SUBMARINE VS.. AERoPLANE.
British Military Organ Believes
Such q Conflict Likely.

From ths Brooklyn Standard Union
A combat between a submarine and an
aeroplane appears to the layman 50 i'm
probable as not worth considering at this
time but the United Service Gazette
of London thinks that such fight is so
likely when the next war breaks out that
future built submarines will, be equipped
with guns to repel an aerial attack
A flying machine swooping down close
to one Of these vessels exposing its back
above the waves would not be unlike q
hawk dropping suddenly upon an unwary
fish that had come too near the surfzce.
The submarine usually travels along the
surface and also when at anchor exposes
its deck. An attack from an aeroplane
would come at a moment when the crew
was resting IN fancied security. Armed
as at present these military fish would
find safety only in diving and remaining
down, but with gun or two which could
be aimed at the clouds the flying enemy
would be forced to fight from a great
height. thus losing a decided advantage.
As now armed. submarine cannot, Of
begin or continue a battle with
an aeroplane, but II flyer persisted In

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. w. MACY.

UNFORTUNATE JOHN FITCH.
To John Fitch rightfuily be-
longs the credit for having in
vented the steamboat. In 17ss
he built one that went eight
miles an hour. A company was
formed and q larger boat built
next year. II was 45 feet long
and had twelve paddles worked
by steam. Thie boat made Q
successful trial trip on tho Della
ware August az, 1877. But there
were many skeptics, and much
fun was poked at Fitch and his
boat. His supporters could not
endure the ridicule. and deserted
him. He went to Paris, but could
do nothing there on account Of
the revolution. While there he
intrusted his plans to the Amer
lean minister, who allowed Rob-
ert Fulton to see and study
them. Fulton improved on them,
and built his first boat in 1903.
Discouraged and heartbroken.
Fitch returned to America, and
committed suicide at Eardstown,
KY, in 179s. He left a manu-
script giving the story Of his life.
in which he says: The day will
come whom some more powerful
man will get fame and riches
from my invention, but nobody
will believe that poor old John
Fitch can do anything worthy Of
attention"

cedure He won by smoothing out diff
ferences between Senator's, by appealing
to their craftsmanship, by minimizing
their objections to paragraph here, a
provision there. No man without
strength and tact and incessant industry
could have so REINFORCED his knowledge
as to win unfailingly.
And through it all was the dominant
and somewhat unusual-note of COM
plete Democratic harmony. Mr.. Martin
had the support of all Democrats, be-
cause all the Democrats recognized in
him their chosen leader. The prominent
part played by him in the session is a
matter of peculiar pride to Washing
tonians, who are such near neighbors of
his State.

Atwood's Flight.

When Atwood reaches New York to-
day, as he is scheduled to do, he will
have completed a remarkable flight of
over 1900 miles 1t is true that the
journey through the air has not been
uninterrupted, but none the less it has
been a great achievement. 1t DEM
onstrates the feasibility of the aero
plane for long tours. If Atwood can
travel from St. Louis and Chicago to
New York, there is no reason why he
should not fly from ocean to ocean.
The record for long-distance flight
now rests on this side of the Atlantic.
We cannot, of course, expect to hold
it long. Aviation feats are becoming
so common that the accomplishment of
to-day is eclipsed tomorrow. When
we remember that it is less than eight
years since the Wright brothers were
experimenting at Kittyhawk, on the
North Carolina coast; that the longest
distance travelled through the air in a
heavier-than-air machine four years ago
was less than 700 feet; that three years
ago the performances of the Wrights
at Fort Myer were startling the world,
it seems almost incomprehensible that
to-day men are travelling through the
air with commonplace frequency. Even
now the science of aviation is in its in
fancy. 1t has no textbooks and no
precedents. Each day makes its own
history, and the advance toward per-
fection is measured by months instead
of years.
The lesson to be learned from At
woods achievement is that the aviator
who docs not attempt the spectacular
accomplishes the most Atwood's first
flight, when he flew from Boston to
witness the Yale Harvard boat race, was
only three months ago, and yet to-day
he is easily the foremost of American
birdmen. He has not striven to reach
the dizziest heights; he has not reck-
lessly dared death in order to thrill the
attendant crowds. He has pursued a
definite purpose in a sane and sensible
manner, demonstrating the possession
of an unerring instinct for air navigation.
He may, of course, still pay the penalty
which accompanies defiance of the
laws of gravitation, but he cannot be
said to have acted at any time in fool
hardy fashion. He deserves all the
praise which has been showered upon
him, and if, at the same time, he has
been able to utilize his skill to his
own financial advantage, no one will
begrudge him all the profit which may
attend his hazardous profession.

Good Leadership.

The splendid record of solidity
and accomplishment which the Demo-
cratic party of both Senate and House
has just achieved in Congress was due
largely to the admirable leadership it
enjoyed under Senator Martin, of Vir-
ginia, and Representative Underwood, of
Alabama.
Mr.. Underwood won his spurs and
proved his mettle by his wise handling
of the large majority his party had in
the House Senator Martin had a
larger problem to solve. The Demo-
Gratis mustered voting strength of only
forty out of a total of ninety voting
Senators, and his was the task of fore
ing Democratic doctrine over the bar
rier of a Republican majority. The
hnal votes on the reciprocity, free list,
woolen and cotton bills evidenced his
successful management. His work called
for infinite patience and incessant watch
fulness for unusual sagacity and won
derful knowledge OF parliamentary pro-

Lights on the River.

