and Aviation School VIII
Soon Be Opened.

st. Petersburg Russia is putting
forth strenuous efforts to get ahead
of France and Germany In the field
of aeronautics. Funds are. being col

ton will soon be opened at Moscow.
The Moscow Society for the En-
.couragement of the Applied Sciences
is endowing an aerodynamical labora-
tory In the university, and also an
other in the Technical school there.
M. Ulyaninoff, chief of the Warsaw
section. of aviation. has invented an
aeroplane, a model of which was ex-
hibited in Moscow last December. The
construction now is nearing compile
ton. a characteristic of this aero
plane is capacity to adjust itself to
changing atmospheric conditions. It Is

FAT MANS PALLBEARERS.
Crew of Plano Movers Use Tackle to
Get Coffin Containing 402-Pound
Body From the House.

Waterbury, Conn.-With crew OF
piano movers acting as pallbearers,
George S. Reid was buried. He weigh
ed 402 pounds and was the heaviest
man in Connecticut.
Reid not long ago succeeded Dan
Wadsworth as president of the Fat
Mems club, to which Wadsworth had
been elected for life when he COM
PEELED the warden of the Hartford Jail
to leave him in the corridor because
there was no cell large enough to hole
him.
When Reid died coffin thirty-two
inches wide had to be built for him. 1t
weighed ESQ pounds. This afternoon
the bearers tried in vain to lift the
652 pounds made up by Reid and his
coffin. Then it was discoY cred that
the coffin would not go through the
door. A crew of piano movers was
summoned, and after the sashes had
been removed from window the cof-
fin was lowered with tackle. 1t
was lowered into the grave In the
same way.

SWAN TO SHORE IN BASKET
Desiring to Join His Sweetheart, a
Sailor Risks Life in Jumping
From Ship.

Love for an old sweetheart and DE-
sire to save her from marriage ar
ranged by her parents impelled Maxim

or on the steamer Inaba Maru, to risk
his life In daring attempt to escape
from the vessel
Waiting until the dark hours Of the
might Makinzono picked up a bamboo
basket, and, holding 1t over his head,
Ileaped from the steamer. Both guards
and ships officers heard the splash
and rushed to the spot Electric flash
lamps and the ships searchlight shot
their rays over the waters, but all
that was discernible was a bamboo
basket bobbing around in the bay. Ap-
|parently without any guidance the
basket fioated around the end of the
grain elevator and disappeared. In the
morning Makinzono was missed, and
investigation developed the manner Of
his escape

PRIZE SULKER DIES
ANGERED AT MISFORTUNE, MAN
is SILENT 81 YEARS.
Staid in Bed for is Years, Waited on
by Hard-Working Sister
Question Is VIII He Sulk on
e the Other Side?

Somerville, N. J.-Silas Hoffman,
the hermit of Bedminster, who, while
apparently in perfect health, had kept
his bed and refused to speak except
once for 81 years, is dead. He passed
away maintaining the silence which
he had steadfastly preserved for more
than a quarter of century.
Just before he died he made an eff
fort to speak to his devoted sister,
Mrs. Margaret Lane, who has cared
for him In his lonely habitation
throughout his eccentric career, but
1t was too late. Through long years
of silence, in which he never uttered
a word, he had lost his power Of ar
ticulation.
Hoffman was 67 years old. Wheth-
er he was insane was never deter
mined, although he had been exam
ined by score of physicians with a
view to ascertaining his mental condi-
ton. His eternal silence and the
blank smile baffled alienists and ply
sicians. At different times during his
life needles had been thrust into his
flesh by physicians without making
him vince or utter sound.
Hoffman spent his early life on his
fathers farm. At the age of thirty
he purchased a farm and was the
owner of spanking team of gray
horses. of which he was very proud.
He was fond of society and was
known the country round as gay
young man. Misfortune overlook him.
He lost his farm and finally his pet
team of horses. This broke his heart.
He went to bed and turned his face
to the wall and for long time re-
fused to either speak or partake of
food. Food was left on a table near.
his bed and when he was nearly
starved he arose one night from his
bed and ate meal and took stroll
out of doors. He continued to arise
each night and eat a meal and then
take a short walk in his garden for a
number Of years.
One winters night more than Is
years ago, while walking In his gar

and broke his arm. After that acct
dent he never arose from his bed or
passed out of the door. In all the
years that have since passed he has
been cared for like an infant by his
widowed sister, Mrs. Lane, who has
shared with him her scanty income
and has also received So week for
his maintenance from Bedminster
township.
Hoffman broke his silence just once
in 81 years and that was more than 20
years ago, when Peter Lane, his sis
ter's husband, died.
Mrs. Lane was weeping over the
death of her husband when Hoffman
staggered from his bed and in a voice
that was almost uncanny exclaimed:
Don't cry, Margaret, will protect
you" Then he fell to the floor in
faint and was assisted back to his
bed, which he kept for the remain.
der Of his life.
Physicians have been expecting
Hoffman to die from sheer inactivity
every year for the last decade.

Great Results Are Expected From
New Submarine Cable Laid In
English Channel.

acknowledgement communication
between London and New York may
be looked for before long II new
submarine cable recently laid across
the English channel by the British
post Office answers expectations.
The cable, which extends from
Dover to Cape Girls Nez. is the first
of its kind laid in tidal waters. The
tests SO far made have given satisfac-
tory results.
The efficiency OF the new cable for
telephone communication has been in
creased more than three times by the
insertion of loading coils In the cable
at intervals Of one knot. The coils re-
duce the distortion of the current i'm
pulses which correspond to the
spoken sounds, and so render the
speech more distinct.
The new cross-channel cable will be
opened for public use between London
and Paris as soon as the French gov
eminent has completed the connecting
land lines.
The cable has been laid partly for
purposes OF experiment. the object
being to determine the limits of pos
sible Improvement by the use OF the
new type, with view to its applica-
ton to communication between places
which have hitherto been beyond tele-
phonic range:
