Santos-Dumont ferred to the fact that many people seemed to have got the Idea that he had altogether abandoned steerable balloons. "Nothing could be more incorrect," said the famous Brazilian. "If I am not able to compete with an aero plane in the contest from Paris to London I shall very probably build a steerable balloon for the purpose. Of course, I would rather employ an aeroplane, because I believe the fut ure of aerial navigation lies with these instruments. But if the rules are against me I shall certainly go back to the dirigible, not without some feeling of satisfaction." One former believer In the Wright brothers has Just confessed his faith In them badly shaken. This Is Cap tain Perber, a French officer and a specialist in aeronautics, who has JuBt published an article about the Wrights, which appears to indicate a certain scepticism. He scoffs at the price demanded by the brothers from foreign governments for a machine, which, after the flight made by M. Santos-Dumont in public without se crecy or mystery, is not worth more than a twentieth part of what they demand. Furthermore, he points out that the success of the Wrights' machine is nowhere unlmpeachably registered. Thus they may possibly derive neith er profit nor glory from their ma chine, as the prolonged flight of oue of the many aeroplanes now being constructed In Europe would cast the brothers In the shade forever. r Ait Xcronautlcol Institute. Significant of the attention being paid to the subject of aerial naviga tion is the fact that the French Aero Club has founded a technical branch, called the Aero Club Institute. Its objects are to encourage study by aeronauts, to arrange lectures and demonstrations, to enable members to compete for prizes arranged by the parent institution, to examine re ports on proposals for practical avia tion and to form an aeronautical li brary. Prizes offered for model flying ma chines are attracting the members' attention. Certain conditions are also put - down, among them being the weight of the model, which must not be heavier than fifty pounds nor less than twenty pounds when in flight, and the length of the journey, which must not be less than fifty feet. No entrance fee will be charged. The judges reserve the right to experiment with the model, both under cover and in flight. If a practicable flying machine is not evolved in the present encourag ing conditions the problem may well be given up as unsolvable. Legislation Under Way. The Dutch Government, however, Is bo convinced that the day of aerial navigation is dawning that it is be ginning to legislate on the subject A new law under consideration In the Dutch Parliament prohibits the de scent of aeroplanes and flying ma chines of any kind on Dutch terri tory under a penalty of $200 or three months' Imprisonment. The Aerophile, official organ of the French Aero Club, pokes fun at the proposed law, particularly at a clause which stipulates that balloons cross ing above Holland must obey the sig nals of local authorities to descend. What is the penalty it they refuse to come down is not stated. Perhaps the Dutch police will be provided with aeroplanes with which to pursue recalcitrant balloonists. The education of policemen is getting very complicated, for they are ex pected to be experts In Jiu Jitsu, good shots, good bicyclists, good automo bilits and, if the Dutch project be comes a law, they may have to learn how to arrest a balloon In midair.

A pile of empty cigar boxes reached nearly to the celling in a .Main street cigar store. "We're giving them away for kind ling wood," the dealer said. "There is no market for empty cigar boxes. Cigar factories pay two cents or more apiece for them, and when once used they are worthless. The Government places a revenue stamp upon them and specifies that they shall not be used again for cigars. As a result thousands are burned every day. Some of them are pretty, too, and all are perfectly made." Kansas City Star. - A Robin's Chirrup.

