Mail by Aeroplane.

New York, May 21.-Paul Peck,
the we'll known young aviator, has
fixed tomorrow morning as the time
for beginning his attempt to carry
100 pounds of mail matter from this
city to Washington by aeroplane. The
experiment has the sanction of the
post Office department and will be
watched with much interest by the
officials, especially in view of the fact
that the recent progress made in the
science of aviation has given rise to
the hope that ultimately the regular
conveyance of mail by this means
may be practicable. In order to COM
ply with the law Peck has been sworn
into the postal service and his ma

Paid Good Price for III. Outlet.

The Brazilian nabob, Baron Fereau,
was as misery in trifies as he was ex-
travagant in other directions. It was
one of his peculiarities never to fee
servants, and the walters of the vari-
GUS hotels at which he sojourned were,
for that reason, not partial to him.
One morning, while staying at the
magnificent Maux hotel, in Rio de
Janeiro. he came down to breakfast
and ordered outlet. After he had
eaten it he ordered a second. Baron"

Worlds Congress of Navigation.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 21.--Dele-
cations representing more than TWEEN
ty nations and consisting of the most
noted experts in inland and ocean ma
vigation of their respective countries
have already arrived in this city and
additional delegations are to reach
Philadelphia today and tomorrow, in
time for the opening of the Twelfth
International Congress of Navigation,
on Thursday. In accordance with the
arrangement of the local committee
in charge of the congress the great
err part of tomorrow will be devoted
to a general reception and mutual in
PRODUCTION of the delegates. The con-
gress will hold it's first general meet
ing at the Metropolitan Opera House
on Thursday and it is expected that

honorary presidency and has prom
Used to attend the opening session,
will deliver the opening address. Re-
spouse will be made by NJ. Alexis Du-
fourny of BRUSSELS, high officer of
the Belgian Engineer Corps, who is
one of the former presidents of the
International Congress.
This will be the first time that one
of these congresses is held in the
United States. Previous congresses
have all been held in Europe, the
last at St.. Petersburg in 1908. Pre-
ceding this there were similar con-
crosses at intervals of three or four
years in Belgium, France, Italy, Eng
land, Germany, Holland and Austria.
With each congress interest and at
tendance increased as the nations
realized the valuable work being
done. The discussions and conc1us-
ions of these gatherings form the
best existing guide for all navigation
problems that may arise, because
they represent the worlds best ex-
perience and the consensus of opin-
ion of the greatest experts.

must always keep his wits keen and
ready for use. A case in point is sup.
piled by James Burrill Angel, in his
"Reminiscences" in this anecdote OF
his sojourn in Constantinople, as min.
lister from the United States:
The spies Of the sultan were every.

business was the most prosperous OF

sitting at the dinner tables Of the prin.
cipal hotels, to overhear the CONVEX.
sation Of the guests. With one against
whose visits had been warned, had
an amusing interview.
He was handsome, dignified Arab,
who had been in England long enough
to talk English fairly well. He intro.
duced himself to me by saying he had
been mayor of Jerusalem, and was
now trying to procure from the gov.
eminent concession for the con.
struction Of system Of waterworks
for that city.
He regretted-so he informed me-
to find that the government was Sc
corrupt that he had no hope of secur-
ing the concessions except by bribing
q whole row of officials. It refreshed
him to turn from those representa-.
tives Of corrupt and tyrannical gov.
eminent and pay his respects to the
representative Of pure and honest
democracy.

from me some remark derogatory to
the Sultan, which he could report to
my disadvantage, remarked that a
monarchy presided over by just SOW.

THE NEW HuMPTY DuMPTY."
 By Daniel Chaucer The John Lane Company. New York.
 Those who are afraid to invest their money these days in new novels for fear of getting "stung," as the expres- sion goes. may feel perfectly safe in purchasing copy of Daniel Chaucer' $ story, '"The New Humpty Dumpty.'
 It is absolutely the cleverest. breezeiest, chattiest. most original book that has appeared for many moons, and the author has interjected into its pages the most delicious sense of humor. sparkling confusion, and buresques os essential weakness that are very at tractive.
 Daniel Chaucer-if such is the author S real name-at least it's the one he writes under-is an iconoclast pure and simple, and has his fling at socialism, besides his belief in the absolute failure of democracy as anything but a rather beautiful and quite unavoidable theory show him to be an adept in the art of construction-in other words in book craftsmanship"

 The author declares that Lady Mac beth was a fit subject for psycho-

 Frederick A. Stokes X Co., New York. "The Long Portage
 The scene is laid in the Northwest and there Is always a charm and d bit of romance in connection with this particular part of the world-not because of the 1is- tance that lends entertainment. out be- cause of the wild, rugged. aloofness of that section of the country and the life of the people.
 ''The Long Portage" is story of snow and peril and-love-a trilogy which, when ceverly novelized. as it has been done in this case. by Harold Bindloss, makes a very pretty story and one of absorbing interest
 The story has to do with one, Vernon Lisle who tries to clear the name of a dead friend.
 In his effort to do this. he must go over the Canadian border into the wilderness, and there he encounters numberless halr- breadth escapes. and rushes into many ex- citing situations. which furnish a thrilling and daring recital.

THE MIDLANDERs.

By Charles Penney Jackson. Illustrated by Arthur William Brown. The Bobbs- Merrill Company. Indianapolis
 Charles Penney Jackson is now name to conjure with. Only a few years ago and he was a newspaper man, compara- lively unknown, writing anonymously for the daily press, but laying plans for the future. He was a genius, and he learned to know men. Then came his first big novel, "The Day of Souls" No sooner had it made it's appearance than MT. Jackson's future was asured; his ability was recognized. Another novel, My Brothers Keeper" followed, and the young author took another step up the ladder of fame. His latest book has just been published. It is called The Mid landers." and through it Charles Penney Jackson takes his place among the big men of American letters.
 Despite it's title, '"The Midlanders" might stand for the whole country in it's prob lens and it's characters. and yet the set tings are markedly individual. The narra- two envelops the Louisiana swamps and bayous, the farming regions and small towns of the Iowa reserve, with the glanl- our of romance. while the people and their lives are almost sternly realistic. and the politics are those of the present hour. The plot is intricate, and hazardous sit
  works it out to a triumphant conclusion. 1t would seem that the author cannot be dull that he Eliminates all that he touches, and his spontaneity the absence of any evident strain. can only come from one who is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of his subject.
 What William Allen White has done for Kansas, MT. Jackson has done for Iowa. What Frank Norris did for the social question of a decade or more ago. Charles Penney Jackson does for those of our present. "The Midlanders'' stands for the insurgent. the suffragist the progressive in politics. regardless of the party with which they may be aligned. It shows the chasm between the stand patters of the past. and the eager young men who shall inherit the future. It is universal in it's scope and strong in it's grasp.
 But it must not be taken from this that "The Midlanders'' is merely q thesis of thinly disguised political document. It is story, first and last, powerful story that will hold of it's own accord even though the reader cares nothing
