EARS

Our ears are all wrong.
They got up on the side of our
heads in the first place because
there wasn't room for them any
where else. And there they sit,
wide open all the time. The
worst of it is, they'll listen TO
anything. Insurance agents,
Sunday sermons, bum jokes, bill
collectors, wrangling cats or
peevish wives-it's all the same

CHINA'S BOXER
BILLS SOARING.

The world at large scarcely realizes
perhaps, what a revenge is wreaked
upon the Chinese people through the
staggering indemnities exacted in
punishment for the fanatical outburst
in 1901. Though originally the Box
err indemnity reached a total of only
$685., 100000, it has grown shrouga
deferred Interest payments to almost
twice that sum. Many millions of the
debt have been paid but the sum ow-
ing today is about $550.000.00O, which
is an exceedingly heavy burden for a
nation whose annual budget runs to
scarcely more than $2oo,4oo,ooO.
Although Germany took small part
in the relief of the Boxer-besieged 1e-,
cation at Pekin, her troops arriving
after everything was over except the
looting, her portion of the indemnity
was larger than that Of any other ma
ton except Russia, whose troops did
least in the restoration of order. Ger
manys share was $110, ,0B0. most
opportunity for China to be rid
promptly of one. of the dangerous
drains upon her financial vitals. De-
claratfon of war against Germany at
once strikes off debt Of at least
hundred odd millions. AS for the rest
of the Indemnity, is 1t a vain hope
that the reward of the allies for Chi
mas enlistment in their cause should
be complete remission of payment, or
at the very least an indefinite defer
ment as to both principal and inter
est?
The example of the United States in
Converting her share of the indemnity
into a fund for the-education OF young
Chinese in schools and colleges Of
America has been looked upon In late
years by the other powers with a re-
spect almost amounting to jealousy.
China counts upon this shrewd ex-
ample, doubtless, to bring equal, if
not greater, concessions from the ma
lions that now are her allies. And If
the chancelleries of Europe under
stand China-as they must pretty
well at this advanced stage of diplo-
matte experimenting upon her--they
understood that it is not the money
a1one that inks. China; that probably
the money is the very least Of the
burden. It is the ignominy undeser-
vedly inherited from old China that
stings the young Chinese. The Boxer
indemnity for them is loss or face
"a badge of servitude as bitter as the
shameful queue of the Tartars.

ITALIAN WRECKED
ON RECORD FLIGHT
IN GREAT SEAPI.ANE

New York, Nov. AFTER breaking
the American seaplane record. Lieu
tenant Adamti of the Italian Flying
Corps was forced to land near Gov
ernora Island last night. He made
the landing in safety, but there was
no launch to meet him, and in maneu-
vering in toward shore his big Ital-
ian machine struck on the rocks near
the west side OF the island. It was
SO badly damaged that Lieutenant
Adamti was unable to continue on to
Mineola, as he had intended.
Official figures on the flight were
not obtainable last night, but 1t was
said that the seaplane had covered the
$50 miles from Langley Field, New
port News, to Governors Island in two
hours and fifty minutes.
The Lieutenant tried for the flight
last week. but was unable to get away
on account OF engine trouble. EARLY
yesterday morning his engine was tun-
ed UP to the satisfaction of his me-
chanician and himself, !. and after sew
eral short preliminary flights he took
to the air, getting away about 1880
o'clock.
Lieutenant Adamti and his mechani-
clan followed practically the same
route as that taken by the big Ca
rroni biplane which made the trip
from Langley Field to Mineola on Oct.
%. carrying nine passengers.
Leaving the water the seaplane be-
gan circling about as it climbed stead
| lily upward. 1t reached an altitude Of
5000 feet. when the pilot straighten-
ed the plane out on her course for
New York. The coast line was fol-
lowed to a great extent, At times
the seaplane got UP to above 5000
feet. 1t was excessively cold-there
was a keen wind blowing in from the
sea. Their heads covered in fleece
lined capes their hands covered and
their heads buried in their coat col
lars, the two men did not suffer much
with the colds
| At Asbury Park the machine, which
was we'll over the sea, was crowded
rearer the coast line, and It continued
keeping inshore until point was
| reached where the Lieutenant could
| keep an ali-water rout and head
straight as thee row flies for the ex-
treme end of Manhattan. It was his
intention to cut over the edge of New
York City and then lay course to-
ward Jamaica. Bay. and from there
head in toward the United States avia-
/ ton camp near Garden City.
Instead of following this course the
Lieutenant decided to come to earth
at Governors Island. He made a
circle of the island and then descend
ed taking the water some distance of
shore and within sight of the field at
Governors Island.
It was said that while waiting for q
boat to come out to him the Lieuten-
ants seaplane, caught in the tide,
| drifted on the rocks and was dam
aged. Last night all information was
refused on Governors island. It was
4 said that all information regarding
flights must come from the Mineola
/ aviation station.
The unofficial report Is that the
seaplane was floundering about in the
water off the island when tug came
along and took the aviator and his
machine in tow. 1t was said that the
damage to the seaplane Ia slight, and
there was no injury to either the avia-
tor or his mechanician.
