Those are attached to the ma chine chamber In a way so as to yield to th‘* extra stresses caused when the machine encounters the great “boui- deTs” in the air. Just as the springs of an automobile yield when a!n uneven road is entered. Single Pilot Governs. The peculiar construction of the wing is such that the air currents are guided under the wings inwardly to ward the body of the machine, where they are banked under the base por tion. tPbis bringing the greatest strew? on the part w here the weight is car ried Such is the arrangement that the essential "angle of incidence’* of all the wings can be governed by a single pilot, even to such an extent that should all the engines be stopped the wings will be automatically set at a safe gliding angle, the course of tfhich is easily controlled. Captain Batson takes the success of his Invention as a matter of course. "It is far more wonderful,” he said "that men should literally take their lives in their hands and go from Paris to London through the air. over sea and land In their unavoidably un steady craft than that the Batson aero yacht should, with so much great r er carrying capacity and complete au tomatic stability, be able to go longer distances in perfect safety. A great loss of Rfe appears to be inevitable with aeroplane* of the dangerous and unstable type now in general use. and though the recent Titanic disaster shows that it is impossible to foresee every contingency, vet it is a safe and comforting prediction that because of its automatic stability no such ac cidents as those which hitherto have happened can possibly occur to a Bal lon multiplane."

R. T. Claywell first saw the strange light about a month ago when he and a party of friends were spending the night at Cold Water. "There Is something uncanny about that light.

What first attracted our attention were two hazy lights Across the valley on Brown Mountain. "We watched it with wonder and awe. In a few minutes we saw a brighter light appear at the foot of Brown Mountain, where Upper Creek cuts it at Joy. The light appeared to be swinging, pendulum-like, and then went upward a distance of about 200 feet. "When it first appeared the light seemed to be round and yellow. It gained steadily In brightness, becom ing red as it went upward When it reached Its greatest height it appear ed to be like a boil of fire. Did Not Shed a Ray.

"It was across the valley from us at a distance of about twelve miles. It had rained that day and there were a few clouds, still hanging about. When the strange light reached a height of what seemed from our dis tance to be about 1,200 feet it went behind one of these clouds ,and we did not see it any more that night.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—That the American -Hawaiian Steamship Com pany will send a steamship through the Panama Canal every 36 hours next year, and that Instead of sail ing every five days they will send their vessels out every three days, was part of the program announced here to-day by the company. The statement was provoked bp- cause an issued report stated that the American-Hawaiian line was consid erably “overbuilt.” The statement of the company fol lows: "The fact of having excess tonnage far ahead pf the opening of the canal does npt disconcert us and the Amef- ican-Hawallan line is proud of the fact that their fleet with a capacity of 270,000 tons will be ready in time. When the canal voute is used we shall maintain a schedule of one steamer sailing from New York every three days. "It is true that we have chartered the American and the California to the American and Cuban Steamship Company and we believe these steam ships will make several trips to Bra zil. These are the ships we con structed when the company was feel ing its way. and their arrival in the South American ports will place on view the American flag, the lack of which in foreign waters has been commented on many times."
