— With characteristic secrecy the Japanese have been per (ecting a military aeroplane at Hakodate which la said to be a The little brown men have developed a birdlike craft that at tained a speed of 68 miles an hour This is the record in aerial navlga tlon There was no publicity In the Japanese trials A cordon of troops sur rounded the flying field but they were not there to preserve decorum on the part of a throng of spectators They were to eliminate spectators altogether Hakodate Is in the northern part of the Japanese archipelago The flying ground over which the new craft has been practicing la a flat tract surrounded by high bills On these hills were erected block houses and troops were stationed in an impenetrable circle around the field which was large course enough to provide a Massanao Hanahara of Secretary the Japanese embassy said that he was not sufficiently versed In aeronautics to describe the new aeroplane but added: "I know only that a commission was appointed some time ago to study the subject I was under the impression that the experiments had not produced much yet But it Is a matter that Is outside of my line” The Japanese monoplane Is said to bear a closer resemblance to the “bird form” than either the Latham or the Bleriot machine The engine develops 80 horsepower and drives the propellers at 2000 revolutions a minute or nearly bIx times faster that the driving power of a Wright machine Control of the machine In flight Is effected through a flattened tall which can be distorted at the will of the aviator to meet diverse currents of

on man He has been present at the birth of icebergs He has watched the glaciers discharge them This remakable experience was accorded him during his exploration o Yakutat bay foreland the largest gla cier on the American mainland undertaken in 1906 in the interest of the United States geological survey The glaciers that reach the shore discharge Icebergs of various colors he says— white bergs from the ice walls above the sea blue often beautiful Antwerp blue from below the water and black from the base of the glacier In the warm summer all the blue bergs quickly whiten sometimes in less than 24 hours A typical discharge of Icebergs is described by the professor as follows: “First a small piece tell from the face then a pinnacle at the ice front rose 60 to 100 feet reaching well above the surface of the glacier it then turned slowly over into the fiord sending a large fountain of water to a height of 75 or 100 feet "Immediately another ice mass clear and blue arose from beneath the water’s surface throwing it into renewed and still greater ' commotion which lasted fully five minutes as th berg rocked to and fro’ "A great series of ring waves spread out for nearly ten minutes causing heavy surf on the coast to a distance of at least one and f miles from the glacier “Prior to this fall there was almost no floating Ice in front of the glacier Five minutes after the discharge of the iceberg there was a ring of very muddy water in which floated several thousand icebergs of small size and six ones all clean and free from dirt "The ring of the Icebergs kept spreading until it reached both shores advancing half a mile in each direction in about 20 minutes The largest bergs one of which was more than 100 feet long rose at least 30 feet above the water” Yakutat bay lies at the base of the St Elias range about 30 miles southeast of Mount St Ellas where the international strikes due boundary north It is the only harbor on the of comparatively stretch coastline between Cross straight sound opposite Juneau and Controller bay Along the coast the Falrweather and St Elias mountains rise abruptly to great altitudes At their feet bordering the sea is a lowland fringe or foreland of glacial debris Prof Tarr says that the present glaciers are mere remnants of former ice floods which extended to the mouth of the Yakutat bay Many of them are still actively moving and some descend to' the shore These continue to discharge icebergs at Irregular intervals Man Cured of Sliced Heart Proves Complete Cardiac 8titchlng Success— Man Leaves Hospital In Good Condition in

W There was much surprise and no little consternation in the ranks of the Sterling stock company when it was announced that the star of the cast Miss Halliday had been taken suddenly ill and that the part of "Iris” would be given over to the mercies of a substitute that night Gerald Morrison who sustained the principal male character of the play was particularly worried over the unfortunate occurrence ' He looked about him inquisitively as he stepped upon the The new leading stage lady was not visible and the only strange face he observed was that of a pretty young girl who had apparently been brought by some friend in the company for a peep behind the scenes "Ready for the first act!” cried the stage manager and Gerald was surprised to see when the stage was cleared that the strange young girl remained He was about to go forward and warn her that the rehearsal was to begin and that the leading lady would want the stage to herself when he was amazed to hear her repeat in rather nervous tones the opening lines assigned to “Iris” The act proceeded and the girl became more nervous as- each new character appeared until when Gerald approached her she greeted him with trembling voice and tearful eyes instead of the gay flippancy assigned to the part This annoyed him and he spoke his lines in a rough careless way that made her alntost forget hers She glanced at him appealingly and whispered: "Please forgive me I’ll do better toGerald left the theater in night” He anything but a pleasant moodlooked forward to all sorts of unpleasant happenings during the evening 8hs Hastened Forward Breathlessly performance and when the time came for his appearance before the footlights he had worked himself into