derful Aeroplane With Which |
He Has Seemingly Con- l\

WASHINGTON.—Mark Twain, at
the end of a long account of his
visit to Rome, said that he ought to
have a prize for being the only man |
who ever wrote more than a pagel
about Rome without once using the‘(
expression ‘‘Butchered to make a Ro—i
man holiday.” So I think I ought
to be awarded a prize for being the
oaly man who has written column
after column about dirigible balloons
and flyilng machines without once
starting off with ‘‘Like a huge
bird.”
Yesterday I stood on the parade
ground at Fort Myer and saw Orville
Wright fly round and round over the
parade ground, several times flying
directly over my head at a distance
im the air averaging about thirty-five
feet. 1 saw him rise up from the
ground a number of times and soar
down gently to the earth again, rise
again and sail around in the air, re
maining up in the air all the way
from one and a half minutes to 57
minutes and 32 seconds, as he did
this morning, and not once did 1
think of a bird, either huge or small.
The fact is an aeroplane looks
about as much ilke a bird as a wheel
barrow looks like a billy goat. A
bird flies and so does an aeroplane;
a wheelbarrow moves along on the
ground and so does a billy goat, but
in both cases there the resemblance
stops.
The aeroplane has no wings, has

no tail, has no head, no feet, neither
feathers nor comb, neither breast
nor back, nothing, in fact, that could
be called a body, except the man who
sits in between the two canvas
planes and steers it. Certainly he
doesn’t look like any bird or part of
a bird. What the whole thing does
look like, if it looks like anything
except an aeroplane, is a man in a
steam grain harvester, except that
he is a little higher off the ground
and when you look under his ma
chine there are no wheels holding
it up.
Propellers Like Rakes on a
Harvester.
The two big fan-like propellers be
hind, which twirl and buzz, resemble
the large revolving rakes on the har
vester. The pictures of the chariots
in the air, in which the Grecian gods,
or of the one in which Elijah went
up to heaven, except that there is no
fire raging all round it, is a far bet
ter likeness to an aeroplane than
any bird that ever navigated the at
mosphere. But the essential thing
is, it flies; the man himself with its
assistance flies. This man is not
buoyed up by a balloon containing
gas so that the man, together with
the gas bag and all the fixtures, is
lighter than the air the whole dis
places and must necessarily stay in
the air, but he takes a contrivance
weighing 700 or 800 pounds, besides
‘his own weight, and flies about in the
air like a man swimming in the wa
ter. And like the man swimming
in the water he must keep a kicking
to stay up.
Mr. Wright demonstrated this
week that he. could stay up in the
air; that is, that he could keep kick
ing, for a good long time, mucn
longer than the average man can
keep swimming. And he has practi
cally demonstrated that he can stay
up there as long as his fuel for the
engine lasts. The 65 minutes and
52 seconds he stayed up yesterday
will be beaten, of course. The next
longest flight of Wright's was some
time back—2o minutes.

A FOOLHARDY ACT.
Man Touched a Match to Powder and
Whole Carload Exploded.
Seven persons are dead and thirty
injured, four of whom are not ex
pected to live, as the result of an
explosion of a car of black powder at
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas sta
tion at Windsor, Mo. ‘
When it became known about town
that a car of powder was on the
tracks at the station a number of
curiosity seekers, a majority of
whom were negroes, assembled.
A. F. Hershberger, a Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas freight conductor, be
came annoyed at their presence. In
moving a keg of powder some of the
explosive fell over. Seeing it on the
ground Hershberger remarked: “I'll
show you how to scare negroes.”
He lighted a match and threw it
into the powder. Instantly there was
an explosion that shook the town,
knocked one end off the depot and
shattered windows and stopped clocks
for miles around. The car contain
ing the powder was hurled in every
direction.
WATERMELONS FOR VINEGAR.
Said to Be Superior to That Made
From Apples.
A Bloomingdale, Ind., dispatch
says: On account of the shortage
of the apple crop James Mehurien,
manager of the cider mill at this
place, will use watermelons for cider.
The market is overstocked with mel
ons, and Mr. Mehurien lis buying
them in large quantities. It is said
that vinegar from watermelon juice
is superior to that made from ap
ples.
It is estimated that the greater
part of the corn crop is too badly
injured by the drought to be bene
fited should rain come now. Peaches
and other fruits are also much dam
aged. Farmers have been compelled
to stop plowing.
JONESBORO, Ark.—Night-riders
are organizing in northeastern Ar
kansas, it is reliably reported, for
the purpose of reducing the cotton
acreage for next year and compell
ing the holding of this year’s crop
Ifor the minimum price set by the
International Farmers’ Union con
vention, which met at Fort Worth
recently.
Three farmers in Craighead coun
ty and one in Poinsett county have
been threatened by a band of riders,
‘and considerable anxiety is felt by
the cotton buyers and ginners.
! Early Monday a farmer on the
road with cotton to Lake City for
marketing was turned back by a
band of twenty men on horseback
with orders to hold his cotton for the
| ‘'minimum price.”’

