Growth of the Earth.

There can be no doubt that the
earth had to go through stages of
chemical and physical preparation be-
fore it became fit to be home of life;
that the physical basis of life, as we
know it here and now, could not have
been formed unless there had been in
matter a tendency to completely when
ever it got the chance--a tendency. to
build up atoms, molecules, multi-mole-
cules. colloids; that the compounds: OF
carbon, with their large molecules and
with their great power of colloidal
union, were we'll fitted to favor the in
crease of structural completely, such
as we see in protoplasm. It looks as
if inanimate nature is as it is with a
purpose. At any rate, Professor Hen
derson brings forward cumulative evil
dence to show that living creatures, as
material systems. are in no wise for
eign to the earth, but are in the deep
est sense congruent and SOLITARY with
it--EXchange.

first cross country flying tour-that of
Calbraith Rogers, who flew from
Sheepshead bay to Pasadena, Cal. In
five months five fiiers under De
Krafft's management were killed and
.seven machines smashed up. Then his
nerves began to twitter and he re-
treated to the California mountains for
camping tour. Now he will not SO
much as look at flying machine. But
he is as deeply interested in the game
as ever.
when the big machine of tomorrow
is perfected we will be flying across
the Atlantic" said Curtiss. "But that
will not be for two years at least"
Twill that machine be a multi
planet" asked De Kraft.
NO. said Curtiss.
He stopped there. De Kraft be-
lieves that tomorrow's big machine
will be huge biplane, built on some
what different lines than those of to-
day, perhaps, and with a better en-
CINE. The motors of two years ago
would be junked today and yet today's
motors are the weak point in every
flying machine.
"Once tomorrow's big machine is
perfected" said De Kraft, war upon
the sea will become impossible. Cur

radius OF 125 miles. At a height of L.
600 feet the observer on it has an eff
fective range of As miles. It's flying

of flying boats of that sort would keep

Few SAILING Vessels Left.

The passing of the sailing vessel is
demonstrated better than any other
way by the figures secured from the
port of Hongkong Just one sailing
ship entered Hongkong in the year
1912, as compared with 6SS, one-fourth
of the total entries, in 1876. No sail

THREE views of q handsome dinner
i or reception gown are made pos
sible by the clever triplicate minor ar
rangement, In front of which it was
posed. The straight skirt, with a
demi-train, is made of crepe having
raised velvet roses and foliage scat
tered over the surface. The roses are
very large and in slightly darker
shade than the crepe.
The chiffon overdress and bodice re-
peat the color in the crepe. The I'M
der bodice is of thin silk in light
color. There is a beaded girdle, mar
row, and edged with the narrowest
border of fur. This tiny edge of dark
fur appears again on a small piece of
drapery made of the brocade, which Is
posed on the bodice, extending from
under the arms at the belt to the be-
ginning of the bust.
The neck of the bodice is slightly
pointed at the back, but is cut square
in front. 1t is shirred over the founda-
ton and is very simple. The short, full
sleeves are set in and edged with a
narrow band of the brocade A but
terfly bow of ribbon Is posed at the
front finished with silk pendents.
There is a frill of boxpiaited maline
about the neck of the bodice which
does not extend across the front. Ull-
der this is a lace edging which lies fiat
to the neck all round and is very at
tractive and becoming.
Unlike many overdresses, which are
wired into the lampshade effect, this

