Mexico City.— It was said on what

Monday that Provisional Bresident
Huerta had obtained from British
sources a loan sufficient to operate
the government until the end of the

The money, the
amount of which is not announced,
was procured, it is said, through the

the Pearson syndicate, which is said
to hold large oil concessions in the

are moved by the force of the eleo-
triclty; that la. they come together un
til the foroe of the opposite magnetls
power forces them apart, and the rep *
titlon of this operation Is called flight*
“ That certainly sounds simple," mur
mured the chancellor.
“ Now take the aerodromone,” con
tinued Santos. “ Through mechanical
inventions, and drynlth, we have Im
proved the bird’s method of flight. The
Improvement Is In the storing away of
unused magnetism. The more quickly
we fly, the more magnetism Is gath-
ersd by the machine." Santos pointed
to the front part of the machine on the
blueprint, calling the chancellor'! at
tention to the contrivance that gave
the machine the appearance of an
eagle. It was a large braas ball, cov
ered with a drynlth cap. Then he
pointed to a broad brass bar that ex-
tended over the entire top of the ma
chine; that bar was like a round
brush, and Its duty was to gather In
every little spark of electricity, and
store It In the brass collector. When
the Insulation was broken, a lightning
flash was sent out, directed at the will
of the air man. So long as the ma
chine was In motion there was always
plenty of electricity In tho collector,
ready to be sent out to cause destruc
tion to anything.
"W onderfulI" sighed tho count. "I
know what those sparks mean, I have
seen them In action.’’
"The simple machinery that Is built
Into every aerodromone Is to control
the flight and to start the wings. On
account of the extreme simplicity of
the mechanism and the tremendous
strength of drynlth, the aerodromone
Is, practically speaking, lndestruo
tibia.”
"But how can one machine capture
the other, or even fight the other, un
der these condition« 1 asked the count
anxiously.
"There are two ways In which a m *
chine may gain victory over the other.
One Is to disable the brain of tho m »
chine, that Is, the man behind tha
wheel."
“ How can that be done?” asked .the
count eagerly.
“ Clrynlth, as you know, Is harder
than anything except the diamond, so
I believe If hard steel bullets were
made with diamond points they would
penetrate the comparatively thin shell
of drynlth that defends the airman.
However, this ts only a theory. Ex
periments must show the advisability
of their manufacture."
“ What Is the other way?”
“ That Is a certain method, and Is
based on the laws of electricity that
seem to govern aerial navigation.’’
“ YVhat Is It?" asked the count. Impa
tiently, as Santos hesitated and looked
at Rosltta.
"It Is the same as when a boy takes
a piece of amber or any other sub
stance that can be magnetized and
lifts up a paper scrap. The quicker
airman has to maneuver so as to alight
on top of the hostile machine. The
lower machine then sticks to the up
per, like the paper to the amber, only
with such great force that It cannot
be released until the current Is stopped
and the necessary Insulation between
the opposing forces Is obtained."
“ But the wings of the lower machine
might strike the upper," remarked the
count.
"It looks that way,” answered San
to« wearily. It brought back the hap
py days In the service of Napoleon,
and his heart was heavy. “ But, as I
have mentioned, different laws prevail
In the air, totally different from the
laws that govern the land or water.
The atmospherical electricity has
qualities that cannot be Judged by our
present knowledge. It has to be ex
perimented with. Our trials on the
Island of Ciryne showed us that the
aerodromones do not Injure each
other; they might stick together, or
be hurled apart, but they are never
damaged.”
"Then you think, Mr. Duprel, that
you will be able to capture Edison’s
force?”
The little man cast an appealing
glance toward Rosltta; she looked him
straight In the eyes and encouraged
him. He said bravely:
"Mr. Edison Is a very formidable Ch
erny, but our improved machines will
give us the advantage, and besides,
we will have a larger fleet."
The count was satisfied and the
work under Santos' direction went on.
It took months before the factory was
In perfect shape, and the various psrts
were manufactured for the aerodro
mones.
They often wouuered that Napoleon
had not appeared to Interfere with
their work,

Ar* you afraid of the dark? There
isn't a chance of your seeing a ghost
if you are color blind, which may
furnlih you a ray of comfort for the
beautlee of landscape and floral deco
rations you may have missed during
your lifetime. Dr. August Lummer,
head of the University of Breslau, in
Germany, ts authority for this.
Dr. Lummer explains the phenom
enon in this way;
"The normal eye haa an arrange
ment of tiny roda and cones In the
retina. The rods perceive light and
the cones dark color. When a per
son with a normal eye tries to see
In a half dark place the cones, which
are useless, interfere with the effec
tive action of the rods, and the con
fusion creates the effect of apparitions
that come and go and change their
shapes. The color blind person lacks
the cones and his hoods with extraor
dinary efficiency In the dark. The
color blind person sees a clear, per
manent outline of things as long as
ther* la the least amount of light
present. That means that ha never
sees ghosts."
