DESCRIBES CRATER, LAKE
E. P. Cowell Lectures on Subject at
Pastime Theater

me crater lake of Crater Lake Nationa,
Park and the cliff dwelling of Colora do
were described by E. p Cowell of the
Franklin Institute of PHILADELPHIA in q
free illustrated lecture at the Pastime
Iheater yesterday. Several of the adult
spectators declared it was one of the hest
lectures and most beautifully illustrated
that has yet been given at the theater
IN the free educational campaign for
school children. which Is being conducted
Jointly there by the manager, A. j. Bach
rach. and Mr.. Cowell. The audience at
tending the session was unusually large
and representative.
Besides Mr.. Cowells lecture, Mai. James
Mclaughlin, Indian inspector for the In
terror Department, spoke. briefly describ-
ing the regions which were the subject
of the lecture. and told of a few of his
travels in that part of the country A
number of motion pictures were also
shows, the one seeming most enjoyed be-
ing Cinderella
Mr.. Cowell told the children that the
crater lake was about five miles in diam
eter and was formed in the crater of an
extinct volcano. 1t was first discovered
by white men, he said in 1853. although
the Indians were aware of its existence
for generations. The story Of the cliff

There are two ways to tell whether
you have weak kidneys.
The first il through the pains In the
back and other outward signs. Ihe
second Is by examination OF the Kid
ney secretiOns.
That Is why physicians make such
q careful examination when you ap-
NV for insurance, and IL there Is any
sign Of kidney trouble you are likely
rejected.
kidney disease is SO dangerous that
II II n bad mistake to overlook or neg
lect 1t. and IL pain In the back, recur-
ring headaches, or a fretfuL nervous
tired condition makes you suspect
some kidney trouble, take the trouble
to watch the kidney secretions. LOOK
for my of the following signs;
More or less than three and one-half pints
passed daily.
Too dark or too pale a color.
Passages too frequent, profuse, Or much re-
duced or scalding and painful
Sandy gritty cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers on
the surface when allowed to stand, or Jelly
like thickening.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur Tor q
time from things eaten, but II the
changed appearance continues, your
kidneys arc out of order and need
help. Neglect may prove serious.

SEEK ASSAILANT OF GIRL.
Police Trying to Find Unidentified
Colored Man.

An unidentified colored man. thought to
reside in South Washington, is being
hunted by the police to answer for an
assault committed Friday night about
1870 o'clock on Miss Elsie Grimsley OF
1913 South Capitol street.
Miss Grimsley had attended a theater
with some friends and went down South
Capitol street on her way home alone
Near NJ street she noticed two colored
men and heard one Of them say some
thing to the other about getting out OF
her way. Instead OF moving. one Of the
men dealt her stunning blow on he1
face. Both men then fed.
Her face still bore evidence of the blow
when she made a complaint to the police
yesterday afternoon. A colored woman
was found by the police who said she
saw the men running from where Miss
Grimsley was assaulted: She could give
no clue to their identity, although she
did give a description.

Herman o. Hesen, 1877 Sd 1t. ne,
Warrington, ID. C., says: 81 cannot
praise DOan's Kidney Pills too highly
In view of all they have done for me.
Kidney trouble I'm my case was caused
by exposure and the constant jarrinx 1
received while working ON the engine.
My back was very painful and ON sew
eral occasions I was laid up. The
least movement caused sharp twinx~s
through nay lOins and 1t often seemed
AS IL a knife had been thrust into me.
My bladder was lnnamed and I Had n
great deal Of trouble, especially at
night, from too frequent and painful
passages Of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from the
first, and the c0ntents Of q few boxes
restored my kidneys to q normal cen.

