Futures Novel Features.
That the skyscraping Office building of
the near future will contain many new
features was the prediction Of c. A. Pat
terson secretary of the association TT
will be a matter of very short time. y
said Mr.. Patterson, when big office build
ings will have elevators running hori-
zontally on different floors. Furthermore.
patrons will pay fares to ride on these
cages and get transfers from the vertical
lifts to the horizontal, just as we get
them on street cars now.
They will pipe pure air into the big
city buildings just as they pipe pure
water. and bungalows built on top of
tall buildings will house the owners in
summer. A building permit for such a
bungalow already has been taken out in

CALLED GIGANTIC SEA SLED.
Hull of Cross Ocean Filler Being Sup.
piled With Runners.

HAMMONDSPORT. n. Y, July IA
The hull of the Wanamaker transatlantic
flying boat, the America, is being turned
into a gigantic "sea sled" The experts in
charge of the machine have unanimously
decided that this is the best system to
raise the craft with its heavy load from
the surface of the water.
Two big hollow runners, with an air
space between will take the place of the
V-bottomed hull. This method has been
found efficient in many speed craft and
both Lieut.. John C. Porte, who will pilot
the America in her over ocean flight
and Glenn II. Curtiss believe the solution
of the problem that has delayed the start
of the trip will be arrived at within a
few days.

The contract was signed also by the

so that this years encampment at Vir-

1t was stated today at District militia
funds are available out Of the National

period of ten days. as now fixed. an
additional five days. making. possibly. a
total camp period of fifteen days.
Officers at headquarters today are busily
engaged in completing the final arrange
ments and general orders directing the
movement of the troops are expected to
be issued in day or two.
So far as the officers and men of the
brigade are concerned. the proposed en-
campment this year at Virginia Beach
is the most popular outing idea that has
come up or been carried out since the
movement of the troops to Massachu-
setts several years ago to participate in
the big maneuvers held there If any
thing, the coming encampment is more
popular. perhaps, because in the Massa-
chusetts movement there was the neces-
sfty Of continual marching from the
south coast to Boston.

ST. .SW|TH|N'SDAY
TODAWN TOMORROW
Weather Conditions a Traditional
Feature of Old-Time An
niversary.

| Tomorrow is the anniversary of st.
Swithin's day and many who are versed
| in church lore always look forward to
the weather conditions of the day. mind
full of the doggeral lines which have been
handed down through many generations:
st Swithfn's day If thou dost rain
| For forty days 1t will remain:
st. Swithin's day If thou be fair
For forty days it will rain ma mair."
When ST. Swithin died. church history
tells us. he left the injunction that he
should be buried "in a vile and unworthy
place." so that human kind who paused
before his resting place would ever be
mindful of the contrast between the hu-
man and the divine-of his teaching.
that though he tried to live as the Crea-
tor had pointed out. still he had far
from succeeded in living as his Redeem
er would have had him-and that his
resting place was an appropriate one
Rain Marked Displeasure.
He declared that in this place he ever
wanted his remains to rest, but July 10,
S91, his relics were removed from the first
place of interment and for forty days, 1t
Is declared, the rain fell, marking the
displeasure of the saint at the removal
of his remains.
Tenth-century writer's expressly declare
that the removal took place after vision
of the saint who directed it. His biog-
raphers tell of a heavy shower on that
day. but the forty days rain. some say.
Is like the story of the Three Black
Crows" aud is only tradition that orig
mated within the last two or three CEN
turtles.
History should say, it Is declared. that

geration to blossom forth several cen
turtles later into forty days continuous

Survival of Pagan Day.
Durham chronicles tell that a great
downpour of rain took place on ST
Swithins day. 1915. while we have Prof
Earle in his Life and Times of st.
Swithin' suggesting that we have in this
''downpour' the survival of some pagan
mately became SO identified with the
festival that the superstition clung to
the saints name. and festival when the
pagan tradition had died out.
However that may be, the tradition
has been disproven. it is declared, by OBJ
servation in both this city and at Green
'wich for twenty years that a dry st.
Swithin's day has been frequently fol-
lowed by more or less rain within the
following weeks.

Fine Prospects for Recreation.

The coming encampment gives a pros
pect Of considerably more enjoyment.
without so much hard work. The pro-
gram Of instructions prepared at head
quarters here, sanctioned by Gen. Har-
ries and approved by Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood. commanding the Eastern Depart
ment of the United States Army, con-
fines the hard work during the camp
period to the morning hours. SO that with
the exception of guard duty, and cere-
monies such as evening parade. the men
will have the greater part of the after
moons and the early evenings for recrea-
ton.
Recreation at the camp will include
surf bathing in the Atlantic ocean. The
camp site Is short distance below the
settlement of Virginia Beach, Va. It is
half mile inland, but one may stand on
the camp site and see the surf breaking
on the shore.
Directly alongside the camp ground is
a large fresh-water lake, which will pro-
vide not only boating but excellent fish
ing. The Virginia Beach casino en-
braces all seashore amusements, and is
only a short distance from the camp
grounds. A feature of the casino is a
big ballroom.
The start for the camp site will be
made from Washington early in the
morning of Friday. July 81. The troops
will assemble at the various armories,
the hour of assembly being left to the
organization commanders.

May Extend Camp Period.

The plans for extending the camp
period five days at the end of the period.
or. in other words, until August Is,
are now In tentative shape. and will be
decided on the basis Of whether or not
the funds needed are found to be avail
able at that time
The men Of the National Guard have
had a lot OF hard work at camps during
the past few years and have never en-
joyed before a seashore camp as bri-
gade. There is much enthusiasm among
them at the prospect of the coming camp
and it is expected that fully 1.sOO officers
and men will take part this year. This
800 is exclusive of the 1st Battery. Field
Artillery. which will camp at Tobyhanna.
Pa. and the Naval Battalion, now re-
turning from it's cruise on the battleshp
Rhode Island from Bermuda and in At
lantic waters. Between LOGO or 100 par
ticipated last year in the camp at Har-

prospect of cool breezes and a daylight
trip down Chesapeake bay will have its
effect in bringing up the number OF men
in the rosters
The return trip may be made by steam
er directly to Washington. but If it Is
found impossible to use on the date of
the return trip the particular steamer de-
sired for the service the return will be
the same as the going trip.
