SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION
(Special to Tho Citizen.)
Washington, May 21. When ono
consilium the tremendous interest
that attaches to aviation, and tho
rato at which tho sport, or sclenco
If you prefer, Is spreading. It must
bo admitted that it Is suro to form
ono of tho chief sources of Interest
at the great San Diego Exposition In
191'G, where Curtlss, tho eminent
Inventor and acroplonlst, will bo In
charge of all aviation events and
exhibits.
It scarcely seems possible that It Is
but sixteen years since Professor
Langley of the Smithsonian Institu
tion caused tho Ilrst illght, tho Ilrst
lllght In the history of tho world,
by a heavler-than-air machine.
"Langley Day" was celebrated by tho
Washington Aero Club on May Gth
at tho Chevy Chase Club, In tho
suburbs of Washington, just sixteen
years after Langley's machine had
.made Its Ilrst lllght at WIdewater,
Va., a"bout thirty miles below Wash
ington on the Potomac. Tho recog
nized obstacle in those days to avia
tion was the lack of a light engine.
Prof. Langley constructed ono which
weighed seven pounds and develop
ed 1 3-4 horse-power, and with the
aid of this engine his piano flow a
distance of more than half a mile,
and Alexander Graham Hell photo
graphed the machine in lllght. Af
terward, at tho request of the War
Department. Prof. Langley made a
man-carrying machine, but after two
attempts to launch It he gave up the
attempt because of lack of funds and
public ridicule. Doing very sensi
tive, the scientist gave up public
demonstrations.
Aviation on Firm Footing.
With thousands of aeroplanes in
commission and in daily use in Eu
rope, Asia, Africa and America, and
with a Pekin to Paris contest being
promoted by a French newspaper' for
54 0,000 in prizes, the science of
aviation is now on a firm footing.
It is some distance in the future,
but the flight promoted by the San
Diego Exposition from Panama to
San Diego, to carry the official an
nouncement of the opening of tho
Panama Canal, Is attracting a good
deal of attention. Ely, the lament
ed aviator who gave his life to the
science, had announced that he
would enter that race.
In the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington there are a number of
Interesting exhibits In connection
with the history of aviation, includ
ing Prof. Langley's machine, and tho
lirst aeroplane bought by the United
States Government, a Wright bi
plane. The first Curtiss hydroplane
will also probably be added as well
as many other articles interesting
in the history of aviation. Col. D.
C. Collier. President of the San
Diego Exposition, and also president
of the San Diego Aviation Society,
will arrange If possible for tho loan
of this collection, and for as com
plete an exhibit of aviation appara
tus as can be secured.
Milk, Honey, Wine and Oil.
In the Scriptures the limit of
prodigal abundance was represented
by a land overflowing with milk and
honey, and the great staples of life
were "corn, wine and oil."
In tho 'Palestine of the Now World
there are milk, honey, corn, wino
and oil in abundance; also thero are
figs, dates, oranges, lemons, grape
fruit, raisins, table grapes, melons,
pomegranates, persimmons as big
as oranges, and so many other pro
ducts of field, orchard and vineyard
that one would but be wearisome
if he tried to enumerate them.
Without doubt tho millions who
visit the Pacific Coast to see tho San
Diego and San Francisco Expositions
will be as greatly interested In the
wonderful country they will And, as
In the handiwork of man exhibited
in the exposition buildings. South
California, wherever it has been
tilled, is a garden of magnificent
productiveness, beautiful in Its
flower bedecked landscape and be
wildering In the wealth of Its un
numbered resources.
Prophesies Fullilled.
"Some day," said the first man
landed on tho shore of San Diego,
"some day there will be a magnifi
cent city on this bay, and ships fly
ing the flags of every maritime na
tion in the world will He at anchor
there." '
lEvery man since that first one,
and It matters not what his name or
nation, has said practically tho
same thing; but many years havo
passed while the prophesy was being
fulfilled.
Thero is now a magnificent, in
tensely enterprising city on the
shores of San Diego Hay, ibut tho
bay Itself still lacks a few of the
foreign flags which should bo seen
there. Even this part of the -prophesy
is soon to be 'fulfilled, for before
the gates of the Dig Exposition shall
open on the last day of 1914. tho
Panama Canal vill have been com
pleted and thrown open, and though
its artiflcal embankments will pass
a procession of ships from every
clime, bearing tho products of
looms, mills, and farms to be ex
changed for the varied products of
tho Pacific coast. And these ships
will also 'bo bringing thousands and
thousands of the best blood and
brawn of tho old world to settle In
the most healthful and delightful
portion of the new, bealdo many
other thousands who shall come
simply to see tho Exposition and tho
great State of California, and her
sister States of tho Pacific coast.
Near .Mexican Influence.
Washington has had Its official
eye on San Diego and tho west Mexi
can coast for several weeks past.
San Diego is tho olty nearest tho
border of Mexico on tho western
coast. On tho Pacific coast of Low
er California, a barren peninsula,
tho Papaneso aro roported to havo
secured fishing and other concessions
covering a strip of lnnd 700 miles
long. From San Diego, too, a U. S.
Army transport has gone to Mexico
to tako on board refugees who wish
to leavo tho war-troubled republic.
Tho Administration in Washington
does not antlclpato war with 'Mex
ico, but tho situation Is a difficult
ono and groat caro ma bo needed
to provont an outbreak, especially
along tho border. It Is not believed
that tho Mexican situation can havo
the least effect on the work of
building tho great Panama Exposi
tion at San iDIogo. indeed, that
work Is being prosecuted, Washing
ton hears, with extraordinary vigor.
Hut still, whllo affairs aro so unset
tled In Mexico, tho Government will
continue to take a dcop Interost In
San Diego, whore, under certain
readily Imagined circumstances,
thero might bo a alrgo military and
naval depot maintained.

