DISCARD BROWN STONE
New York Abandons Characteristic
Building Material.

New York, May 13.-New York is
about to lose another of its character
istics in the abandonment of brown
stone for building purposes. Row up
on row of brown stone dwellings along
the main avenues and side streets have
always been distinctive mark of the
city.
Recently, however hundreds of these
brown stone buildings have been RACED
and replaced by structures of brick and
terra Gotta, or white sandstone. Last
year more than one million bricks were
used in building construction in the
city, while less than $4,000 yards of
brown stone was used. Brown stone
cannot be attached to the steel skele-
tons of modern buildings as cheaply
as brick or terra Gotta

pels discovered in Egypt six years ago

of Detroit. Michigan, according to a
study made of the Freer manuscripts
by the Times. A facsimile of the
manuscripts has been presented to the
British museum by the university of
Michigan to which Mr.. Freer assigned
the task of publication and according
to the Times there have been found
in the gospel of ST. Mark several verses
which occur in no other known manu-
script of the New Testament although
they were known to St. Jerome who
quotes part of them
In the Freer manuscript after the
passage in which it is said that Jesus
upbraided his disciples for their unbe-
lief the text continues as follows:
And they excused themselves, say
ing that this age of lawlessness and

the agency of unclean spirits suffers not
the true power of God to be appre-

For the cause, said they unto

A large number of variations in other
portions of the New Testament also
are pointed out by the Times in the
Freer manuscript.

Chicago, May 13.-The unique an

forced to inaugurate a rule, in viola

PROGRESS in AIR
Remarkable Advance in Aero
planes Since 1905.
Inventions in L. S.-PerfectiOn
in Other Countries.

Washington, May 13.-The remark
able advance made in the science OF
aviation since OrvilIe Wright made the
first public flights in a heavier than air
machine at Fort Myer, Va, in 1908.
is the subject of a statement compiled
by the war department and just made
public. Although the honor of invent
ing and utilizing the aeroplane belongs
to the United States, it is disclosed that
virtually all the advances made in the
utilization of the air machines have
been accomplished by foreign air men,
principally Frenchmen.
In 1909, the records show, the
greatest height attained by a heavier
than air machine was 1,450 feet The
mark now stands at more than 10000
feet, while the height of something
over 10000 has been attained by a
dirigible balloon. The aerOplanes.
however, have demonstrated that they
can rise higher and much more rap
idly and for that reason their efficiency
in a military sense is regarded as much
greater.
In both speed and duration of flight
the strides since 1909 have been re-
markable. In that year the speed
record as As miles an hour, while the
length of time that a machine kept
in the air was hours and II minutes.
The present record for speed now is
1859 miles per hour, made by
Vedrines of France, while another
Frenchman, Tourney. raised the rec
ord for duration of flight to Is hours
and II minutes. Bussom, still another
Frenchman, recently also established a
record for speed with passengers.
With five persons with him in his ma
chine he made 54 miles an hour in
sustained flight. The war department.
records show that six persons have
been carried to a height of 2,053 feet. |

NEEDLESS NOISE.

Chicago, May ia campaign
against needless noises was started last
night when the council authorized the
health committee to find ways and

reputation of being one of the noisiest
cities in the universe.
Alderman Willis o. Nance, chairman
of the committee, stated that I'M

VOUR confidence is an as

make you a customer and

this they must make honest

girls and their guests will turkey trot
and tango with faculty permission at
the senior promenade on May 80. The
rule forbidding these and other dances
that come under the euphonistic
classification of lone steps has been

are no less moral than the two step.
The students have made it clear that
they are through with the old dances
for good but they promise that their
execution of the one step will be proper.
