THE GYROPLANE
An Air Ship that Rivals the Dreams of
Jules Verne

St. Louis, July 1.-The incorporation
of the Universal Aerial Navigation
Company has revealed plans for a COM
| merc1al passenger airship that rivals the
dreams of Jules Verne Officials of the
company declare that within year they
will have ship that will carry I'D
hundred passengers, in 6o-mi1e wind,
at a speed. of 100 miles an hour.
The machine is the invention of 7. w.
Oman, formerly of San Antonio, Tex.
One is under construction in the shops
Of the inventor here. The inventor
claims that his ship can start either from
land or water and that it will ascend
straight into the air or can be launched
like an aeroplane. The new airship is
called gyroplane, SO named from the
fact that it is a combination of the gv-
roscope, the helicopter and the aero
plane. Its promoters say it can be built
III any size, from a two-man runabout
or SeVen-passenger touring car to al
monster of the air that will carry fifty
or one hundred passengers.
"A thirty or forty-ni1e breeze would
be help rather than hindrance to Our
machine, said the inventor today. I'VE
will maintain absolute equilibrium in
short of cyclone. The usual
obstacles that prevent the flight of an
a1rship will be as nothing TO this ma
shine of ours"
1t is planned to construct machines
that will maintain regular service be-
tween cities ana, States, and even coun-
.ries. The gasoline supply may be un-
limited. The machine has been inspect
ed by government engineers and patents
rave been granted covering almost ev-
Try feature. The machine is to be con
'tructed entirely of aluminium and mac
ldamlte. 1t is fitted with two engines.

THE CADDO REPRESENTATIVES
IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The representatives of Caddo parish
in the Legislature, Hon. T. C. Barrett ir
the Senate and Hon. L. E. Thomas
Hon. Henry Hunsicker, Hon. w H. B
Groom and Hon. Leon R. Smith in the
House, have returned home, each re-
ceiving the cordial greetings of their
friends.
Caddo has Jared we'll in the Legisla-
ture, and much better than other par
ishes.
Among the good things obtained may
be mentioned the acquisition by the city
of Cross lake at which is to be main
tanned a supply of pure water for the
use of the people.
An increased appropriation for the
Charity Hospital
An appropriation of $1,000 a year for
two years for prizes and premiums to be
distributed by the State Fair of Louis
lana.
The commission form of government
(which may become effective if a ma
jority of the people favor it.
An appropriation of $4,000 with
which to employ special counsel for the
purpose of securing relief from the ar
bitrary and oppressive discrimination of
the Texas Railroad Commission against
Shreveport and Louisiana.
The conservation of gas and oil in
the gas and oil field of Caddo.
The prohibition of the sale of claims
against wage earners, especially railroad
men, for the purpose of entering suits
in other States.
The inspection of all gas, water and
electric meters and requiring the pay
nent of interest on all deposits made
with the companies furnishing gas, wa
ter or electricity.
The tax applying to peddlers was re
duced and it has been emphasized that
no license can be required of the farmer
who sells his own produce.
In this good work the representatives
of Caddo were active, and it is to their
credit that they secured all the 1egisia-
ton worth having which they sought
for the good of their constituency and
for the State

SELF-DISOUALIFIED

Coushatta Citizen: Some fifteen or
twenty voters in town find themselves
unable to vote in the special school tax
election to be held on the 10Th. 1t is
really surprising how men have neglect
ed to register when every newspaper in
the State has repeatedly warned voters
that each one must register under the
new registration law of 1908. But with
all the warning, fully twenty per cent of
the voters here and all over the State
have failed to register and are not quail
fled voters.

LAUGH, LITTLE FELLOW

Laugh, little fellow, laugh and sing
| And just be glad for everything!
! Be glad for morning and for night,
For sun and stars that laugh with light
For trees that chuckle in the breeze,
For singing birds and humming bees
Be one of them and laugh along
And weave your gladness in your song
Let nothing but the twink1e-tears
Come to your eyes these happy years,
When you are free of task and toll
And all the frets that come to spoil
The hours of folks whose feet have pac-
ed ..>.
The road along which all must haste
Laugh, little fellow, for it drives
The shadows out of other lives.
Go ron1ping care free as you will
Across the meadow, up the hill,
And shout~your message far away
For all the world to join your play.
This is the time for laughter; now
When time has not set OH your brow
The finger prints that come with care.
And leave abiding wrinkles there.
Laugh little fellow, laugh and sing
And coax the joy from everything;
lake gladness at its fullest worth
And make each hour an hour of mirth,
so that when on the downward slope
If life the radiant sky of hope
Will bend above you all the way !
And make you happy, as today.

ing.
The Lurline uses no gangways. and
when outgldc the means Of getting on
board her Is ladder thrown over
the side. There were several per-
CONS ON the launch who went out TO
meet friends and relatives, and these
men were mostly of scdentary habits
and were not accustomed to scaling
the perpendicular side of a ship. A
good swell was running. and with no
lee after the doctor boarded those
non-athleti men had a fine time
jumping for the ladder on the up-roll
OF the launch and scrambling up
ward.
Captain Weldon brought his ship
alongside the Hackfcld wharf at IL
O'Clock. and cargo discharge was be-
gun almost Immediately the passen-
gers had gone ashore.

