VIII Propagate Babism.

Paris, Oct. 14.-Miss Laura Barney,
sculptures, whose statue, The Deserted
Ariadne," in the yard OF her mothers
home in Washington caused an inter
national laugh because OF the suose-
quently denied report that the model
was Miss Barney's sister Natalie, has
given up her art to devote the rest OF
her life to the spreading of Babsm, a
new Persian religion, whose founder
was killed thirty years ago.
No more nude statues will come from
her chisels. Instead she will give up
all her time to the sect to which she be-
longs, sect which reconciles the Bible
with modern science. Babism, &C
cording to Miss Barney, is not based on
a personal God, but upon first cause. =
1t ascribes to the universal being the
attributes of mind and matter, thought
and extension.
The faith, according to a statement
made today by Miss Barney to the
United Press representative, is rapidly
spreading in Arabia and Egypt, and has
many converts in America. 1t was in
America that Miss Barney first became
interested in the cult. So interested
was she with the work that she went
to Persia, where she remained
three years, studying the language,
that she might delve deeper into the
works of the founder of the sect. In
cidentaIly Miss Barney took an active
interest in woman's suffragism In
Persia and declares she took leading
part in the emancipation of the women
in that country. She is now studying
Arabic in order to study further. Miss
Barney declared that in addition to her
art and her religion, she has written a
play, based on the teachings OF Bablsm.
This play she hopes to give its premiere
performance in New York Sunday
theatre, herself acting the role OF the
heroine. For this she is especially well
fitted, having studied acting from Lee
bargy, Mounet, Sully and Deferaudy,
stars of the Coincide Franchise. She
says she believes she can reach more
people from the stage than she can
from the pulpit. Her play will soon be
published in America, the contracts
having already been signed.

Rouseyelt's Movements.

New York, Oct. 15.-Rushing direct
from, train to his offices in the Out
look today, Theodore Roosevelt sent
out a S. 0. S." wireless to the repub-
lican campaign managers to meet him.
Within twenty minutes Of his arrival

engines, one of which, has power Of
1880 horsepower. which gives the ship
a speed of about 20 land miles an
hour, and it is this motor that Well
man will chiefly rely upon to drive
him across the Atlantic. The airship
is equipped with another 200 horse
power motor eight cylindered, which
it is planned to hold in reserve for
use in an emergency, when o much
greater speed is required to make head
way against contrary winds. With
both engines working, each driving
twin propellers, the airship was ex.
pected to develop 80 statute miles an
hour. A small motor, of 10 horse
power, drives the air pump and per
forms other services for which machin-
cry is needed. =
The chief festure of the dirigible is
the device for overcoming the ex-
pansion and contraction OF the gas
from heat and cold. The thermometer
is expected to vary 35 or 40 degrees
from the heat of midday to the cold OF
night. Such differ ence in heat means
a contraction or expansion Of gas and
affects the lifting capacity OF the
balloon.
When-the cold is most severe, the
gas will so contract that the balloon
will lose 2,4OO pounds Of carrying
capacity. The following day, when the
sun comes out brightly, the gas will
expand. It's natural that there will
be considerable leakage OF gas during
the days the balloon is in the air.
This means that the lifting capacity
OF the balloon will decrease in pro-
portion to the length! of time it is in
the air. 1t therefore became necessary
for WeIlman to prepare to throw away
considerable amount of ballast each
day.
The America is second in size only
to the monster Zeppelin. It's length is
22S feet, its greatest diameter is 50 feet
and its volume is $4,000 cubic feet OF
gas. Unlike the Zeppelin, the America
is of the non-rigid type OF dirigibles. It
has total lifting capacity OF 24,OOO
pounds-twelve tons. The steel car
hanging from the gas bag is 156 feet
long and weighs 4,500 pounds. The
balloon part, consisting OF three thick
nesses of cotton and silk and three
LAYERS of rubber, weighs 4, 800 pounds.
Members of the crew will from time
to time sleep during the voyage. A
mammouth life boat, with air tanks,
swings beneath all. This life boat is
fully provisioned so that in the event
the aerial naviators failed, they may
take to the boat with some degree OIL
safety. All cooking is done i'll this
boat, to minimize the danger OF fire
reaching the gas bag.

Cholera in Naples.

Naples, Oct 14.-That the Ameri-
can government was right in declining
to allow the battleship flee to visit
Mediterranean ports this fall and
winter, because of the cholera scare,
was proven today by the official an:
nouncement that "a new cases OF
cholera had been discovered yesterday
lin the province of Naples alone, ac-
companied by twelve deaths.
The exact status of cholera in Italy
has been carefully concealed by the
Italian authorities, who, while making
every effort to stamp out the disease,
are inclined to minimize what is ad
mitted in all circles to be dangerous
situation.
The disinclination OF the peasantry
to submit to quarantine and the rigor-
Gus demands of the government has
had much to do with the spread of the
plague.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 1;

MUCH to the surprise of the public
in general and the republicans in par
ticular President Woodrow Wilson, OF
Princeton, appears to be making IN
impression as popular and daring
campaign speaker as he stumps the
state OF New Jersey as the democratic
candidate for governor. AS the latest
example OF the scholar in politics,
Doctor Wilson was distrusted by the
more practical members Of his party.
But on the stump he has appeared en-
tirely at home and has said many bold
and startling things in dignified and
intimate way that greatly pleased his
audiences. To one audience he re-
marked after enumerating certain evils.
Now don't think you can cure these
things by electing me governor, because
YOU can't" He then explained that the
most they could do would be to decide
which set OF men would vision" these
wrongs with new eyes and would study
where to make specific remedies. In
another place he told the people that
if he were governor he would coerce
with opinions and not with threats.
And there he gave slap to President
Taft by saying it is immoral to coerce
by the threat OF Withholding patron
age" Later he boldly attacked MIR.
Taft for having helped Aldrich to his
tariff bill. He described an optimist
rs one who takes all the lemons handed
him and makes lemonade Of them, and
the man who stands pat as one who
has no opinion OF his own. He had his
fling at insurgency, which he insisted
was a negative movement, and that
Roosevelt had been on treadmill.

The action OF the democrats OF the

OF the two men contesting for the nomi-

It is unfortunate that men claiming to
