The Human Albarross
BY H. H. Windsor, in the July Pop-las
Mechanics Magazine

The two world events of the past month
by the allies and the effort at transatlant-
ic flight. While the signing Of peace
terms on right basis is of far greater
moment, the flight, by reason of its I'M
known as well as contemplated dangers,
has stirred the red blood of nations the
world around. This, too, was accentuat-
ed by reason of the rivalry between our
own three fliers and the competition
between two nations.
Our own effort can be said to have been
made Under very fair conditions of sue
cess, with picked men from our Navy,
after an initial oversee try-out of / 1000
miles, and the perfectly worked out as
sistance of destroyers spaced every so
miles along the proposed route. That all
three of our planes succeeded in making
the long stretch between this continent
ard the Azores, the longest oversee flight
ever accomplished, is highly gratifying.
If the "NC-4" lands in Portugal, as at
this writing seems probable, the ice may
fairly be said to have been broken and the
trail b.azed. The full details of the log
of the INCA" will write the first chapter
in the history of great accomplishment.
| When The first trial of the steam loco
motive. he steamboat, the submarine
cable, the telephone, and wireless were
/ made, the public of their day, including
many learned men, united in an expecta-
| ton of failure. While the dangers and
obstacles of the ocean flight were realized
| and considered, there was general hope
funess that the effort would succeed, for
we had several years history of sustained
fights overland, while in the other ex-
perments named they were the initial
efforts.
When the log is completed, l fancy
ocean flight will reveal more and greater
difficulties than the average layman an
.icipated and about what the best minds
in aviation expected Experts of course,
hoped that the trial would show the flight
not to include as many contingencies as
/ feared. 1t may fairly be SAID the difficult
ties while of course not insurmountable,
are sufficient, and sufficiently established,
| to demonstrate that regular passenger
service is still long way ahead The
weaknesses may be worked out in two or
! three years, which would be an amazingly
short time, but the proba bilities would
not seem to warrant any immediate hope
of regular service. Only those who have
crossed the ocean can grasp the magni-
/ tude of the mechanical requirements.
i The final ocean plane will probably show
as marked difference from the best
planes OF today as ali ocean steamship
differs from river steamboat of the best
Glass; The trans atlantic plane will sure
come to pass but the builders realize a
lot of hard work lies between that day
and this.
For the present, then, let us all rejoice
IN that permissible and modest pride
which Commander Towers and his brave
associates have so grandIy won for us.

GAS PRODUCER
. At DOWNS TO Be
MOVED TO DAVIS
Hope Natural Gas Company
Making Preparations to
Move Plant.
ACTION is A SURPRISE
Will Build Huge Producer
Gas Plant in Barbour
County.

That the gas producer plant of the
Hope Natural Gas company situated
at Downs. and on which hundreds OF
thousands of dollars have been ex.
pended, is to be moved to Davis, West
Virginia. near which city the Hope
company owns thousands of acres OF
coal, is the statement of men employ.
ed at the Downs plant. Work on the
dismantling Of the plant is now in
progress.
1t has been understood that only
recently was the producer plant al
Downs placed on basis of profitable
operation and news of its being NOV.
ed is In the nature Of surprise.
A coal mine which the Hope COM
pany opened at Downs and from
which 1t had been expected to secure
coal for the operation of the plant
turned out coal which was found un.
suitable for the needs of the produc-
er, and It has been necessary to se-
cure coal from the mine of the Con:
SpmeFs' Faei company at Downs.
The Hope company owns a huge
tract of coal in Barbour county, and
possibly some in Tucker county, and
1t is assumed that the moving of the
producer plant to Davis is that it may
be near the source of the Hopes coal
supply.
II is likely that with the transfer OF
the Downs plant to Davis, other units
will be built, which will provide the
company with very large quantity
of producer gas.

SEVENTY-ONE DEAD
HAVE BEEN
RECOVERED So FAR
Explosion Greatest But One
in Luzerne County
Field.

WILKESBARRE, June Seventy
one men lost their lives in the Balti-
more No. 2 tunnel of the Delaware &
Hudson Coal Company explosion and
ftre today and thirty one were in,
tured according toa list given out by
the company. officials at,noon today
Forty one bodies have been identi-
fled and 6remain unidentified the
company's list is not complete and 1t
is certain that the number of injured
will reach about forty.
The disaster is with one exception
the greatest that has ever occurred in
this vicinity.
More than 100 mine workers were
riding TO their work crowded into
what is known as trip of mine
cars drawn by a motor. The rear
car carried 12 kegs of black powder
used for blasting loose the coal in the
chambers. The mine is modern and
equipped electrically. The trolley wire
snapped when the train hae gone
about 200 feet from the entrance
The wire sputtered and sizzled and
the sparks 1t emitted touched off
the powder. The terrified men on
the cars instantly were aware of the
danger that confronted them but
they stood powerless to avert It.
There was roar and in an instant
every man and boy on the train was
either dead or dying. Terribly mang-
led bodies were found everywhere by
the rescue crews which went into
the mine. Fire fighters succeeded in
an incrediably short time in subdue.
ing the flames which followed the
blast.
Then came the sruesome work of
taking out dead and injured. Those
who had not already succombed were
so badly burned that in nearly every
case death is a matter of only short
time.
Carelessness and violation of mine
laws of the state caused the great
loss of life One of the most drastic
provisions of the Anthracite mine
code is the section forbidding the
transportation of men on a car or
train which carries explosives. Yet
the train OF little cars conveying load
OF miners had attached to its rear a
car of a dozen kegs of powder. In
vestigation will disclose whether the
men or the company is responsible
for the violation of the law.
Some of the first bodies from the
tunnel were burning when they
reached the surface. Clothes had
been burned away and the flesh was
roasting from the intense heat. Water
was poured on these to put out the
fire. 1t was such sights as this that
made brave hearts turn sick.
At 1890 o'clock the company of
ficials announced that II men were
dead and that 35 were at the hospi-
tai.
1t was stated that the death list
will increase.
Company employees state that there
is a pull" Of $4,000 cubic feet OF
air per minute in the tunnel and the
tunnel pulled in the flames directly
over the men. Alongside the tunnel
there is a creek and after the flash
OF the flames some men who were
walking along the side of the cars
dropped into the water and saved
their lives.
Several employees state that it
was not the force of the explosion