For Kahului there are 1i25 tons
of cargo on the Lurline, including
several cotton boilers for Paia.
This is the last trip of the Lur-
line before going on the ways for
repairs. which will include more
stateroOms. so that the vessel will
have accommodations for seventy
cabin passengers.
According to Information received
by the Lurline, the deck will be ex-
tended aft only far enough to make
the smoEing-room and the present
smoking-room will be made into cab
ins, no idea of running the desk like
the Wilhelmina being entertained.
The Lurline will be laid up for
three weeks. and during that time
her run will be taken by the Hilo-
nian. which is now on the way To

APPORTIONMENT OF

WASHINGTON. Sept 19.-onc of
the FIRST questions with which the ap
preaching session of congress will be
called upon tu grapplc will he to de-
tcrmine when the next apportionm mt
Of members Of the House Of Repre-

shall hc made.
While II Is not actually required by
the Constitution that instrument i'm.
lies that relpporti0nmcnt shall follow
each deconniai enumeration OF the pco.
pie. and accordingly redistribution
of seats in the House membership has
taken place hitherto soon after the
conclusion Of each cCusuE.
Up TO 1890 the rcapportiOnmcnt was
uniformly postponed until the first
session OF the congress succeeding the
enumeration. but after the llth Cen.

rest with the approaching session to
determine whether II shall follow the
old or the new precedent. Politics
may dctcrminc the choice.
Before the time for the meeting OF
Congress the result OF the November
elections will have become known. II
the Democrats should come into con.

gress they would naturally resist any
effort to have the change mad by
the present Republican congress, while
the Republicans would be as anxious
TO have the service performed while
they were IN control of Legislation in

Apportionment In itself can be used
for party advantage only through the
manipulation of population fractions
in the various stltes. II the present
day plan Of fixing upon definite

In the distribution Is followed many
states will be found to have u con
siderable number of citlz'ns over the
number necessary to give them the
number OF members assigned them.
The size of the Ilous7 once detcrmin'

Is arrived at by dividing the aggre-

total membership of the House and
then dividing the population OF any
given stnte by the uuotient thus OBJ

sues upon each of such divisions a
remainder. large or small. Aside from
arbitrarily fixing the representation on
the voting rather than the actual po-

affords the only base of manipulation
of the apportionment of members.
II used to the extreme II might be
an important factor as no fewer than
20 representatives now hold their

A CameI's Stomach.

The stomach of a camel is divided
into four compartments, and the walls
of one of these are lined with large
cells, every one of which can be opened
and closed at will by means of power
full muscles. When a camel drinks it
drinks a very great deal. Indeed. it
goes drinking on for such very long
time that really you would think that
1t never meant to leave off. But the
fact is that 1t is not only satisfying
its thirst, but is filling up Its cistern
as well. One after another the cells
in its stomach are filled with the water,
and as soon as each is quite full it is
tightly closed. Then when the animal
becomes thirsty a few hours later all
that 1t has to do is TO open one Of
the cells and allow the water to flow
out. Next day it opens one or two
more cells, and so it goes Oh day after
day until the whole supply is ex-
hausted. In this curious way a camel
can live five or even six days without
drinking at all and so is able to travel
quite easily through the desert. where
the wells are often hundreds of miles
apart

Genius and Mediocrity.

Corneille did not speak correctly the
language Of which he was such a mas
ter. Descartes was silent in mixed
society. Themistocles, when asked to
play on a lutte, said, II cannot fiddle,
but can make a little village into a
great city" Addison was unable to
converse in company. Virgil was heavy
colloquially. La Fontaine was coarse
and stupid when surrounded by men.
The Countess Of Pembroke had been
often heard to say Of Chaucer that his
silence was more agreeable to her
than his conversation. Socrates, cele-
brated for his written orations, was so
timid that he never ventured to speak
in public. Dryden said that he was
unfit for company. Hence it has been
remarked, "1ediocrity can talk; it is
for genius to observe"
