Novelty In Equine Headgear.

A new style of horses hat has ap-
peared on the east side of New York
city. The inventor. a driver. says that
it is more slightly than the old straw
slot cared protector and satisfies those
comfort requirements which the other
did not. In shape the new headpiece
resembles a tennis racket. The flap
is les to extend far enough down
ward between the eyes to protect the
brain. which, the designer says, lies
beneath q horses forehead and not
between his ears. as the old hat would
seem to indicate. The smaller end is
fashioned TO extend backward and
fasten to the top of the bride. The
inventor hopes to make his creation
the fashion.

Hour-Machine Can Stand Still al
One Spot In the Air Indefinitely.
The Incorporation of an aerial nav.
igation company at st. Louis has re-
vealed plans for a commercial passen
ger airship that rivals the widest
dreams of Jules Verne. Officials OF
the company declare that within Il
year they will have a ship that will
carry up a hundred passengers in Il
forty mile wind and at a speed of 1GU
miles an hour.
The machine is the invention of J..
w. Oman. formerly Of San Antonio.
Tex, but ut present at st. Louis. Onr
is in process of construction in the
shops of the inventor at st. Louis. The
inventor claims that his ship can start
either from the land or water. He de
clares it will ascend straight into the
air or can be launched in the
of III aeroplane.
May Be Built In Any Size.
The new airship is called Il gyro-
plane, SO named from the fa t hat it is
a combination of gyro &. the hell
copter and the aeror lie. Its pro-
moters say it can be Luilt in any size
from a two man runabOut or a sever
passenger touring t to monster of
the air that will ~-4.y fifty or a hun
dred passengers.
"A thirty or forty mile breeze would
be a help rather than a hindrance 10
our machine said the inventor the
other day. I'VE will maintain abSo-
lutte equilibrium in anything short of
a cyclone. The usual obstacles that
prevent the flight of an ordinary air
ship will be as nothing to this machine
of ours"
1t is planned to construct machines
that will maintain q regular service
between cities and states and even
countries.
Carries Four Huge PropeIIers.
The gyroscope and the helicopter are
familiar principles in heavier than air
navigation. but never before have they
been applied in the manner employed
by Oman. The model of his ship is
fitted with four huge propellers. twelve
feet in diameter. which may be used
III turn for drawing the machine from
the ground or carrying it through the
air.
The machine has been inspected by
government engineers and pronounced
superior to all others. it is declared.
Ten patents have been granted. over
ing almost every feature of the ma
chine. The machine is TO be construct
ed entirely of aluminium and macad-
amite and besides carrying four propel-
lers is fitted with two engines.
The inventor asserts the machine
can be made to stand still ut one spot
in the air for an indefinite time. I'VE
could drop a thousand bombs on a war
ship from a height of two miles with
out moving Il foot" he declared. Oman
has studied aerial navigation twenty
years.

WASHINGTON.-The United States
w government in fifty years has ac-
cumulated $13.000,000 from unre-
deemed money. A long-standing ques-
ton. namely: How much does a gov
ernment make through the failure of
its citizens to present its paper for
redemption? is answered fairly ac-
eurately for our country in these fig
ures. Expert mathematicians in the
United States have figured on the
problem. and the results they have
obtained by different methods are so
nearly identical as to lead the layman
to feel confident that they have hit
somewhere near the mark.
Obviously the difficulties surround
ing the statistician wishing to tabu-
late the gains of the government from
this source are almost insurmounta-
Bile, If accurate figures are what he is
looking for. The destruction of pa
per money Of all sorts goes on rapid
ly throughout the country, yet this
loss is never reported to the treasury
So the mathematicians have had to
take the complete figures of the gov
ernment redemption division, and by
comparing the average life of notes,
the average percentage of actual re-
demption, and other items of that
sort, have been able to work out a
fairly accurate percentage of paper

THE United States army has lately
i undergone a series of stern and
severe criticisms. Authorities have
studied the existing conditions from
every point of view, and in their re-
ports have delivered their opinions
in a fearless manner. In a report
recently made public one inspector
points out the case of a whole bat
talon of artillery starting out for the
Philippines without a single field Of
f1cer and one of the batteries COM
manded by a second lieutenant of
le } than two years service. In one
department alone third of the line
officers were absent from duty with
their commands under detail, and al
together, the inspector says, the situ-
alton warrants the prediction that re-
suits Of disastrous kind must sooner
or later be realized.
People who think the United States
army stands at the top of the pro-
fession would be rudely Jared to
learn from Inspector General Ball

