded into those due to (a) faults in the
machine; (b) atmospheric difficulties
and dangers; (c) We human equa-
tlon"
AS to (a), the aeroplane may be
faulty in principle and construction, or
the materials may be to blame. AS a
rule, where the aeroplane is at fault
the engine is the root of the evil, and
one great danger to aviators is over
heating Of the engine or some part OF
it. You see, an aeroplane engine has
practically to work at full pressure the
whole time the aviator Is in the air. A
railway engine driver who gets hot
bearing can slacken or send his fire
man to put things right.
The aviator's greatest safety lies in
maintaining high specific slacken
may mean disaster; he cannot attend
to the affected part himself and he
has no one to help him. The practical
ly unavoidable overheating of the en-

page or loss of power, followed by a
headlong dash to earth, is frequent
cause of disaster.
Turning to o., the sea, with all its
known and charted currents, tides
rocks, and so on, still wrecks ships
but the air Is a thousand times more
battling than the sea. It's density and
it's pressure are constantly changing
the aviator may at any moment fly
into an aerial whirlpool, a gust OF
wind, the confguration of the land
over which he is flying may introduce
sudden dangers not previously encoun-
tered, upset all his calculations and ex-
perience and send him smashing to the
earth.
Personally have a theory which
may explain one or two hitherto mex
plicable flying accidents, says a writer
in Parsons Weekly. l believe that

n HE experts in both. the army and
Il the navy are watching with keen
interest the development of the
heavier-than-air craft. While the Of
ficials are not willing to say much pub
licly about the possibilities of the use
of airships in time of war, they are
saying privately that the probability
is that when the next great war comes
the airship will play more effective
part than battleships, land batteries,
or great masses of troops.
The prediction is freely made by
army and navy officials in private that
not a dollar will ever be spent in forti-
flying for the protection of the Panama
canal. They have arrived at this con-
clusion because they think they fore
see that within few years the airship
will be brought to a stage of perfec-
ton that will enable it quickly to de-
stroy any Notifications that might be
erected along the route of the canal.

clined to appropriate money for the

there are, so to speak, holes" in the
air, that through causes / have moi
yet made sure of a vacuum Is created
in the atmosphere. The aviator flies
into this empty space, and without any
warning drops like a gigantic cannon
ball. A aeroplane may weigh half g
ton or more-imagine that, if you can
dropping through hole" in the air.
Now we come to the human eQua
tion," in other words, mistakes on the
part of the aviator as a cause Of disas
ter.
A frequent cause of accident, more
especially in the earlier days of avia-
ton, was the airman's taking the air
at too steep an angle.
1t is a little difficult to explain on
paper, but please imagine man try
ing to climb up perfectly smooth in
clined plank or surface which affords
him neither hand-hold nor foot-hold.
So long as the plank is at moderate
angle there will be sufficient friction
between it and his body to enable him
to stay on it, even to wiggle his way
along. But tilt the plank upward. and
at a certain angle nothing can save
him, he must fall backward.
Now, in aviation the air is the plank,
the aeroplane being on 1t. If the avia-
tor rises too sharply it is like trying to
climb up the smooth plank tilted up
right. He cannot do it the machine
must drop to earth. Similarly in de-
scending, if the aviator comes down at
too sharp an angle the machine must
fall to the ground as inevitably as a
man lying on a smooth plank head
downward must drop when 1t Is tilted
upright.
So far have only dealt with the
risks of flying due to the machine, the
air. the man, but in conclusion there is
the danger that aviators cause to each
other by flying too close to another
machine. The recent terrible accident
to the Baroness de la Roche Is said to
have been caused by another aero
plane flying near her. l do not know
what truth there is in this charge, but
an aeroplane is not constructed to
stand sudden pressure from above, and
a real point of danger arises when one
machine is below another.
There is still one cause of flying &C
cidents that have not yet mentioned.
That is the growing tendency of the
nublic at aviation meetings to expect
the air men to fly, whatever the condi-
tons. That brutal spirit should be
sternly suppressed.

the word may" because there is not
available at this time much definite
information on which to make specula-
ton will be.
The remarkable increase in the pop
ulation of Oklahoma must be taken
into consideration in a speculation as
to where the center of population is
likely to light" A fact worth bearing
in mind is that the increases in popu-
latiOn in the east particularly have
been in the larger cities.
The center of population has moved
almost due westward since 1890, when
it was at point % miles east of Balti-
more. From 1890 to 1900 it moved
almost due west to a point 18 miles
west of Baltimore. In the next ten
years, from 1900 to 1910, it moved
westward and slightly southwark to a
point about forty miles northwest by
west of Washington.
During the ten years between 1890
and 1900 the center" moved west
ward little over IA miles and south
ward little less than three miles, and
halted at a point six miles southeast
of Columbus, Ind. This movement be-
tween 1890 and 1900 was the smallest
in 100 years.
The center" will have to travel
something like 70 miles to get beyond
the borders of Indiana this year.
