MENTAL STAGE - ACCIDENTS
WILL TEND TO MAKE AVIAToRS
MORE CAREFUL.
Special to The Journal.


Washington, June 15.-Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff of the army said
today that the science of aviation has
now passed the experimental stage,
and its progress would not be stayed
by the accident Tuesday at College
Park. Nd, in which Lieut.. Leighton
w. Hazlehurst, Jr., Seventeenth in
featry;, U. S. A., and Alfred w. WEIGH,
e professional aviator in the employ Of

tend to make the army avtators more
careful.
The accident happened when Welch
and HsSlehurst were attempting to
make the tests required by the gov
eminent IN a machine contracted for
by the war department
Although an army board was I'M
mediateiy appointed to determine the
cause Of the accident, 1t is probable
the cause of the machines failure
never Will be known. The crash came
50 suddenly and unexpectedly that
the two men met their death without
being able to make q single move to
arrest their fall Seven army flyers
were among the score of spectators,
but they cannot explain the acct
dent.
Lieut.. Hazlehurst was In his twenty
sixth year and was unmarried The
home of his parents is at Macon. Ga,
but he was appointed to West Point
from Mississippi, being graduated and
commissioned a second lieutenant in
1908. He had been with the aviation
corps since last March
Mr.. WEIGH, for several years a resi-
dent OF Washington, had for three
years been with the Wright brothers,

Confer With Postmasters.
The postmasters of the five largest
offices in the country have already
appeared before the committee, SO
Pittsburg was represented as being a
large first class office, though smaller
than any of the greater five, and as
being the center of a tremendous man
ufacturing area. The postmaster Of
Pittsburg reported that the board Of
trade of that city has a special parcel
post committee, working toward
bringing the consumer and producer
neare to each other by the new sys-
tenn. He also said that many of the
merchants are planning to have their
city deliveries made by parcel post.
Wilmington, Del, represented a
large farming and manufacturing dis
trict, with its mail connections close
with Philadelphia, one of the largest
offices. Jacksonville is the largest Of
flee In Florida, and the outlet for all
the mail of the state. 1t is peculiar
in having a special increase of force
in winter, the tourist season, and the
postmaster said that it was expected
that travellers would use the parcel
post extensively in sending home five
and ten-pound packages of fruit.
Suffolk, Va, and Charlestown, w.
Va, are both very small second class
offices, one in the tlde-water district.
with large truck interests; the other
far inland in an orchard country, with
diversified farm products. The post
masters of both Offices reported great
interest in the parcel post, and said
that they had continual inquiries re-
garding its scope.
From these postmasters the COM
mittee was able to CLEAN a great
amount Of valuable information.
which, added to that gained from the

OF sC|LLY
Group That Are Situated South
west of England.
Period at Which Islands Were Sepa-
rated from the Mainland Must Be
Far Beyond the Reach Of
History.

London-People sometimes apply
the term Lyonesse to the whole Of
Cornwall, which is a mistake. If there
ever was such a land at all it lay west
ward of Cornwall, and the Scilly Isles
are its relics. The name Of Arthur
plays like a lambert light about the
district; but the period at which the
Settles were separated from the
mainland must be far beyond the
reach of history, which in England a
only explore about two thousand years
backward. The Lyonesse of romance
extended to the southwest of Lands
End, and was connected in race and
legend with the Leon of Brittany. AS
a matter Of geology the tradition has
no satisfactory basis, though there
are traces of submerged forests in
Mounts Bay, and the old Cornish
name Of st. Michael's Mount repre-
sents that rock as having one stood
In the center of woodland. In reality
the islands are the last ~upheavals of
that backbone of granite which is so
impressive on Dartmoor and which
again comes into notice on the Bod
min Moors. True, ocean depths do not
begin till far beyond the islands, so
that in its relation to the great sub
marine platform Scilly may be con-
sidered structurally attached to Brit
ain, as Britain is to the Continent.
Some portion of the vanished region
may have survived, adjoining the
coasts Of Mounts Bay, till the year
1899, when, according to the Saxon
chronicle, Lyonesse was destroyed in
a great tempest.
When we come to the genuine his
tory of Scilly there are some interest
ing things to notice. The islands seem
to have been used as a penal settle
ment in Roman times; and in the sixth
century they gave a home to the
Welch st. Samson, who became bish-
op Of Dol, and who has left footprints
in Guernsey as well as in Devon and
Cornwall. The Isle of Samson is now
uninhabited, but it may have had a
fairly large population when the saint
established an ~oratory here; there
are many traces of early occupation.
TO many 1t is still more interesting is
the home of Walter Besant's Armorel.
Early in the tenth century Athelstan
made a %conquering expedition through
Cornwall, and is said to have spied
these isles from the high land at St.
Buryan--the day must have been I'M
commonly clear. He vowed to build a
church On the spot where he stood If