While the canoeists who violated the
law in not having lights upon their crafts
at night will probably be treated lenient-
ly, in view of the fact that the statute
has not been strictly enforced in the past,
there is no question as to the wisdom of
the government authorities in compelling
the law to be observed.
The surface OF the Potomac above
Aqueduct Bridge is dotted every night
with scores of little boats, and the
wonder is that no serious accident has
yet occurred because no lights are dis
played. Care must, of course, be taken
to reduce danger from fire to an abso-
lutte minimum. but the fact still remains
that the lights are not only required by
law, but are essential to safe navigation
The recent regulation of the District
Commissioners in providing for lights
upon vehicles after dark was based upon
wisdom. The necessity for lights on
boats upon the river is just as apparent.

TRIP TO THE COAST
TO OPEN CAMPAIGN
Taft Will Appeal Direct to
Voters on Long Tour.

Beverly, Aug. A.-The President ON
cially inaugurated his vacation to-day
with round Of golf at Myopia To-
I morrow the work Of arranging the
itinerary for the Western trip will be
begun.
1t is the most serious task that faces
the managers OF the administration at
this time. This coming fall will be the
last opportunity that the President will
have Of making his explanations direct
TO the country, unless the propr1eties
are TO be violated by Presidential cam
paisnins next year, the year Of the ma
tonal election. And inasmuch as It is
now generally conceded that Mr. Taft's
denomination is certain. this fall will
give him his final chance to present his
own case. The Western trip will be in
effect the Presidents campaign for re-
election.
The plan Is not to give much time to
the great cities. It is probably taken
for granted that they are hopeless. II
is there that the pinch Of high living is
felt to the extreme The Western trip,
accordingly, will be devoted in the main
to stops at the smaller cites. the towns,

A Remarkable Theft.

The theft of da Vinci's famous paint
ing, Mona Lisa" presents many re-
markable phases. In the first place, the
picture seems to have been missing
twenty-four hours before its absence
was discovered, and now the attendants
at the exits of the Louvre are certain
that no one passed out of the building
carrying a large bundle. The canvas
was taken from its frame, which has
been found and photographed for posi-
BILE finger print Identification.
1t lis difficult to understand why a
thief in his senses should have taken
the picture. World-famous, it cannot
be disposed of in any city. A man
might attempt with more ease to realize
upon the Kohinoor diamond, because a
precious stone can be separated into
smaller gems and thus lose its identity,
Da Vinci's picture, however, must be
kept intact, and the moment it is exposed
for sale or ransom that moment the clew
to the thief is afforded
Under the circumstances it is no won-
der that a solution to the mystery is Of
fered in a story which rivals the ro-
mances of Sherlock Holmes. It's said
that man became obsessed by the pic
ture; that he stood in front of it for
days, apparently hypnotized He was in
love with the beautiful face which gazed
down upon him from the canvas. He
desired to possess it at all hazards, and,
seizing a propitious moment, carried it
away. This is the story now current
story purely romantic, and yet, after
all, the only one which seems to fit all
the circumstances of the case.

The Shame of Montclair.

Hitherto regarded as a model mu-
nicipality, the town of Montclair, N
J.. has awakened to find itself the sub
Ject of well-deserved criticism. 1t
seems that the trees which line the
pretty streets of the town were filled
with birds. Unfortunately for the
feathered songsters, the latter Uttered
the pavements and filled the hours of
the early morning with their songs.
Some of the people of the town were
annoyed. Consequently they shouldered
their shotguns and, firing into the trees,
massacred the birds by hundreds.
The incident got into the newspapers,
of course, and since that time a storm
of criticism, disapproval, and condem-
nation has swept over Montclair from
every section of the country. 1t is
deserved. Nothing could have been
more brutal than the wanton destruc-
ton of the birds. Without regard to
their value in destroying caterpillars
and insects, they are an attraction and a
delight anywhere and everywhere
Happily. there can be no such shame
for Washington. The District of Co.
lurbia has a Congressional statute
which forbids the killing of birds within
its limits, except reed birds on the
marshes for a few days in September.
The consequence is that the parks and
woodlands are filled with bird life Even
if this law did not exist, however, it is
impossible to believe that the good peo-
pie of Washington would be guilty of
the action which has cast shadow over
the fair name of Montclair.

The Common People.

Henry Ward Beecher delivered upon
many occasions a lecture entitled "The
common people" 1t was an eloquent
and thoughtful tribute to the great mass
of humanity which goes to make up
American citizenship, and it stirred
within the humblest man a spirit of
patriotism and civic pride
President Taft has the same faith in
the common people. so long as we
retain in this country" he says, "a Cod
fearing, sober, intelligent people, we can
count in the long run upon their work
ing out safely and sanely the problems
set before them"
Mr.. Taft is right. The American peo-
pie may, once in while, run after ap-
parently false gods; they may be swept
from their moorings by some political
gale; but, after all, they can be trusted
to maintain the integrity, the dignity,
and the permanency of their institu-
tions. To them, in the last analysis,
must come important questions for de-
cision. They are to decide whether the
initiative and referendum and the recall
are wise additions to our governmental
system; they are to determine the best
methods of combating the evils which
follow the concentration of wealth.
And they will decide rightly. Under
meath all the agitation and unrest which
have been prevalent there is a solid sub
stratum of common sense which cannot
be disturbed, and which will, eventually,
guide the American people, as body,
in the right direction
