To complete the days events Roy
Knabenshue and Lincoln Beachey, in

Knabenshue, higher by fifty feet

MAKING THEM SETTLE.
Travellers Arriving in New York Do
Not Find Customs Joke.

Collector Loeb of the port of New
York has proved a valuable servant
of Uncle Sam. Under him travellers
arriving at the American metropolis
from abroad have found the matter
of customs to be anything but joke.
Up to the year just past the greatest
sum collected on the baggage of
steamship passengers was $480,212 in
the year 1906. But 1909 beat that
year by over 100 per cent, for last
year there was collected $1,032,552.
The collector believes that even this
amount will be increased when it be-
comes possible to put an absolute end
to petty smuggling.

$4,000 Watch Flight as Paulhan
Breaks All Records For Altitude.

Breaks All Records For Altitude.
ond day of the contest Louis Paul
han, French aviator, broke all Off
cial and unofficial records for alti-
tude in a Farman bi-place today by
flying to a height of more than 1000
feet and descending safely after so
minutes 46 LIS seconds in the air.
The exact height is not known, but
it is certain he exceeded the record
of 5000 feet.
The instrument on Paulhan's ma
chine registered the greatest height
of 1900 feet.
The Judges record of Paulhans
altitude, which is to be sanctioned Of
ficially, was 1,54O meters, approx
scent was minutes 80 seconds.
Almost Beyond Sight.
Paulhan is the idol OF the crowd
tonight. He made his record shortly
after losing the speed record of the
course to Glenn H. Curtiss. The
Frenchman, using an engine that had
just arrived from Paris, had been on
the course all the afternoon. He had
circled the course again and again,
skidding and dipping and swinging
corners in daring fashion that made
his wife SILVER with fright.
The wind barely stirred. Paulhan
made a short circle over the $4,000
spectators Curtiss had previously
tried the higher currents and came
down.
Paulhan pointed north, went up a
thousand feet, passed over the CEN
ter of the field again, then turned
north and up again. The crowd grew
| breathlessly intent as the Frenchman
and his air machine rapidly became
a speck in the gathering twilight.
$4,000 See Flights.
| At the height of 1900 feet Paul
han described a great circle to feel
the currents. When word spread
that he had beaten Hubert Latham
record of $4,000 feet the vast thrOng
became frantic After the aviator
was as near out of sight at he could
be without disappearing Paulhan be-
gan to descend. He came down cas-
lily in front of the grandstand after
having risen to the plane of the
mountain peaks.
Paulhan gave the crowd another
treat earlier in the afternoon in his
Farman machine. Rising in a wide
circle to a height of 500 feet he
sailed a mile or more over the adj
joining fields. Then he swept back
to earth

Balloons in a Race.

In quick succession Curtiss estab-
lished a starting record and a record
for landing, but Willard coming next
to the trial at landing beat the best
his chief couldsdO. Curtiss, however
set new record for getting away to
make up for the landing honor he
lost. He started from a marked
square of ten feet, flew about the
field for two minutes, and, returning.
landed exactly in the same spot.

Louis lie Debonnaire was one of the
first Europeans to notice the comet?'
The story is told by chronicler of
the period, known as the astronomer.
During the Easter festival, he
writes, "a phenomenon, always sad
presa ge, appeared in the heavens. AS
soon as the king, who was much inter
ested in these matters, beheld it, he
sent for me and demanded what 1
thought of such sign.
Onfthe astronomer begging for time

which will announce to me a change of
the throne and the death of the prince
Have no fear replied the astrono-
mer.
The king answered, We ought not
to have fear. The same God created
both the stars and ourselves.
But this phenomenon can bring us
warning from heaven.
The king and his court" the astron-
omer adds, gave themselves up to
fasting and prayer for eight days.

Will Return War Trophies

The French government, as a token
of sympathy with the Mexican republic
on the celebration of the centenary CT
Mexico's independence, has decided to
return the silver keys of the city, which
were presented to General Forey on
June TO- 1853, when the French troops
under his command entered the capi-
tal says the London Globe.
This symbolic trophy, with others,
cannons, muskets and flags, had been
brought TO France by Colonel de Gal
lifet, himself severely wounded.
M. de Mier, formerly Mexican min
lister in Paris, has announced the in
tention of the French government to
President Diaz. and the good feeling
which impeUed the restitution is warm
ly reciprocated in Mexico.

Preserving a Historic Chapel

At Roscoff in Brittany there is a
little granite chapel which is asso-
ciated with the landing there in 154s
of Mary Queen of Scots. at the age
of 5, says the London Globe.
Locally, the chapel is sometimes
called by the name of the Scottish
Saint Ninian. but more often La Cha
pere de Marie Stuart. and is a source
of great interest both TO British and
French visitors. from the tradition
that il was built TO commemorate
Mary's safe landing at Roscoff and her
escape from the ships of her grand
uncle, Henry VIII.
The late marquis of Butte saved
the building from removal and ef
fected certain repairs on it. There
after it fell into sad state of neg
Iect, and was used externally as an
advertising station and internally as
a wood store.
Lord Guthrie, son of the famous di-
vine visited the Roscof chapel and.
struck with it's vicissitudes. made an
appeal to prevent its falling into utter
ruin. The appeal was successful and
the safety of the little sanctuary is
insured for many years to come.
The walls have been Cemented on
the top and thoroughly pointed, the
tracery in the east window has been
repaired and the south window tracery
renewed, and new doors have been put
in the west sile and on the south
side, along the street known as lie
Venelle. of course. the invitations to
read lie Petit Parisien and to buy alb
sinthe and to attend furniture auc-
tions are gone forever.
The town council has underta ken to
look after the building in future and
it is possible that, through the in
f1uence of the Franco Scottish society
it may yet be put on the list of ma
tional monuments.