a state of nervousness almost rivaling that of the debutante Iris made up very well he thought as he came forward on the stage but it remained to be seen how she would act He advanced repeating his lines in a jerky irresolute fashion and mixing the sentences so that the cue was lost Much to his surprise and relief lowever Iris saved him from the consequences of his lapse of memory by an extempore word or two that brought the play back into its proper groove On the following morning the newspapers spoke in highest praise of the opening performance of the Sterling stock company in “The World and a Woman” To Gerald Morrison was given the greatest credit for the success of the play although mention was made of the clever work of Miss Margaret Deane who owing to the sudden Illness of Miss Halliday took the leading lady’s part of Iris and rendered an admirable performance considering her extreme youth and the I’act that she had appeared on Buch Bhort notice Before Gerald left the city for a tour in the south he signed a contract with the Sterling Stock Company for the next season When the members of the company assem-Ieto be cast for the play which was to be produced at the opening of the season the new manager turned to f Gerald ’I want you to meet Miss Deane who will play opposite to you Mr Morrison” he said "The introduction is scarcely necessary” responded that young lady in a freezing tone of voice "I have had the honor of meeting Mr Morrison before” "Our acquaintance was rather short” remarked Gerald "I am happy n being able to resume it so soon” Miss Deane merely bowed and was silent They met constantly at re L DOYLE O Cbapmaa) hearsals and Gerald was surprised and annoyed at the hauteur and disdain with which he was treated by the girl whom a few short months ago he had looked upon as little mor than a child”" There were moments when ae thought he could detect a little more cordiality in her tone or glance but any encouragement thus derived was quickly overbalanced by her coldness if he presumed on He overtook her one morning as they left the thea- it ter "Our ways seem to lie in the same direction may I accompany you?” he asked somewhat timidly "No thank you” she answered indifferently Despite his repulse Gerald who by this time was willing to admit to himself that he was really in love with her continued to seek Margaret’s One morning on his way society to rehearsal he noticed in a florist’s window a pretty bunch of Marguerites Acting on the impulse of the moment he purchased them and on arriving at the theater sent them to Miss Deane’s dressing room When she stepped on the stage she carried the box containing the flowers in her hand "Some foolish person sent me these” she remarked to the company who stood around her "I am not particularly fond of Marguerites as they remind me too much of my own name which I have the misfortune to dislike Won’t you all help yourselves? I might not be so generous if they were roses” As the ladles present availed them-- ' selves of the invitation and pinned clusters of the pretty blossoms on their gowns Gerald received a defiant little glance from Margaret that con- vinced him that she had discovered the donor and that her dislike for Marguerites was of recent and sudden The dress rehearsal which growth took place on the night preceding the presentation of the piece in public was a long one and it was nearly one o’clock when the weary performers Maremerged from the stage door garet Deane felt decidedly nervous as she walked along the lonely cross streets which were practically deserted Every footfall in the distance made her start and when she fancied she heard a cautious step behind her as of some one following in her track her heart beat painfully She glanced hastily back and caught sight of the tall form of a man who was evidently watching her She hastened forward breathlessly conscious all the time that her pursuer was also hurrying on At last the thought of calling a policeman entered her mind but there was none in sight A light in the window of a house close at hand caught her eye and she decided to appeal to the inmates for aid Mounting the steps she was horrified to hear the rapid approach of her pursuer’s feet close behind her Desperately she reached for toe bell and was about to pull it when ' a familiar voice said: “Do you wish to see anybody here? I have a latch key handy” "Gerald! Mr Morrison” almost screamed Margaret in surprise and Immense relief "Is it really you? I thought It was some awful highwayman following me Oh I am so glad!” “So am I” said Gerald earnestly “glad because the barriers are broken down between us even if you were a little bit frightened You foolish child did you imagine that I would allow you to wander through the streets alone at this time of night? And of course Fate ordained that you should run up here where I live Now I am going to see you borne” Margaret slipped her little hand confidingly through his arm and they started off together “I was horrid to you Gerald” she said falterlngly ' "but I never will be again” During the following week the an- nouncement was made in theatrical circles of the engagement of Margaret Deane leading lady of the Sterling Stock Company to Gerald Morrison "Queer” commented the stage manager "I thought she hated that chap but you never can tell I suppose she was in love with him all the time” Locust Plagues History mentions many pestilences caused by the decaying bodies of dead On one occasion locusts so man locusts perished off the coast of Africa ' that a bank four or five feet high and 50 miles long was formed on the shore by their dead bodies and the stench of them reached inland for 150 miles In another part of Africa early in the Christian era a plague of locusts is said to have caused the death of persons and In 691 nearly as bad a plague occurred in Italy |
