AEROPLANES FOR BATTLESrllPB.j
AO aeroplane costs $5,000. An ar
tttrtd cruiser coiU $5,000,000. The
feast of our armored emitters, the Ten-j
aeiseos and the Montana, have been
rendered obsolete by the Inflexible
stud the Von der Tann. Nor are we
."building now ones to succeed them.
Therefore the aeroplane, a an adjunct
to the battleship, become a mutter
ml Interest, both tactically and econom
ically. The coming attempt of an
aeroplane to fly from the deck of an
ocean ateamer back to New York hor
ror U a matter of prime moment.
Though the fedoral government haa
'rescinded the order detailing torpedo
3oaU to assist In the experiment, the
-xavy department will keep official
watch on It. The result of this experi
ment may determine whether the
saaal authorities will equip the next
yew battleship with an aeroplane and
ah necessary facilities for making a
(Bight from the ship's deck while at
ore. The adrent of the battleship
yrulter has made our best cruisers
nothing but scouts, and not rapid ones,
aya the Chicago Record Uorald. Yet
fthe cost of their maintenance Is at--jEKMt
that of a dreadnought If the
teroplane can perform scout duty at
tea the cost of constructing and main
taining our navy will be Immensely
traduced. This new application of
ronautlcs to naval warfare seems, at
present, a delicate and difficult mat
Aaar. It will require expert aviators
Aboard ship and highly favorable con
tMtlons all around. Yet skilled and
flaring flyers are rapidly Increasing In
(number and the ability to cope with
rled atmospbarlo conditions Is de
veloping to match.
' Showing American agricultural prod
oct alongside those of England and
Scotland in those two countries may
mat strike many as promising valu
able results to our people. But In
other ways there seem to be opportu
nities. John N. McCuun. our consul
at Glangow, writes that be considers
Jtt a great mistake that American farm
iand dairy outfits are not on exhibition
tat the farmers' weekly market in
much Scotch towns as Kilmarnock,
iKIrkcudbrlght and other places of like
character. It appears that the ex--eeUence
of such devices Is their own
commendation. The inventivs Amer
Hcaa mind has gone very far In con
triving apparatus which economizes
alma and effort and increases effi
ciency, as the use of such appliances
Qwrra has demonstrated. Th old world
fcaa been slower, but the Scotch are
sralca to perceive advantages such as
U American outfits assure, and Con
ami McCunn's hint might be taken
with advantage to ail concerned.

ly wounded. Twenty-seven passen

ter the express ear, but devoted their
entire attention to the Pullman,
where they mad.? a rich haul among
tho California - bound passengers,
holding the train for more than an
hour. The train proceeded westward.
No passengers escaped the robbers,
and the trainmen also lost their
money and jewelry.

ningham advised the superinten
dent's olflce at this place of the hold
up. The sherltT and police depart-1
ment were Immediately notified and

men In charge of his companion and
started through the train from the

one down and wounded another. A

stopping at every berth and making
a deliberate search. After complet
ing their work the robbers drove
away In a vehicle.
About four miles from Reese they
met two girls, who were returning
home from a dance. One of the rob
hers very politely requested them to
hand over their purses and to "beat
It." Although frightened, the girls
succeeded In getting a good descrlp
tlon of the bandits, which tallied
with that furnished by the passen
gers and train crew. After robbing
the two girls, the daughters of Blah
op Wayment, of the Mormon Church,
at Warren, the highwaymen drove to
