New York, Sept. 17.-American in
genuity at last has devised a mono
plane that bids fair to equal the best
performances of the French airships
that have recently been capturing
flying honors
The first l-acticable American
built machine of this type was exhib-
tied at the aviation field at Garden

child, New York electrical engineer
who believes that be gained great
stride in American aeronautics.
Fairchild demonstrated In hight the
practicability of his IN nonoplane which
is built upon original lines and which
was constructed against the criticism
of experts. He successfully hew back
and forth over the aviation grounds,
skimming through the air on even
keel under perfect control. The ma
chine is built to resemble a gigantic
blackbird.
The. aviator declared that his ma
chine is capable of making seventy
miles an hour in speed. Aviation ex-
perts were keenly interested in his
fight and acknowledged that Fair
child had given a great impetus to
aviation in America through his in
vention.
Heretofore America has been repre-
sented in the air by birlanes only.
and while these bigger machines have
many advantages they have been dis
tanced on all the recent events by
their smaller and faster rivals with

Niagara Falls, Sept. 17.-Captain
Klaus Larsen Of Cleveland, Ohio. the
latest daredevil navigator to tempt
death in the treacherous whirlpool
Rapids, made a final test with his
eight-horse power motor boat this
morning.
Il am positive that l will come out
alive for I have studied the currents
and the position Of the rocks" said
Larsen after an examination Of his en-
gines for a trial spin.
The Whirlpool Rapids stretch over
seven miles where the water in the
narrow canyon boils white over jag
ged rocks in its treacherous bed.
Captain Webb, the worlds champion
swimmer, and the only man to swim
the English channel. lost his life try
ing to negotiate the same course.
Relies Upon Current.
Larsen announced today that he
would rely mainly upon the swiftness
of the current and said that he be-
lieyed he could make the trip sue
cessfully in fifteen minutes.
Crowds surrounded his little motor
boat this morning while the navigator
put the finishing touches on his ar
rangements.
II am taking a life preserver with
me- said he, "in case of an accident
My boata can make only eight miles
an hour, but speed is not necessary in
such an undertaking as this The ter
rife current will be the driving force. !"
AS the crowds looked at the frail
little boat and then at the dangerous
rock stream canyon there was not one
who thought that Larsen would make
the trip successfully The toll of
death by whirlpool Rapids has been
large and the fear that one more hui
man life today would be added to its
total, was almost general while Lar.
sen was calmly making his arrange
ments to start.

ton Of nux vomica amounted in
round numbers, in 1908, to 100000
pounds, valued at $4,000, while the
quantity imported in the decade end.
ing with 1908 amounted to about 2j,,
100000 pounds, valued at over $i00,,
600. This article comes in the form
of large round seeds Of a tree grown
chiefly in southern Asia, and is used
in the manufacture Of atrychnine and
certain uncwes ana tonics pre-.
