Sixty Thousand People Expected at

Eldorado, Kan. Oct. 11-With the
premium list completed, a tentative
program arranged, more than half of
the twenty-nine townships organized
and an accomplishing enthusiasm
prevailing throughout the county,
Butler ccuHty's Fourth Annual Kafir
Corn carnival, to be held in Colorado,

success far SURPRISING all former ex-
positions. Fully $4,000 people will at

The carnival is unique. 1t is differ

ever staged. 1t is the only kafir corn
carnival in the country and until kafir
becomes a more general product, But
Ter county alone is able to produce
such a show. Its idea is educational.
The township displays, centralized,
organized, attractive, will be as valu-
able to the farmer see king first hand

H. S. WON THIRD.
Topeka Defeated Manhattan at
Aggie Field, 2 to 6.
Grim and Bloody Battle COPIED
by Good Pass.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. lin the
most thrilling high school football
game of the season Topeka defeated
Manhattan at the Aggie field here Sat
urday by a score of to 6. By plow-
ing through the capital city line at
frequent intervals Manhattan had the
advantage during the first three
quarters. Tive place kicks from the
20-yard line, one by Skinner in the
second quarter and one by Jolley in
the third netted Manhattan their six
points in the game. Topeka's touch
down came as fitting climax for
such a hard fought gridiron battle.
Manhattan'S backfield Rad little diff
ficulty in making GOOD gains up to
the 20 yard line. And then Topeka
always held. Not once did local
player cross the line. Skinner, Curry
and Blanchard bucked the Topeka line
hard throughout the game Lynn
played clever tackling game at end.
Jolley'S ability tC catch passes and
run with the ball in the last few min

hard earned victory.

line bucks failed and they were
pushed back. Another place kick

period of the game the kicker missed
the posts. In few seconds the whis

scrap.

The Airman's Instruments.

THE barograph, that instrument for
measuring attitudes which is to
the airman what the compass is to the
mariner, is kept in a weather-proof
box with glass front and is attached
to the bar of the aeroplane. The Lress-
ure of the air, as the machine takes
its flight through the air It varying
heights, causes a delicate needle to
trace wavy line upon a cylinder that
revolves by clockwork. This line in
dicates not only the exact height
reached by the aviator, but also the
speed at which he is travelling.
1t is necessary for the man in the
aeroplane constantly to watch the
barograph, much in the way that the
man at the wheel of ship watches
his compass. Should the aeroplane rise
or fall ten or twenty feet, the aviator
would not be conscious of it unless he
consulted the wavering needle tracing
its permanent record on a charts be-
fore him. 1t tells him Immediately of
changes in the air currents and gives
him timely warning of dangers
Until five or six years ago the height
to which the air craft rose was calcu-
lated by means of triangulation. The
base Of a triangle was measured off on
the surface Of the earth and its exact
w
the airship rose until it was a mere
spech in the air it was necessary for
an experienced man with a theodolite
to take an observation in order 20 de-
termine the degree of inclination of
tie other two sides of the triangle Ii
is a law of trigonometry that If the
length of the base line of a triangle
has been accurately determined, it is
possible. by means of that science, to
calculate the length of the other two
sides of the triangle. This is easy
enough in measuring the distance
across stream or anywhere else on
tn earth's surface, but far more diff
cult when the triangle is 'up in the
air." Also. the object being constantly
in motion, this fact adds to the COM
plexity of the problem.
AS a result of all this, before the in
vention of the machines for the avia-
tors measurement and registration of
altitude, it was possible to CHECK up
the claims of airmen only in an un-
certain degree. The aviator might claim
his larometric reading was so many
thousand feet The observer on .ne
earth might make 1t 500 feet more or
5UJ feet less. according to his calcula-
tions. and neither man, would be will
ing to take the others figures. There
fore the airmen welcomed the advent
of the instrument that set all thece
doubts at rest
Since the aviator in fight has his hands
fully occupied in the management of his
CrdIt, IL IL lfnpOSSlDle Tor MIN to carry
any scientific instruments that are not
automatic and self-registering in their
action. Already these logs of the air
are being kept in detail
1t is said that there are in all the
world only two makers of barographs-
one Frenchman, the other a German.
Paragraphs are SO delicate and accurate,
it is claimed, that a man might hang one
of them about his neck in its glass case,

sensitive. 1t might seem that Whistler
has said the last word in his Venetian

nection with Venice the last word ar
tistically will ever be said. Certainly
Mr. Roth's prescriptions are welcome
additions to the registry of artistic I'M
pressions of this most artistic place
! VIII j. Quinlan is another capable
etcher with a message quite his own.
He was trained as an architect and has
principally given his attention to the
rendering of architectural themes in
New York, his home city. Like Joseph
Pennell he has found beauty in the
gigantic activities of the great metrop-
oils and these he has interpreted with
truth and excellent feeling.
Franklin r. Wood of Boston also
| makes a good showing in this exhlbl-
tion, being represented by no less than
tinct artistic quality and notably fine
tone.
Sears Gallagher of the same city eX-
hibits an equal number of pleasing ex-
amples, one of which, a street in st.
Ives straightway found a purchaser.

to draw and etch because some one said

went to Panama and made striking

interested him. In Greece and Panama
he found the same elements of beauty

the moderns, but he finds old methods
of transcription and expression ade-

series of London drawings what admir-

drawings give added weight to his tes-

great railroad yards and are full of the
suggestion of ceaseless activity. There
is something inspiring in such well or
ganized work, and both it's poetry and
fascination have found their way in
Mr.. Oakley's transcriptions.
Mr.. Oakley is the secretary of the
Philadelphia Water Color Club and has
made an enviable place for himself in
the field of illustration. He does not re-
strict himself to black and white and

practical value. Were the observer
lost and without compass, he could
also very easily tell the direction of

How to make use of our knowledge

those who study the stars know how
easy a matter it is to determine the

To do this it is first necessary to
know what is called the right ascen-
sion of a few of the southern stars of
the Celestial Sphere. This so-called
right ascension of star is measured
on the surface of the Celestial Sphere
in almost exactly the same way as the
longitude of a place is measured on
the surface of the earth. 1t may be
found for a selected number of the
brighter stars from almost any astron-
omy, or from the American Nautical
Almanac, or it may b. measured from
any star atlas. For example, the right
