WRIGHT SEES NO HOPEJll AIRSHIP Future Development Lies With Aeroplane, Not With Dirigible Balloon. FEW FLIGHTS IN BERLIN

GERMAN WRIGHT COMPANY IS PREPARED TO DELIVER FLYING MACHINES NEXT MONTH FOR $5,000 EACH. Berlin, Sept. 13.-Orvllle Wright expresses himself as charmed with the personality and character of Count Zeppelin and Is generous in his recognition of the septuagenarian aeronaut's triumphant perseverance, but the American flying man is frankly skeptical regarding the further possibilities of dirigible balloons. "I . don't wish to be understood," said Mr. Wright to the correspondent. "as attempting to make any sort of comparison between airships and aeroplanes. They are bo diametrically opposed as to make such a thing im possible. The graceful ease and apparent accuracy with which Count Zeppelin can steer his balloon was thoroughly shown during last Sunday's picturesque flight across Berlin. Yet my definite impression is now more confirmed than ever that the airship has nearly reached the limit of its capabilities. The Staam Engine. "As compared with the aeroplane, I should say that the airship occupies the same relative position as the steam engine does toward the gas engine. The possibilities of the former are, as engineers agree, pretty well exhausted, while wholly undreamed ofthings are to be expected from the gas engine. "My superficial observation of the Zeppelin airship, in the light of its past and most recent performances, is that the Count has rather erred in his firm adherence to an all-metal construction. .1 think the crystallization of the steel and aluminium revealed by his airships has a good deal to do with, their inclination to break down at critical and unexpected moments. "As far as the propellers are concerned, I am convinced that Count Zeppelin will have to resort to wood, which we have always used not only for our propellers, but for every other possible part of our flying machines." Mr. Wright expects to make not more than ten or a dozen flights in Berlin. Between the flights he will be busy instructing his first German pupil, Capt. von Sngelhardt, a former naval officer. The German Wright company will be prepared to deliver machines after Oct. 1. They are to sell for $5,000 each and anybody acquainted with the incredibly simple construction of the Wright biplanes can figure out for himself that each -machine, at this figure, represents- a handsome profit for the owners of the German patents. GOBBLES DOWN 36 EGGS. Human Ostrich Then Wants Some One to Buy Him Goose. Bloomsburg, Pa., Sept. 13. "Hun gry Sam" Miller, the "Human Os trick." was in Bloomsburg a few hours today' hungry as ever andthe envy of all dyspeptics. "Sam" still hankers after raw eggs. shells and all. On a wager of $5 uo ate three dozen, shells and all. His method is to put the egg whole in his capacious mouth, close his "chop,'' crush the shell and Just swallow. It took him less than a half hour to eat the eggs, half a custard pip, a quart of ice cream, half a cake and washing it down with four bottles of beer. Then he wanted to wager $10 that he could eat a ten pound goose. There were no takers. In the End. He is called the undertaker, but he overtakes us all. Philadelphia Bulle tin. Ten Doctors Said He Would Die "la 1903 we wrote you regardiner my husband, who was suffering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North Georgian Conference. Ten doctors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Restorative Nervine; : we did as advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a . great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonderful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga. This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It does not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back, "

BRITISH BATTLESHIPS Will Engage in Maneuvers Off The Coast of Virginia in The Near Future. THE PLAN IS ANNOUNCED Norfolk, Va., Sept 13. According to advices received at the British Vice Consulate here, 16 battleships and cruisers of the British navy are to engage in maneuvers and tactical evolutions off this coast, with Hampton Roads as their base. All supplies will come from Virginia towns. Barton Myers, British Vice Consul, has been directed to forward to the British Admiralty all information concerning the coal supply of this port. The cost and abundancy of labor and whether trouble of any kind would be had in obtaining provisions, oil and cotton waste. The plan, it is announced, is to have 4 British warships that are to participate in the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York come to Hampton Roads where they will be joined by six other warships to be sent direct from England. A STANDARD KARAT The standard "karat" has been es. tablished in France by an act of parliament, which decrees that It shall be known as the "metric karat," and the term shall be employed to designate a weight of 3,086 grains of 200 milligrams. The use of the word to designate any other weight is prohibited. It is entirely likely that the action of the Franch government will be followed by serveral others, and the term will soon have the same significance all the world over.

