MISTAKES ,; C? SCIENTISTS
f sradty and Airy Mad Errors About
iubmarlne Catla and Nswctmb
About Asroplants.
Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro
nouncement against gas lighting Is
not the only Instance of a clever scien
tist being hopelessly wrong. The
early history of submarine cabling
furnleh3 two striking examples. Con
sulted on the scientific side of the
project, Faraday asserted that the first
cables were made too small. Theu ho
said that ''the larger the wire, the
more electricity would be required to
charge It;" and In this quite wrong
opicion he was supported by other
niluent electricians. As a result of
this dictum the current was increased
until the operation literally "electro
cuted" the wire and the cable broke
down. It was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy ca
bles with incredibly weak electric cur
rents proved that Faraday was mis
taken. Sir O. B. Airy submitted the pro
ject to mathematics and arrived at
the conclusion that a cable could not
be submerged to the necessary depth,
and that If It could no recognizable
signal could ever travel from Ireland
to Nova Scotia. In aviation Professor
Newcomb, one of the cleverest math
ematicians America has produced,
who died last year, declared that he
had matematically Investigated all
the conditions operating against the
heavier than air machine and was con
vinced that the aeroplane would never
be more than a scientific toy; and the
possibility of an aeroplane motor be

EYE NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH
Oculist's Second Attempt Procures for
Him Decoration From Haitien
Emperor.
During the reign of Emperor Sou
lougue In Haiti one of his generals
wrote to an eminent oculist In Paris
ordering a glass eye. The oculist flat
tered himself that a successfully con
structed artificial optic would secure
for him a decoration of honor by the
Hatian government; accordingly, he
devoted his entire skill to the produc
tion of a work of art.
Six months after the shipment of
the eye to Haiti, the oculist received a
small box from Haiti. In his imagina
tion he pictured the golden testimonial
to his skill, so It was with horror that,
when he had unwound the folds of cot
ton in the box, he saw returned his
work of art. A letter accompanied the
box. Among other things It said:
"The eye you have forwarded me Is
of a tint that resembles that of the
Spanish flag, and I am tco patriotic to
wear any but the color of my coun
try." Whereupon the oculist proceeded at
once to the admiralty, where he ascer
tained the colors of the Haitian flag.
He then Immediately manufactured a
scarlet and green eye, of the approved
shades, and forwarded It to the em
peror, who was much pleased with the
effort and who duly decoratad the oci

COUNTRY IS
Metropolis of America to Hold Its First Annual "Land
Show" Next November Exhibit Products of Nation
(Special Correspondence.) I
For the first time in its history the
metropolis of America is to have a
"land show.' and no event scheduled
for 1911 will be of greater interest to
the Atlantic seaboard or of more Ini-
nortance to the entire country than!
the American Land and Irrigation
Kxposition to be held in New York
City November 3 to 12.
Seven millions of people living on
and near Manhattan Island are to
have their first opportunity to witness
an exhibit of the products and re-
sources of the soil. Incredible as it
may seen to the rural dweller, there
are hundreds of thousands of citizens
of New York and adjacent territory
who know absolutely nothing of the
agricultural resources of the states
that support them nor of the oppor I
tunities for gainirg a comfortable and
independent livelihood from the soil
Here in the port of entry for a mil-
lion immigrants yearly, a large per-
centage of whom are seeking land

Mr. Stilwell at once authorized his
interviewer, Mr. Gilbert McClurg, who
had directed the national Irrigation

MODEST T0M3 Or GARIBALDI
Expressed Desire of Italian Patriot
Disregarded After Death by
Friends and Relations.
There Is In Caprera a peculiar scent
of resin and Incense baked In the sun,
and It is precisely this sun, not as In
Africa, which brings out the aroma of
the lentlsk of the low-growing pines
and of the myrtles, says the Glasgow
Herald.
The pungent perfume of theBe
Island shrubs explains the desire ex
pressed by Garibaldi In all his wills
(not excepting the last In 1877) to
have his body burned on a funeral
pile of the wood of the Island "before
letting any one know of his decease,"
In the open air, his face turned to the
sun like Pompeius, and then to have
the ashes placed In the wall behind
the tomb of his little grandchildren,
Anita and Roslta, and beneath the
shade of a leafy acacia.
But when he died, his will was dis
regarded by friends and relations, and
against this profanation Giosne Car-
duccl, the greatest of modern Italian
poets, has protested a protest ap
proved by the most eminent men of
Bclence and of the democracy. Thus
the body of the hero was embalmed
and placed In a tomb covered by an
enormous block of Caprera granite
and inscribed on It only the name,
Garibaldi.
A tomb worthy Indeed of the hera.
and which reminds the visitor of the
modest grave of Gladstone's father In
the little cemetery at Lelth, near
Edinburgh. Garibaldi's resting place
Is in an olive wood between the gen
eral's house and the seashore. Five
other tombs surround his now, those
of Menottl and Maulo, his eldest and
his youngest sons; of his daughter
Teresita, wife of General Canzio. and
of Rosita and Anita, A sailor of the
Italian navy mounts guard at the
tomb.
In his home at Caprera Garibaldi
rose very early In the morning and
with his hat well pulled down over
his eyes proceeded by a tiny footpath
to a prominence and thence admired
the wide view of sea and horizon.
After his morning walk he returned
home In a cheerful frame of mind,
had a kind word for everybody and
went with the peasants to look after
the cultivation of his fields.
During the last years of his life, be
ing crippled hand and- foot by arthri
tis, he seldom left his-room, but he
sat with the windows open and the
sparrows hopped in and took food
from his hand. On his deathbed he
had the windows opened to let two lit
tle tame tomtits Into his room. He
generally dined at noon, then played
a game of draughts; after that he dic
tated his correspondence or some
lines from memory, retired to bed at
9 and there read his favorite authors.
Both Strangers.
A convivial person from somewhere

a banquet In this city, where the sons
of a certain county had made merry.

Presently, as the convivial gentle
man was swaying on his heels, anoth
er well-reefed person came along, and,
after the manner of ships in distress,
hove to alongside and regarded the
light of the lamp post with the first
man.
"Wash trouble, ol' fel'?" asked the
newcomer.

one, wnar 1 wan t Know s tnisn; isn