FIND RESPONSE IN THE BOSOM
OF CANDIDATE TAFT.
Says He Inherited His Sympathy For
the Race, and Deplores the Utter
ances of Some Public Men.
September 16th. was the fifty
first anniversary of Mr. Taft's birth.
He delivered an address in Cincin
nati to an audience of ministers com
posing the Ohio conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal church.
In his address he said he was
there for the purpose of expressing
his sympathy with the negro race
in its struggle for better things. ‘A
sympathy,” he said, “which I have
had from the time I was small, for
I inherited it from my father, Al
phonse Taft, in whom the colored
race never had a better friend.
Sees Need of Higher Education.
He said he had not always been
in favor of higher education for mem
bers of the negro race, ‘‘but after a
full consideration of the need of the
race I am convinced that I was in
error.”
On the subject of race prejudice
and mob violence Mr. Taft said:
“I don’t know that ‘the race bit
terness is any stronger today than
it ever was. For a length of time
it seems to be altogether abated and
then there will be an outbhreak, a
mob will be formed, developing the
most fiendish cruelty and manifest
ing itself in the blindest and most
unreasonable assaults upon perfectly
innocent people, simply because of
their color. 1t is only fair to say
that such brutish exhibitions are not
confined to any one section.
“It is impossible to read accounts
of this sort without having one's
blood boil with indignation that there
can reside in the human breast such
savage and beastly impulse and mo
tive.”’ :
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—A special to
the Commercial-Appeal from Colum
bus, Miss., says:
Although it has not become gen
erally known, the night-riders are
making things warm in Wayne coun
ty, Mississippi. A reliable report
from Shubuta, in this county, about
35 miles south of Meridian, on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, states that
the riders notified three of the
largest planters in that section that
their gins must close down under
penalty of either death to themselves
or the burning of their ginneries,
Another report comes from West
point, Clay county, Mississippi, 20
miles west of here, that the West
lpoint military company has been cr
;dered to be ready to leave their
;armory upon instant orders from the
‘ gOVernor.

THEY PROMOTE AGRICULTURE.
The Great Work the Railroads Have
Done in the West.
In the current issue of Harper’s
Weekly John Kimberly Mumford de
scribes the part played by the great
railroad systems, with their agricul
tural experts, in enriching the west
ern farmer. ‘“There was a time,”
he writes, “when the corn in Ne
braska only half ripened. llts period
of maturity was too long. The rains
interfered with the planting, the hot
season of summer baked the pollen
and blocked the fertilization of the
ear, and the frosts of September
nipped it before it had time to fill.
The Union Pacific ran ‘Seed Corn
Specials’ to every town on its con
nection—trains loaded with good
corn for enlightenment and bad corn
as a horrible example, with agri
cultural college professors and with
a few hard-headed farmers to drive
home the truth. The dates of advent
were liberally advertised ahead. llf
the crowd of soil-tillers that came
was too big for the cars the educa
tional session was transferred to the
town hall, and there experts lectured
on the way to select seed, and on
everything else connected with corn.
Today a great part of the corn of
Nebraska, which once passed as No.
3, is pulled up to No. 2, with a cor
responding increase in price. Where
a few years ago it took four months
and a half to ripen corn it is now
done in eighty-five or ninety days on
the average, and has been gotten
down as low as fifty-five days in ex
periment.,”’
