der of canvas, stretched on a frame of wood. This rudder is controlled by the navigator and may be moved to either side, raised and lowered. The weight of the machine, including the body of the aviator, is a little more than 700 pounds. In the center is the navigator's car, below which is the engine. The machine is driven By a pair of screw propellers placed just behind the wings, The power is suppliel by a gasoline motor designed by the Wrights.

Several years ago the Wright brothers established a workshop at Kitty Hawk. One day in the fall of 1901 they brought out a frail looking thing, carried it to the top of a hill, and one of them got inside. The other gave the machine a push, and it shot out into space. For 300 feet It glided like a bird and settled slowly to the ground. It was not a flying machine they were experimenting with then; it was simply an aeroplane or what was to be the body of the airship.

When everything was ready Orville Wright gave the machine a push, the engine was started, and the flier moved down the incline. As the propeller underneath increased its revolutions the machine rose steadily until it reached a height of sixty feet. Then, pushed by the rear THE INVENTORS OF THE AEROPLANE. propeller, the machine went ahead in the teeth of the wind, the operator being able to direct its flight at will and finally landing without difficulty or injury to the machine. Wilbur and OrPille Wright are expert mechanics of Dayton, and have been experimenting with flying machines for the past four years.

They are the sons of Bishop Wright of the United Brethren church. In building their flier the Wright brothers have followed to some extent the work of Lilienthal, Pilcher and Octave Chanut, but they have gone much further than these experts in using greater surfaces and especially in changing the position of the operator. By so arranging their machine that the operator lies in a horizontal position instead of standing upright the wind resistance is reduced from five feet to one, and square Is saved. a full half horsepower Speaking of his invention, Mr. Orrille Wright said that he and his brother, after twenty-four years of work, have succeeded in flying machine.

He stated perfecting a that the most successful test at was made recently Kitty Hawk. Mr. Wright declined to discuss the details of the construction of his machine, as he has not as his tests, but yet completed stated that his flier was kept aflost in the air method by its peculiar of construction and also by the tor operation of a gasoline mocontinuous which turns a huge propeller. Without the use of the motor he stated the machine would descend as soon as its momentum was exhausted. OF ANCIENT LINEAGE.

Reed Smoot, United States senator from Utah, whom the ministerial alliance of Salt Lake City and the women of the country are trying to have expelled from congress on the ground that he is a polygamist, has a loyal defender in his wife--the only one he has, she says--and she adds that he is the best husband in the world.

Tibet is ruled by Buddhist priests, or lamas, and religion enters largely into the everyday life of the people. One of the pecallar features of Budechism as practiced by the Tibetans is the use of prager wheels.

The wheel TIBETAN LAMA TURNING HIS PRAYER: WHEEL. usually consists of a small cylinder of metal fixed on an axle, which serves as a handie. The cylinder contains strips of paper on which prayers and incantations have been written by the lamas, and revolving them is supposed to confer benefits on the whirler. Besides the hand wheels, praying water wheels are also used. Sven Hedin in his book tells of seeing 3 shed in which were forty-four red prayer wheels forming a square of eleven on each side.

Below them was a notched device so arranged that the devotee by pulling his hand along could walk round and round, turning the whole lot with but little effort. One of the Tibetan's modes of revenge is to secure his enemy's prayer wheel and turn it in the opposite direction from that used in praying. This is considered a deadly insult and is supposed to inflict great injury on the owner of the wheel. Fun of the College Boys NE more slight touch ard it would be finished. Horrors! A false stroke!