illarrisburg. In n bulletin Just Is
sued, tho Stato Department of Agrl
culturo estimates that tho total
vnluo of tho poultry of Pennsylvania
Is $30,000,000 a year. "If each
hen within tho State could bo mado
to lay only ono more dozen winter
eggs, at an averago prlco of 33 1-3
cents per dozen, the return would
bo yearly about $30,000,000," says
the bulletin.
Attention is called to tho fact
that tho census figures show that
poultry mado tho greatest increase
in value of any farm product be
tween the census years of 1900 and
1010. "And yet," says the bulletin,
"the largest Increase In both num
ber and value of tho poultry has un
doubtedly been among tho village,
town and city poultry people within
this period. The census took no ac
count whatever of this poultry. If
there nre some 200,000 farms keep
ing poultry there aro certainly sever
al times that number of people keep
try in the towns, and If the average
size of the town flock Is not as
large as tho farm flock, tho total
number is likely to bo as largo and
of as much value."
Statistics quoted In the bulletin
show that tho domestic animals on
Pennsylvania farms are valued at
5141.371,000. Poultry is valued at
57.G74.000, a gain ot 71.2 per cent.
In value since 1P00. The gain In
numbers is 15.2 per cent. Of

aro keeping poultry. There are
11.81t5.903 chickens, valued at 57,
020,000, averaging GO cents each.
The averago number to a farm Is G8.
Other figures are as follows: 40,
12G farms have 1G3.777 ducks,
valued at 5114,000; 13,300 farms
havo 4G.31S geese, valued at 56G,
500; 24,025 farms havo 111,715
guinea fowls, valued at 54S.200, and
G1G1 farms have pigeons valued at
5111,000.
The bulletin reports that chicken
raising has proved so attractive in
the city that it has stimulated the
growing of fancy and improved
stock in the country districts, and
resulted also In heavy Importations.
FI1SH AT HOYIIS MILLS.
A more complete account of the
fire, which disstroyed a couple of
barns on the Wood farm near Boyds
Mills last Monday, is given below.
The following article is contributed:
About 1:30 p. m. on iMonday af
ternoon, iMay 13, two large barns
and a shed were entirely destroyed
by lire, the different members of the
family having returned to their
work after dinner, did not discover
the lire until too lato to save any
thing. Mrs. Wood and daughter,
Arbutus, had Just gone to their work
on the other side of the house from
which tho barn stood. On looking
out of a window they saw a great
cloud of black smoke. 'Mrs. Wood
at once rushed down stairs and,
found the one barn all In flames; by
that time Mr. Wood and boys were
coming from their work as fast as
possible and in less than five min
utes there were about 30 of tho
neighbors who had come to help
but could do nothing but watch It
burn to tho ground. Two of the
small boys were missing when Mr.
Wood came and In his excitement
to find thorn, supposing them to pe
in the flames, did not think of his
horse until it was aflro in the part
where tho horso was. Both barns
had concrete basements and a silo
attached. The fire seemed to spread
