for-au fight should New York au-
thOrities attempt to kidnap Thaw
when he is turned loose.
A report has been circulated that
Thaw received a letter from Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, who had written to him
denying certain published statements
attributed to her. This, however,
could not be verified, but doesn't
seem improbable in view of the eX-
ce1ent press agent work Evelyn has
been doing on the strength of Thaw's
escape, which has it's harvest in the
crowds that are still packing Ham
meTstein's to see her dance.
ThaW's counsel are delving deeply
into Canadian law to find some basis
for their contention that he must be
proved insane in Canada. The Can
adian immigration act states that
idiots, imbeciles, feeble-minded per-
sons and persons who have been in
sane within five years previous are
subject to deportation. It is not stat
ed specifically that persons who have
been inmates Of asylums are subject
to deportation. Thaw's lawyers will
contend that he is insane only in
New York state and that anywhere
else in the world it must be proved
that he is insane.
When Thaw learned that Barnum,
the Matteawan guard who opened
the gate when Harry got out, was
accused of conniving at his escape,
he became quite excited and demand
ed that BarnUm should be released
at once.
''He is innocent of any attempt to
aid me to escape" he said. 81
wouldn't have harm come to that
poor fellow for the world"
Roger Thompson, the chauffeur
who insured Thaw's safe escape and
crossed the border with him, has
threatened to reveal everything I'M

This is the telegram he. sent to Thaw:

Study Birds to Discover
Secret of Their
Flight.

Messrs. Housay and Magnan, of
the Paris Sorbonne. have, with
this object in view. Investigated
the flight of POO birds. belonging
to seventy-tive different species.
They have discovered many very
interesting facts, which may serve
to guide the inventors of future
aeroplanes.
One thing that they have found
out, which greatly surprised them,
is that the ratio of the motive pow
err of birds to the supporting sur
face of the body and wings varies
inversely instead of directly. This
means that if the supporting sur
face is large the motive power is
proportionately small, and if the
supporting surface is small the
motive power is proportionately
large. Or. to put it in different
words, the larger the wing surface
the smaller the Totive power, and
vice versa
This fact may prove of great Use.
for hitherto it has been assumed
by the makers of aeroplanes that
the best flying machine must be
that having the most powerful mo-
tor and at the same time the great
est lifting power per unit of sur
face. Exactly the opposite rela-
ton is found among birds. The
best flyers have. ny far, the fee
blest motive power and carry the
smallest weight per unit of sur
face.
Direct comparison has shown
that If an aeroplane of thirty feet
spread. and carrying about four
pounds per square foot. is reduced
homologously, or part by part. to
the dimensions of bird of three
feet spread, it can carry a weight
of only about two-fifths of a pound

Wheat Unequaled as Food.

No other food in the world equals
wheat in perfection. I have lived
on wheat in various forms, with
about 10 per cent of nuts, for weeks
at a time.
I am careful about buying my
supplies, so that they will cost me
the least money. 1 have a taking
machine-you can buy one and
make your own flakes at cent
pound.
I buy the corn and wheat for
flakes by the bushel, and watch for
opportunities TO buy the fruits and
vegetables at lowest cost The ap-
pies and bananas usually cost me
about cents a pound, and my ba-
nanas I always get dead ripe-just
turning black, because they are best
then.
I buy bread one or two days ola
at the rate of five for 10 cents, for
nothing would induce me TO eat
new bread. Cabbage and many
other vegetables l eat raw.
If sometimes feel that I am not
getting enough protein. l add raw
peanuts when I am making flakes
and a little soaked dried fruit, such
as figs. raiSins or dates. to make i
little more palatable.

Invisible Air Current:
Play Big Parts in
Flying.

Nobody could see how it did 1t.
Invisible air currents probably play
a part in the phenomenon, but that
is not all. The secret also lies
partly in the structure and action
Of the feathers and in the control
of the bird over the curvature Of
its wing surfaces.
Existing aeroplanes are a good
beginning. but only a beginning,
and before they can be perfected
we must carry them through a
course of evolution resembling that
which the birds have undergone
during the long ages that have
elapsed since their reptilian an
cestors first developed wings and
learned % fly.

