TRANSATLANTIC FLYER
DR.. Bell Discusses Feasibility of Over
Ocean PASSAGE.

The possibility Of a transatlantic
ocean flyer in a -than-air ma
chine in 13 hours, is pointed out in a
communication to the National Geo
graphic society, at Washington, d. c.,
from DR.. Alexander Graham Bell. in
ventor of the telephone and former
president of the society, says a Wash
ington dispatch.
The distance from Newfoundland
to Ireland is less than 1000 miles,"
says Dr. Bell. This means that if
you go at 100 miles an hour you will
cross the Atlantic in 20 hours-less
than Il day. We have flying machines
that go at a greater speed than that
We already have machines that could
cross the ocean if their engines can
keep going for 20 hours. OF course
these are exceptional machines; but
even the ordinary machines of today
make so miles an hour with ease.
Now. Il flying machine flies faster
as you go higher up, because the rarer
air offers less resistance to the motion.
while the propeller gives the same
push with the same power, whatever
the elevation. AS you get into rarer
air the propeller spins around faster.
\ 50-mile- e-an-hOur machine flying two
miles high in the air-and we have
machines that have gone twice as
high as that--will fly much faster
than 80 miles an hour Then at an
elevation of two miles high in the air.
there is a constant wind blowing in
the general direction of Europe, hav-
ing a velocity anywhere from 25 to so
miles an hour.
'As a net result of all these things,
there can be little doubt that any
ordinary machine that is able to sup
port itself in the air at an elevation Of
two miles high. will attain a speed Of
at least 100 miles an hour in the di-
rectiOn of Europe. and that means go
ing from America to Europe in
single day. Calculations show that,
taking all these circumstances into
consideration, our best machines

Elsa sat up, seized Martha by the

woman to go about the world, inquir-

Sometimes she was only a day late.
Many cablegrams she sent but upon
her arrival in each port she found that
these had not been called for. Over
these heart-breaking disappointments
she uttered no complaint. The world
in which she could only look back and

would find him.
In the daytime there was the quest;
but, ah. the nights, the interminable
hours of inaction, the spaces of time
in which she could only lie back and
think. Up and down the coasts, across
islands, over seas, the journey took
her, until one day in July she found
herself upon the pillared veranda of
the house in which her mother had
been born.

BOUGHT THEIR EXPERIENCE
Asbury Park Newspaper Venture and
What Came of X.

| What Came Of It.
The Asbury Park Times, a daily
! ..ewspaper established last fall by a
group of business men Of that city,
including the head Of its largest de-
partment store, is to quit the field. Ac-
cording to the statement issued by the
board of directors the Indebtedness
above the assets is not large, but the
board declares that because Of the i'm
possibility of longer financing the en-
terprise they advise the winding up
Of it's affairs.
The stockholders are probably now
convinced that while it is easy to start
daily newspaper it is difficult to
make it a success without plenty OF
capital, in a field that offers favorable
opportunity.
When the promoters of the Times
were discussing the feasibility OF
starting the paper they called into
conference several experienced New
York newspaper men, who unanl-
mously advised them against the pro-
ject unless they were prepared to put
up at least 100000 at the start, and
be ready to put up $4,000 more If 1t
should be needed. They said that
few daily papers pay expenses the
first year even in a favorable field.
In Asbury Park the daily would have
to meet the competition Of an old and
well-cstablished newspaper, and time
would be required to put it on it's
feet.
This advice was not taken. The
merchants who organized the COM
pany believed that they knew more
about the matter than the newspaper
men and went ahead with the pro-
ject. After having put much less
than $4,000 into the Times they now
admit that the paper is a failure and
that they can no longer supply funds
for carrying it on.
The hackers of the Asbury Park
Times are wiser than they were, and
doubtless when, in the future, some
one comes along seeking for contri-
buttons for the starting Of another
daily they will keep Il firm grip on
their bank rolls. Their experience
has been the same as that Of many
others who have been anxious to pose
as newspaper publishers.-Editor and

WERE NO "GooD OLD DAYS."
People Now Are Just AS Upright As
In Former Years.
(To be Continued.)

We may as well demoliSh the time
worn superstition that the good old
times again are all that we need to
make us happy. There never was any
good old times. Say not thou, What
is the cause that the former days were
better than these?" chides the preach
er, showing that the complaint is as
old as human nature. Hear Homer:
Few sons are like their fathers; most
are worse, only a few are better" If
in Homer's opinion-and he puts the
words into the mouth of Athena,
speaking on the guise of Mentor, dou-
bled- distilled wisdom-mOst men are
worse than their fathers, then upon
what degenerate days must we have
fallen! Give a length of time like
that between ourselves and Homer,
and the complaint falls to pieces of
its own absurdity.

young people of the coming genera
ton are not less able or less earnest,

tion?" | feel that we, the talking gen.
Grafton, might suffer in comparison

honesty and courtesy and common
human kindness. Did we all once
have learning and wit and zeal?

The postmaster general Of the Con-
federate states, has issued a couple Of
circulars to postmasters and con-
tractors for mail routes, the substance
Of which we give to our readers. Post

with the United States, until this de-

ment can be organized, or the United

Postmaster General Reagan is author
lied by proclamation to continue, pro-
visionally, present postmasters, and to
enter into new contracts with parties
carrying mail. No change whatever
will be made until one or the other
contingency arises, owing to the i'm
practicability of mixing the employees
of two governments in one and the
same service.

