“Eozema appeared when our baby was

THE “TETRAHEDRAL.”
Attempted Solution of the Problem
of Man'* Flying.
It is a queer thought that grave
and famous scientists sometimes be¬
take themselves in dead earnest to
the childhood sport of blowing bub¬
bles,—not for sport, but to study some
very difficult and hard-to-understand
problems that trouble their learned
minds. Perhaps it is even queerer to
see a man whose name is known the
world over for his learning, his inven¬
tions, his wonderful mind and his
earnestness in the pursuit of knowl¬
edge, chasing after a queer-looking '
kite and noting its behavior, and do¬
ing this, too, in the moat serious man¬
ner.
For it is a serious matter, this
scientific kite-flying, and the work,
as it is done by Dr. Alexander Gra¬
ham Bell, the fameus Inventor of the
Bell telephone and dozens of other
useful things, is a task which he
hopes will some day result in a prac¬
tical solution of that most baffling of
riddles—how is man to learn to fly?
that a plane surface of not too
great weight, properly held at an
angle with moving air, will rise In
the air and stay pp, Is a fact known
every boy who ever begged rags

problem of “flying” is to get a
big enough to hold a man or
strong enough to stand the
steady enough to fly without
and stable enough to fly with¬
a cord and to alight without de¬
itself!
It would seem that if a kite of, say,
square feet surface would lift ten
in a certain wind, a kite of
square feet would lift twenty
and thirty square feet thirty
pounds, and so on. But, unfortunate¬
ly for this easy solution of the prob¬
lem, when two or more kites are ad¬
ded, each to each, they lack strength,
and. to get the strength, more weight
must be put into the frames and in
cross bars and braces; so that, when
the kite gets very large, Indeed, large
enough to lift a great deal of weight,
it weighs a* much as It will lift! To
make a kite which would grow strong
er as it was made larger—a kite the
lifting power of which would increase
just as fast as the weight, and which
would be just as strong (in propor¬
tion) big as it was small—was the
first step in Dr. Bell’s problem. This
has been done, within wide limits, and
the result Is a kite called by the
hard name of “tetrahedral.” * a a
The tetrahedral kite flies easily; it
will rise from the ground without a
man’s having to run with the cord,
except in the lightest of breezes. It
will fly In a dead calm If pulled fast
enough. It has no tail, and needs
none; but it flies more steadily in
some shapes than in others, and bet¬
ter with the cord at one place than
another, and these, also, are special
problems that will have to be worked
out to obtain the best results.—From

Georgia Division in Annual
Meeting at Augusta.
GIVEN ROYAL WELCOME
Grizzled Heroes of the Gray Listen to
Eulogistic Addresses and Are
Wrought Up to High Pitch
of Enthusiasm.
The annual reunion of the Georgia
division of the United Confederate
Veterans began Tuesday morning in
.Augusta. It is estimated that a thou
sand veterans of the lost cause were
gathered in the city, which extended
to them a royal welcome, The first
i session was held in the Richmond
county court house.
The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock by General West. After
routine business. Major William M.
Dunbar introduced Judge Henry C.
Hammond, who made an eloquent ad¬
dress of welcome on behalf of the Con¬
federate Veterans and the Sons and
Daughters of the Confederacy resident
at Augusta.
He was followed by Governor Hoke
Smith. The response to the address
of welcome was made by General A.
J. West.
Among the elections for suborgan¬
izations held during the day were the
following: J. Gideon Morris of Mari¬
etta was elected to the command of
the North Georgia Brigade for the com¬
ing year.
W. W. Hurlburt was elected to the
command of the west Georgia division
for the coming year.
Brigadier General McIntyre of Sa¬
vannah was elected brigade comman¬
der of the south Georgia division. The
Georgia brigade postponed its
election until Wednesday.
At the business session the following
resolutions on pensions were unani- '
mously adopted after the regular rules
had been suspended:
“Whereas, the general assembly of
the state of Georgia passed an act
to provide how and in what way pen¬
sions due to the confederate soldiers
by the state under existing laws shall
be paid and for other purposes, ap¬
proved August 22, 1907, copy hereto
attached, and
“Whereas, said act provided for the
payment of pensions quarterly com¬
mencing on the first day of March,
1908, and,
“Whereas, said act will cause great (
inconvenience and expense 'to hun
dreds of confederate veterans and
;
widows and much unnecessary labor j
and time upon the several ordinaries j
of the state, therefore be it
“Resolved, by the United Confeder¬
ate Veterans assembled, That the gen¬
eral assembly be and is hereby earn¬
estly requested to repeal said act at
the next session in June, 1908.”
A smoker Friday night at the Com¬
mercial Club was enjoyed by hundreds
of the old veterans.
The palatial rooms of the club were
thrown open to the visitors, and for
two hours they enjoyed the best and
twidest hospitality that Augusta can
afford.
Governor Smith addressed the boys
in gray and was cheered to the echo.
Governor Ansel of South Carolina,
with members of his staff, had just ar¬
rived in the city, and, after a short
time spent in the Albion hotel, was
escorted by the chairman of the recep¬
tion committee to the Commercial Club.
There he met Governor Smith, and,
surrounded by the brave wearers of
the gray, spent two pleasant hours in
informal conversation reminiscent of
the days of the sixties.
The First Artillery band, from
Charleston, was present, and rendered
several concert selections, while the
veterans threw formality to the winds
and enjoyed themselves to the utmost,
The Georgia division, United Sons
of Confederate Veterans, met in an¬
nual session Tuesday afternoon at the
county courthouse.

