A Miracle of the Air.

By a succession of engineering and
manufacturing miracles, American
engine experts, working night and
day, have perfected in three months
an engine of enormous power, excep-
tional flexibility and remarkable reli-
ability.
"The Greatest Engine in the
World" experts who know the best
products of the French, English, Ital-
ian and German airplane factories
call il. And this judgment has been
completely established by tests far
more severe than those of any other
nation, conducted by the United States
bun eau of standards.
One hundred and forty miles an
hour-two and one-third miles a min
ute-is the speed with which this
eight-cylinder engine will drive an
American battle-plane through the
air. This is equal almost to the best
speed foreign builders have attained
with their scout planes, in which ev-
erything is sacrificed for speed. The
American battle-planes, heavily armed
and carrying two men, will be able to
overtake and destroy the fastest of
the German scouts.
About two pounds to the horse
power-930 horsepower from an en-
CINE weighing $50 pounds-is the
secret of the marvellous speed this
engine is able TO impart to an air
plane. Think of it
Fifty hours run under load is the
fi1al ordeal to which the engine was
submitted to test its endurance to the
limit. The original schedule permit
ted minor adjustments at the end of
each five hours; but in the actual test
the engine was running so smoothly
at the end of the first five-hour period
that it was not touched until 10 hours
had elapsed. In ten hours fleet of
American battle-planes driven by
these motors could make the run
from London to Berlin and return,
pausing on their way TO do lliustice
to the Krupp works in Essex.-Ex.

fairy TALE
SPORT FISH.
81 kAN @AHAlH BONNER


II have story 20 tell you this
evening Of fish which wasn't a fish
at ALL" said Daddy.
"Goodnessi" said Nancy. Il don't
understand at all. I must be awfully
stupid"
II guess it's a fish story" laughed
Nick, and Nancy Joined in saying as
she smiled,
"Of course,, I might have known
that Daddy had good joke for us.
I suppose the hot weather made me
SLOW"
"It's really not a fish story at all
that is" Daddy explained, ''it's not
a fish story of the kind that Nick
means. Nick thinks Of course have
a lovely tale to tell of fish who
grew and grew and when he was
caught II took sixteen men to pull
him out of the water. Then, when
they got him out, they found 1t
wasn't fish but whalei Is that

Nancy She said she didn't under

now 1 guess I'd better say I don't

Let's both say so at once" said
Nancy, "and then Daddy will tell u.s."
"All right" agreed Nick. "Now, al

And both the children said, "We
don't understand about the fish at
ALL"
Neither did l." commenced Daddy,
until saw one and rode on one and
heard that everyone Of these peculiar
creatures was called sport fish,"
"Oh, there were more than one"
said Nancy. But Nick put his finger
on his mouth to show Nancy that they
wanted to hear Daddy.
"You know that yesterday I went
with some men down to a beach for a
swimr"
"Yes," said the children. They
thought to themselves that 1t was
not going to be so strange after all.
The fish lived in the water. That was
quite natural.
"And there l saw" continued Dad
dy, "some great things which were
made to look like big fish. They were
made Of rubber, / was told, and
pumped up like automobile tires, and
then they were covered with canvas.
"Their eyes were painted on the
canvas, so were their fms and their
tails. They looked like very funny
fishes but still they did look quite
right. And people were riding on top
of them In the water"
"Oh," exclaimed the children. "How
wonderful"
"Yes," Daddy went on, "they were
on these fishes-the people were-and
what games they did have with the
breakers. The fishes would rush into
the shore when a great wave would
come and the people would have
most glorious ride. And children rode
them. too. They're not In the least

POWER OF GASOLINE.

The power of gasoline is generally
rated by the distance it will prOpel
an automobile. But the same energy,
if directed to other and more varied
purpose, will milk 800 cows, bale
four tons of hay, mix 35 cubic yards
of cement, pillow three-ifths of an
acre of ground, or it will generate
enough electricity to light large
farmhouse for so hours.

FAMOUS HUT OF
KAHANA' CASE IS
UP FOR HEARING
Mary E. Foster Seeks Title to
5000 Acres OF Land on
This Island

Hearing was begun in Circuit Judge
WhitneyS court today Of the petition
OF Mary F. FoSt~r for registration Of
title to the famous kahana lands.
Windward Oahu. comprising approx
mately $3.50 acres and valued at about
SG9c."'". The lands include the vii
LACE Of kahana and its valuable fish
cries and the mountains hack Of it.
which have several valuable streams.
The opening of the case recalls the
ancient Hui kaai kahana. better
known as the Hui of kahanu." This
hui. or uninCOIpOrated company or
Partnership, was formed in 1881 and
consisted OF llJ Hawaiian men and
women. Since the formation OF the
hui, attorneys say. Mrs. Foster has
been buying from time to time the
shares Of members Of the company.
until ner acquisitions now have reach
ed a stage where she seeks to register
her title to the vast lands. Each share
is reported to now have a value OF
about $4,000.
Ii has been brought out, however,
that certain members of the hui sold
their shares by deeds which were, in
many cases, signed by 80 or - Of the
members of the hui, but not by all
the members. An important question
which attorneys hold the court must
decide is whether these shares were
bought only by those members of the
hui who signed the deeds, or by the
hui as a whole. 1t is understood Mrs
Foster intends to purchase those
claims that are proved. The claims
will be heard separately.
In order 10 dispose of the case be
fore his contemplated retirement
from the bench on February IL, Judge
Whitney may find it necessary TO hold
night sessions for the reason that near
ly 200 answers to the petition have
been filed.