Gifts of Potentates Vex Uncle Sam

that degree, at least, weaken his al
legiance to this country.
The most noted exception to this
rule by congress was the authorize
ton of acceptance by former Presi.
dent Roosevelt of the Nobel peace
prize, amounting to about $4,000.
Colonel Roosevelt turned this money
over to the department of commerce
and labor to form the basis of a
fund for expenses attending arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
disputes between capital and labor.
Before granting the authorization in
this instance. congress had full knowl-
edge of what was to be done with
the money. The prize was awarded
to Colonel Roosevelt for his efforts
in terminating the war between Rus
sia and Japan.
The action of the house committee
arouses new interest in the notable
collection of valuable and curious
gifts presented by foreigners to Of
fetal Americans which this govern
ment has not authorized acceptance
of by Americans and which are now
in safekeeping In the national mu-
scum and In the state, war and navy

First Report on Infantile Paralysis

as cause Of death has been made
heretofore, but the increasing import.
ance Of the disease and its wide prev.
alence throughout the country in the
form of local epidemics render a
statement of the mortality important.
The $50 deaths compiled for the
registration area for 1909 were widely
distributed, and indicate endemic or
epidemic prevalence in many parts Of
the country. It should be remem.
bered, the bulletin points out, that
the census data relate only to regis
tration sources, and that for the nom
registration states the deaths are
only those returned from the regis
tration cities contained therein.
Pellagra is a new disease in the
mortality statistics, the bulletin
states Only % deaths were returned
from this cause for 1908. and no
deaths for any previous year except
one for 1904. Such deaths undoubt.
ed1y occurred, but were not recog
niged and were consequently returned
as due to other causes or as of uTr
known cause.

Army Wanting i'm Marching Ability

that the field army is wholly unpre-
pared for field service. He says the
new regulations are almost entirely
theoretical or dependent upon the ex-
perience Of European armies. Our
transportation is the same as at the
beginning Of the civil war, for our
army has so far failed to make use
of automobiles, traction engines and
other modern appliances in the field.
The weaknesses could be quickly de-
veloped If the present annual maneu-
vers could be replaced at least once
by the march of a complete army
corps. Very few of our officers have
ever marched with more than a regi.
ment.
To remedy these conditions, Mai.
Gen. Wood, chief of staff, has issued
orders which will change materially
the training of the army. The inspec.
tors general will be required to sub
NIT the troops to an annual inspection
in the field, in addition to the present
inspection, which is described in some
quarters as being little less than an
inquiry into the accounts and gaEri-
son work Of the troops. The new in.
spection will be designed to show the
efficiency of the troops in the theoret-
ical work taught army officers in the
various schools and provided for in
the various drill regulations.

Big Harvest From Unredeemed Money

In such hands that 1t will never reach
the treasury for redemption in gold.
Wellknown authorities who have
worked independently on the subject
found. when they compared notes.
that they had reached substantially
the same result-that of all paper
money issued the government escaped
payment on from one-tenth OF l per
cent to about one-half Of 1 per cent
This, of course, means that the gov
ernment makes on the paper money
it issues a commission varying be-
tween the percentages set forth. The
most definite result shows a gain OF
approximately one-eighth Of 1 per
cent, total gain to the government
amounting to $13,241 900 since the
beginning Of our paper money-about
half century ago.
All sorts of causes contribute to
increase the amount of paper money
that will never be presented for re-
demption. Fire is perhaps the most
important cause, though improved
safes and the more general use OF
safes for holding the cash supply are
annually reducing the loss from this
cause. Then there is sort of inertia
that money seems to have which
keeps it out in the country once II
is started in circulation, even though
1t be of an issue supposed to mature
at a given time. Shipwrecks, too, are
responsible for some of the loss

collection of United States paper
money accounts for at least one piece
of every denomination that has failed

THERE were $50 deaths from
/ acute anterior poliomyelitis, or in
fantile paralysis, 116 from pellagra.
55 from rabies. or hydrophobia, and 9
deaths from leprosy in 1909, in the
death registration area of continental
United States, which comprises over
55 per cent of the total population.
according to the census bureaus
forthcoming bulletin on mortality sta
tistics for 1909, submitted to Census
Director Durand by DR.. Cressy l..
Wilbur, chief statistician for vital
statistics.
It is reported that of the $50 deaths
from infantile paralysis $50 were of
white and only IL of colored persons.
The bulletin states that no statis-
tical segregation of infantile paralysis