CURTAILMENT NECESSARY
Georgia Collection District Will Be
Consolidated With That of South
Carolina; Mississippi and Ala¬
bama to Be Made One.
A Washington special says: The
consolidation of the two internal rev¬
enue collection districts in Tennessee,
announcement of which was made Sat¬
urday by Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Capers, Is only the begin¬
ning of what will be a general amal¬
gamation of revenue (collection dis¬
tricts throughout the country as the
result of the growing temperance
movement.
The Georgia collection district is to
be consolidated with that (Of South
Carolina and the Mississippi and Ala¬
bama districts are to be made one ac¬
cording to present arrangements, but
this action will not be taken until
after the republican national conven¬
tion ia a thing of the past. Political
considerations are responsible- for the
delay.
The administration, which is making
a determined effort to control the na¬
tional convention, does not wish to
give offense to southern republicans
by consolidating these collection dis¬
tricts at this time.
The headquarters of the new Ten¬
nessee district will be at Nashville,
and the president has appointed Rob¬
ert S. Sharp of Chattanooga collector
of the new district of Tennessee. The
new district will be divided into di¬
visions, each in charge of a division
deputy collector instead of eleven, as
at present, which will afford ample
force to handle the internal, revenue
work In connection with the field
force of internal revenue agents.
Mr. Sharp has tendered io Mr. But¬
ler, the present collector of the sec¬
ond district, the position as chief dep¬
uty collector, and International Inter¬
nal Revenue CaiSector Capers, the
present collector of the fifth district,
a revenue agent. Commissioner Ca¬
pers explained because, under the ex¬
isting condition, that the reorganiza¬
tion was imperative; the present or¬
ganization is entirely too large for
the amount of work involved,
“In the entire ninety-six counties ot
deputy collectors,” said Mr. Capers,
“there are only forty-nine grain dis¬
tilleries, sixteen tobacco factories,
thirty-two cigar factories, four brew¬
eries and 104 liquor dealers paying
special taxes, excepting those located
in Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga
and La Follette, the only cities where
Intoxicants cazr now be purchased in
the state.”

Okla., who mysteriously disappeared
with a shortage of cash in the bank of
about $50,000, is still missing.
The estimated liabilities of the in¬
stitution are $119,250, with assets es¬
timated at $55,169. Only $400 in cash

