A Modern Accomplishment

New York, June 2s.-Ordered by
wireless, delivered by motor car
and acroplane after arrangements
made by telephone. Such was the
scenario OF a quickly arranged
demonstration OF practical appli-
cations OF modern science, when
W. Alice Burpee, a millionaire seed
man OF Philadelphia, undertook to
play n Little joke on friends In
John Wanamaker's store by send
Ing them an order by wireless from
tho Olympic after she had sailed
from the Chiisea piers.
Mr.. Burpee had been much anus
cd by the recent installation OF a
wireless apparatus on the roof of
Wanamaker's. II was explained TO
him that incoming Transatlantic
travellers could order things deliv
cred TO them at the pier. He grim
ned, and TO some OF his friends
he confided that he was going to
use Wanamaker's wireless plant
for an order that would not be
delivered for a long, hong time.
The Olympic had hardly swung
out into tho Hudson River this AZ
ternoon, when he flashed an order
TO Wanamaker's for some small
articles OF personal "a In five
minutes Wanamaker's had Thomas
Sopwith, an aviator, on the tele-
phone at Nassau Boulevard, and
had closed n contract with him to
deliver a package by aeroplane
from the Crescent Athletic Club

the deck OF the Olympic.
A light motor car hurried the
parcel to Bay Ridge, where Sop

The aviator took the parcel, sprang
into the air and went racing after
the big liner az she steamed out
Of the Narrows. He caught her,
eircled over her and dropped the
things on deck.
The calculations OF Sopwith az
to the proper instant to drop the
package from the aeroplane were

received from the Olympic late to-
night. The message from the liner

temperature was not kept down
though as some rous!ng speeches
ran II up to near fever heat.
One of the first talks was made
by state highway engineer, Curtis

of good roads and sad the develop

is about one-half that charged In
America, but the accommodations

What the Boys Thought.

A prominent educator, talking to a
class in an elementary school he had
visited, decided to Illustrate Il point he
was making by problem in long diyi-
sion, the intricacies of which the class
had just mastered, He put down the
| necessary tigmes and then said:
'Now, let uB see how many times
this number will go into the other. Let
us try six" lie tried six, and, as he
intended, six wouldn't do. "Well, let's
try five, then he said. Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
Say, Bill did a long whiskered,
baldheaded old feller come into your
room today
yep" replied Bill.
"And did he talk to YOU

Henri Rousseau, a man who used to
hold a minor government position in
France, was for quarter Of Il cen
fury the joke Of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the indcpcnd-

had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some Of his famous pictures
were Lady on Sofa In Il Jungle" ,"
Tiger In jungle" Il "Nigger In n
Jungle" He affected junglcs. which
consisted Of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as IL she had come out Of a NOah's
ark The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riOusly. Il am real primitive" he
would say, Some practical jokers even
went the length Of buying his pictures.

might adopt with profit A family
recently came there from the East,
bought a farm and intended to live
there permanently. After a time they

visited them, their neighbors did not
seem to know of their existence and the
newcomers quit the state in disgust.
