,Built Now to Carry Passengers, De-
spite the Pessimistic Warnings
of the Theorists.
Big aeroplanes are the striking de-
velopment of this year in aeronau-
tics—six-passenger, eight-passenger,
land even ten-passenger machines
having made successful flights. Many
theorists have recently declared that
[there are physical limits to the size
of successful aeroplanes, and that
these limits have nearly boen
[reached; but on the practical side the
development continues.
One Russian aviator has made
long flights with a machine having a
span of more than 100 feet. The
latest model in Wright’s machines,
in contrast, has a span of only 38
'feet; and the span of the high-speed
[French machines is much less. The
Russian aeroplane carries ten passen-
gers, all seated comfortably in an in-
closed car. Four hundred horsepower
is used to turn lour propellers.
A tandem biplane recently tried
(out on the Seine in France, adapted
to rise from the water, weighs more
than three tons loaded, and is driven
'by three engines developing 400
horsepower. Two sets of wings have
a span of 82 feet eqch. • Machines
are now being constructed to carry
12 and 14 passengers.—Saturday

Bridegroom Didn’t Show JJp.
There was to be a wedding of
great importance in colored cir-
cles. Preparations were made
for weeks and a big crowd turned
out on the auspicious evening.
Next day the wife of the judge
ohanced to meet the happy bride,
who had formerly been her maid.
“Well, Martha,” said Mrs. J.,
“did you have a big wedding?”
“ ‘Deed Ah did missus, deed
Ah did, de most plendiferous oc-
casion of de season.”
“Receive many handsome
presents?”
“Yes’m, yes’m, de hull house
was just crowded wiv de gifts.
“Did you have your house
nicely decorated?”
“Yes’m, yes’m. Everybody
done wear der very best, look
jes’ lak a white folks’ dress
affaih, yes’m.”
“And yourself, Martha, how
did you look?”
“Ah was sutinly some scrump-
tious, yes’m. Ah done wore mah
white bridal dress, an’ orange
blossoms, yes’m. Ah was some
kid.”
“And the bridegroom, how did
he appear?”
“De bridegroom? Aw, dat
triflin’ lowdown houn’ daw, he
didn’t show up at all, but we had
a magnificous occasion wivout
him, jest de same.”—National
Food Magazine.
Continuing the Spring Sale of Women’s Coat
$uits5 Spring Coat and
American Manufacturers Complain
That Engineers Are Not Sufficiently
Recognizing Situation.
Notwithstanding the leading posi-
tion of the United States in crude-oil
production, every other manufactur-
ing nation in the world is far in ad-
vance of us in the manufacture and
use of crude-oil engines. Many
causes have operated to produce this
result; hut whatever these causes, the
fact does no credit to American me-
chanical engineering ability and pro-
gressiveness. The Swedish Diesel
engine, which is now to be taken up
Ifor manufacture here, has made an
excellent record in Enrope, and its
'builders and designers there are to
'take an active interest in its manu-
facture here.
It may be, as is often claimed, that
European engineers have gone to an
extreme in the use of crude-oil en-
gines; but the steady increase in the
price of gasoline here tends to make
power users in this country also turn
more and more toward the crude-oil
engines. In the southwest and on
the Pacific coast especially there is
an enormous field for the use of
crude-oil engines, which American
manufacturers have hitherto failed
to work to its full extent.—Engineer-
ing News.
i “Well,” replied the plain citizen,
(“after you have put in your life try-
ing to give a woman the kind of a
Jhouse she wants and good clothes and
furniture and anything else her hap-
[piness craves, it doesn’t seem sensible
[to try to hold out on a little thing
[like the vote.”

THE FACT IN THE CASE.
“People are getting on badly
enough in those floods, aren’t they ?”
“I think they ought to be able to
get on swimmingly.”
GETTING IT STRAIGHT.
She—I believe you married me
simply because I had money.
He—Quite the opposite, madam.
I married you because I hadn’t any.
SHE COULDN’T SEE IT.
Jack—Did you tell her that she
was necessary to your happiness ?
Tom—No; I tried to persuade her
that I was necessary to hers.

Those who planned to go to
war yesterday may put aside
their arms and rest easy for a
time at least. Mr. Huerta has
concluded to salute the flag with
a volley of 21 guns, which will be
replied to by the U. S. govern-
ment and this last incident wilh
be closed. Those who want to
go to war however, may hold
themselves in readiness for future
action, as something will neces-
sarily have to be done before the
Mexican situation is entirely
quieted. They have small
quantities of arms and ammu-
nition, little food has been raised
in the past several years, com-
merce is suspended in a large
part of their territory, their mines
and miners are idle, and money
is scarce and hard to get. No
sooner does one faction seem to
have the supremacy than a di-
vision occurs and there is war
among themselves. A steadying
hand will have to be placed upon
that country at some future time
and that means that all hands will
be against whoever undertakes
to do the steadying act.