overdress is drawn in at the bOi TOM
with shirring thread. 1t slopes down
to a point at the middle of the back
and is finished with narrow band OF
satin ribbon tied in a simple bow at
the front with ends finished with pen
dents like those on the bodice.
The undersleeve of the bodice IL fin
ished with a band of lace like that in
the neck, and it is put on without full
ness. There is crushed turn-oack
cuff above the band of lace, made of
the chiffon.
A novel feature in the bodice r. the
introduction of a narrow casing III the
maline ruff which holds tiny support
ing wire. This is for the purpose OF
holding the ruff in an outstanding posi-
ton away from the neck.
There is nothing intricate or diff
cult in the shaping of this dinner
gown. The materials are not unusual,
and altogether it is one Of the most
practical and graceful models which
Paris has furnished for the present
season. In spite of the curious and
sometimes freakish departures FROM
the conventional which one sees so
often pictured, it is the practical
gowns of this character which have
pleased discriminating women of fash
ion. There is plenty of distinction in
the wonderful materials and in the
use of color, not to mention tassels
and bead work, without resorting TO
bizarre designs to get chic effects

size and power. 1t will be equipped
with at least two or three pound
rapid tirer, perhaps of the type re-
Gently demonstrated before England's
war lords. At height of 600 feet the
operator made q high score on an
earth target with this air cooled
weapon. But Curtiss does not antici-
pate the use of rapid firer against
troops on the ground but against the
enemy's flying machines.
"In the next war it will be the first
duty of an air fleet to sweep the skies
clear of other machines" he said grim
ly some months ago.
"How about dirigibles? ?" asked De
Kraft.
They are not practicable in naval
warfare" said Curtiss.

Manuscript in New York Library
Tells of Transfer.
Mirrors Part Of Price, Also Twelve
Horses, Cattle, Paint and $1.25 In
cluded In Payment to Indians
by Land Company.

The first real estate transfer in this
state occurred in IT'D The whole state
was sold. The price, paid TO a numbe
of Indian chiefs by Engliah promoters
was $1.25, q dozen horses, dozen cat
tie, three dozen looking glasses and
lot of tobacco, Dress kettles, vermilion
knives. gun powder, breechcloths anC
blankets.
These facts wre testified to in con
temporary manuscript included in the
private library of the last Charles
Henry Ward of New York city. The Ii
brary will be sold at auction in New
York on Friday of this week.
The manuscript is the record-book
of "The United Illinois and Ouabache
Land companies" and contains tran
scripts of deeds to Several Large and
Fertile Tracts of Land on the Rivers
Messissipy, Illinois, Ohio and Qua
bache and their Branches and Wa
ters," subscribed to by the chiefs and
sacbems of the various tribes Of the
Illinois and Piankashaw Indians, dat
ed respectively at Kaskaskia and Port
St Vincent, 1878 and It's.
II contains also other historical
records of the companies resolutions
and other transactions. 1t consists of
40 folio pages, closely written.
The Large and Fertile Tracts
which were conveyed comprise all of
what is now the state of Illinois. They
were sold to William Murray and his
associates, who were the promoters of
the land company.
The manuscript also gives contem-
porary testimony as to the meaning
of the word Chicago, mentioning Chi
cagou or Garlick Creek" in its de-
scription of the property sold.
The tracts conveyed were bounded
by "Haron Creek, Hilly Plains, Crab
tree Plains, Big Buffalo Hoofs, seven
leagues or Whereabouts to the Ohio
and Messissipy; also from the mouth
of the Illinois River to Chicagou or
Garlick Creek-thence to an ancient
battlefield and two remarkable hills
as well as the Foggy Spring and the
White Buffalo Plain" and so on.
In the manuscript is included resolu-
tons respecting the laying out of
towns and plantations at the junction
of the Mississippi and Ohio, the Qua
bache (Wabash) and Ohio, and the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers, with
directions as to the making of streets,
alleys and public buildings and the
manner of drawing lots and the terms
to settlers.
The establishment of civil and mill
tary authority is provided for, also
the sale of the company's shares in
Europe and the increasing of the hold
ings of certain officers of the Revolu-
tionary army, Baron Steuben, General
Wayne, General sd Clair and others.
The volume records the earliest at
tempt on the part of the whites to set
tie Chicago and the state of Illinois.
AS congress legislated the land com
pany out OF existence in 1901, it is
probable that few, If any, other of its
manuscript records survive.
