For sheer nerve there has probably

The machine cost him $4,000, which
he had to pay on mere chance. Then
he faced a long flight in an untried

encountered a stiff breeze. but took it
at an angle. He won by working out
a theory and following it, On the way
to the statue he mounted rapidly until
at one time he was $500 feet high
Then he coasted back, with the wind
behind him and his motor going full
force, at times reaching the marvellous
speed of eighty miles an hour. He
came in less than a minute ahead Of
his nearest rival, Claude Grahame-
White of England.
At the time of his death Moisant was
preparing to enter the contest for the
Michelin prize at New Orleans. He
had placed heavy gasoline tank in

caused the disaster At any rate, after

Riots which at one time threatened to

cultivators in this region.
The origin of the dispute is obscure,
but the police account is that the Mo-
hammedans were irritased by the acQuit-
tai of certain Namasurdras who were
chaged with setting fire to a Mohamme-
dan village The upshot was that Mo-
hammedan mobs raided Namasurdra VII

houses that were to be spared being pro-

villages were visited. Namasurdra
houses were wrecked and the rice stores
were broken into. the contents being
scattered. For day the rioters pillaged
with impunity, but as soon as the news
reached Khulna, armed police were sent
to the district. when the mob promptly
dispersed. Troops in Calcutta had been
warned to be in readiness, but their
services were not required.
