enclosing a balloonette and has been
suspended at a considerable distance
below the cigar-shaped body The
result of the suspension of the en-
gine far below the body of the balloon
Is that the center Of resistance to air
pressure was at too great a distance
above the center of propulsion.
In the Blue Bird airship which has
been designed for transatlantic work,
the body of the balloon Is rendered
rigid by the singular formation which
turns the keel as it were into the
backbone of the airship itself. The
airship can carry inside the keel a
crew of ten persons, two engines aft,
and on the under side of the keel,
which is 160 feet in length, is a Sc
ries Of immense reservoirs.
This huge ship offers far less re-
sistance to progress through the at
mosphere than any ship hitherto con-
structed; while owing to its extreme
ly simple design 1t can carry more
power than any other. The whole
command of the ship is concentrated
in the hands of the pilot In the center

simple appliances which can, at the
touch Of a finger, put in or throw out
OF action, as desired, the motors pro-
pellers, rudder, ventilators and valves.
The powers of the Blue Bird air.
ship for its transatlantic voyage are
as follows: 1t can carry five tons of
petrol. 1t can stay eighty hours in
the air. 1t can rise to height of TO-
600 feet above the level of the sea. 1t
has a maximum speed of so miles an
hour; and consequently a radius OF
action over no less than 1000 miles,
without descending; and it can COM
fortably carry crew of ten persons.
The next remarkable feature of this
airship is that by the construction of
It's engine 1t can use either gas or
petrol at the same time or separately;
by this means automatically lessening
its weight by using petrol (Which it
carries as ballast) aand then using gas
to prevent the rise which otherwise
the decrease in weight would cause.
This reinforcement Of petrol by the
use of hydrogen gas is an absolutely
new feature and the result of the
combustion is to increase the radius
of action and distance Of flight by no
less than one-third.
Another feature Of the Blue Bird
airship is that it Is not affected by
change Of temperature, or hot sun, as
have been all previous airships. The
action of the sun affects the volume
Of the gas; the action Of rain over

UNITED STATE MAY
BUY WRIGHT PATENTS

Chicago.-Will the United States
government be empowered to pur-
chase from the Wright brothers for
S1,OOO,OOO the basic patents which
practically control aviation, so that
the important assets may be transferr-
d to the whole people in the interest
of the development and science of
flying?
4 bill with this end in view has been
drawn up by Charles F. Dutch of the
Harvard law school. and II the pro-
moters of this unique campaign are
successful the measure will be intro
duced in congress by some member
o; the house of representatives at the
next session. Mr.. Dutch aims to
/ prevent monopoly of aerial navi-
cation, to stimulate aviation and to
compensate the Wright brothers for
their patents"
Text of the Bill
The bill as framed follows:
Resolved. BY the senate and house
o. representatives of the United States
of America. in congress assembled.

rected to purchase from Wilbur
Wright and Orville Wright of Ohio

Section 2. That for the purchase
OF said inventions or devices the sum
of S1,000.000 or as much thereof as
may be necessary, is hereby appro-
prlated out of any money in the treas
ury not otherwise appropriated"
Could Restrict Aviation.
THE Wrights are not philanthropy
lists any more than others who own
great patents" said one of the local
builders of aeroplanes. "They have a
perfect right to their own, but the fact
remains that so long as they exert
their influence against the promiscu-
Gus use of their patents aviation in
this country must necessarily be re-
stricted. If the Wrights are so in
clined, they can keep out the best
known foreign aviators whose ma
chimes include features that are COW
cred by the Wright patents.
For this reason my original sug-
gestion that the wrights be recon-
pensed and their patents turned over
to the people still holds good. II

CHAPTER xxxIIl.-continued.

As Alex and l reached the second
hoor Mr. Jameson met us. He was
grave and quiet, and he nodded COM
prehendingly when he saw the safe.
"Will you come with me for mo-
ment, Miss Innes?" he asked soberly.
and on my asserting, he led the way
to the east wing There were lights
moving around below, and some Of
the maids were standing gaping down.
They screamed when they saw me,
and drew back to let me pass. There
was a sort of hush over the scene;
Alex, behind me, muttered something
l could not hear, and brushed past me
without ceremony. Then l realized
that man was lying doubled up at
the foot of the staircase, and that
Alex was STOPPING over him.
AS I came slowly down, Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself, looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand he held shaggy gray wig, and
before me on the floor lay the man
whose headstone stood in Casanova
churchyard-Paul Armstrong.
Winters told the story in a dozen
words. In his headlong flight down
the circular staircase, with Winters
just behind, Paul Armstrong had
pitched forward violently, struck his
head against the door to the east ver-
anda, and probably broken his neck.
He had died as Winters reached him.
AS the detective finished, saw Hal
sey. pale and shaken. in the card
room doorway, and for the first time
that night l lost my self-control. put
my arms around my boy. and for a
moment he had to support me. A sec
ond later, over Halsey's shoulder,
saw something that turned my emo
tion into other channels, for behind

was kissing her!

opened my mouth; then l turned Hal
sey around and pointed. They were
quite unconscious of us; her head was
on his shoulder, his face against her
hair AS it happened, it was Mr..
Jameson who broke up the tableau.
He stepped over to Alex and
touched him on the arm.
"And now." he said quietly, "how
long are you and l to play our little
comedy, Mr.. Bailey?"

OF DR.. Walkers sensational escape
that night to South America. of the
recovery of over 100000 in cash
and securities in the safe from the
chimney room-the papers have kept
the public well informed. OF my share
in discovering the secret chamber
they have been singularly silent. The
inner history has never been told. Mr.
Jameson got all kinds of credit, and
some of it he deserved, but If Jack
Bailey, as Alex, had not traced Halsey
and insisted on the disinterring of
Paul Armstrong; casket, If he had
not suspected the truth from the
start, where would the detective have
been?
When Halsey learned the truth, he
insisted on going the next morning,
weak as he was. to Louise, and by
night she was at Sunnyside, under
Gertrude's particular care, while her
mother had gone to Barbara Fitz-
hughs.

strong l never knew, but that he was

fident. It was Halsey's way always

Hunters Kill Big Grizzly.

The monster grizzly bear that for
years has been making many sleepless
nights for the farmers, miners and
residents of the northwestern Trinity
region has at last been slain.
This monarch Of the forest and
slayer of small domestic animals was
killed by Thomas Mcdonald, wealthy
mining man who has been camping
along the Salmon range in Trinity.
Single-handed Mcdonald, who is a
mountaineer Of marked ability, killed
the bear after lively tussle.
The bear weighed 1000 pounds, and
is the finest and biggest specimen
ever seen in the Trinity mountain re.
