William Neff, n former chief of de-

Bullet Through Body.
One of two 32-calibre bullets fired
by Mrs. Pagan entered Neffs side
under the right arm and passed en-
tirely through the body in an almost
straight course. Drs. Woody and
Shepard who attended Neff stated at
midnight that Neffs chances for life
are slim.
Mrs. Fagan was arrested by the
police shortly after the shooting oc-
Cured and was placed in the wo-
mans apartments of the city jail to
be held pending the outcome of Nefrs s
injuries.
Shot In Self Defense.
Mrs Pagan did not deny doing the
shooting. but said 1t was in self-de-

drunk and threatened to kill her. He
checked her until ii was finally nee
essary for her to procure a revolver
and shoot in protection of her own
life, she stated.
Neff and Mrs Fagan are said by
the police to have been on very in

shooting occurred alone. No one else

That Thrilling "Dip."

But time flies when YOU are in an
aeroplane. and you are several hund-
dred feet up in the great trackless
void spinning on as noiselessly as
the footstep Of time, almost as quick
ly as the rapid transition Of your
mind. You are on your way. The
mechanism of the propelling gear
sticks and hangs for moment The
aviator pulls a lever here, pushes an
other forward, the aeroplane tips for
ward, the wind careens 1t to one
side as II takes the dip and you get
glimpse of all the things beneath
you. A horrible. sinking feeling
sweeps over you.
A moment later you feel the steady
and sure control Of an experienced
hand at the helm and the squeamish
feeling passes as you turn and glide
off in another direction. The fright

their halters I'm an effort to get from

Here Comes the Start.

The powerful propellers are start
ed; the engine takes up its even
strokes; the aviator climbs into his
seat beside you giving the pretty wife
standing beside the machine a fond,
but reassuring look tests the steer
ing gear; listens to the familiar noise
of whirrng propellers; the steady
almost human, earnestness of the en-
gine upon whose constant and regular
attention to business the safety of
your journey so much depends, and
with a satisfied nod TO all the at
tendants, the start is made.
You glide easily along upon the
ground for a second or two, and then
as the machine takes the wind, you
rise easily and rythmically from the
ground and glide into the air as
gracefully and majesticNly as the
condor that proud bird of the Andes.
when 1t unfurls its wings to the
breeze and sails over the loftiest
peaks of the great and towering
mountains where 1t makes Its home.

HOW TALKING SIGNS WORK
Mechanism of These Changing Elec-
trio Light Bulletins Is Intricate
but Operates Easily.

The electric light talking sign was
introduced to New York about ten
years ago, one of the earliest if not
the first one displayed being that at
Broadway and Thirty-sixth street. By
changing the firm or goods to be adver'
tised such a sign becomes a perma-
nent investment. This possibility Is
of equal value to the advertiser, for 1t
is of course less expensive to hire such
service for a desired length of time
than to erect large sign for his own
exclusive use.
One of these talking signs, which is
rs feet long, has letters feet high and
4 feet broad. The space is divided into
fifteen monograms, as they are called.
Each Of these monograms contains
forty-eight changes. That is, forty
eight letters and numerals can be
shown in successfully In that one 4x5
foot space. Each monogram space is
perforated by forty lamps which form
the forty-eight combinations.
The changes are controlled by a
rather intricate arrangement which,
according to the Edison Monthly, con-
sists of a motor with a commutator
for each monogram. By a system Of
metal dogs, not unlike the Yale lock
in principle, the arrangement can be
so adjusted beforehand that the prop
er connections are made with each
revolution Of the commuatator to
form the letters and figures wanted in
certain order. REIMBURSEMENT can be
made as often as desired, so that II
the owner needs to have a new mes
sage each night he has only to plan
out the combinations.

HAD HIS REVENGE PLANNED
Editor Who Was Cut by Plain but
Successful Author Knew How
to Get Even.

The editor of a newspaper having
been cut at Brighton by plain little
man, said to his wife, in explanation:
well, why shouldn't he cut me?
He has produced a novel that actually
sells, and all great men are vain.
Look at Gibbon.
"Gibbon, you know, wrote in his
diary: Il am the greatest historian
that ever lived. No one can equal me
in this direction
Victor Hugo wrote to Bismarck:
The giant greets the giant; the foe
the foe; the friend the friend hate
thee furiously because thou hast hum
bled France. love thee because ]
am greater than thoU art
"And Wordsworth said of the Swan
of Avon: There is an immensely of
trick in all he wrote. If had a mind
could write exactly like Shakes
peare.'
NO wonder, then, the weedy little
chap cut me-" the editor concluded.
"But I'll get even with him. I'll snap,
shot him in his bathing-suit and send
the picture to the illustrated papers
read by ladies and children. This will
cause his sales to fall OF at least 80
per cent. London Tit-Bits.

CUTTING THROUGH CAPE COD
Canal That viii Save 1870 Miles Of
Sailing May Be Completed
Next Year.

So much attention has been given
TO the digging Of the gwat ship canal
across the Isthmus Of Panama. and,
locally so much interest being ex-
pended in the slow and tedious build
ing of the barge canal across New
York state, that sight has almost been
lost Of the Cape Cod canal, which has
been in progress since June, 1890.
This canal has been projected since
1920, for the Pilgrims saw the ad-
vantage of saving this 100 miles OF
sailing around Cape Cod, and the dan
ger from the storms that at seasons
of the year are said to be very severe
off the cape itself. In the last go
years there have been 2,131 sailing
vessels lost on these voyages, and
more than 700 lives. II is said that
more than 35,OOO,00O tons Of freight
are carried yearly past the mouths
of the canal, and the saving in freight
age alone will be enough to pay for
the construction of the canal in a
very short time. Insurance rates that
will be saved in the construction OF
the short cut will be a very large fig
ure, for the companies have learned
that the fogs and gales are very de-
structive and that losses demand high
premiums upon all cargoes.
The canal will run from Barnstable
bay on the south side of Buzzard's
bay on the north side, and will lessen
the difference in distance between
New York and Boston by water about
120 miles. 1t will be large enough for
the largest vessels afloat, and 1t is
expected that it will be completed in
1912, though this statement is doubted
by some, as trouble his been had with
several contractors who have failed
to complete their work.-Utica OBJ

MISS SUSAN eLAspELL,s DOG
"Voila" Is the Original Of the Two
Delightful Puppies In "The
VlsIonlng."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
a dog, which fact is Of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
in her new novel, "Ifhe Visioning,"
are introduced two frolicsome pup
pies named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas.
And there are no two more real char
acters in the whole book than Why
and Amt II, to use their names in
English form.
II was Miss Glaspell's own dog, a
bohemian beast, that inspired the
creation of "The Visioning's" twin
puppy clowns. The real dog also has
a French name, Viola. When its own
er bought Il, over in Paris, she want

she lived and as a sympathetic cog

could not see their way clear to shout

on VOLTA.
