Faith Ne Can Fly.
Otto Lillienthal was the greatest
forerunner of the wrights. They gen.
erously proclaim that his experiments,
his book and his lovable personality
were the most vital influences in their
career as aeroplane inventors.
Otto Lillienthal was killed while
making gliding experiments in prepar.
ing to mount lightweight motor in
his aeroplane. The little newspaper
notice Of his tragic death IL said to
have been the direct cause of revivlng
the tagging interest Of the wrights.
Lillienthal was very well aware of
the fact that flight was possible by
combining artificial motor energy with
series of rigid surfaces for lifting
purposes. But he was not content
with achieving flight after the fashion
Of the modern aeroplane. He consid.
cred such trlumphs as later achieved
by the Wrights simply as interesting
but useless incidents. He believed SO

lem could be reached.
Lillienthal and his brother. Gustav.
closely studied the birds. II Is said no

lated such clear, accurate, exact data
as the Lillienthals concerning bird.
flight. Otto early arrived at the con.
clusion that successful man.fiight
would have to be similar. to bird.nlght.
He pronounced Il as an axiom that the
era Of flight would not be here until
human beings could use aeroplane sur.
faces both to lift their weight and for
purposes Of sailing against the wind.
The Lillienthals discovered early in
their Investigations that bird.fiight IL
almost identical with the art Of marine
sailing. The skillful yachtsman trav.
els against the wind by lacking. The
bird flies against the wind by using ex.
actly the same method, only II goes the
yachtsman one better by using its sail
surfaces also as lifting surfaces and

Otto Lillienthal predicted man would

a machine which he says will enable
human beings to ny by their own ener.
gy. He has not yet demonstrated the
apparatus. but expects to do % short.

from such cautious experimenters as
the Lillienthals carries weight. II
Lillienthal has been able to con.

tically to any angle, the consequences
will be revolutionary. II will mean

MEXICO MISSING CHANCES.


Agriru1turists Wf the Repub1ic f'al1
Co Cater "a American Needs.
In an address recently In Guadala.
lara, Bernardo Mayen, representing
the Department of fomento, stated
that agriculturists in Mexico were not
taking advantage of the great oppor.
tunities which existed at their very
doors, the Mexican Herald says. He
called attention to the fact that the
United States had imported during the
year Of 1909 over 100000 worth Of
lemons and lines.
OF this amount Mexico, the nearest
foreign producer, had sent $4,000.
Practically all of the importation
had been from Italy. a distant country,
and no more favorable for the produc.
ton Of lines and lemons than is Mex.
leo. Other examples quoted showed
that practically every class OF agricul.
tural product for which the soil and
climate Of Mexico were especially fit.
ted was made to produce more revenue
in other countries. or the $4,000, 200
worth Of cocoanuts imported by the
United States. Mexico furnished 3d..
600; Of 100000 worth OF dates, Mex.
leo furnished SAC; OF $2.OO0.OOO worth
Of onions. Mexico furnished $500; OF
1886 100000 worth Of silk, Mexico sent
none.
According to Mr.. Mayen. Mexico
should be able to compete very favor.
ably for the larger per cent Of the
business in the products mentioned
while he saw no reason why, In the
course Of time, that Mexico should not
furnish the entire supply imported by
the United States. There are only two
products furnished by Mexico which
supply the demand in the United
States: one Is henequen and the other
vanilla. or the former Mexico fur.

600. 900 imported. while three cantonea
In the State Of Vera Cruz supply g..
100000 Of the 100000 worth Of va.
nilIa imported.
Drawing an example, the speaker
pointed out that only a few years ago
these two greatest industries did not
exist. They were built up by intelli
gent agriculturists.. In the same way
Mexico could become the source oil
supply for the United States in prac.
tically all Of the tropical products con.
sumed in that country.
In detailing the reasons for the fail
ure Of Mexican agriculturists to take
advantage Of such q prom lsing field
was the opinion Of many that the labor
employed on the haciendas was 80
poorly paid that II drew only the more
ignorant laborers, all Of the brighter
minds finding more remunerative work
In other pursuits. As proof Of the
point he cited the custom Of the United
States and Argentina Of paying farm
labor from eight to ten times the
amount Of the average wage In this
country. yet by far larger profits were
obtained.
As the lecture was attended by a
large number Of the principal hacien.
dados Of the State. who were deeply In.
terested in the points brought out. II
Is hoped that more active effort will
be made to adopt modern methods and
make such improvements as will tend
to the bringing Of the industry to a
higher state Of development through.

Between Tonala and the Guatemala
border exists one of the greatest for.
al bowers in the republic. This Is
the time of year when all of the morn
ing glories and many other wild flow
ers of the tropics are beginning to
bloom, and railroad men who are fa
miliar with all the roads Of the re-
public say that the grandest sight of
all is to be seen here. The massive
trees in the forest which line for miles
the railroad are covered to the tops
with vines and blossoms, and the tele-
graph poles and wires present a simi-
larly beautiful sight
Along the line are hundreds OF
cornfields, and it seems that each
stalk of corn forms a pole upon which
is growing a morning glory vine. This
does not in the least hinder the crop,
for the corn of the particular season
has been topped ready for harvest
Near Mepastepec, below here, there
Is lane some six kilometers in length
where the tops Of the trees on either
side of the track almost meet, forming
a most strikingly beautiful floral arch.
These trees are all covered with vines
with the millions of blossoms, and the
sight is one rarely, II ever, seen In
other parts of Mexico.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-08-19

Middle states, but not so many in the
central west and Canada.
AS for prices, that will depend
somewhat on general business con-
ditions, as well as on the shortage
OF the crop. Growers have not for
gotten how in 1907 the prospect of
high prices was spoiled by the panic
and business depression.
Just now the outlook seems none
too good in that direction, and for
any reason, so far as it goes, grow
ers should not try to force prices
too high before accepting a fair Of
fer. Also, remembering the numer-
Gus failures of that year, IL will be
well to use a little extra care in Sc
lecting reliable dealer when making
a sale contract.
Chicago milk producers have been
suffering from dry weather, in COM
mon with most dairy sections of the
country. They are hoping the drouth
will prove blessing in disguise by
bringing about a shortage and adj
vance in the retail price of milk.
They believe they are well organized
enough to secure a part of the bene-
fit in case the dealers put up the
price to consumers. Many of the
small dealers have been selling milk
at seven cents. A uniform eight
cent price is wanted in order to es-
tablish a standard which would en-
able the producers to name a larger
price for coming bidders of price
settlement. Chicago producers re-
ceived $1.10 for a 32-quart can in
July. 1t is expected the August
price will be $1.15, and the Septem-
Der and October price SIPS.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-08-19

Although diseases incident to ex-
cessive solar heat may soon be ex-
pected to decrease, a word of caution
is needed to guard against those
which are so frequent and severe in
late summer. 1t is notable that the
number of prostrations in cities
which are so frequent last month
have been comparatively few since
the season became less torrid. But
the danger of being overcome by the
heat during priods of great humid
ity continues throughout August, es-
pecially in our eastern seaboard dis
tricts.
AS the summer days shorten and
the fall of temperature is frequently
rapid at night, on aggravation of
acute intestinal diseases (Which are
rife in all the warm months) is of
common occurrence, and such disor-
ders become very serious when hot
spells are suddenly broken by chilling
winds. Malaria, too, is doubtless
now on the increase in all low ly-
ing, damp and mosquito infested
districts. But in the last half of
August and during September it is
exceedingly important to guard
against typhoid fever, which has
been recently reported as unusually
prevalent, possibly as a result of the
dry season, in which the water sup
ply is apt to become impure.-West
