Mentioned for Honors.>

Among these have been mentioned Sir
George Cayley. F. H. Wenham, J. w.
Stringfellow, Matthew Boulton. Henson
Phillips and Hargrave. Gayle is credited
with the invention of the most essential
features of the modern aeroplane. the
vertical and horizontal rear rudder and
the wheeled landing gear. To Wenham
is credited the arched lifting surface. 1t
is said that he developed and patented
this feature before it was developed in
Grmany by Otto Lilienthal. Stringfel-
low was remarkable as builder of light
steam engines.
He flew many working models of aero
planes tnat were designed by others Some
of these models We're run on tight wire
and OF lers made short flights alone. Boul-
ton is credited with originating devices
such as are used by Curtiss and many
others or balancing flying machines. Har-
grave and Phillips are both known for
surfaces.
1t is said that Lord Northclffe con-
templates the erection of this statue
at the grounds of the Crystal Palace
or in Hyde Park. Its completion is not
assured unless the transatlantic hight
is success. but in this case it is said
that Lord Northcliffe will consider that
the event is worthy of lasting memo
rial.
Lieut. Thomas Milling. the army avi-
ator, has just returned to this country
after several months of aeronautc in

there was so much to see and so many

BREAK BETWEEN VILLA AND CARRAEZA NEAR
Members Of Constituencies Junta
at San Antonio Say Things Are
Far From Harmonious.

San Antonio, Textile break be
tween Carranza and Villa has reached
most critical stage. according 10
members of the constitutionalist iunta
in San Antonio. Within a short time
the members say, possibly within a
week, the leadership Of the constitu-
tionalist forces will be definitely de-
cided, Carranza either resigning and
giving place TO a chief of Villas Sc
lection or else so terrifying himself
behind his military adherents among
the cOnstitutiOnalist officers that
Villa will be forced to recognize his
supremacy.
Carranza, they say, has called a
meeting at Monterey of all officers
who are friendly to him. They attach
significance to the alleged fact that
neither Villa nor Governor Maytorena
OF Sonora have been invited to send
representatives TO the meeting.
In the meantime, it is pointed out.
Villa, whose retirement TO Torreon
after his capture of Zacatecas is held
TO be his first step toward sending
troops to Monterey to take possession
of the Monterey Tampico railroad. will
try to force CarranZa from control of
the army. 1t is claimed that more
than a week ago Villa asked Carranza
to resign, and that the latters reply
was the summoning to Monterey of all
officers whom he considered loyal to
him.
