FOR SAFER AERoPlANEs.

It is announced that the Wrfghts have nearly perfected 8 new regulator for aeroplanes as q means of increas- ing their safety. not increasing their speed. This device will aid them in gliding to earth when an accident to machinery happens in midair, and thus decrease the number of fatalities.
 This invention has come none too soon, for in September 16 fatalities were added to the list which was made a full hundred by the death of Hans Schmidt at Berne, Switzerland, on Saturday
 There has been more flying the past year than ever, and the number of fatalities has been double the total numter for three preceding years
 The cause of many fatalities has been the inclination of aviators to give spectacular exhi hibitions, or to take un- warranted risks.
 In this, as in all other occupat tio1s, the men of caution and judgment have generally escaped serious injury.
 The aeroplane was not made to be fooled with any more than the buzz saw.

ON HIS JOB AGAIN.

News comes from Washington that Dr Harvey Wiley. chief of the chem istry bureau, and champion of pure food and a square deal for the people, is back on his job. apparently with highly agreed ble renembrances of his recent vacation and Vindication.
 His next appearance in public will be at Louisville. Ky. where he is to make an address in which he will de- vote attention to the important part American women may play in the en- forcement of pure-f food laws.
 Dr. Wiley may be a crank, but he is no quitter. a~d he has the support of the people because his honesty of pur- pose m their behalf is so apparent
 Mrs. Wiley, who is in sympathy with her husbands work, is openly a leader for a woman's movement against unclean groceries and meat shops Cleaner and more healthful food will be their slogan: and it ought easily 10 become a national movement.

AN EXTRAORDINARY ROAD.

General Dupont proposes to make an object lesson of his mile macadam road across the state of Delaware which will attract the attention and command the interest of the whole country.
 This is what he says of his public enterprise:
 Every 20 miles I have in mind the ests blishment of agriculture expert : ment stations for the benefit of the farmer and development of the state, in charge of graduates from the agri- cultural colleges in the country They will show the farmers of Delaware, and those of any other state how two blades of grass will grow where they had grown one before. Of course. there will be other representative ad- iuncts of farm life, livestock of the best breeds. for it is my belief that only healthy and the best cattle should serve the needs of the human race"
 AS to the road itself, my ideas in- volve a combination which would ul- timately provide for both motor driven vehicles and horse drawn carriages and wagon. 4 40-foot road should take care of the motor vehicles. and also permit of reasonable speed for ordinary vehicle traffic A 30-foot railway will give ample space for horse drawn vehicles. I believe the value of this road when finished will be to show the people of the United States by a practical example, how any section can build road that will pay for it's maintenance will ultimately pay for itself, and pay those who con- triouted the land a handsome dividend m the original ground or investment County or state credit might be need sd temporarily, but in a growing sec tiCn for only a very short time''
 Trees ~-ill line the roadway, ar ranged in such manner as to afford the greatest protection, for General du Pont considers that much of the success of upkeeping European roads is due to the care of the trees along the roadside. This road will also have stations for the landing of airships, after the latest known methods adopt ed by the Belgians.

 T never saw anybody so unreason- able Ezra. Nothing could be simpler than the little thing I ask you. All you have to do is to go to Miss Blk hammer and say to her that want two yards of the stuff I admired SC Mrs. Stacl1low. She'll know in an instant what l want if you mention that Mrs. Staclxlow said her sister had bought ten yards of that material to make dresses for her twin daughters Henrietta and Pauline who are going east to visit with their grandmother until Christmas.

TO TAKE PRIMARY LESSONS IN
 AGRIcULTURE.

The idea of teaching the Blackfeet Indians lessons in agriculture has the endorsement of the government, and the most intelligent Blacl1feet braves that could be found upon the reser- Nation will be brought to the Madison Square garden exposition, November 3, in the hope that they will go back to their people inbued with modern agricultural ideas. Before the land of the Blackfeet reservation is opened to the white man, each Indian is to be allotted farm. The number of this tribe has dwindled to 5000, and con- sress dealt severe blow to the sur vivors. last year. when it set aside a territory larger than the state of Rhode Island and established Glacier National park. This newest of Uncle Sam's national parks. now closed to the Indians as hunting ground, abounds in big game of all kinds. But the Blackfeet braves must give up their bows and rifles. and try~te be- come farmers.
 The Blackfeet are the highest type of Indian. Their integrity, fortitude, chastity and admirable dignity place them above the other tribes. It is proba ble that their demeanor at 1this national land show will set an enviable example to. some of. the New York "Apaches," the East Side Indians, the "Whyos,'' Paul Kellys," Monk East mans and others, who would, per haps, derive far less benefit from at tending the land show. In this con nection it may be stated that the mana cement of the exposition is rals- ing a fund to buy tickets for the New York proletariat, and to try to see whether agricultural ideas will not have civilizing influence on them as we'll
