she can start. The necessity for
these further developments should
not cause any embarrassment among
the promoters of the project; indeed
the fact that only such light changes
are necessary is absolute proof that
the transatlantic flight undertaking
has developed remarkably fast and
the construction of an aeroplane
capable of crossing the Atlantic has
taken much less time than was
imagined necessary by those who
have given thorough consideration to
the problem.
Gas it stands, the America repre-
sents an achievement much greater
than was thought possible within so
short time, The most successful
water aeroplane ever built up to four
months ago could carry only five pas
sengers and fuel for four hours. The
large European aeroplanes are all
land aeroplanes and there are no fly
ing boats capable of carrying more
than four passengers.
Making a flying. boat capable of
carrying fuel and provisions for a
flight of "A hours and so constructed
as to protect the pilot was big I'M
dertaking indeed; likewise to de-
delop reliable motors. That being
understood there was little expecta-
ton at first that such a machine
could be built on time to make the
cross-Atlantic flight in the good sea-
son this year.
Recognizing that fact Rodman
Wanamaker was willing to have
three machines constructed in Sue
cession, each to have the improve
ments suggested by the experiments
with the preceding. And so it was an
immense surprise to everybody to
find that the first machine was so eff
ficient that it seemed, and still seems,
possible to use it for the flight, with

GIRL STEALS TO AID INVALID
MOTHER-ARRESTED
New York, July s.-In' North Hack
ensack, N. j., today is an 8O-year-
old woman, bed-fast, the victim of
paralytic stroke, ignorant that her
daughter who has shaved for years
that she might be made comfortable,
is locked in a cell in the Tombs as a
thief.
Catherine Van Houten, tall, thin,
almost emaciated, and dressed only
in the cheapest clothing, is the
daughter. She worked for cloak
and suit manufacturer, receiving $13
a week, and from this endeavored to
purchase the nourishing food and
delicacies physicians said her mother
must have if she was to be kept alive.
She found it was impossible, no
matter how much she denied herself.
Then she began to falsify the pay
roll of her employer, until now it is
charged she took $4,000 during the
past two years.
81 knew it was wrong, but l knew
my mother would die if l did not do
it," sobbed the girl in her cell today.
81 had no choice and l would do it
again, but now it is all wasted.
Mother will die now. She will never
get over my arrest and then there
will be no one to look after her"
Miss Van Houten said she had
never been away from her mother
in the evening and a lieutenant called
up North Hackensack on the phone
and made clumsy excuses to the old
mother, in voice husky with emo
ton.
Other officers in the department
plan to interest some one in the girls
case and see if she cannot be rescued
from her trouble with a suspended
sentence.

He did the same thing in Aus

DOCKS STRETCH FOR MILES
Millions Of Tons Of Shipping Annually
Use the ouays and Wharves
Of London.

AS London is the worlds largest
market, so, also, is 1t the worlds lead
ing port. Yet few people-least Of all
Londoners-seem to realize what mar
velous hives Of industry are the docks
OF the metropolis.
In the course Of year more than
30,OO0,OOO tons of shipping use the
quays and wharves that constitute the
port Of London; and the value of the
foreign trade alone is something like
S90,0O0,OO0 sterling-about a quarter,
that is to say, of the annual exports
and imports of the United Kingdom.
IL would take a million men year
to produce the amount Of tea that
passes annually through the port. The
figures relating to other imports, such
as grain, timber, wool, meat, sugar,
wines and tobacco, are on the same
enormous scale.
In the wine and spirit vaults at the
London docks the gangways where the
wine is stored are 2SH miles in length.
For the wool trade the port of London
authority provides a space Of 80 acres
and it can store at one time more than
a million frozen carcases of mutton
and the 10000 tons of beef that Aus
tralia, New Zealand and South Amer
lea send to London each year.

First War Corresnondent.

The first war correspondent, ac-
cording to a theory propounded by
Sutherland Edwards, appears to have
been Homer, who was sent by the edi-
tor of an Argos paper called the
Chronos to describe the siege Of Troy.
Hosdlities lasted only about seven
weeks, and when they came to an end
the Greek chiefs we're in no hurry to
return to their wives. Homer was a
good sort, and as he drew a large sal
airy and a handsome allowance for eX-
penses from the Chronos, he readily
accepted the scheme propounded by
the wise Ulysses-to keep the war 60
ing in the columns Of his paper so long
as he could manage to write about it.
His letters were too good not to pub
lish, and meantime the Greek chiefs
had an enjoyable time at Troy and
elsewhere. Reissued in book form as
The lliad," these early examples of
war spondence have enjoyed a
wider circulation than was possible
even in the columns of the Chronos.

HAS NOVEL USE FOR RUBBER
italian Surgeon Has Brought About
Perfect Fusion OF That Sub
stance and Human Tissue.

Rubber has many uses, even TO re-
pairing the human body externally.
The great Italian surgeon Fiesohi
conceived the idea OF using porous
rubber in the form of hne sponge,
counting upon the affinity between
Il and human tissue to bring about a
perfect fusion.
Doctor Fieschi called this "nuova
carne." or new flesh" He expert
mented with II upon animals before
he tried 1t on his patients. He in.
serted bits Of sterilized rubber sponge
in various parts OF the bodies OF dogs
and rabbits and sound that in a very
short time they were not only en-.
veloped. but thoroughly penetrated
by granular tissue without any in
flammation, suppuration or other III
effects.
Having thus proved its value Doc,
ter Fleschi used the porous rubber in
healing two large wounds resulting
from the reduction of hernias. He
inserted II where II would be most
efiicacious in strengthening the mus
cular walls that retain the internal
organs. The wounds healed without
complication.
A year after the operation an X-ray
examination revealed the rubber still
in place and apparently become an
integral part of the tissues.
