to his death at the aviation field to-day.
With unconscious pathos his COM

'+Bennie'' failed properly to secure his
life line
Prinz was making sensational double
jump to show that he could drop with
two parachutes and let go the first para
chute after it had opened and jump
again from it, attached to a second
parachute that was to open
He made the first jump successfully
when his balloon had reached a height
of five thousand feet
But the second parachute failed 70

OLDEST SHIP VISITS GOTHAM

In spite of the fact that New
York has just been given its first
chance to view one of the new
dreadnaughts of the American
navy in the new battleship Michi-
gan, the mighty fighting machine
as had to take second place in
popular interest for a little 60
foot schooner. But small as she
is, the little vessel is undoubtedly
the most interesting marine visitor
which has come to this harbor in
q great many years, for she bears
the distinction Of being the oldest
ship in the United States.
1t is few months over los years
since the Polly, for that is the1name
IF the venerable visitor, was built
and in spite of her century of
ervice she is still in business
today. The history of this re-
markable schooner covers practi-
cally all fields of American
activities on the high seas. Built
for peaceful service, she neverthe-
less at the tender age Of seven
took prominent part in the War
Of 1872. AS a privateer under
command of Capt. Juduthan Upton
she engaged in battle with ships
twice her size and captured no less
than eleven rich prizes.
After that war the Polly returned
to coastwise trade, going along
without much notice for 35 years.
In 1849 and the succeeding years
the little 60-footer rounded Cape
Horn six times and made two
complete trips around the world.
Later she returned to coastwise
trade in New England waters and
her visit to New York is simply in
line with her present service. The
Polly has had dozens Of owners in
her los years, but all have treated
her with the greatest regard.
While littlc of the original vessel
remains, as the result of repairs,
she Il still unique in the field of
American shipping.

There is reason TO believe that this

bearing ON a commercial process In.
vented by Dr. F. w. LANCE, of Scran'
