PLANE FOR BUDDING AVIATOR
Well Called the Penguin, Since It
Moves Fast on Ground, but le
Unable to Fly.
Do you know what a penguin l«?
Ton may havt* mid of It, but probably
never have seen one. The penguin is
an ii<|iimtic bird found In .the pnlur re
gions. It Is remarkable for Its pe
culiar structure. It bus only stumps
In place of wings and, for that reason,
Is unable to fly. Hut It Is a good
walker and an expert swimmer and
diver. The name of “penguin” has
also been given to the training ap
paratus employed to teach prospective
aviators the control of the airplane or
seaplane. The name Is well chosen.
The penguin used for training is as
unable to fly as its arctic namesake.
It consists of an airplane with wings
so very small that the power of the
motor Is unable to lift the airplane off
the ground or water. It Is supplied
with ailerons, elevator, rudder and
wheels exceptionally slrong for run
ning on the ground. The apprentice Is
encouraged to run tills “penguin” to
his heart’s content ; there is no danger
that It will take lo the air. In u short
time he graduates to a real airplane
that can and does fly, and then he
can give all his attention to the flying
part without having to worry over the
handling of the various controls. The
sense of safety he enjoys while learn
ing Is a great nerve sedative to the
Inexperienced uvlntor.
Original “Lone Tree.”
There was an Immense cottonwood,
four feet thick and very tall, which
stood in Nebraska almost In the cen
ter of the continent, half way botwoeh
New York and tfan Francisco, which
was within one mile of that center.
Under Its branches rested thousands
of ’40-ers on route to the Eldorado of
the Pacific coast. It was the best-
known camping ground on the old
California trail. Front 184b, when the
gold seekers rushed across the great
plains down to the completion of the
Union Pacific railway, the great tree
wan a guldepost to the wagon trains
going west.
After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old
tree and It eventually rotted away and
died. In 31110 a monument was
erected on the spot that the tree had
occupied. It represents the trunk of
a giant cottonwood and hears this In
scription: “On this spot stood tlis
original I.one Tree on the old Cali
fornia trail.”
REMEDIES CALL FOR FAITH
Truly Weird and Wonderful Are Some
S “Cures” for Various Ills of
the Human Body.
Weird and wonderful are the reme
dies advised In different parts of the
world for diseases which affect hu
manity.
Sufferers from rheumatism may he
pleased to hear that there are people
who claim to have found n sure cure
for their malady by binding split
mackerel around the affected part.
The town of Lee. In England, still
has on record the fumoiis cure known
as the “Lee Penny.” This coin was
brought from the Holy I,and by a Cru
sader. On many occasions when the
health of the people has been threat
ened this penny has been used. “Three
dips and one swirl" In a bucket of wa
ter were supposed to endow the liquid
with healing properties.
In many parts of Europe It Is
thought Hint passing under an ass a
child suffering from whooping cough
will bring instant relief.
Almost every one has heard of the
curing of warts by touching them
with a wedding ring. This “cure” Is
perhaps not so well known: Make the
sign of the cross on a wart, at the
same time chanting: ‘What I see, that
I wish; what I wish, (hat disappears.”
Uncrowned English Queens.
There have been several uncrowned
queens of England. The first was
Margaret of France, tin* second wife
of Edward I. Money was scarce In
the government coffers at the time,
and Edward could not afford the ex
pense of a coronation. The four later
wives of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn’s
successors—Jane Seymour. Anne of
Cleves, Catherine Howard and Cath
erine Purr — were never publicly
crowned as queen consorts. Henrietta
Marie, the wife of diaries I, being a
strict Catholic, refused to lake part lu
a state function which would compel
her to partake of the sacrament ac
cording to the rites of the Church of
England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife
of George I, and mother of George II,
was never recognized as queen of Eng
land and therefore can not be classed
ns one of Britain's uncrowned queens.
Caroline of Brunswick. Ilto wife of
George IV, was not permitted to he
present In Westminster ball at 111*
coronation.

SENSIBLE SIX
Skeletons of Extinct Bird.
Of the ten known existing skeletons
of the great auk In the world, the
United Staten Is the only country pos
sessing two. Greater Boston has these,
one being In the museum of the Bos
ton Society, of Natural History and
the other In the Harvard university
museum.
The Boston museum contains also
an egg of this extinct bird. In view
of the fact that a single egg has
brought as high ns $535, this Is con
sidered a most valuable relic.
This flightless sen-bird formerly was
distributed along the northern coasts
and Islands of North America. In Its
cont of sober coloring with a vest of
sn y white it resembled nothing so
much us n short man in evening dress.
Since It was flightless, the" bird was
easily exterminated, the natives relish
ing It as a food. It probably was
wholly exterminated by 1844.
Havana’s High-Bounding Name.
The full name of the capital of
Cuba is San Christolml de In Habnnn.
In 1834 a royal decree conferred upon
the city the sounding title, “Llnve del
Nuevo Mundo y Antenmrnl de las In
dins Occhlentnles,” which signifies
“Key of the New World and Bulwark
of the West Indies.” In emphasis,
tin* cont-of-arms of the municipality
hears a symbolic key and representa
tions of the fortresses of Morro, Punta
and Fuerxa.
In 1850 Hie city rose to be the com
mercial center of the Spanish-Ameri-
can possessions, and the principal ren
dezvous of tin* royqj fleets that car
ried on the trade monopoly between
Spain and America.
BOHN OF EMPRESS’ DREAM
First Malleable Platinum.
The first veritable platinum .Ingot
was made by a French chemist, <’a-
baii<*MU. In 1783. Charles III of Spain
had called him td Madrid and created
a special chair of mineralogy, physios
and chemistry for him. In Ills labora
tory he found the secret of rendering
111** new metal malleable, and tills Is
Hie way he revealed the fact to one
of his patrons: “Three months Inter,

there appeared upon a table an ingot

Parol an Legend Concerning the Design
and Construction of the Beau
tiful Taj Mahal.
A beautiful story, which Is not gen
erally known, of the creation of the
Taj Mahal is hidden away in the
pages of the Persian manuscripts. The
emperor wished to commemorate his
undying devollon and esteem for his.
beloved consort, hut nothing satisfied
his ambition, until one day Arjumnnd
told him that in a dream she had seen
the noblest and most perfect of
monuments, which If actualized, would
be unparalleled 111 the whole world for
Its matchless beauty. Thy emperor
sent for experts from all over the em
pire and commanded them to design the
architecture of the dream. They la
bored to no effect; they could not vis
ualize the dream. At last one day an
old venerable IMF ascetic presented
himself, who said: “I can help you to
obtain wlmt you seek."
He then presented n mysterious po
tion to one of the architects, before
whose dazed eyes the lovely monument
in all Its glory was revealed. The
magic of the potion lasted while he
drew the plan in all Its detail, then
he fell buck exhausted. The empress,
seeing the design of her vision real
ized, was full of Joy anil the emperor
at once set to work to have this edifice
constructed. The Impossibility of lay
ing a firm foundation next presented
itself. The swampy character of the
hanks of the silvery Jumna made It
impossible to ejject any construction
that would stand, until, In another
dream, it was revealed that the basis
must be of silver. Today the Taj
stands, like an ethereal drop of flaw
less pearl, on Its foundation of solid
silver—breathing forth the poetry of
Its conception:
“Sweater to rest together dead.
Far sweeter than to live asunder.”
