AUTOMOBILE VS. AIRSHIP.
Automobile Club and Aeronautical
Society May Consolidate.
NEW YORK, K. Y, December 29.
The automobile may now become a
vehicle for the common people. The
aristocrats of the automobile world
have taken to flying machines. The
Aotu nobiV Club of America has con
f'uded an arrangement with the
Aeronautical Society for the use of
the old Morris Park race course for
experiments with heavier-than-air
machines. Henceforth the idle young
millionaire, instead of endangering
his neck in a 200 horsepower racing
machine, will find excitement in tests
f (kill and daring up among the
elouds, or as near to the clouds as his
Sying machine will carry him.
. Automobile manufacturers can only
view this departure with alarm. They
lave not forgotten what happened to
th bicycle industry when the fash
ionable world abandoned the wheel
for the motor. Alert bicycle manu
facturers who discerned the trend of
the times converted their bicycle
plants into automobile manufactories
It will now be up to the automobile
manufactures to begin making flying
machines. All this is very beneficial
to the new science of aerial naviga
tion, and there appear, no reason why
the public should have an inclination
to complain. When the millionaires
jiiit demanding higher and higher
priced machines the manufacturers
will be compelled to turn their atten
tions to the making of good ma
chines which may be sold to people
in moderate circumstances at reason
able prices. The racing automobile h
the highest priced machine now made,
and about the least useful. If the
time and talent which go into the
making of racing machines were de
voted to producing machines of more
practical use, the public would be
bound to be the gainer. The danger
is that this talent will be drafted for
the production of racing air machines.

A glass of cu!d water slowly sipped

this connection It may not be out of
place to mention that sipping cold wa
ter will often allay the craving for al
cohol In those who have been In the
habit of taking too much of It and
may be endeavoring to refefrm, the
iffect being probably due to the stimu

An Impertinent Question.
A young man hurriedly entered a
restaurant and sat down at the table
nearest the kitchen. With shuffling
feet the waitress advanced.
"Have you frog legs?" the young
man anxiously Inquired.
"No, Indeed. Rheumatism makes me
walk like this," the waitress Indignant

RELIGIOUS ACROBATS.
Dangerous Atrial Slid. Annually Per
formed In India.
India offers many curious things In
the way of religion, and the strangest
of them all is the aerial slide, which is
performed annually at Kulu, In the
Himalayas. At a point where there Is
a clil overhanging a precipitous gorge
several hundred feet In width and a
hundred feet in depth a rope Is wade
fast to the rock. The other end of thi
U carried across the gorge and there
secured to a stake. The total length
of the rope between the two poiuts is
when drawn taut 2,500 feet, and the
eud attached to the cliff Is several hun
dred feet higher than that fastened ou
the opposite side of the ravine. Thus
a Elide Is cootrired, and It Is a danger
ous one to nil aniearance. -
It Is dowu this Incline that the per
former has his path. For the lo.' .:
journey a sort of saddle Is provided
made of wood, with boles in It, through
which the rnpe passes. But before a
start Is made the whole length of the
rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from
catching fire from the friction. The
performer sits astride this seat, and to
his legs are fastened bags of saud,
which serve two purposes they euable
him to mnlntalu an upright position
during his llghtnlng-Uke descent, and
they Increase the momentum. The
lower end of the rope Is carefully
wound with bits of carpet to check the
speed . lefore the stake is resched.
Without this precaution the performer
would be dashed to pieces.
The terrific velocity of the descent
for the first few hundred yards Is
shown by the stream of smoke that
trails from the wake of the saddle, de
spite the fact that the rope has been
wet. Afterward the Incline diminishes
somewhat, and the pace becomes corre
spondingly slower. By the time the
goal Is reached the Jherl, as the per
former Is called, Is able to come to a
standstill without disaster.
This slide in the air Is supposed to
reveal the will of the gods as to the
crops of the approaching season. If
the perilous trip Is accomplished la
safety a plentiful harvest Is assured.
Naturally, therefore, every care Is tak
en to minimize the dangers of the per
formance. The ceremony Is of ancient
origin, and those who engage In It as
Jherl form a small caste apart New

