FIFTEEN HOURS FOR JOURNEY

An Hour

Twenty years from now we shall
be going from New York to London
in fifteen hours by the air route IN
sky liners thousand feet long, car
rying from three to four thousand
passengers on each trip.
Claude Grahame-W White, the Eng
lish airman, made this prophecy
when he landed in New York from
the Mauritania, one of the prosaic
and soon-to-be- obsolete steamships
which now cross the Atlantic in
something less than five days.
Seems Nearly Hopeless
1t Sc ems we'll nigh hopeless OF
realization, and yet. if twenty years
ago any one had said that within
two decades man would be able to
see through Opaque su distances, to
talk with vessels sailing on the high
seas, or to fly higher and faster
than most birds, no one would have
believed. Roentgen's X-rays, Mar
coni's wireless and Wright's inven,
ton of heavier-than-air flying ma
chine have brought all these things
to pass.
What is there more wonderful in
Grahame-White's conception of
monster air-liner crossing the At.
lantic than in Jules Verne's descrip'
ton of the Nautilus, which was
scoffed at by scientists. many OF
whom have lived to see submarines
become an important factor in every
modern navy. And has not Phlleas
Fogg's impossible" feat of going
round the world in eighty days
been cut in two by young French
newspaperman?
White Gives His Views
Here are Grahame- Whites owr
views in support of his prophecy, as
told by the noted airman:
DO you mean to say that you
really believe that ships bigger thar

the ocean twenty years from now?'

1T is risky thing to make pre-.
dictions about the future of flying
machines. The progress during the

than anything dreamed of year

COUNTING HEADS.
The First Census Was Taken by Moses
In the Wilderness.

In the Wilderness.
There is a record of a census In
China as far back as the year 2O42
B. G. and of one in japan In the last
century before Christ Under the con
stitution OF Scion the citizens Of Ath.
ems were divided and registered in four
classes. according to the amount of
their taxable property or income. The
Roman census was burdened with
more statistics than any Of these, how
ever. 1t had its origin under Servius
Julius, sixth king of Rome, and was
an affair of much solemnity. Every
citizen had to appear upon the Campus
Martius and declare upon oath his
name and dwelling and the value of
his property under the penalty of hav
ing his goods confiscated.
The most ancient statistical record
of a census is found in the Bible. The
census was taken by Moses in the
wilderness. and. as shown BY the first
chapter of Numbers, the enumeration
must have been very simple Take
ye." says this account, the sum of all
the congregations OF the children of
Israel. after their families, by the
house of their fathers, with the num-
Der of their names. every male by
their polls; from twenty years old and
upward. all that are able to go forth
to war In Israel: thou and Aaron shall
number them by their armies" This
census was an affair that must have
been soon over. lasting no longer than
one day, being merely a counting of
the heads of the fighting men. The
women and children and cripples and
the old men were not included: mel
Their were the Levites numbered among
them" Those who did stand up to
be numbered totaled COS $50. = New

entirely wiped out by the recent FIRE,
Mother Kennedy was born Margaret
Major Of Lewistown. Pa. That was
seventy-two years ago. When she was
twenty she met and married John We
densall. a conductor on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad. Wedensall was the con-
ductor of the first train that went
from Altoona to Pittsburg. He was a
great friend Of Andrew Carnegie. then
an employee Of the line working his
way up to superintendent Of the Pitts
burg division Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. On her wedding trip Mrs. We
densall met Mr.. Carnegie.
When the fire at Coney Island left
Mother Kennedy with only $3.50 In
the world she recalled her first hus-
bands friendship with Mr. Carnegie
and recalled the almost forgotten In
cident of meeting Mr.. Carnegie when
he was a railroad man and she bride.
So she sat down and wrote to Mr.
Carnegie
The day the letter was sent news
paper told her that Mr.. Carnegie had
sailed for Scotland. The other day
she received letter from John Roy,
Mr.. Carnegie's Scotch representative.
1t told her that Mr.. Carnegie, then In
Skibo castle, had received her letter
and read it with interest. After read
ing it Mr.. Carnegie had instructed the
writer to inform Mrs. Kennedy that
hereafter she would receive a pension
of $25 each month The first months
pension was inclosed.
"It was long time ago." said Moth

to fix any speed limit for the future
but seeing that a speed of 120 miles
an hour has been obtained on the

school graduates who, for any reason,
are. held back from entering upon
their university courses, can make a

Public Service the Idea.
The correspondence study idea has
been so much abused by schools that
have carried on the work with the
idea of making a big profit out OF
this very reasonable social demand
that many people have come to look
with measure of suspicion on all
such work This feeling is out of
place in regard to work offered by our
state university, as in the case, the
only motive is public service and
the idea of profit is wholly eliminated.
Is connection with the university ex::
hibit that is on display in the base
ment of the Industrial Exposition
building there is to be found a full
display of the various publications in
which this phase of university work
is explained. Mr.. Bulge, who has d.
rect charge of the exhibit, wi supple
ment this with any further informa-
ton desired. or interested parties
can easily find Mr.. Abbott at the
Grand Pacific during the remainder of
the exposition. The office of the blu.

1t was an inspiring sight and many

snven hundred school scholars be-
tween the ages of eight and twelve
and this meant just that many bright,
smiling faces and twice that number
of dancing feet.
1t was a great holiday for the
pupils. They were given free access
to everything at the exposition and
it was an occasion to look forward
to with anticipation of delight. The
scholars were under the charge of
their teachers and some of the kind
faced instructors certainly had big
families. Ahe procession of children
as they marched from the schools
to the exposition was a long one and
it took fully an hour for ali Of them

NOT BELIEVE in signs
STRING OF THIRTEENS FOR HIM
ARE HARBlNGERS OF
FORTUNE.
Brother Wrote that 23O Acres Planted
in Flax Near Cleveland Yielded IS
Bushels to the Acre.

When George Bohlig of Fargo, came
to Bismarck to take charge of the ex-
hibit of the Stone Piano company at
the Industrial Exposition, he was CIV
en- birth 10 on the sleeper. At the
local hotel where he stopped he drew
room 10. Superintendent Gilbreath
handed him out pass 10. The only
variation in the numerals occurred
when he went to Mandan for a day
and over there he was given room
% at the hotel. But George doesn't
believe in signs. On Friday, the 18th,
commonly believed to be a "hoodoo
Day" he received very interesting
letter from his brother, William, who
lives on farm near Cleveland Bill
writes that the 230 acres of flax he
has just threshed yielded Is bushels
to the acres.
There is little story connected
with the Bohlig fax crop. It seems
that Bill, who is bright young man.
was engaged in the horse business
down in the twin cities. He did not
make money enough dealing in horses
so he arranged to go on his brothers
farm in Stutsman county. Bill took
a bunch of big horses up with him and
worked. He plowed and disced and
narrowed and rolled the ground un-
til his neighbors looked at each other
and winked. They looked upon Bill
as tenderfoot and laughed at the
waste of so much labor but Bill Bohlig
said nothing-just sawed wood, so to
put it. When the time came for gath
ering the harvest it was Bill who had
a laugh coming. whether he took it or
not. The neighbors raised robust
crop of weeds.
