bred thousand dollars. and perhaps
more, will be offered in prizes TO aero
nauts who race around in the world in
any type of motor-driven air craft I'M
der the auspices of the Panama Pacific
International Exposition company OF
this sum $150,000 will be given by the
company, and subscription arrange
ments on foot for obtaining the re-

Francisco. The route as now outlined
runs from San Francisco through Reno
and Cheyenne, Wyo., and from there
either to Kansas City. St Louis or Chi
cago, and on to New York.
The Atlantic ocean is conceded to be
the most formidable stretch in the
race 1t will be essayed from Belle
Isle, a small point between Newfound-
land and Labrador. Cape Fairwen,
Greenland, the next stop, barring a
drop into the water, is 61O miles awa5,
and from Cape Fairwell to Reyjayik,
Iseland, is $40 miles further. One
more jump to Stornaway, in the He.
brides, is go miles-and the Atlantic
has been crossed. From the HebrideS
Warsaw, st. Petersburg, Moscow and
along the trans-Siberian railway down
into Manchuria and Korea, and across
into Japan runs the line of flight.
From northern Japan to Kanchatka,
with varying routes across the little
gap which separates Asia from Mort
America, no obstacle likely to be met
is insurmountable, it is declared. Van
couver, Seattle and Tacoma, Portland,
Ore, and San Francisco again-and
the world is belted.
The exposition's $15OOO0 will be
cut into three prizes-one Of 100000,
a second of 100000 and third of $780,,
900, Distribution of the other $780,

cities along the line of the flight The

the exposition was announced today.
Mr. Kruckman formerly was, secre-
tary of the Aeronautical society o.

pated He. will start east in few
days in a path-making trip around
the world
Preceding the start of the race itself,
there will be a weeks flying program

THEORIES A. To ORIGIN
OF TIE CATTLE SCOURGE

To get to the bottom OF the mat
ter. there is the question Of the in
PRODUCTION of the virus into the Unit.
ed States. How did IT get through
the protective wall maintained by
the Bureau of Animal Industry? The
disease did not exist in this country
The last outbreak had been thor
oughly stamped out six years ago. II
must have been introduced from
some foreign country, many OF
which are permanently infected
writes a correspondent to the Coun-
try Gentleman.
There may be more theories as TO
the outbreak b. this time. but those
collected are typical. Here is one
Of the first heard: A belt factory in
Niles. Mich. which buys leather and
hides from all parts OF the world.
had received a recent shipment from
Hongkong. China. The disease ex-
lists in China and II. is possible that
the germs could have lived in the
hides. Dr. Houck thought this was
improbable, however. as the hides
were processed and probably dry.
Shipments OF material OF this kind
are of course supposed to be made
safe before being given entry into
this country
Another theory was that tanning
materials used by the belt factories
in Niles might have carried the in
lection. Such materials had been
received from Argentina. Sicily and
Japan.
A rather far-fetched theory was
that a girl who had been vaccinated
for smallpox in a distant city had
been given the disease through the
use of infected virus. She came to
Niles, Mich. late in the summer.
There seems TO be little ground for
supposing this to be the cause.