The Emperer Maximianus Could Lift
Thro Men With On Hand Augus
tus the Strong of Saxony Carried a
Hore and Its Rider on Hit Baok.
Curiously enough, a large perceutags
of the notably strong men of history
have been of royal blood. One of the
earliest of these royal athletes was
Maxlmuiuus, called "Maximianus Her
cules" 'becauxe of bis great strength.
He was the son of a peasant and bad
an enormous physique. He became a
common soldier and was finally mad
emperor by acclaim of his fellow sol
diers during a stormy period of Ro
man history.
Maximianus' strength was prodi
gious. It was said that on foot be
could run down a fox, that b could
lift three men with one band and that
by gripping the wheel of a chariot
with one ringer be could resist the pnll
of three horses. Like most men of
great physical strength, Maximianus
was a heavy eater. History records
that his dully allowance was forty
pounds of meat and eighteen bottles of
wine.
Augustus the Strong of Saxony was
another of these royal Samsons. H
would often seize two of his courtiers,
grasping one with his right band and
another with his left, holding them up
at arm's length and playfully twirling
them about. . ,;
On one occasion the horse ridden by
one of bis attendants became balky
and refused to bud.'jo. After some min
utes of coaxing the king dismounted,
placed his Herculean shoulder under
the horse's chest, grasping it by the
fore legs, aud calmly walked away
with both horse and rider. This re
markable performance was witnessed
by a number of courtiers and attend
ants.. , .., . . i. ' ,
King ltkhard of England ("Coeur tie
Lion"; bad tremeudous strength. Dur
ing bis captivity in Germany, be gave
a terrible demonstration of bis physical
powers. The son of one of the ward
ens was a youth locally renowned for
bis muscular strength aud in his as
surance Invited the royal captive to nu
exchange of buffets. The young man
by a cast of the dice, won the right to
the first stroke and struck tho king a
staggering' blow pu the side, of the
head. It was then the king's turn, and
he landed a blow Just behind bis op
ponent's car so heavy that the man'
was Instnntli: Wiled. .. .
This ImTJtuit Is used In 61r Walter
Scott's futmma historical novel "Ivan
hoe." where King Richard, tha "Black
Knight,", and the Jolly outlaw Friar
Tuk bsve an exchange of buffets,
without, however, any fatal result.
Din Pedro I., emperor of BrasQ, Is
also on the list of royal strong men.
Ou the occasion of a carnival be ar
ranged matters so that be was stand
ing on the Ixiw of the royal barge be
tween two of his stateliest courtiers.
Suddenly In the midst of tb festivities
the king reached out, grasped a court
ier with each hand, and, after holding
them for a few moments squirming In
the sir and begging to be released, t
relaxed his grip and allowed thsm to
drop plump Into the water, amid the
frantic applause of tb bug crowd
that hsd assembled to view their mon
arch. The king joined heartily In tb
general hilarity, but what tb drenched
courtiers thought about this exquisite
Joke Is not recorded.
Peter the Great of Russia, Ilk Char
lemagne, possessed great physical at
welt as mental power. His years of
work as blacksmith and ship carpen
ter had so developed a naturally pow
erful physique that be was believed to
be the strongest man In Russia.
The story is told that a certain
blacksmith In a little country town bad
boasted that he was th only black
smith In the world who could lift his
own anvil. The emperor, bearing of
the blacksmith's boast, disguised him
self as a workman and with a single
companion set out for tha blacksmith's
village, On learning of their errand
the blacksmith, without a word laid
aside bis tools and. grasping th anvil
with hts brawny bands, lifted It with
great effort about a foot from the floor.
Tben Peter took hold of . the anvil,
raised it a foot, two feet, three, higher
and higher, tfll be Anally swung It to
bis shoulder and calmly walked away
with It. ,,. ,
Charlemagne was said to be the most
powerful man physically of his time.
One of bis favorite feats of strength
was to break the heaviest horseshoe by
gripping It with one hand. -
A worthy successor of Peter the
Great was the late Czar Aloxander III.,
who was one of the strongest men lo
tb world. He was often called "the
Russian Barnson." Tb czar's regular
visiting card was a Russian coin some
what larger than our silver quarter,
which be would bond almost double
with his powerful fingers.
Alexander was also fond of breaking
horseshoes, and it Is said be never
found one he could not break In two.
Ho could take two fresh packs of cards
and by gripping tbo ends with bis
hands tear them straight down through
the middle. . .
It Is said that on one occasion a wo
mun companion expressed a wish for o
bnuipict bolder in which to place n
large bunch of rones. The czar took n
pewtflj tankard from a table nearby
and with a row motemsuu of nts pow
