CENTRE HALL PA
COMMERCIAL AVIATION.
Carrying passengers and freight in
pirships as a definite transportation
enterprise is perhaps a long way off,
but significant of the faith of men in
the possibilities of commercial avia-
tion is the formal incorporation of a
company in New Jersey for this pur-
pose, says the Washington Herald.
The expressed intention of the incor
porators set forth in the articles of
incoration is the “building and opera-
tion of and the carriage of passengers
and freight in aeroplanes.” As fre-
quenily pointed out, the science snd
practice of aviation is making remark-
able progress. By means of the diri-
gible airship and the hydro-aeroplane
experts have begun to see that it will
be possible some time to use the air
a8 a means of transit, much as the
earth is now employed for that pur:
pose. As bearing upon the question
of realizing this end, it 1s only nececs-
sary to consider that the evolution of
the locomotive and steamship has been
slow; that it has taken many years
to bring the trolley car to perfection,
and that the automobile is at least a
quarter of a century old as a practical
road machine Fast as the alrmer
bave progressed with their Invention
and experiments, we need not expect
much greater advancement in a less
period of time than has been the case
with vehicles running on land and
through the seas
The entire property of Illinois 1s re-
ported to be $2,318,333,241. If that
were divided among the people each
one would get $411.11. Where in ten
years from now would that per capita
be? It would undoubtedly undergo
& great change. A few men would
have $500,000 of it, a few more $100,-
000 of it; many more $50,000, and so
on until we get to the point where
very many men wouldn't have 15
cents. How can we account for this
wonderful change? For various rea
sons. Some men are smarter than
others, some more diligent, some more
frugal, some more temperate. These
facts can explain why this $411 per
capita has disappeared. While the
circumstances, the environment, the
vicissitude may account for some of
the change, most of the change can be
referred to the man himself
acter, his habit, his disposition, his
appetite—under the influences of
which, if bad, that $411 vanishes snd
reappears in the hands of the man
who has been sober, diligent, frugal
and wide awake

Gossip In Great Britain continues to
wag its tongue over the reported cool
ness between King George and tlhe
Gaekwar of Baroda. The story per
eists that at the durbar everyone was
astonished at the Gaekwar's appear
ance in a black frock coat, while the
other princes wore thelr native robes
and marvelous gems. The queen, It
is sald, gave the Gaekwar a frozen
stare and the king merely nodded.
The Caekwar responded-with a curter
nod, turned his back and made a dis-
tinct grimace. It is asserted that his
punishment, aside from forcing an
apology, will be that of cutting down
his royal salute of twenty-one guns
and classing him as a second-rate
ruler. Anglo-Indians consider this
dangerous, and believe the Incident
would better have been ignored, on
account of the Gaekwar's great wealth
and popularity among his subjects.
Urotropin is the name of the drug
which Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rock-
efeller Institute of Medical Research
declares to be an antidote for infan-
tiie paralysis. The dread disease has
carried off thousands of victims, and
if Dr. Flexner's cure proves to be all
that is claimed for it, that alone will
entitle the doctor and the Rockefeller
institute to be famous for all time to
come.
