MAY TRY LONG FLIGHT
Aeroplane Trip from New York
to Chicago.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. May 31.-From New
York to Chicago by aeroplane for a prize
of not less than $4,000 will be the next
Charles X. Hamilton, the well known
aviator has already guaranteed $4,000
for the purse, and several Chicagoans
who are interested in the art of flying
have expressed their willingness to do
their share toward bringing off this
proposed greatest test Of the efficiency
of mechanism and man in going long
distances through the air at express
train speed in a heayier-than-air ma
chine.
Mr.. Hamilton's offer was stimulated
by the recent flight of Glenn II. Cur
tiss. in which Curtiss covered the dis
lance of 1877 miles from Albany to New
York at a rate of 54.O6 miles an hour.
Hamilton arrived in New York on Fri
day from Florida with the intention of
competing for the prize which has just
fallen to Curtiss. He predicts that with
in the next sixty days feats will be per-
formed in this country beside which Cur
tiss' fight will look very simple. He
characterizes the $4,000 won by Cur
tiss as easy money"

YOUNG GOULD A TRAMP
Son of Jay Gould Spends Three Days
"on the Road" and Ends Jour

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, May 81
While Edwin Gould, son Of Jay Gould
and worth a sixth of $S6,0OO,0OO, ran
wild, over Connecticut in a hunt for his
son, Edwin, Jr., aged 16, the youth was
in Jail at New Britain as tramp. He
had been there since 2 o'clock Monday

The boy had been sent to select
school at Pomfret, Conn, to get him
away from the snares Of Broadway, but
after three months he became hOmesick
and started out to tramp back to New
York. He ran away from school on
Friday with 20 cents in his pocket and
had three days of veritable tramp life,
while his distracted father was hunting
for him in an automobile.
The young heir to millions was not
successful as a tramp, for he had just
two meals and a sandwich from Friday
afternoon up to 2 O'clock Monday morn
ing-sixty hours-and he slept in a bed
for Just two hours in that time. He ar
rived here almost exhausted, desperately
hungry, with his shoes nearly worn out,
and he was glad to have the police take
him in.

"Jin Crow" Case Dropped.
WILL FIGHT JOBBERS.
United States Steel Corporation Plans
to Take Over This Business in
Near Future.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 31.-What is
believed to be the execution of plan by
the United States Steel corporation to
take over the entire iron and steel job
bling trade of the United States and
knock the jobbers out of business is the
erection of large warehouses in parts of
the country where Steel corporation
products, such as bars, tinplate and 9TH
er material, will be sold at retail.
Such a warehouse is now being COM
pleted in Pittsburg at Eleventh and Pike
streets, following the building of a SINH
large but larger one at WaverIy, N. j.,
which has been in operation for two
years. Depots are also being established
by Steel corporation subsidiary concerns
near St. Louis and New Orleans.
When the Waverly plant was built it
was said by the Steel corporation that
it was for the accommodate ton of retail
trade whose orders could not always be
promptly filled by jobbers, who were al
legged to often carry incomplete stocks
Now comes the completion of the Pitts
burg warehouse by the same subsidiary
concern, the Carnegie Steel company,
and arrangements for depots at Missis-
sippi river points by the American Steel
and Wire company.
Jobbers say the corporation is aiming
to eventually get their entire business,
building one warehouse at time.

RADIUM SAFE IS DONE.
London Burglar Proof Vault Will Hold
$5,OOO,000,000 Worth-Prevents
Escape of Contents.

LONDON, May 31.-What is declared
to be the most ingenious safe ever con-
structed has been completed by the
Chubb company for the British Radium
corporation. The problem presented to
the manufacturers was not only to con-
struct a safe that would bid defiance to
burglars, but which at the same time
would prevent the escape of the radium.
1t is we'll known to scientists that ra-
dunn emanations will pass through the
thickest and hardest steel For this rea-
son the inner Golfer of the safe was
made of lead, three inches thick, inclosed
within a burglar-proof steel shell. There
are many other special features, includ-
ing means of collecting the radium en-
anations before the Golfer is opened.
This compartment safe is designed to
hold 100 pounds of radium, valued at So
OOO,OOO,OOO The total weight of the
safe is one and Q half tons.

A DRY WEATHER DRINK.
An Unusua! Way for Birds to Satisfy
Their Thirst

One evening last summer I got out
the hose to give the thirsty garden a
drink and as it turned out, the birds
as we'll It was after a very warm day,
one of the many we had during the long
drought. The ground was like powder,
and vegetation, dropping and shriyeled
from the heat and lack or rain, was
plainly in distress.
After wetting down the tomato plants,
the hose was turned on another part OF
the garden Up to this time l had not
noticed q bird about, in fact had not
given them thought; but now, on turn
ing my attention again to the tomatoes,
| saw several sparrows hopping around
among the dripping plants. At first
could not understand why these birds
had gathered around where | was at
work, but upon looking more closely the
mystery was soon solved. They were
after a drink. and knew how to take
advantage of the opportunity to get it.
Of course. the water that fell on the
ground soaked in almost immediately and
disappeared, but that on the leaves would
collect in big drops on all the points,
where it would hang, and here was
where the birds were getting their drink
It was amusing to see the thirsty niue
creatures hopping and fitting about
among the wet plants, pecking at the
great Drops looking for all the Worid
as if they were feeding on some sort
of crystal berries. Thinking to help
them turned the hose their way again;
but this seemed to be too much of goodd
thing, and they quickly fitted out OF
reach, only to be back as soon as the
hose was turned away. How these BIRDS
knew what was going on L cannot say
but probably they were in the nearby
trees, and, when they saw wafer coming,
concluded it was for them as well as
the plants The little fellows certainly
knew how to get it even though it was
somewhat unusual way of drinking.