Nowhere else in the entire tropical worio

best standards of Europe and America,
and in which cooking, sewing, agriculture
and manual training are being Inaus
features one will begin to understand
why il is that educators from everywhere
are making trips to Porto Rico to STUDY
its newly established educational system
AT the beginning of the American oc-
cupation the average daiiy attenoa aasaa

Porto Rico now has a schoolhouse for

still in use which have matched roofs

sees a rural schoolhouse whose grounds

we'll equipped commercial department,
and those who take the commercial course
find their services in high demand after
graduation.
A very important feature Of the school
system of Porto Rico-the continuation
school provides practical instruction for
those children who finish the graded
schools and who do not desire to take the
high school course. The continuation
school provides for two-year course in
manual training. domestic science and
sewing, thus fitting the boys and girls
for the practical things of life. The
course also provides work in English and
Spanish composition rhetoric and litera-
ture. mathematics and bookkeeping. The
more advanced work in agriculture is
fully up to the best American standards.
The cooking schools of the island are
proving an especial boon to the people
and are serving to enlist widespread
interest in education. In the four towns
where such schools have been established
many parents have bought ovens and
utensils SO that their girls who take cook
ing lessons can prepare the family meals
in accordance with their instructions in
the cooking classes. The cooking course
is an adaptation of standard American
course in cooking, such notifications be-
ing made as will render it adaptable to

cooking school class every morning be-

primarily for their benefit, he would not
continue it under private auspices Thus
the early experiments, while they did not
go for nothing, were allowed to drop out
of sight.
Bases of Opposition.
The reason for this printed opposition
to Prof Langley was natural enough,
however unjust it may have been in the
light of later developments. Personally,
he was peculiar man, a very advanced
scientist, but absent-minded and diffident
Names and had few close personal
friends. He withdrew within himself
and this self-effacement was mistaken
by most people for unapproachable hau-
teur About the only people who could
always get at him, because they did not
know enough to be afraid. We're children
or these he was passionately fond
Newspaper men did not understand
him, nor he them. Neither side was
particularly anxious to bridge the gap.
and the result was that newspaper oppo-
sition and editorial dicule halted his
aerial work, and, his friends say, had
much to do with causing his DEATH
Prof. Langley. however, is regarded now
almost as the patron saint of aviation.
He never saw a man-carrying machine
in the air, dying just before the present
outburst of aviation activity. The field
day services Of the Aero Club are in
memory OF his monumental pioneer work

Government Takes Interest.

The world, or rather the government,
would not let Prof. Langley rest in
scientific retirement. Soon after the
successful flight of the model, the War
Department applied to him to know II he
could build a man-carrying machine to
be used as instrument of war. He
replied that probably he could do so.
but was not anxious to try However,
the matter was pressed, and Prof. Lang
ley consented to undertake the work II
the expenditures and commercial end of
the work were cared for by the govern
ment and taken entirely off his hands.
The result was the construction Of the
big Langley machine popularity christened
the "BuzZard." This was driven by a
powerful gasoline engine that, like the
! machine itself, was entirely designed and
constructed in the shops of the Smithson-
ian Institution. Much of the work was
done personally by Charles NJ. Manley
of New York, who was Prof. Langley S
constant and faithful engineering assist
ant.
It was not until October, 1903. that the
big machine was ready for a fight. Prof.
Langley insisted in trying it over the
water on the score Of greater safety for
the operator. Manley. who was to be the
aviator, was strong for trial on land.
as is done daily by modern aerOplanes.
There had been twenty failures before "a
successful launch over the water had
been made with the model machine. and
both Prof. Langley and Mr.. Manley an
ticipated several failures before the big
machine could be launched in the same
way.
But Two Trials Made.
These failures came as expected. Only
two trials were made. The season was
far advanced and money was exhausted
On each of the two trial launches there
were accidents, and the big machine never
got into the air. 1t is generally agreed
now that had it reached the air current
it would have flown. but further trials
were practically killed by public ridicule.
Flying machines were generally believed
at the time to be an impossibility,
when the man-carrying machine twice
failed the newspapers which were al
most a unit in opposition to Prof Lang
ley, made fun Of the experiments, and
Congress, which is decidedly gunshy of
newspaper ridicule, refused to make any
more appropriations.
