SETS new.
AIR RECORD

Only a few hours after civilian
filters at New York had set new
endurance record for airplanes, a
local naval officer established what
will probably constitute a new
worlds record for seaplane altitude
flight.
Witnessed by few high naval Of
ficers and other filters, Lieut.. George
r. Henderson, chief test pilot of the
Navy, yesterday took off from Ana.
costa Field and attained a height
OF $4,000 feet-approximately four
and a half miles-in the newly
adopted Chance.Vought corsair type
seaplane.
This record is expected to be Of.
ficially verified after experts Of the
Bureau of Standards have carefully
examined the recording instruments
OF Lieutenant Henderson's plane,
which carried a load of 1,102 pounds.
The record flight was made with
out any announcement being made
to the public. Lieutenant Henderson
took off at S:25 p. M, and landed
at 4:45. His instruments recorded
the 22,200 feet mark after they had
been checked by experts.
At the extreme altitude, Lieuten-
ant Henderson reported upon land.
ing, he found a temperature Of 8
degrees below zero. and at the
15,000-foot height he was compelled
to don an oxygen mask because Of
the rare atmosphere.
The previous altitude record for
seaplanes was held by an Italian
flier--A. Passaleva, who at Sesbo

ANCIENT VILLAGE IN ENGLAND
Interesting Archaeological Discovery
Recently Made In The County
Of Surrey.

Remains Of an ancient village, the
first portion of which whs discovered
in 1904 when sewage beds we're made,
have been found recently during sew
age development work at Wisely, Sur
rey. The date Of the village IL copsid-
cred to be from so B. @. to A. D. 30.
investigations have been very di@-
cult beca1se most of the site Of the VII
lage was dug away In 1904 On the
present occasion a few hut dwellings
had been found These consisted Of
Circular pits, SIX to seven feet across
and couple Of feet deep. They were
filled up With sand, but were quite dis
tinct when seen in section.
They contained minute fragments Of
broken pottery. Unfortunately, the
nature Of the sandy s6Ii was such that
aii bone, metal and all wooden inple
ments had been destroyed, Pottery Was
the only thing that could be found,
and It was only in two places that the
pieces Of pottery were large enough to
be Of any archaeological value.
Years ago, at the foot Of the village,
a "dugout" canoe, evidently belonging
to the village, was discovered. That is
now In weybridge museum. Flint i'm
plements were also found at that time.

HAD MANY TRIALS IN LIFE
Path Of the Inventor Of the Sewing
Machine by No Means a
Bed Of Roses.

Elias Howe, the inventor Of the sew
ing machine, was born in Spencer,
Mass, July 9. 1919, and died In Brook
i'm, n. Y, October 8. 1857. He Lived
with his father, who was both farmer
and miller, TIL 1885, working upon
the farm and In the mill and attend
ing the district school during the
winters. He then learned the trade
Of machinlst, and experimental In in
venting sewing machine. The model
was completed and the patent issued
September 10, 1s48 A patent was
also taken oft In England, but from
this the inventor realized nothing.
After constructing four machines In
the United States he visited England
in 1s47, remaining two years. He re-
turned to Boston entirely destitute.
and resumed his trade for the support
Of his family. From this period until
1854 he was involved In expensive
law suits, when the principal infring-
ers of his patents acknowledged his
rights, and arranged 70 Manufacture
sewing machines under licenses from
him. After this he made large for
tune from his invention. BE served
as a private In the SeTepteepth Con
necticdt volunteers during the ciy1
war. He was the recipient Of the I E
gi6n Of Honor cross and many medals.

THEIR CHIEF DESIRE IS NOISE
Queer Musical" instruments That Are
In Use Among the Savage Tribes
In Africa.

When visitors Of prominence tour
Africa they are greeted by the most
amazing efforts on the part of native
band. One Of the favorite instruments
is a huge zylophone, many yards in
length, upon which a score of blacks
whack and bang to their hearts con-
tent Those at one end pound small
pieces of wood, which give out high
notes, while pieces of considerable size
supply the bass tones. A few empty
petrol tins placed here and there give
drum effects. As rule the savage pre-
fers something that he can bang, but
any noise is better than none. In the
east, wild music is played on pipes
made Of bamboo, while hollow goprds
Of various sizes provide the African
savage with homegrown flutes, clari-
nets and bassoons Sometimes he will
arrange them so that they form a kind
Of piano. He sits surrounded by cir
Gle of dried fruits, whose hollow skins
give out high or low notes, according to
their size, as he taps them with his fin
gers.

