practicability of several machines portland july lowith two airships already on the grounds and a series of nights and contests scheduled tor an early date the prospects of successful demonstrations at the lewis and dark exposition of the practicability of aerial navigation are exceedingly bright captain T S baldwin inventor of the california arrow the only successful airship at st auls last summer is in charge of the contests at portland which for the first time have been put upon a practical financial basis so as to avoid all unnecessary flukes the two airships now bloused in the aerodrome on the aeronautic concourse at the fair are the angelus which was designed by captain baldwin and built by him in portland and a machine of which charles B K nox a prominent gelatine gelat lne manufacturer of johnstown N Y is the inventor both machines are built after tha mod el of captain baldvins baldwins Bald wins arro but differ in important details of construction the machines have gas bags tor lifting power and the propelling machinery rests on an open framework composed of three long light beams braced frequently by cross pieces the framework is of triangular cross section the aeronaut while running the machine stands on on of the lower i beams while the airships are steered to the right or left by means of a rudder like that on a boat the upward and downward direction Is obtained by changing the balance of the cratt this being accomplished by the aeronaut moving forward or backward along the beam captain baldwinn Baldwin 8 machine lias a shaped bag of pongee silk ga feet long by 22 feet in diameter and haa a capacity ot cubic feet the framework and engine weigh 21 pounds oregon spruce was used exclusively clu in the construction 0 the frame as this wood according to captain baldwin is the lightest and strongest known the motive force for tee craft is furnished by a seven and a halt horsepower horse power two cylinder four cycle gasoline motor which is situated near the forward end the propeller which consists of two blades similar to deose used in water navigation Is located at the forward end and pulls the airship after it this Is done so that the air current engendered may be used to cool the engine the rudder which sticks out behind like th etall of a ansh Is operated by steering ropes lincoln beachy or afan francisco has been engaged as aeronaut in the knox machine which i in charge of george C an aeronaut of syracuse N Y the gas bag Is 41 feet longhand 19 12 1 2 feet in diameter and shaped likman elongated egg machine has a propeller with disc shaped blades which he claims is a distinct advantage and he has his engine moved forward of the center of gravity this enables the aeronaut to ba nearh ls engine all the time engine Is a cylinder five horsepower horse power machine captain baldwin who has charge of the nights and contests at the fair haa agreed to furnish twenty accents ascents during the exposition period which continues until october IS and it weather conditions permit he win give wo exhibitions a week weather conditions at portland are far superior 1 to those at ab louis strong winds being quite infrequent and on this account it for no other it ts thought that the airship may meet with success the arrangements are also much superior and the of starting on the shore ot guilds lake in the western part 10 the grounds is an ideal one it s planned that tha airs hiris shall describe a A y i i course over the city of portland circle the observation tower on portland heights and return to the starting place captain baldwin who is probably be foremost aerial navigation expert in the united states has been working on the problem of aerial navigation for a quarter of a century originally a tight wire walker he became interest ed in balloon ascensions and conceived and worked out the idea of the parachute leap he was also tor some time a well known baseball magnate the captain is affable and talks interestingly es of his business 1 I be surprised it some of these young fellows would beat me out he said tomlinson has a good ship and he may turn the trick I 1 think we are going to have some good contests anyway TEACH FARMING TO MEN OF rider haggard will start school foi future settlers in canada london july 11 canada has made the magnificent offer of acres for city and aldee haggard the celebrated novelist has been maturing a scheme of national land settlement after exhaustive inquiries into the salvation army colonies in the united states and at hadleigh the result ot his negotiations has been this splendid offer which has come from tha canadian government and which seems to me to promise the best hope for the settlement of the question of the unemployed in this country of which I 1 have yet heard there is of course nothing more foolish than to imagine that it ia possible to take a man who has worked ia the slums and suddenly turn him loose to develop a new country mr rider haggard has fully faced this fact and the idea of establishing schools of agriculture here where men can first of all arrive at some knowledge of country life and be trained in choso qualities which they will most need and in which they are likely to be lacking affords the best solution for one of our most pressing problems the salvation army colony at had leigh has given a good example of what can be done there men taken among the most hopeless loafers ot city life have been trained into good strong persevering workmen and provided the atmosphere maintained in these agricultural labor colonies Is I 1 as pure and wholesome as that of the salvation army farm endless good may be accomplished in the future the three conditions which mr haggard insists upon as absolutely essential are sufficient capital at moderate interest careful selection of settlers and la nd and skilled and sympathetic management of both after settlements london has been given back her waterway the procession of boats from westminster to greenwich by which the prince of wales inaugurated the new steamboat steam boa t service of the london county council was a significant event in the old days the thames has seen her pageant of stately barges the merchantman merchantmen merchant men the prince the noble all borne upon her waters to fulfill their various callings or destination so the procession of boats the other day was not picturesque but eminently practical the prince paid his coin at the turnstile as the first passenger of tha new road and accompanied by his little boys stepped on board the steamer cheers floated over the water flags fluttered banda played and the great city of london towered above it all the dome of st pauls rising grim and gray against he stormy eky then the tower of london gave forth her welcome note of the sound oi a booming gun answered by the salute of twenty one guns at greenwich which was the princes destination there he mounted the tramcar which had been painted in blue and white and wreathed with ropes of leaves and returned over the historic westminster bridge and this was the work mens way opened by river and by car a way which will often make his daily toil easier and his road brighter CATHOLICS ON pilgrimage new york july 11 A party of roman catholics on an american catholic pilgrimage to rome sailed today tor italy