One Mans Diet and What It Did for Him

woman. who is filed with high
ideals of life, declared she would
rather die and be done with it than
force herself to give up her favorite
foods and beverages Coffee in par

health.
1t Is the belief Of many people
that various kinds of food are nee
essaIy TO the building up of a Wig
orous body. and that a change Of
diet should be made frequently.
Certainly a monotonOus menu pals
upon the appetite, and unless the
following list of eatables could be
changed and augmented not many
Of us would be happy in our re-
paSts for any length of time.
Nevertheless, when a man makes
such positive statements regarding
the benefits resulting from such a
diet, benefits to body and purse, it
IS worth considering. Let us listen
to what he says:
Here's a Well balanced ration for
one day. I eat only a little fruit
for breakfast.
Breakfast-One apple or benana-
Dinner-One dish of homemade
corn flakes, one dish of boiled wheat
cereal. one dish of vegetable salad,
two or three slices of whole wheat
bread, one banana.
Supper-One dish of homemade
wheat flakes, one dish of home
made hulled hominy, one baked po-
tato, one dish of fruit salad, whole
wheat or graham bread.

per square foot of surface. Now,
no bird is anything like so inef-
ticient as that.
1t becomes evident, then, that
the wing of the bird depends for
its power upon something else be
sides area. The elements that
must be taken into account, and
which we can not yet initiate, or
fully comprehend, are the quail
ity of the feathers, the stiffness Of
the supporting ribs, their elasticity,
and other unknown circumstances,
which, it is suggested, may depend
upon Authorization of the bird, that
is. upon its mode of nourishment

fects its nervous and muscular sys-

Understanding Eli G h t
Would Solve Flying
Machine Problem.

Probably a complete cOmprehen-
sion of the mechanism Of flight Of
a single bird such as the gull,
would place in our hands the means
of making a flying machine incom-
parably superior to any vet prOs
duced. The full secret Of the orrd
being discovered. we might I've able
to initiate it, But that secret re-
mains hidden.
Not long ago | stood on the deck
Of a steamer in Plymouth harbor,
and, with a number of intelligent
men, who were as interested as
myself, watched the flight of hun
dreds of guls, which came so close
that the movements Of their eyes
were plainly visible. 1t was an ex-
hibition of natures magic as won
derful as could be imagined. The
birds scared, turned, descended,
rose, increased and decreased their
speed, by slight tippingS Of their
wings and changes Of balance,
only occasionally tapping their
wings for few seconds. and it ac-
tually seemed to the observer as II
they did all this by mere exercise
of the will, as we sometimes imag-
inc ourselves flying in our dreams.
One would have said that they DOS
sessed some source or kind of OIL
ergy unknown to us. When the
steamer moved off they followed
and, without the least apparent
exertiOn, and often without any
visible movement of wing, kept
abreast of it, outstripped it and
sailed all around it. Without a
single flap Of its wings gull
would suddenly double its speed.

a n English philosopher once
n wrote a book on the human
hand, showing its inimita-
bic adaptations to its purpose, and
its almost infinite capabilities as
an instrument, or tool.
There is no doubt that many of
the most ingenious and effective
mechanical inventions that have
ever been made are based upon,
and were probably suggested by,
the wonderful capacities Of the hui
man hand and fingers. Inventors
have been able to follow these
hints from the structure of the
hand because. by daily use, all the
various functions of its different
parts are perfectly understood.
The wing of a bird is as marvel
Gus an instrument as the hand of
a man. and if its action could he
as easily cOmprehended it would
show us very quickly the best way
to construct flying machine. I'm
fortunately, since we were not
born with wings, there are many
things about them which are mys-
teries to us.
Inventors well understand this
fact, and special studies of the
wings of birds are being made for
the purpose Of getting more light
upon their action. in order that the
knowledge thus acquired may be
applied to the Improvement of
aerOplaneS.
