SOUTHERN SOCIETYS DINNER.

The Southern Society of Washington has already
taken rank among the most promising institutions
of the kind in the National Capital. 1t has wealth
of material to draw from, and its membership has
already reached large proportions.
Its first annual dinner, which is to be held on
Washngtons Birthday will bring out the best of our
local talent and will be graced by the British am
baSsador, who is to respond to the toast of Wash
ingon." Something of the SAVIOR of the old South
will be supplied by Miss Ann Vernon Dorseys negro
melodies and character mOnoogues. The salute to
the national flag and the national anthem will en-
PhaSlze the love of our common country.
The society has every reason to be proud of its
prospects, as indicated by this first annual dinner.

means of communication between the
members of squadron, 1t would carry
dispatches, and perhaps it could be
turned into some kind of a fighting
machine At any rate it might serve
for scouting in shallow waters, as we'll
as for reconnaissance from the air. 1t
would form too easy a mark for the
quick firing buns of a cruiser to serve
as a torpedo carrier. but there are
certainly a hundred other ways in
which IT could be employed
For peaceful purposes it may have
still wider uses. Beaumont's expert
ments have already established the fact
that it can be navigated partly in the
air and partly in the water, along so
crooked a river as the Seine, and
through the many distractions Of
fered by bridges and boats within the
limits of a great city. Why should not
a similar device attain great popular

upon it.
It was, believe. in America that the
first successful experiments with by
dro-aeroplanes were made, but Beau
mOnts apparatus, il is claimed. has
great advantages over its predeces-
sors. 1t certainly looks like a very
successful device, and it will. no doubt,
open the way TO many more improve
ments. In view of the many fatal ac
cidents which have ATTENDED the de-
velopment Of aerOplanes intended only
for use in the air il is probable that,
in the immediate future, we shall see
the "airmen" turning more and more
to the amphibioUs type of machine 1t
is quite natural that Beaumont should
DO so. because he is an ensign in the
French marine. (his real name being
Conneau). and water navigation is
consequently familiar to him. This
may give him certain personal advan-
tages in the development Of the new
form of machine.
That high authorities see great
promise in Beaumont's machine is suf-
ficiently proved by the undisputed
statement that the English navy has
agreed to buy it, if it answers the
tests. Even the laymen can see how
wide its usefulness might be both IN
war and peace. 1t would offer a ready

who won distinction last year IN
his long flights of aeroplanes
over Europe, and especially the one

aeroplane which he is going to sell to
the English admiralty, and he pro-
poses TO navigate il himself to Eng

ing flight over the English Channel
Part OF the time he will be on the

The peculiarities of his machine Will

Whether 1t is on the water or in the

by the same motor When it traverses
the water the aeroplanes are so dis
posed that they do not lift it into the
air, though they may add to its buoy
ancy and assist its progress by de-
creasing the immersion of the hull
Beaumont regards this machine as
practically safe, because, as he says,
the aviator encounters no serious
danger from a fall Keeping always
over or near the water, If a fall oc-
ours the worst that is to be appre-
hended is a ducking.
He has already tried the machine on