(Tbia matter must not C? reprinted without special permission. CORN AND CHOLERA. Hog raisers the country over are put ting two and two together in the matter1 of excessively high prices of corn and absence of bog cholera and drawing some deductions that ought to be of value for a good many years to come along the lice of the connection between the health of the hog and the food ration which it is given. It has been observed during the past eight een months an interval which has seen scant feeding of corn owing to high price that there has been an al most total absence of the swine plague in sections where corn has constituted the chief feeding and fattening ration. The net result of this situation has meant an enormous saving to hog raisers, and this whether the connec tion between feed and animal health is as close as held by some or not. There Is surely enough in the theory to make careful study and comparisons of feeding conditlous in different sea sons worth while, it has been a mat ter of observation with a good many that the worst outbreaks of cholera have usually followed on the heels of an inordinate stuffing of young pigs with green and immature corn, the plague finding fertile soil for develop ment for months after in droves of hogs whose health had been weakened as a result of this irrational method of feeding. If It turns out. therefore, that yie feeder can just as well sell a part of bis corn and at the same time save his hogs, it would seem clearly in his interest to do so. ABOUT CEMENT TILE. It is only justice and fairness to those contemplating the drainage of wet land to speak another word of warning touching the use of cement tiles In the manufacture of which the proper kind of clean, sharp sand has not been used or which do not con tain a sufficient per cent of cement to give them strength and durability. Within a fortnight we have heard one who is interf-.sted in a square deal for the user of ties say that a short time since be saw cement tiles of this shod dy description taken from the ditch all gone to pieces which were laid but eighteen months ago. The worst feature about the matter is that one who is not acquainted with cement tiles cannot tell at a glance whether-they are properly made or not, while the putting of them in the ground to find out is altogether too expensive an ex periment for the average man to monkey with. In view of this situation it follows that the only safeguard that one can have in purchasing cement tiles is the character and experience of the man who has made and offers them for sale. Makers of clay tiles concede that cement tiles, properly made, are as good as clay tiles, and this is quite a concession for a competitor to make, but no such authority as this need be cited to prove that poor cement tiles are not worth a continental in fact, are, if Uld, a good deal worse than nothing. A WINNING COMBINATION. The flret five or six years in the life of an orchard may be counted upon as well nigh unproductive. To overcome this some grow a cover crop in sections where the winters are cold which, relng a secondary considera tion, can he counted on for but a slight return. In the west, where the winters are milder, strawberries are grown among the trees and not only serve this purpose where needed, but give generous return for the use of the land. In the Hood river valley, famed as an arple and strawberry section, the strawberries in the young orchards net the owners all the way from $20C to $700 per acre. At the end of five years the trees come Into bearing, when the numbers of rows may he decreased or the plants entirely re moved. Strawberries might well be grown thus in even much colder sections, as the plants and covering re quired to protect them would catch as much snow as would be needed to pro tect the roots of the trees. THE ORANGE SCALE. The California orange grower has lately had to cope with one of the most serious pests which have troubled him the "range scale, which has appeared in several colors and Is analogous to the San Jose scale. Usual methods of spraying with bordeaux or lime-sulphur solutions seem to be ineffective. The method at present followed Is to cover the trees with a tight canvas and give a thorough fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas, one of the most deadly volatile -poisons known, which is sura death to all forms of animal or bacterial life with which it comes io contact. The process is a tedious and expensive one, as it takes some time to treat each tree, but it is the only way out for those who hope to produce an orange crop which will pass muster at the sacking bouse. Losses from imbruing over the country were $6,000,000 last year, sad 60 per cent of the fire losses In country districts for tus period were directly traceable to lightning. Where small fruit trees are damaged by bail they may be helped out by cutting off the badly injured Hmbs and even a portion of the trunk. This will induce a growth of new limbs to take the place of the old. If the trunk is badly injured it would probably be best to remove it entirely and reset with a new one. Texas leads all other states in the variety of cactuses which grow within her borders, California being a close second. These vary in size from those that are of a delicate and fragile type to those that grow eight or ten feet high and have much the appearance of trees. In blossom the variation in color, size snd form is almost as great To prove beyond question the Increasing prosperity of Kansas one need only cite the fact that, while in 1891 the Sunflower State grew but 3484

A sketch of the history of the alfalfa plant appearing in a late agricultural paper holds tlint it originated south west of the central part of Asia, which is the district generally credited with being the location of the garden of Eden. If this theory can be worked out it seems that we should have a feeling of gratitude for Adam for being the disseminator of this great legume, in spite of the fact that we usually credit sbiai with leing responsible for weed peats that succeeding generations bare beeo cursed with. Not la many a year has there bT a more m;i.cniuent crep of wheat harvested than has been secured durinr the past few weeks in the treat wheat belt lying just west of the Mississippi river. Let roe great forests of coin but brins forth lo maturity without killing froat the myriad ears that ar already la sight and there will b granaries and cribs everywhere tha: will be literally full to overflowing. This means that confidence, prosperity and good times are going to prevail In a degree seldom witnessed in the history of the country. Breeders of Guernsey cattle in tin state of Mirbigau are much Interested in a move which has lately been made wherebv Grosse isle, near Detroit, is to be turned iato a Guernsey island where no cattle wHl be kept but thoroughbreds of this popular dairy breed. Last rear sixteen thoroughbred cows were Imported from the island of Guernsey, in the English channel. One of the hobbles of the men who are interested In the enterprise is clean milk, and this product will be shipped to Detroit for local consumption. The move is bound to give the breeding of Guernsey cattle a boost as well as the general dairy interests of the state. In favoring a narrower highway some have argued that the sale of this redeemed land would aggregate $30. 000 per tewnshlp on the basis of a val nation of $123 per acre and could be well nsed as a fund for Improving the roads in the territory. This plan is all right in theory, but the fact of the matter is that in the case mt a vacation of a part or all of the highway the land so vacated reverts to the owner of the adjoining property, whose was before the road was established But notwithstanding this a narrowing of the road a couple of rods would in a majority of cases be the means of reducing just that amount the un sightly weeds and grass at either side, which often, owing to the way the road is graded, it Is almost impossible to cut with a machine. Pockets in motoring coats are being made very large so that they will be of real use. Skirtings are nearly all striped which adds to the long-lined effects of the season.

PROGRESS RAPIDLY Four Sections of Panama Ca nal Are Now Finished. Washington. D. Q, Sept 13. "Good progress is being made on the Panama canal and four sections of it have been finished," said Colonel Goethals, chief engineer, in charge of the construction of the canal, upon his arrival here from the isthmus. Colonel Goethals returned to this country on leave. "The canal must be finished seme time and the excavations will fall off from time to time as each part is finished,' he said, when asked to what he attributed the decrease in the average excavations in August compared with those of the preceding month. "The report for each month gives the average excavation for the whole project, but if the work for Culebra cut alone were figured out it would be found that we are doing more there at present than at any previous time.
