An unusual purchase is contemplat
ed by the bureau of supplies and ac-

an invitation for proposals to be op-

will te about S250,000 and the bidedrs

10 Reconstruct "Aerodrome."

With the purpose Of demonstrating
the fact that practical hoavier-than-
air flying machine was actually bulls
by the late Prof. S. P. Langley, Glenn
Curtiss proposes to build and Lincoln
Beachey to fly an exact duplicate Of
the original Langley machine. 1t will
he copied from the "aerodrome" Of
II years ago, which is preserved in
the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington, with the exception of the en-
CINE. The motive power for the replica
of the new historic air craft will be
an 8o-hp. Gnome motor.
In the June number of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine appears a page view
of the Langley aerodrome, as it will
appear in flight when reproduced by
Curtiss and Beachey and equipped
with q modern motor. For purposes
of comparison the artist also shows
one Of the latest type of Curtiss fly
ing boats.
Both Curtiss and Beachey believe
that Professor Langley had solved the
problem of flight by heavier-than-ai
machines. Both feel that an act of
justice would be done by showing
the world at this time that only a sue
cession of untoward accidents pre-
vented the Langley machine from ac-
tual flight in 1908. Equipped with d
modern motor. instead Of the steam
engine with which Langley achieved
sach remarkable power in his day,
they feel assured that the machine
will soar successfully, vindicating the
genius Of the man who was laughed
to death by the newspapers of his
day.

4 War Every Three Years
In spite of the progress of civiliza-
ion. man remains a fighting animal.
Peace societies begin to think they
re making progress toward tanning
lis instincts, and they are confronted
Y another war. Here is partial
.st OF the wars of the northern South
America, in Central America, and the
Vest Indies and in Africa:
Crimean w&r, 1S54-56.
Scpoy mutiny, 1857.
Itaiy and France against Austria,
1859.
Civil war in America, 1S60-65.
Mexico invaded by Austria and al
les. 1S61-67.
Prussia and Austria against Den
mark, 1864.

sian. 1866
Franco-PrusSian, 1870.
Rusao-Turkish. 1S77-7S.
Servo Bulgarian, 1885.
Japanese Chinese, 1S94-95.
Ggeeo-Turkish, 1897.
Spanish-American 1898.
Filpino-American 1899.

RusSo-Japanese 1901.
Balkan states against Turkey, 1912.
Ba!kan states against Bulgaria,
1913.
Mexican war. 1914.
This, as has been said, is only d
part!al list. England has had several
mali wars, including the important
conquest OF the Soudan, which are not
included, and there have been num-
rous minor disturbances of one sort
md another. But the list includes
weaty fair-s;zed wars, or one every
three years.
There has been no falling off in
recent years. Take the last two de-
eades, for instance, and there have
been ten wars, or one every two years
Perhaps there is some encouraging
essoo for the peace societies to be
drawn from this fairly bloody record.
Perhaps it means that wars are van
shing from the earth. But it would
take a pretty incorrigible optimist 70
cad this prediction in the history
of the last half century.

indefinite postponement Of tho re-
organization Of the Kansas City, Mex

that war has interfered materially

Grants and concessions obtained
from Porhrto Diax, when he was pres

plans Tor great railroad that would
stretch from Kansas City to the Pa

suited In the wrecking Of much con-
