From An Aeroplane Far
Above Terra Firma ~
Near Paris.

PARIS, Nov. 4-The avlators, Lee
gagneux and Martinez, went shoot
ing on board an aeroplane in the
neighborhood of Compiegne recent
ly. Legagneux piloted the aeroplane
in .dextrous circules and ovals about
the coverts while Martinez did the
shooting.
The machine can not remain in
the air and fly at less speed than
partridge and, as Martinez is an
experienced shot, he rarely missed
birds whose line OF fight was that
of the aeroplane. He also killed two
hares, the apparatus wheeling down
just above them. The difficult part
of the sport was finding the game
after landing.
The public prosecutor at Rheims
has brought suit against aviators for
the first time in French criminal
law for homicide through negli-
gence. the defendants being Count
d'Hespel, who. in alighting, struck
down and killed a machinist, Ger
main Gardes, and Aviator Provost,
who ran into a soldier, Eugene
Potin, imprudently and carelessly,
the prosecuting attorney affirms.
Professor Bouchard's experiments
with radium have brought him to
the conviction that when projected
on nervous centres radium produces
paralysis and rapid death. This has
not been tried on human beings, out
upon mice enclosed in healthy oxy-
genated receptacles. Mice under the
radium ray died in from six to eight
hours. while so-called control speci-
mems, kept under identical condt-
tions. except that the radium
were absent, remained
well.
microscopic examination OF the
animal tissues after death showed
no change except a diminution of
white globules in the blood and con-
gestion of the blood in the lungs.
The bodies had acquired such extra
ordinary radio-activity that three
days after death they made an inn
preston on a Photographic plate
through several sheets of black
paper.
Madame Curie says that "If the
nature of the radiations from radl-
UNI are little known the cause of
spontaneous radio-activity remains
as mysterious, and is always for us
a subject of profound establishment"
This radto-activity being commune

government or, more properly, the
University of Paris. is building for

a case of hydrophobia from the
bite of a fox has Just had its sequel
at the Pasteur Institute here. Some
months ago Captain Bower, the
master of a pack OF fox hounds in
the South of England, while killing
a fox which had been run down by
the pack, was bitten by the animal
in its struggles. The wound
healed rapidly, but after three
months had elapsed he was seized
with violent commissions and dien
in twenty-four hours with all the
symptoms of hydrophobia, and med
icai science was unable to account
otherwise for his death.
Miss Sylvia Bower. his sister, who
kissed him as he was dying, and
the doctor who attended him. were
Immediately sent over to the Paris
Pasteur Institute. where, although
cases of hydrophobia so long after
the bite had healed, while almost
unheard of, are not considered i'm.
possible, and It was decided to keen
Miss Bower and the doctor under
observation for fifteen days. That
period has elapsed and the two pa
tients have been discharged with a

Doctor Heuri-Martin, grandson OF
the great historian. made an an.
nouncement at the weekly meeting
of the Academy of Sciences of ex-
ceptional importance to the study OF
prehistoric man. At the foot of a
hill in the department of the Char
ente the doctor dug up a skull of a
man of the Quarternary epoch,
showing marked divergences from
the four or five similar specimens
already extant, notably a very pro-
nounced protuberance at the base OF
the forehead The teeth, which are
very strong, are worn right down 10
the crown. and lead to the belief
that their owner was herbivorous
Beside the skull were found a few
broken instruments and some other
bones, all of the same period, and
the digging is being continued with
the greatest care in the hope OF be-
ing able to unearth the complete
skeleton.

Neverto-be-Forgotten Scenes In the
Golden Gate Park--AIl san Fran

Excitement.

San Francisco. More than 100000
people massed in the Golden Gate
Stadium Saturday to see President
Taft turn the shovelful Of earth that
broke the ground for the site Of the
Panama Pacific Exposition Of 1916.
At 10 o'clock the President began
his parade from the city. Every mill
tary post for miles along the Pacific
Coast had been ransRcked for its
troops and its bands and every battle
ship Of the Pacific feet near San
Francisco supplied q quota Of Its crew
for the parade.
When the President appeared at the
stadium four bands from all the corn
ers Of the grounds struck up Hail to
the Chief. Before the President was
seen the crowd had caught the mean
ing of the tune, and when Mr.. Taft
stepped onto the platform the hillside
before him presented acre upon acre,
of sWaying, cheering humanity. They
were crowd of festival city on q
day of exceptional festivity, and a
word set them cheering
Madame Nordica, who sang at the
ground breaking exercises, rode in an
automobile Just behind the President.
When She appeared upon the stand
the people showed their holiday spirit
by the ovation they gave her. Then
the voice OF Madame Nordica rose
over the crowd She sang without
accompaniment some simple English
song. The crowd listened. to her in
tently
BY the time the President arose to
speak@the enthusiasm was at fever
heat. It was a hard task that he had
before him when he began to tell
them of the enormous task OF con-
struction the Panama Canal really
was. He spoke Of its history and then
of Its future significance to the peo-
pie of California and the whole west
coast OF the country. He concluded
by tacitly admitting that it was true
that he wanted the people of Califor-
mia to have the exposition
When the President finished speak
ing the Golden spade with which he
was to turn the earth was handed
him. He walked down from the plat
form to the hillside and with his smile
at its broadcast set his substantial foot
upon the spade The hillside tiptoed
and fought to catch glimpse Of him.
He gave a shove and the spade sank
into the ground. He lifted the shovel
full Of earth before the crowd and
they took up their cheering with re
newed vigor The dirt was laid finally
in a silver and gold-mounted case
A soldier handed the President the
halyards of the exposition flag. The
band struck up the Star-Spangled
Banner. Madame Nordica stepped for
ward on the platform and, led the
crowd in the singing. The President
halted, hat over hand and the banner
of San Franchises hope for 1915 was
run to the masthead.
Madame Nordica was not allowed
to finish the song. Cannon on the hill
sides about the stadium crashed out
a salute of twenty-one guns. The bat
tleships in the harbor caught the
salute and their big guns doomed an
echo to the salute. Three hundred
pigeons, 200 white doves and 100 car
=rier pigeons were released from
baskets.

Experience has proved that no
stock is equal to willow when dur
able baskets are demanded The
htgh-class basket has made place
for itself In the market even under
present circumstances, and the entire
decline In the trade has been in the
low priced basket, which completes
with the foreign willow product or the
American made wooden basket.
I To put a low priced basket on the
market with raw willow at its present
price the wages must be cut lower
than the normal standard in America.
For this reason the trade is almost
entirely in the hands of Immigrant
basket makers. who know no other
trade and who are seldom or never
reinforced by native workmen.
The remedy lies in reduction in
The cost of the raw material. The
cheaper the willow (when good in

can be paid to produce low priced

limited market On this point the en-
tire trade agrees.

Returns depend very largely upon
