BUILDS GIANT PLANE
Caproni's Latest Machine win
Carry 100 Passengers.
seaptane 10 Now Almost Ready Ii
Italy for Its Trial
Flights.

New YOrk.-An enormous seaplane
to carry 100 persons is the latest
project of Gianni Caproni, famed Ital.
ian constructor, now in this city.
All except the finishing touches
have been put to the machine, and
when Caproni returns to his native
land in about six weeks he expects
to find the plane completed and ready
for its experimental fights. These
will be made on Lake Maggiore, near
Milan, where the airship is being
built. N
In this venture the italian inventor
has been forced to summon American
genius to his aid. For the seaplane
will be driven by eight Liberty en-
gines, developing a total of nearly
5000 horse power.
''This will greatly increase the co-ef-
fcient of safety" Caproni said to me,
for it will be possible for the plane
to fly with only five of the engines go
ing"
Comfortable seats will be provided
for passengers in this gigantic flying
machine, which, if the plans Of its
designers are successful, should be
able to cross the Atlantic with ease.

VIA CRUCES RITE is REVIVED
mony Of the Cross in the
G * d.. .-. Coliseum.

Rome, Italy. After AN interval oil
fifty years, the Coliseum again has
been the scene Of the picturesque cere~
mony Of the Via Crucis. Pope. Bene-
diet XIV, who reigned from 1740 to-
1858, instituted the ceremony by plae-
ing q cross in the center Of the arena
where martyrs had given their lives
for the faith, and erecting fourteen
stations Of the cross. Each Friday
the ancient amphitheater witnessed
the. solemn rite. The practice was
abandoned in 1870, when Rome be-
came the capital of united Italy. s
The celebrants have once more Wis
ited the Coliseum, however, and ar
rayed in their strange gray garments,
which include a cowl covering the
head and face, have revived the cere.
mony of old time. Princess Barberini
led o column of women, and among
the men taking part in the rite We're
many from patrician families.

WHO STOLE DlNOSAURUS?
Theft of Giant Skeleton From Patago-
MIA Frets Buenos Aires Off,
cial,

Guenos Aires.-Who stole the great
Patagonian dinosaurs?
This is a question the newspapers
are asking, and it is also question
with which DR.. Carlos Ameghino, di-
rector of the Buenos Aires Museum of
Natural History, would like to have
answered.
The dinosaurs, or rather it's skele-
ton, was not stolen from the museum,
it should be explained, but from the
soil of Patagonia, near Neuquen,
where, in a remarkable state of pres
ervation, it was discovered by some
English engineers a year ago during
the excavation of an irrigation ditch.
They notified Arthur Smith Wood
ward, naturalist of the British mu-
scum, of the find, who, in turn, COM
municated with DR.. Ameghino.
From the description Of the engi-
neers it appeared the dinosaurs was
a monster, even for dinosauri, and of
new species.

Egyptian Authorities Int rfere When

Battle. 49,, .. "

Cairo.-An assize case has ended
which is one Of the most remarkable
held in Egypt for years. 1t originated
in a vendetta, not between families
but between two whole villags, Hami-
dat and Ashraf, near Keneh, Upper
Egypt, northeast Of the ruins OF
Thebes.
One hundred and fifty years ago
a dog 6rom the village of Hamidat
bit an Ashraf man, who died. A
quarrel followed between his relatives
and the owner Of the Hamldat dog,
which developed till all the inhabl-
tants of Ashraf considered that all
persons of Hamidat blood were guilty
of the death. The hatred Of one VII
lage for the other became hereditary,
tween them whenever the conditions
Of the country favored disorder.
Last spring Ashraf attacked Ham,
idat in force. A score of Hamida-
tians were killed, 120 houses were
burned and harvests were carried
off.
Hamidat remembered the dog and
bit back, killing 16 of the assailants.
These slayers have just been tried
