A new type OF flying machine. the
object Of which is TO enable a man TO
initiate birds in utilizing the wind to
the exclusion OF other motive power,

the congress OF the society OF Sa'

Like large birds, the apparatus is
provided with a spreading tail and
two tapering wings, the latter being
so placed as TO enable II TO remain

as in the case OF bicycle. and. IL is

Apple orchards on side hill farms
without blowing the land is one OF
the future routes to prosperity in
Vermont. Orehardist authorities
during recent years have been teach
ing that II was necessary TO keep or
ohards plowed and worked to secure
the best results. Particularly has
this been urged by the schools and
there is no doubt that il is the ideal
way where land is reasonably level
and not stony, but much OF Yer
monts best orchard land is on high
ridgy. rough land where blowing is
a serious undertaking. Nermonters
therefore have reason to take more
interest in the newer mulch cul.iva-
ton which is proving just as success
full as blowing. with vastly less work.
The land isn't even plowed when
the trees are set. Holes are dug
and the trees put in and kept spray.
cd and pruned. The mulching pro-
cess is merely TO Gu. all the grass.
weeds, etc, that grows on the land
and spread It around the trees.
This keeps the surface damp and
supplies a condition similar TO the
layer of dead leaves and waste that
carpets every healthy growing for
est. In addition to the grass that
grows in the orchard II is well to
add straw and any other available
material. In the current issue Of the
Country Gentlemen is description
Of an orchard that has been worked
in this way for flfty-four years with
cut once being powed or feriilized
except by the mulching process and
is now bearing from twenty. to
thirty bushels per tree.

WASHINGTON BILL
ALAUGH-CREATOR

1.-THE Late Mr. Allen" a side split
ting comedy sketch Is the headliner
at the Washington Theatre for the
first part of the week. At least, that
was the opinion of some. All the
acts were Of headline calibre, and it
was rather hard proposition to pick
the" headliner. The sketch is
enacted by an accomplished and
clever company.
The Four Xela Sisters, an dancers
Of merit, gave an equally entertain
ing dancing act. Many of their steps
are new and quite original Some
new and entertaining feats of magic
are shown by E. Gordo, who also
brought many laughs by reason of
his sparkling wit.
A cabaret feature that combines
comedy with song was presented by
the Jimmy O'Brien Trio. Hodge and
Lowell are appreciated in a clever
"rube" act. In an original acrobatic
act Sansome and Delilah make good.
The latest motion pictures that are
shown round out an excellent bill.
''The Broadway Minstrels" will be
the headliner for the latter half Of
the week.

Al REEVES JUST
AS FUNNY AS EVER

Our old friend, Al Reeves, is APP
pearing at Miners Empire Theatre
this week with his same old line OF
talk and his usual company of pretty
girls for which, as he says, "give me
credit
In the leading comedy role is Andy
Lewis, who runs q close second to
Al in popularity, as was shown by
the way he was received when ne
made his appearance in the opening
slsit. entitled EASY Sailing" Andy
had to enact two parts, as the farce
called for the appearance of twin
brothers, which he handled in man
ner which only he is capable of.
AL Reeves himself appears in the
closing burletta, entitled Amy
Time" in a part that he can handle
with his eyes shut. He is billed as
Jack Durham. a marriage broker
who guarantees to get any girl with
a million or SO a titled husband
Lewis again shows to good advan-
ltage in this half, when he is palmed
off on a rich American girl as duke
or a duck, as he calls it. Andy
makes a big hit in this act with his
old time song, "S'All Right, Amt
Il? ?" a song which gives the mem
bers of the chorus a chance to dis
play their vocal ability
A feature introduced by Reeves for
the first time yesterday afternoon
and last night was the appearance of
Miss Ruth Shafter, Of Brooklyn, who
was signed up by our old pal AL
while acting as a Judge in tango
competition in Long Island, Miss
Shafter is the proud possessor Of five
silver cups which she certainly is
entitled to. She is. assisted by
Frank Hole, jr., well known anna
teur tango artist, of Long Island,
The steps which this pair goes
through seem impossible, but they
do 1t just the same,
There were many other novelties
introduced. leila Russell scored a
hit in a pianologue; La Belle Car
menctia appeared in Spanish dances,
! and some excellent posing wes
shown In an art display Of moving
pictures.
Vera George also deserves honor
able mention.

KEENEY PROGRAM
APR|ZE-W|NNER

Never ceasing to give the best,
Keeney's bill for the first half OF
the week consists of everything from
tunblers to magicians. And they are
all there with the goods, too. There
are feats of tumbling that are at least
seemingly daring executed by the
Pfcchiana troupe, an in which they
work considerable comedy. Then
there is the emotional stuff in the
sketches that is suddenly changed
into laugh. All in all It is Some"
bill.
Tor a headliner, the writer picked
George Walters and company, who
put on a sketch. 1t is a remarkable
study Of life il the underworld. Two
thieves, a man and a woman, rob
each other and are robbed by third.
The scene is laid IN a Bowery res
taurant The action Is intense and
the conversa lion Is fun OF meat
and comedy OF the most fetching
type 1t is really one of the best
acts of the kind that have eyer been
presented in Newark.
Broughton and Turner in comedy
slxit, Just Landed" exchange clever
remarks and sing old-time Irish
songs. The act is Snappy anu tooA
well with the audience. Sadie OFT
with songs and clever remarks, MADE
q hit as usual and enjoyed her usual
run of encores. We always like to
see you, Sadie.
The Picchiana troupe perform some
double somersaults that are decidedly
new, the seven men Topping about IN
q very daring manner. Musical sk1ts
as a usual thing are likely TO be en-
PERTAINING to the ear only but Lopez
and Lopez have an act different from
the ordinary inasmuch as they en-
p1oy electricity in illuminating tneir
bottles, glasses. ETC., on which they
play some classic and also ragtime
airs.
Grace Leonard, impersonating a
ooy in q variety of costumes, sings
amusing songs. Anna Owens and
company present an entertaining
sketch in which the husband finds
himself a candidate for mayor rum
ming against his wife, the suffragette
candidate. The returns coming over
the tape are somewhat mixed owing
to the fact that a racehorse has been
named for the wife and the results
of the race come in first, showing
"Else Smith winner by a neck, but
later the husband learns he wins the
election by vote.
HalIen and Burt complete the pro-
gram, and there Is also number of
picture films of varied assortment
