complete will be about 10000 pounds. Besides the weight il will lift about five tons of fuel, passengers and useful loads.
 This means that it could carry easily four men and supplies and the fuel necessary for crossing the Atlantic-which it could do in about thirty hours. But at the date of writing, although the drawings were first made for a sportsman, it seems certain that this machine Is to be used for war. It is a secret now-but will undoubtedly no longer be by the time this appears in print-that the British admiralty has order ed twenty flying cruisers of this type.
 This means that before another year has gone by there will be a flying yacht twice as large as this one constructed. Glenn H. Curtiss, who has always started on improvements as soon as q type was under construction. be- lieves that there is no limit to the size of an aeroplane, and, given the opportunity, he will start building a small air liner with a wing span of 300 feet, capable of carrying twenty peo- pie across the Atlantic, or fifty people on a 1000 mile course"

ALASKA NOTES

The first application for d water right under the law of 1901 received at the Juneau land once was that of the Seacoast MiliHlg company of Valdez, which re gently filed its application. The company applies for water rights on Uno creek at Shoup bay. The act of 1901 provides that power sites may be issued by the land office, giving the grantee rights for fifty years, subject to the di- rect supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, and revokable at any time at his discretion.

The lighthouse keeper at Lin coin Rock, Southeastern Alaska, reports that an unknown halibut fishing schooner foundered near that place on February B. He .lad watched the schooner for nearly an hour and after return ing from his dinner noticed that she had vanished, although 1t would have taken her at least thirty minutes to get out of sight in any direction A very heavy sea was running at the time and he fears that the schooner went down with her crew. She was a gas boat apparently from 45 to $ feet long with her cabin very nearly amidships with square windows and carried her dories
 Gdrward. The fishing schooner New England passing through Snow Pass a few hours later re ported seeing some floating fish buoys but believing that some party had put the gear out for a catch thought nothing of it until the loss of the schooner was re ported by the lighthouse keeper.

An account of the fifteen ton Curtiss air cruiser, of which the government has ordered twenty, IS gwen by MT. Henry " ood- house, governor of the Aero Club of America, and director of the American Society of Aeronauti- cal Engineers, who has just re turned from an inspection of the ar cruiser.
 MT. w oodhouse gives the fol lowing account of the cruiser:
 The idea of a 15 ton air cruis- CT was evolved principally to supply flying yacht to promi- nent sportsman, who later be- came interested in another phase of aeronautics and postponed or dering the flying yacht. But MT. Curtiss, having made the design, proceeded with the construction. Upon learning, recently, that the British admiralty had placed an order for a substantial number of machines of this type, l went to Buffalo to see what was happen ing, and l saw the new flying yacht-but not in Buffalo. The censor, who would probably not approve any part of this report, would scowl at seeing in print the name of the place where l saw the flying yacht, and to please him l shall not tell.
 The size of this new flying yacht was most impressing and once more the wonder of the con quest of the air by man made me marvel. Ten years ago-only very few of us-marvelled at the thought of the possibility of fly ing with an heavier than air ma chine. The majority of people laughed at our belief and called us "dreamers. ; Then the Wrights, Santos-Dumont, and other pioneers, made their first flights, and the world stood in wonderment, marvelling at the achievement of what had been pronounced as impossible by all including scientists.
 After that, one achievement succeeded the other, and particu- larly after 1912, when the nations began to spend millions in de- veloping aeronautics, aviation de veloped in rapid strides
 Marine flying only started in 1911, when Glen H. Curtiss made the first flights ever made with a hydroaeroplane. A year later Curtiss developed the first flying boat, and in 1914 he devised the large flying boat America" which was ordered by Rodman Wanamaker for the transatlan- tic fight-which could not be made on account of the war.
 These things came to my mind as l looked at the twenty passen- ger yacht being completed in a factory near Buffalo, about which nothing has been publish ed at date of writing, the matter being kept secret.
 This giant flying yacht with out wings looks not unlike a whale with windows and extend ing fins on the fore part of the body. The body without the rear rudders is $ feet long. Al the widest point the hull is 10 feet wide. On each side of the body there are 6n-like planes extending out five feet, and about IS let long, which will, when the machine is driven at a certain speed, make it possible to rise freely from the waves.
 l went inside of the hull and stood in each of the three com partments, or cabins. The main cabin is Io feet long, 8 feet wide and 7 feet from floor to ceiling. In the pilot house there we're six men working. Over the boat body is a cabin fitted with win dows, forming an enclosed pilot house. There is false keel with bilge pumps and three water tight compartments at the stern

That the threatened strike on the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburgh
may be averted is the desire not only
of the railroad company and of the
public, but of many of the individuals
who will conduct il if their leaders so
determine. That expression is used
advisedy. because it is impossible to
believe that a poll Of the employees
in which each voter was governed
wholly and solely by his own honest
desire would result in an attempt at
this time of peculiar need to tie up
the lines
But If had cOUnsels and unreason-
ing discontents prevail, II the en-
ployers' endeavor to effect a fair
settlement fails. It is reassuring to
know that. as General Manager Long
announces. the response to his call
for volunteers is such as to enable
him to state that a reserve army Of
