air falls-as a natural sequel. The
air directly above fields and land that
may have retained the heat of the sun
is always rising, and on its upward
passage winds it's way between heavy
clouds, foring them aside, so that
they naturally fall below to fill the
space left by the warmer current.
These in turn get heated and, rising
cause constant changes of mouon in
the upper elements.
One of the peculiar vagaries OF the
air is the fact that some of the upper
currents have, at different stages.
course of opposite direction. Prof. A.
Lawrence Rotch, who is perhaps the
greatest American authority on the
subject, has said: 'In some parts OF
the world, at a height varying from
one-uuarter mile to two miles, the sur
face winds are completely reversed,
the northeast trade winds becoming
southwest and the southeast becoming
northwest hence it is possible
for balloon starting from the Afri-

can coast (for example) to sail far out
over the Atlantic, and rising into the
upper current, to return safely to land.
Another feat, but more dangerous,
would be for balloon starting from
the Southern West Indies to seek
first the upper current, trusting to the
northeast trade wind for the return
journey"
An aviator has ever to be on the

KEEP SECRET
THE RETURNS OF
CORPORATIONS

WASHINGTON Cd. c., Nov. &C.
The Government has given its promise
tc carefully safeguard the secrets of
corporations and intimate details of
their business furnished for the as
sessment of federal taxes. Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh today is
sued a ruling which prevents perusal
of the reports of the curious or by
those who might benefit unfairly by
them.
Mr.. MacVeagh DEGREES that the rec
crds of the corporations shall be kept
under guard in the treasury depart
ment, and that no outside agent OF the

time when there is talk of Germany
coming between Japan and China. It
is also reported that Japan is expect
ing visit from the young Prince of
Wales next year. These movements
of European Princes are causing some
of the Japanese papers to suggest the
advisability of having the Imperial
Crown Prince of Japan make visit
to Europe in return for these visits
from the royal houses of Great Bri-
tain and Germany.
1t is felt by many that the next
ruler of Japan ought at least to see
parts of Europe before coming to the
throne, this being now regarded as a
experience to intelligent

MANY LEAVE WASHINGTON
 TO GREET ROOSEVELT

Washington, June 17.-Political astronomers here today announced that the National Capital will under go total eclipse tomorrow when the Comet Roosevelt" passed between the seat of Congress and the sun of general publicity.

 President Taft leaves the capital early tomorrow morning on another college commencement tour This time he travels to Villa Nova and Lincoln University, Pa, to receive a degree and deliver an address. He will stop long enough in Westchester, Pa, to take an automobile ride with Representative Butler and return to Washington at night.

PORTER CHARLTON
 SAILED FROM GENOA JUNE 8 SAY POLICE
Especial from United Press.)

Como, Italy, June 1.-The police in vestigating the murder of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton, the American woman whose body stuffed into a trunk was drawn from Lake Como a week ago, declared today that they had found positive proof that Porter Charlton, the murdered woman's hus- band sailed from Genoa on the steam CT Verona on June and that he dis embarked at Palermo, there taking passage for either Africa or Turkey. They refused to make public their new evidence but they insist that it leaves no doubt that Charlton Killed his wife.
 Their theory is that Charlton sailed for New York not believeing the body of his wife would be found and that wien he learned at Palermo the news of the discovery of the trunk he realiz- ed the danger of continuing on to New York and changed his course.
 It is also stated by the police that an unassailable alibi has been found for Constantine Ispolatoff, the Russian suspect, covering both J June and June 6. on one of which days it is now cer- tain Mrs. Charlton was murdered and his release within the next A hours is expected.
 The search by divers of the bottom of Lake Como was continued today upon the request of United States Consul Caughy despite the statement of the authorities that it was use less.
 we don't want the American State Department to have any ground for charging us with indifference in our attempt to solve the murder Prose- curator Guigli declared today, land for this reason we will keep up the search of the lake,"
 If the report that Charlton headed for either Turkey or Africa after ar irving at Palermo is correct, it is be- lieved that he has made good his es- cape Messages have been sent to all important points in Turkey and along the African Mediterranean coast, but it is admitted that the facilities for tracking criminals in these countries are inefficient.

BOY OF I3 SAVES MOTHER
 FROM SUICIDE

Fastening long gas tube to a fix ture in her bedroom. Mrs. Emma Franklin, an invalid, of 21O6 Seaview avenue. would have ended her life at her home today were it not for the prompt action of her 13-year-old son, August.
 During the absence of her children, Mrs. Franklin, who has been bedrid- den for weeks, arose, fastened the tube to the gas fixture. and retired, inhal- ing the gas until she became uncon- scious.
 Her little son had entered her room during the morning and finding her asleep didn't disturb her. When he returned to the room at Il, he found the door fastened. This was unusual. Then he detected the odor of gas, and taking fright at the strange circum- stances he broke into the room with strength unusual for one of his years.
 Snatching the gas tube from his mothers lips, he screamed with fright, and neighbors hurried in to his assist ance, flingins open doors and windows and dashing water upon the face of the unconscious woman. They sent the child to the store of John Fedor. 2070 Seaview avenue. to telephone for the ambulance corps. He was fear full of having his mother taken away and neglected to send in the call until W.
