Janin read all about the discoveries
and experiments OF the Wrights.
He also read all about the discov-
cries and inventions OF the French
men and Germans Then came the
great success OF the Wright broth
el:s before .Janin was ready to
make his flight.
NEIGHBORS CALI. TO
ScOISE' AT INVENTOR.
AS Wright won success after sue
cess. the neighbors called to- scott
at Janin, who was only able to
glide out over the bay for a short
distance and wait for a boat to tow
him home. But Janin was proce ed
ing with safety. While an aero
plane has to rise high enough to
get above the trees and has to sweep
over deep valleys and gulleys and
always is running in danger OF
coming against a barb wire fence.
Janin could skim over the water
like d gull, and IL his engine Went
dead. he could drop to the waves
easily. -
His plan was not unlike the
Wright plan. The machine. Was
equipped with wings like an aero
plane. An automobile engine was
used to propel the machine
through the air at q high rate or
speed. Two poi,toons were so placed
under the machine that it would
float on the water. The machine
was SO equipped that it could make
hea dwav while floating; on the pom
toons or 1t could leave the water
and soar through the air.

When the income tax collector
comes around next time there will
be q. new name on the income tax
rolls. The name is Albert s. Janin.
inventor OF the hydroaerop1ane.
Perhaps you thought Glenn IT. Cur
tiss was the inventor OF the hydro
aeroplane, but the men down in the
patent Office say you are wrong. A
few weeks ago they handed down
a. decision at the patent Office OF
Washington saying the first model
for a hydroaeroplane was made by
Janin, and IL any other makers OF
the machines wanted to construct
them they would have to pay roy
atty on each machine to Janin.
These royalties will not begin
from some future date after higher
courts have deIiberated long over
the case, but all persons who have
built flying machines using Janirl's
method will have TO pay royalties
on all machines they ever have
made.
That means a big sum OF money
was due Janin the day the decision
was handed down, and the chief

childhood on the seashore, Janin
did not care SO much about flying
on land. He wanted to sail over
the water. ETC waited to look
down on the ships and suils and
that is one reason he specialized
on the water flying machine. There
was still another reason. Janin
had no long. sandy beach 10 fly

to hustle for his wife and family

]. G. NAVAL YACHT
lNTERNED BY TURKS 4

Eleanor Franklin Egan. in the Saturday
Evening Post.
The American naval yacht Scorpion, at
Constantinople. is to all intents and pur-
poses an interned naval craft. She was
ordered in from the Bosporus not long
ago and tied up in a berth In the Golden
Horn just wide enough to hold her. and
there she lies under the never-sleepins
eagle eye.
A Turkish revenue cutter lies alongside
so close that a whisper can be heard from
deck to deck: and night and day a urkish
official sits there scanning the Scorpion
from stem to stern and watching the COM
inss and goings of every soul who ap-
proaches her.
The Scorpion is under grave suspicion.
She is accused Of all the unneutral crimes
on the calendar. She has been supplying
the British submarines with gas and food
supplies and inforrnatlon; she has been
in~tercept!ng wireless messages in some
miraculous way-her wireless apparatus
being swathed in cotton wool and sealed
up so tight that an air current could not
get near it; she has been just so bad that
she ought to be sunk with all hands
aboard: and the officials are very lenient
who do nothing to her but tie her up
where her officers and men have to gasp
for breath in the midst of 100 ships, little.
big, packed in SO close that the tWa
from a rowboat causes their hulls to
knock together.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
In the blood by Scheele, in 1875, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood Of
this poison. Because of it's over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent. called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