I y HARRIS. 1 The celebrated "Smyrna cai let" is not made in Smyrna; it is a product of the vilayet of Aidln, of which Smyrna Is the capital. The chief places of the manufacture are the villages of Uschak, Koule, Ghlardts, Makrl, Melossos, Klrkagatsch, Axar and Demlrdjl. The Industry gives employment to thousands of needy people, especially women, who are obliged to do the work almost entire ly, while the men spend their time in the coffee houses drinking strong cof fee and smoking numberless cigar ettes, all in true Oriental fashion. Little girls are compelled to take up the work early, at seven or ten years of age at the latest, and they keep at it unceasingly until they go to their graves. The market for the wools is held every Thursday from dawn to sunset In the bazaar of Uschak, which Is then filled with purchasers who have arrived on buffaloes, camels, donkeys and other picturesque beasts of bur den. The spun wools are not dyed by the weavers themselves but by special dyers. More than 3000 female weavers are employed at Uschak In the prepa ration of carpets. The operators are generally members of the same fam ily, but there are a number of girls who earn about six to seven cents per day. The Ghlardls carpets are generally smaller than those of Uschak. Very fine prayer carpets, closely woven and of harmonious col ors, are produced in Imitation of the Persian carpets. The carpets are made Into bales of 280 pounds each and covered with goatskins. The caravans pass the night in the open country at the foot of some hill, the drivers under tents and the camels and their loads In the open air. Very large carpets, too heavy to be packed, are folded and thrown across the backs of the cam els in the form of a covering. When the carpets arrive in Smyrna they are spread out, beaten, broomed and re packed in bales weighing 500 to 600 pounds each for exportation. WISE WORDS. A lazy man is a dead loss to him self. A tight man and a loose dog are equally dangerous. Even a blind man can see trou&e without much difficulty. It's about all some people can do to keep from being done. Experience teaches us how to make other kinds of mistakes. Graft often goes about disguised as a business opportunity. While man wants but little here below he never gets quite enough. Some men make It their business to Interfere with the business of others. It isn't always the people who Jol ly you the most that are your best friends. It Is difficult to greet misfortune with a smile when it Is always frowning. Women love secrets because of the pleasure they derive from letting them escape. It sometimes happens that when an actor finds things coming his way he tries to dodge them. Instead of throwing stones people who live In glass houBes should grow violets at a dollar a bunch. A man's Idea of good luck is any odd kind that leaves him a few dol lars ahead of the other fellow's game. When a woman Is' sick she takes a good deal of pride in thinking of the miserable life her husband would lead if she were dead. From "Pointed Paragraphs," in the Chic ago News. Thrown From Earth. That in the early history of this world the moon was thrown into space from the present site of the Pa cific Ocean is explained by Professor William Pickering, of the astronomi cal department of Harvard, in 4he University of Chicago's Journal of Geology. The explanation is accompanied by maps and measurements of the earth's surface as it Is to-day and as it probably was when in a gaseous and later in a molten state, and from these, according to the professor, it is quite easy to see that, granting that the moon was thrown off from tfte earth, it could have come from no other source. A comparison of the specific gravity of the earth and of the moon also shows that the earth must have disposed of the moon in this manner. That made more room for water, the professor says, otherwise modern men would all be deep water fishes. - Fate of the Eagle. ' "War" eagles In unusual numbers have appeared in the neighborhood of Kaw City. The plumes and feath ers of these eagles are highly prized by the Osage and other reservation Indians. "Shorty" Boyd, of Kaw City, killed two eagles Jast week and sold them to an Osage for $16.r Kansas City Times. Carries It to Extremes.

There is many a smoker puffing along in a dissatisfied way with cigars that do not suit him-simply because he does not look after his own interests when he buys cigars. Every day hundreds of thousands of smokers all over the country are buying cigars that are not yoorth half what is paid for them simply because there are still some smokers who will take chances on the cigars they buy. What can you expect when you buy some irresponsible brand ? How can you hope to get good cigars when you meekly take what is handed to you without getting any definite assurance of value ? When you get a poor cigar you will probably remember the name and steer clear of that brand for ever after, but how can you prevent being stuck with other cigars made by the same manufacturer ? Don't you see that the whole trouble is that you do not know who makes the cigars you smoke ? The only way to be sure of get ting honest value is to buy only the cigars that are guaranteed by' their manufacturer. Those cigars are the brands guaranteed by the 1 Triangle A merit mark stamped on the box. If you will only look for the Triangle, A on the box whenever you buy cigars, you can be sure of getting your money's worth every ' time you buy.
