DID NOTABLE AVIATION FEAT

To Eugene Ely, the aviator belongs the
honor of making the first successful flight from
the deck of a naval vessel to land in an aero
plane. The feat was accomplished from the deck
of the scout cruiser Birmingham. which was
anchored in Hampton Roads off Old Point Com
fort When Ely climbed into his machine he
faced biting wind. driving cold rain and occa
sionai furries of hail. The bluejackets who
were holding the machine on the launching
platform were ordered to let go. and the biplane
gded gracefully downward until the wheels
and propeller touched the water about 100 feet
ahead Of the Birmingham. Every spectator
breathed hard for moment when it looked as
though the machine would not be able to arise
from the water. but Ely sent it upward by skill

The cr..pinn Of Rails.


Do you know that railroad rails
creep? They do and on lines running
north and south the western rail
'creeps" faster than the eastern rail-
that Is. this strange movement OF the
rail- toward the south is more marked
IN one rail than In the other on the
same track. Furthermore, II has been
noticed that on such line the eastern
rnil wears out the faster Both OF
these points can be explained by the
motion Of the earth as 1t turns from
the west toward the east Everything
that has free motion is dragged after
the whirling globe. Every wind that
blows and every tide that moves feels
the influence. and train going north
or south Ii pulled over toward the
east and naturally presses the eastern
rail most heavily. The western rail.
being relieved OF It's share OF weight,
"creeps" more freely aud quickly. II
Is also noticed that the wheels that
run on the eastern rail- wear out first.
and one cannot but think that this
earth motion IS the true cause.-Pitts-

Ruth was able by close application TO
make six or seven skirts a day, thus
earning as much as $i4 per week-suf
hcient for her modest needs.
After time the factory reduced the
price for making skirts to 80 cents
each Ruth simply worked harder and
was sim able to make her $i4.
Then later came a further reduction

much strife and a strike was talked

A year later the managers of the
factory further reduced the price-to
