this way 1t was learned that the church had been built over a part of the cemetery and was believed tc cover what was believed to be the Lincoln grave.
 Several blanks were removed from the floor and the ground beneath the opening examined, This survey failed to disclose any tangible proof of the existence of the grave. This does not disprove the assertions Of the older residents, Dr. Barton said, be- cause only a small part of the ground could be examined and any tomb stone or marker placed over the grave may have fallen away
 The fact that the pioneer at one time owned land in Jefferson county definitely has been determined through records in the office of the county clerk The Lincoln farm, &C., cording to the records, consisted of 467 acres and embraced what is now the farm of John Calhoun Bryant. After the death of Lincoln, the rec ords show, one of his sons, Morde- cal Lincoln, sold the land to Ben jamin Bridges. The graves of Bridges and his wife are in the Long Run church graveyard.
 The elder Lincoln, one morning in 1774, 1t is said, started from his home in company with his three sons, Mordecai. Josiah and Thomas. An Indian shot the elder Lincoln from ambush. Mordecai ran back for his rife, Josiah hastened to Hugh's Sta ton, a fort not far distant from the scene of the ambush, and Thomas, the father of the former president, stayed at his fathers side while as- sistance was being summoned
 Mordecai Is said to have reached his fathers side with his rifle in time to slay the Indian.
 Dr. Barton, as pastor of the Con- gregational church at Oak Park, has initiated movement for the raising of funds among admirers of President Lincoln for the erection of fitting tombstone at the grave of the Rev. Jesse Head, who, on June 12. 1905, performed the marriage ceremony for Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks parents of the president. The mar riage took place in Washington coun- :y, Ky. Dr. Barton said the grave had been located definitely in Har- rodsburg, Ky.

Washington July 21.-The heicop- tor, or vertical-rising air machine. is not an impossibility, and should a real use for such type arise success full one may be seen before many years, according to Dr. Albert F. zahm, aeronautical expert for the Navy. Had there been a need for the helicopter during the war, he said, any of several types could have been perfected. of which working models have been flown.
 pr. Zahm Is an expert on design and construction of all manner of fly | ing machines. For years he has ap- piled his time to perfection of the air plane, and Is we'll qualified to pass upon the capabilities of any
 Much interest has ben shown of late in reports of successful machines of the helicopter type being perfected, in both Germany and England How ever. while some flights have been made, none of any consequence are reported by a machine equipped with horizontal propellers or revolving planes, designed to rise vertically from confined space and descend on the same
 That the helicopter Is possible, Dr. Zahm said, Is proved by the German machine. which, rising several times to moderate heights, has carried ob- servers. remained almost stationary while in air, and descended in safety The machine, however, has made no extended flight, such as would prove its dependabilty but was tethered to the ground by mooring rope. At times, when the motors failed, the machine dropped and the passengers saved themselves only by leaping with parachutes.
 Experiments Go On
 The experiments are continuing, however, with the purpose of perfect ing a motor which can be depended upon to maintain the machine without sudden failure, the scientist explain ed. for, as soon as the engine stops, the machine cannot glide to the ground as does an airplane, but drops vertically. In proper descent the pro- pellors should be whirled slowly to ease the landing
 Present hopes of attaining verti- cal flight rest mainly upon the en- deavors of Emil Berliner, Washing ton inventor.