Glands Are Funny Things.

Why is 1t that military music makes
one want to march; that jazz music
makes one want to dance, and plain
tive music makes one sad Science
has discovered that 1t is all due to
a little gland situated at the base Of
ones brain, and 1t controls the
rhythmic beating Of the heart. 1t
prevents it-and other organs Of the
body-from racing. or working irregu-
larry.
Martial music excites the pituitary
gland very much, and in response the
gland manufactures and sends into
ones blood more than its normal
amount of fluid. 1t is this fluid that
controls the speed Of ones heart, and
with the extra amount ones heart
beats much faster, giving one that
exhllarated military feeling.
Another type of music acts on the
pituitary gland in just the opposite
way-it slows 1t down, with an &C.
companying depression or sadness

ToRToISES HAVE LONG LIFE
Allotted Span Of Three Score Years
and Ten Without Significance to
Those Creatures.

What animal lives the longest? Prob
ably the tortoise, though we cannot be
quite sure. According to Mr.. Frederic
A. Lucas in Natural History, three his
toric tortoIses probably have attained
the greatest ages definitely recorded
for any animals.
A tortoise from the Aldabra islands
that is still living at st. Helena, says
Mr.. Lucas, has the distinction Of being
the only creature now alive that saw
the great Napoleon, who died more than
a century ago. How old the tortoise
was when brought to st. Helena we DO
not know, but, venerable as 1t seems to
us with our allotted span Of threescore
years and ten, It is not so old as anOth-
er tortoise, which is-or recently was
living on the island Of Mauritius,
whittier it was brought from the Sey-
chelles many years before, being even
then Of unusual size. In Mauritius 1t
became a national possession and In
1910 was specifically mentioned In the
treaty by which the French ceded the
island to England. 1t Is said to have
been living In Maurttius for at least
seventy years, so that 1t is pretty safe
to conclude that 1t is at least one hun
bred and fifty years old.
That tortoise has been COMPOUNDED
with another, which was brought to
England in 1897, and which now is
preserved in the Rothschild museum at
Tring. 1t was certainly more than one
hundred and fifty years old at the time
Of its death-probably 1t was nearer
two hundred years-and 1t Is the lar
gest known tortoise. 1t Is reported to
have attained the weight Of Ave hun
dred and sixty pounds.

Man's Ace of Strength.

At what age is mans muscular
strength greatesti
1t might be natural to suppose that
with increasing age the muscles, which
develop with constant use, would be-
come stronger, but such is not the
case.
1t has been proved by experiment
that the amount a man uses his mus
cles does not influence the increase and
decline of strength.
These tests showed that where the
average lifting power of a boy is 2S0
pounds, 1t should be increased by his
twentieth year to $50 pounds. A max
lmum of $50 pounds, or Whereabouts,
should be attained by his thlrtieth year,
after which decline in strength sets
in. Between forty mad fifty this de
cline is rapid.

The SIGNIFICANT Present

A genuine love of your own time
is the recognition Of what you meet
in 1t, Of those best moments which
crave to be made accessible even for
the remOtest Of ages following. To
immortalize any given moment, how
ever, is to take 1t out of the temporary
and somehow to find language for
1t so general in its appeal that here
after 1t may preserve in its own sig
nificance the trivial circumstances
from which 1t first arose.-John

years upon the ramp over which they

MT. Gerry, born in New York City on Christmas Day, 1887, was a grandson of Elbridge Gerry of Mass achusetts, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the fifth Vice-President of the United States. He was graduated from Col umbia University in 1857 and was admitted to the New York bar in 1860.
 He held his first public position in 1867 when he was member of the New York constitutional convention. He served as chairman of the New York commission on capital punish ment which in 1886 substituted the electric chair for hanging as the penaley for murderers in that state.
 In 1889, he was chairman of the executive committee for the celebra- tion fo the centennial of the inaug- uration of George Washington and in 1892 he was chairman of the New York City commission on insanity.
 Ever since 1886 he has been known to his friends as Commodore Gerry. He had been interested in yachting for some time and in that year he was elected commodore of the New York Yacht Club, a position which he held for seven years. His flagship, the steam yacht Electra, became familiar to residents of the leading ports of this country and Europe.