NIAGARA MADE BY GLACIER
Had a Fall of Four Hundred Feet
Over Great Cliffs.

That one of the greatest natural
wonders in the world was lost with
the melting of the Okanogan glacier
in the State of Washington, is the
opinion of government biologists, who
recently have studied a portion Of the
river bed Of the Columbia river IN
connection with the Grand coulee, the
great canyon that at n time was
the river bed.
When the Columbia river flower
through the Grand coulee 1t made Nj
agara insignificant by comparison.
This great river plunged from the up
per to the lower valley in a sheer
fall of 400 feet over great cliffs.
Moses lake is believed to have
been at n time part of an old chan
mel of the Columbia river. During the
glacial period, recent, as time is meas
ured b ythe %geologist, the valleys of
the Northern Cascades and Of the
OEa=ogan highlands were filed with
enormous glaciers, the largest of
which reached the plains before they
were melted In the warmer air of
the lower country.
The greatest Of these ice rivers of
eastern Washington flowed down the
Okanogon valley, which it filled to the
depth of hundreds of feet.
On reaching the Columbia river val
ley this glacier expanded and seems
not only to have damned the Column
bia, but to have filed It's great canyon
for some distance.
The southern limit of this great
Okanogan glacier is marked by a
terminal moraine many miles in
width. The moraine is formed of dirt
and rock material which was push
ed along or carried on its surface and
stranded where the Ice melted, and it
includes many huge blocks of basalt
and other rocks.
No more impressive scene, the ge-
ologists say, a be found in the Big
Bend country than is presented by
the great cliffs of black basalt below
Coulee City, over which the Columbia
once poured, but where now desert
shrubs are growing in the ancient
channel.
When the glacier left the canyon of
the Columbia and ~retreated up the
Akanogan valley the river re-
sumed its former channel.-Indianap-

PAIR LIVES SILENT II YEARS
Even Funeral of Child Fails to Break
Vows Made as Result of TrlV-
lai Quarrel.

New York.-The story of eleven
years Of married life, during which
not a word was exchanged between
husband and wife, is told in papers
on file here in a separation suit In
the state supreme court.
The pair-Mr. and Mrs. Carl Mintz
were married in 1884. For thirteen
years they lived happily together with
their four children. Eleven years ago
they quarreled. The dispute was over
some trivial matter, it is said, but the
wife declared that she would never ad-
dress another word to her husband so
long as she lived. He declared that
the arrangement was satisfactory to
him.
Mrs. Mintz asserts that both ad-
hered to the agreement. Seven years
g their daughter Dorothy died, but
even at the funeral service the vow
of silence was not broken. Mr.. Mintz
is 10Y seeking a separation.

he returned safely from their con-
quest. Probably he met with little re-
sistance on the islands, where he is
supposed to have founded Tresco Alb
hey. Later, in the same century, a
Scillonian had the credit of convert
ing the fierce King Olaf Of Norway.
After marrying the coast of Britain
and Ireland Olaf sighted the Settles
and ran his vessel into what is now
the harbor Of st. Mary's. A hermit
here gave him timely warning Of a
mutiny that was about to take place
among his own troops; he crushed the
revolt, but was severely wounded.
Carried to the monastery at Tresco,
he was there nursed into health and
Christianity, ~consenting to receive
baptism.
