WRIGHT MAKES THREE FLIGHTS

Orville Has New Aeroplane “Tamed” Properly. GOES ROUND AND ROUND Machine Glides Into Air and Descends to Earth at Will of Aviator and Ope* rator Is Cheered Repeatedly For Pluck and Persistency In Trying and Retrying Until Success la Achieved. Major George O. Squier Says Speed of 38 Miles Was Attained. Washington, July 2. —Calm, confident and nerveless, Orville Wright encircled the Fort Myer drill grounds time after time in his aeroplane in three successful flights while a crowd of thousands cheered him for the success that attended his persistency and pluck. Bishop Milton Wright, the proud father, and the brother, Reuchlin, who

MAJOR GEORGE O. SQUIER.

had never before seen his brother’s machine fly, were with the aeroplanists. The first round was made in fifty seconds. Five times the machine skirted the field, attaining a height which varied from fifteen to thirty feet. On the sixth round Wright came to earth within a few feet of the starting point, completing the flight in exactly five minutes. The landing was perfect, the machine swooping down in successive g'ides until -within a few feet of the earth, when Orville pulled the string which stops his motor and the aeroplane glided smoothly over the grass on its skids until it came to a stop. On his second flight Orville made nine rounds of the field in a few seconds less than eight minutes. He made another graceful landing. In his last attempt he remained aloft for a few seconds more than nine minutes and encircled the field nine and one-half times. In this flight he reached a height of forty feet. Major Spuier expressed the opinion that the rounds were approximately half a mile in length. As the machine made these rounds in fifty seconds each, it probably was traveling at a speed of front thirty-six to thirty-eight miles per hour. Charlie Taft, son of the president, violated nearly all of the rules set down by the Wrights for the restriction of photographers. He was greatly excited over the aeroplane's performances.

It was stated that Sir William had made enemies while an executive in India anu that the assassin had been sent to London to accomplish the Englishman’s death. An eye witness said: “Suddenly the native drew a revolver and fired four shots with the greatest rapidity full at the head of the Englishman. “Then came another shot as the Englishman fell, and a sixth which struck an elderly Indian gentleman standing a few yards off and who fell shot In the side. “Then a stately woman in evening dress came upstairs to discover what had happened. Looking at the recumbent figure and not immediately recognizing it, she said ‘poor fellow.’ She then knelt down and as she looked closely at the disfigured face a look of horror leaped Into her eyes and she exclaimed: “'lt is my husband; why wasn’t I with him.' “It was Lady Wyllie, who had left her husband only a few minutes before.” Dr. Lalcaca was a Parsee and from present evidence It would seem that he was shot accidentally.

Prevent Rug Raveling.

A better way than binding to prolong the usefulness of a Smyrna rug that has been whipped out at the ends and has a good center is to cut off the old binding and ravel until you have about three or four inches of warp. Begin at one edge and take up six strands of warp and with the aid of a crochet or buttonhook knot securely against the rug. By taking three of these strands in each hand and polling in opposite directions the knot will slide closer to the rug and prevent the “filler” from raveling. Continue to tie the strands until the warp Is all knotted.

it by means of a rod at either end and avoid smearing the fingers. The holder herewith shown consists of a trough a little longer and wider than an ear of corn and with slots In Its end walls.