CAN'T DODGE PROSPERITY
Bumper Crops Sure to Make Good
Times, Saws John 3. FarUelI.

1.-The biggest crops of all kinds for
years are reported by our travelling
men," said John V. Farwell, head Of
the John V. Farwell company, one Of
the largest dry goods wholesale houses
in the west. THE railroads have
arranged to handle the produce as fast
as it is delivered. Our markets are
waiting to receive the shipments, and
the bankers are anxious to get their
reserve cash into circulation. With
these potential factors at work, the
country cannot dodge prosperity If it
tries.
The depression Of the summer has
partly been due to lack Of confidence
on the part Of capital. Much mon
ey went into hiding to await de-
velopments. Whatever apprehension
was felt, however, has been set at rest
by the bumper crops. The next move
is the distribution of products and
money, so that prosperity will be
brought to every individual. That
such prosperity will come within a
short time is reasonably certain"
Asked what effect the crops would
have on prices and cost of living, Mr.
Farwell said:
1T is too early to answer that ques-
ton intelligently. In my mind, the
first thing the country wants to do is
to get both labor and capital to work
in other words, to put the money in
to the hands Of the people who can
buy. The question Of prices will then
take care Of itself"
George NJ. Reynolds, president Of
the Continental and Commercial Ma
tional bank, said:
Crops are becoming more and
more a deciding factor. There has
been too much talk of business reac-
ton. We have promise now that our
agricultural yields, including live
stock, will reach the stupendous total
of $1,000, 100000 to $4,000, 900, 900.

Frederick DeBary will Leave the St.

Potomac

Times-Union: The Frederick De-

has been sold TO the Potomac and
Chesapeak Steamboat Company and
Capt. B. F. McHorney and Chief En-
gineer E. Fitzgerald Of the Potomac
and Chesapeak company are in Jack
sonyille from Washington TO take the
familiar old river steamer north.
For thirty years the Frederick De-
Barry has been one Of the landmarks
of river navigation and in that time
has taken many thousands of people
from this city to the upper river
points comfortably and safely
The steamer is known as one of the
staunchest that ever piled these wa
tiers and has made several voyages
outside to Boston, where it was in the
summer excursion business.
Thousands in this city and along
the St. Johns river will miss the Fred
erick DeBary and will be sorry to
learn that it has been sold and will
be no more in these waters.
The DeBary will be used in the
passenger and freight service on the
Potomac and its tributaries and will
doubtless become as popular there as
it has been in the st. Johns river.

OF pure food. clean streets. social
centers and all such, but they only
follow the leaders.
The clever president OF the wom-
ems club in Washington, D. c., is
holding open meetings each week, to
which all women are freely invited.
This is a good move in the right d.
rection. Women who might be shy
Of seeking admission TO established
clubs flock to the open meetings.
They find many things Of vital in
terest TO their homes discussed in an
interesting way and naturally they
are glad 10 find themselves welcomed
as active helpers. This may be the
beginning OF a new club movement
which will enroll ten millions of wo-
men in vast cooperative crusades
for health and sanitation and all
those things which make the home
better.
Do you remember the old story Of
the falling of mamma from Heaven?
Every person had a wooden bowl in
to which was to have fallen his por-
ton of the life sustaining food.
Some people turned their bowls up
side-down and refused to believe in
such a miracle unless they actually
saw the flakes descend from the sky.
But they grew weary of watching,
their eyes were heavy and sleep con-
quered-the mama fell but the in
verted bowls caught none of it. The
sleepers awoke, saw their neigh bors
feasting and with the ignorance and
narrowness of faithless souls blam-
ed an unjust Providence for dis
eliminating against them. Others
there were who wayered between be-
lief and unbelief and at length in I'M
certainty and INDIGESTION carelessly
tossed their bowls upon the ground
in leaning position. When the
mama fell most of it was spilled and
only a small portion was left to re-
mind the hungry owner of what
might have been his.
But those who had faith in the
promise, who listened not to the
doubts and fears of neighbors, but
who, each night placed their wooden
bowls~in safe, secure and upright
position beneath the starry dome of
the heavens, believing for a certain
ty that the morning would find them
full to overfiowing were rewarded
beyond their less fortunate friends
and neighbors.
No better comparison can be found
than the above in illustrating the
benefits to be derived from club life.
The mama falls upon us all alike
and it rests entirely with ourselves
how much or how little we gain or
lose. Some women grow wise and
deep, broad in their sympathies and
kind in their judgements, while
others are narrowed, hardened and
become petty and spiteful through
their personal ambition and self-ap-
probation Club life does not make
these women what they are, but it
brings out and develops those traits
which are strongest in their natures,
and with them alone rests. the ques-
ton whether it shall be good or evil.
In the degree that they are ready to
receive and use the advantages, in
just that degree does the club full
fill it's mission. The inverted bowls
will hold nothing of the good-fel-
lowship, the intellectual advance
ment, the broadening process of as
ISOLATION nor the inspiring privilege
of helping on the worlds work. The
bowl, held right side up with care"
will be running over and supply not
only needs of it's owner but will have
an abundance to spare for others.