from the one barn through tho shed
into the barn whero tho wagons were
in such speed that it was almost Im
possible to save anything except a
road wagon which Mr. Wood run
out while looking for tho children.
Tho (Implements which wero burned
aro as follows: One two-seated can
opy top surrey, one two-seated plat
form canopy top wagon, ono top
buggy, two Portland cutters, ono
buckboard wagon, ono road cart, two
light harnesses, ono double light
harness, mowing machine, steam en
gine, 28-foot lnsllago carrier, ono
set of platform scales, ono threshing
machine, horse power, nearly new,
blacksmith's drilling machine, horse
blankets and robe nearly new, hay
fork and carrier and ISOfeet or now
hay rope, a quantity of hay and
grain, ono flve-year-old road horso, a
' large veal calf, and various other
j things too numerous to mention.
1 Mr. Wood estimates his loss at about
$2,000 ubovo tho Insurance. It Is
hard to say whother Mr. Wood will
ever havo his barns In as good a
shape as tho ones that burned down
or not, as they certainly wero In as
good siiapo ns one could want. Tho
Insurance on the barns was JG50,
and 5200 Insurance on tho contents.

Boston run: "I spent just nine weeks
In training for the race.
"I did a great deal of walking during
tho first two weeks of my training. 1
did this to harden every muscle in mj
body.
"After my muscles were hardened I
did plenty of running. I would run
live miles at a rapid pace and then
walk five miles and then run five more
miles, this time at a slow Jog.
"In five weeks I was in splendid con
dition, nnd I devoted the rest of my
time to putting up speed. While train'
lng I never attempt to go over tho full
Marathon distance In fast time.
"I did not arrange any schedule be
fore the race. I believe that It Is
ridiculous for a Marathon runner to
plan out every movement before the
race starts. It Is best to map out one's
campaign while tho race Is on
"Concerning dieting, I eat what food
I liko as long as It Is good and whole
some. "I do not eat a great deal of meat
while training. It Is not because I
think it is not good, but because I do
not care for it. My favorite dlsii is

very nutritious and give a man almost
superhuman strength If eaten often.

By Mary It. Burnett.
Wnyinnrt, Pa.
Off tho shores ot far Newfound
land; one April's cloudless night,
camo to view the gloomy destiny,
that doomed tho great .Titanic.
Little wero her expectations; ns
she sailed in majesty; that death oh,
death, the strong invader, was soon
to claim her for his own.
Tho human mind will never nicture.
nor pen ' describe, tho woeful scones
of mental anguish, that befell those
victims there.
This calamity will reecho clown
tho ages, and many tongues will re
late the eventful history of destruc
tion that styled tho great Titanic.
Now they reposo In tho deepest,
and beautiful Is their peace, but the
world is shrouded In dense dark
ness, for those who are left to
mourn.
The hymn that will live forever
new; is "Nearer My God to Thee,"
and ne'er will It be forgotten on land
or on sea, as tho farewell greeting to
all.
