Rivalry Among Cities Across
Continent for Designated
Place on Route of
Racers.

New York.--NOt only has the pictur-
esque history-making project of an
aerial race from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc seized the Imagination of the en-
tire country and attracted the interest
and Endorsement of United States SEN
ators and representatives and gov
errors of many states and started
rivalries among cities across the conti-
nent for designated place On the
route of the racers, but, as may be
imagined, the interest has become in

facturerS of aeroplanes and motors.

aeroplane competition for the Pulit-

of which is $4,000
To meet the special and public de-
mand for information as to how this
great national aerial derby is to be
conducted, the Aero Club of America
sets forth the project with its patriotic
and progressive objects and tentative
1y-for the officials are still holding
themselves open to suggestions from
avfators and firms entering their
brands of machines-have formulated
the rules and conditions of the CON
test.
Many Important Prizes.
1.-THE Aero Club of America" the
statement reads, "has offered a first
prize of $4,000 to be awarded the .avi-
ator winning the contest under the
conditions to be herewith described.
There will be about fifteen controls
Qanding stations) on the route, and
each city which is made control will
give prizes, making total Of from
100000 to $150000, from which fund
eight principal prizes and other spe-
cial prizes will be awarded-the first
eight as follows: First prize, $4,000;
second, $4,000; third, $4,000; fourth,
81 1900; fifth, $4,000; sixth, $500; sew
enth, $1,000; eighth, 81, 500"
Special prizes will be given for the
best time between controls and for
the best demonstration with radio,

partment and of Photographic films for
aeronautical maps of the first great
aerial highway.
The winner of the Pulitzer trophy
will, Of course, be the first aviator
who lands at the final control on the
Pacific coast. But when 1t comes to
the awarding the cash prizes certain
penalizations of time are to be con-
sidered for changes In the motor and
aeroplane parts of the machine dur
ing their transcontinental journey. A
set of these penalizations regarding
motor changes, repairs and alterations
has already been tentatively drawn up,
forming, as nearly as possible, con-
sensus of the suggestions of entrants
and aerOplane makers.
Many Landings.
Whatever the route chosen, the dis
lance between controls east of, say,
Kansas City. will not be more than
$50 miles. and In desert and mountain
Gus countries in the West the distance
between controls will be limited to be-

CAT RECOGNIZED A FRIEND
And Man Wants to Know How He Did
1t If 1t Was Not by Power
of Sight.

There be those" said a nature
faker, who say that domestic animals
do not recognize people they are asso-
ciated with by their sense of sight.
And maybe they are right am no ex-
pert faunalist-but | wish to state a
fact of which / am personally cogniz-
ant and which pertains to the subject
under discussion.
Yesterday morning after l had
breakfasted around the corner l ap-
preached the house where / lodge and
from some distance l observed our
large black cat, Bill, sitting on the
front steps before the closed door. 1t
was evident to me, and | am panied to
make the statement that Bill had been
out all night.
Several persons passed as he sat
there before | came within range of
his vision, but he gave no sign to them
what he was there for. He did not see
me until / was within forty feet of
him, SO intently was he studying those
nearer, but the instant he saw me he
came running to meet me, rubbing
against my legs and showing other in
dications Of his pleasure in meeting a
real friend in need. Then he dashed
ahead and was at the door when l got
to 1t.
"Once inside he had no further use
for me and scurried away toward the
kitchen. Cats have no power of scent,
| believe, so he didn't los me out OF

Bill know me except by sight?"

Lightning Rods,

The reason a lightning rod has a
sharp point Is because a fine point Of
fers no resistance to the discharge Of
electricity and in order that a cloud
may be emptied Of 1t noiselessly and
harmlessly. The degree Of resistance
Is In proportion to the surface of the
object. If the rod were surmounted
by q knob, for instance, the discharge
would be violent. But many a light
ming rod has received an electrical
discharge when the people in the
building below were calmly uncon-
scious of the fact. Noncorrosive metal
Is used for the point Of the rod, as
%corrosion make resistance. The diff
ference between a point and a ball is
shown In discharging a battery. The
full charge from a large battery would
be received quietly ON a metal point,
while a moderate charge from q small
one would explode violently in a ball.
1t is said that a full charge may be
passed harmlessly through a per
sons body II received on the point OF
q needle. whereas the same charge re-
ceiyed on a discharger with a ball or
knob on the end would mean instant
death.

MANY thanks for the parcel. The
mouth organs arrived when we were

and marched round the building. We
had all sorts Of instruments in the
band; the big drum was ar empty

trenching tool handle with a piece Of
sacking tied round the end; empty bis
cult tins were side drums; tin whis-
ties, squeakers and combs and paper

Candles and electric lamps gave
the illumination, and it was really
very funny to see this band of about
thirty marching round the building.

dropped a little parcel to the ground,
herself, too, and then drew Neal to
her side. She caught his hands and
held them and faced him, her bright
eyes looking down into the yearning,

Neal Morse dropped his head to her
shoulder and burst into a new food OF
tears. She put her arms around his
neck. She kissed him on both cheeks
She told him he must go before his
escape from the schoolhouse was dig
covered, and he left her, looking back

that he would never forget. But al