To Be Waged by Labor Federation
Against Edict of National Manufac¬
turers' Association.
That there will be a war to the knife
between the American Federation of
Labor and the National Association of
Manufacturers was evidenced Tuesday
at the session of the federation In Nor
folk, Va.
The federation already has taken the
aggressive by looking to the establish¬
ment of a fund to fight the manufac¬
turers through its executive council.
The allegation is that undue pressure
Is being brought to bear by the manu¬
facturers of the country hgainst or
ganized labor, to the detriment of the
latter. The manufacturers combat
this.
In a statement by the federation,
James Van Cleave, president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
maintains that the object of the asso¬
ciation is to put labor organizations
on a basis whereby they may be held
responsible for their contracts, and
instances the pending court proceed¬
ings in New York of the Typothetae
against the pressmen for the recovery
of damages caused by the alleged
breaking of contracts by the press¬
men.
On the issue made by Mr. Gomper3,
in seeking funds to fight the suit
brought by Mr. Van Cleave, as presi¬
dent of the Buck Stove apd Range com¬
pany of St. Louis against President
Gompers and the federation’s execu¬
tive council, the association comes out
flatfooted with the statement that it
"will fight the boycott and the black
list to a finish.”
During the day the federation took
aggressive steps toward the establish¬
ment of a universal eight-hour work¬
ing day in America, and began action
looking to ways and means for the rais¬
ing of a tremendous fund to fight the
present war that its executive council
reported had been begun through the
Manufacturers’ Association, with an
available fund of $1,500,000 on hand
by the latter against organized labor,
with particular aim by the manufac¬
turers’ association against the efforts
of the American Federation of Labor
of the conditions of the working class¬
es and “wealth producers” of the coun
try.
The federation authorized President
Gompers to appoint special committees
for the consideration of both of these
questions, the committees to reporl
during the present sessions.
EXTREME PENALTY GIVEN.
-
Embezzling Postmaster and Registry
Clerk Hard Hit by Judge.
James M. Ragan, former postmas
ter of Anniston, Alabama, and Frank
Roberts, former registry clerk in the
Anniston postoffice, were carried before
Judge Oscar R. Hundley in the Uni¬
ted States district court Tuesday after¬
noon and, after entering pleas of guil¬
ty, were sentenced as follows:
Ragan, five years in the Atlanta pen¬
itentiary and to pay a fine of $43,000;
Roberts, eighteen months in the At¬
lanta penitentiary and to pay a fine
of $4,328. The amount of Ragan’s em¬
bezzlement was $3,022.81. Roberts’
embezzlement was $184.
Both made short statements and
pleaded for mercy. Judge Huudley
stated in Ragan’s case that since he
has been judge he has never given the
extreme penalty, but that he would
have to do so in this case.
MONEY OF MINERS STOLEN.

her counsel, Mr. Wells. The court
room Bonine was crowded, has and not sinc e the*
trial so much interest been
manifested in any case before the di 3
trict court
Mrs. Bradley was led from the room
after spending five minutes in the
courtroom. Within this short time,
however, Mrs. Bradley had faced one
of the most crucial moments in her
eventful life, coming face to face for
the first time 'with, the judge to whom
she must give an accounting for the
tragic happenings of that night near¬
ly a year ago, when she entered- the
room of Senator Brown at the Raleigh
hotel and took his life, saying: “He is
not my husband, but he is the father
of my two children.”
The killing of ex-Senator Brown, oc¬
curring, as it did, a month before the
date set for his marriage to the mother
of Maude Adams, the actress, caused a
great sensation, as it revealed his lla
son with Mrs. Bradley, and the fact
that he had induced her to desert her
husband under promise that he would
marry her. Brown cared, for Mrs. Brad¬
ley and, their two children for several
years, but when free to marry her, he
refused, and planned marriage with
another. Knowledge of Brown's infi¬
delity came to Mrs. Bradley and she
made her way from Salt Lake to Wash,
ington, called on Brown at his hotel,
and shot him to death. It is said that
Brown, w.hen dying, asked that Mrs.
Bradley be not prosecuted.
Mrs. Bradley’s attorneys had planned
to have her two little boys, sons ot
Brown, as witnesses, but it is said the
judge refused to permit this, holding
that the testimony which the boys
would give would be “irrelevant, incom¬
petent and immaterial.”
Mrs. Bradley’s lawyers claim that
they can bring proof that Brown wan
the wrecker of other homes.
The trial will be held in the old city
hall, the scene of the Guiteau and other
famous trials. It is said that the presi¬
dent, disturbed over the publicity given
the Thaw case, will exert every mflu
ence to eliminate as much as possible
the sensational features of the Brad
ley trial.
