Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinner
have always been a feature of ber
social program during the winter. The
only plea against them Is that diners
seriously object to twins: defrsuded,
even If ever so skilfully, luto believing
they are eating meat, patties and cro
quettes, when, )n act, they are eating
"Just veBotaLlei."
This particular dinner In honor of
delegates to the food congress was
voted a distinct success. Those who
were Incljded In Mrs. Henderson's In
vitations declared that bad they not
known tho exact character of

would have been convince, that vari

ana ingenuity of Mrs. Hendersons
famous chef who had utilized meat In
a strange but most alluring manner.

Mrs. Henderson arranged one of her
celebrated vegetarian dlaners In order
to prove the strength of nor theory.
Some amusemont was caused by the
declination; of a prominent politician

Gay Tarts has Just been startled by
the apparition of a gigantic person
"whining along the Champs Elysees
at the rate of twenty-live miles an
hour." He was not on horseback, ac
cording to the Washington I'ost,
neither was he in an auto. He simply
stood up straight on his own legs, and
tho only unusual thing connected with
his appearance consisted of a pair of
Imracnso boots. He didn't walk. He
never lifted either foot from the pave
ment He simply carried himself erect
and "fairly flew."
Subsequent Inquiry developed aev
cral Interesting facts. Fastened to the
soles of the tall stranger's boots were
tiny automobiles, with rubber tires
eight Inches In diameter, and In a belt
worn about his walat were "accumu
lators" of one and a quarter horse

means ot wires. Thus equipped, me

In other words, this astonishing but

Invented the long-looked for and much-
feared "motor boot" - As a matter of
fact his device will enable the Indl

capital at a frightful rate of speed, and,

A HOLLAXD AIRSHIP,
Is
Inventor of Sub-Marine Boat
Working on One that Will Fly.
The report comes from New York
that John P. Holland, the Inventor of
the submarine boat, is about to give
to the public an Invention ot a flying
machine said to be of as perfect a
construction as the submarine bearing
his name. Mr. Holland has been work
ing on flying machines for nearly
twelve years, during which time four
models-have been constructed and de
stroyed on account of their Imperfec
tions. He Is now working on the fifth
model, which he believes will be made
to fly. This latter model weighs only
thirty pounds. It la arranged to be
trapped to the back of the person de
siring to soar in the air. There will
be two vertical arms crossing at right
angles with the axis and two pairs of
wings; these are to vibrate in oppo
site directions. One pair of wings will
be placed at the back of the head and
the other pair near the waist They
are of light steel construction, weigh
ing about a pound each. In speaking
of bis Invention. Mr. Holland said:
"Any man who walks three miles an
hour can easily fly the same distance
in ten minutes with my Invention and
I do not consider that statement an
exaggeration.
"1 have taken birds as my pattern.
With this machine men will be able
to fly on the same principle as a bird
flys. If a cog breaks or something
else goes wrong, or if he becomes ex
haunted and the propelling ceases.
there will be no danger, for be will be
able to descend gently to the earth and
land easily upon his leet
Mr. Holland discounts the course
talcn by a number of flying machine
experts who use a combination of bal
loon and aeroplane. This form, be be
lieves, will never become practical for
aerial navigation because be considers
the gas bag offers too much resistance
to the air, and, on the other hand, be
lieves that flying machines and the
aeroplane idea the latter of the Lang-
ley class will be the real means of
navigation oi the air in the future. He
expressed his belief that with the new
Holland airship he will be able to fly
from New York to W asbington to at
tend the next presidential inaugura
tion and get back home the same
night It Is bis Intention to make ex
ocrlments with bis machine next

Idea that the red man la merely a white

Since he became Indian Commis

eral ot the schools a teacher who bu-
nervises the study of native music.
The duties of this teacher are to lead
the Indian back to the sublime and
oatrlotlc thoughts of his forefathers.

natural logician, a natural artist We
have room for all three In our highly
organized social system. Let us not

Facta About Henry Hudson.
Why should an Englishman who re
ceived by baptism the name of Henry
be dubbed Hendrlk? For more than
half a century Americans have been
writing and saying "Hendrlk Hudson."
This habit without a legitimate foun
dation, has been emphasized alresn re
cently In the "Hendrlk Hudson Me
morial Bridge" and the "Hendrlk Hud
son Intercentenary Committee,- me
only excuse that can be offered for us
ing the Dutch equivalent is tnat Henry
Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices on
one of his four voyages of discovery.
The Netherlands themselves knew him
only as "Henry" Hudson.
In 1859 Henry C. Murphy, while at
The Hague examining the old Dutch
records for data referring to Hudson,
found in the royal archives a Dutch
copy ot Hudson's contract with the di
rectors of the East India Company. The
document was appended to a manu-

VAXDERBILT'S XEW AUTO.
It la Planned to Make 150 Miles .an
Hour.
Mr. Alfred O. Vanderbilt Is having
constructed Becretly an automobile
which he hopes will be the fastest ma
chine in the world. He Is an automo
bile enthusiast and Is determined with
the aid ot the wealth at his command to
break the present record. The ma
chine which he is having built Is esti
mated to be capable of developing 152
miles an hour with 250 horsepower,
Such speed Is the equivalent of 213 feet
for every clock tick; it means a mue
In 23 2-5 seconds. The present mi'e
record is 82 4-5 seconds made by H. I
Powden, at Ormond Beach, Fla., last
February.
Should Mr. Vanderbilt be able to at
tain such extraordinary speed with this
automobile It will mean that it will go
faster than anything In the world
heretofore. The best time ever made
on a railroad was a mile In 30 seconds;
this was on the Plant System on a run
from Fleming to Jacksonville, Florida,
when five miles were covered at the
rate ot 120 miles per hour. Not only
will it go faster than the Bpeed ma
chines of to-day but the new automo
bile flyer promises to carry Its driver
faster than man has ever traveled be
fore in the world. In fact it is stated
that even tew birds could fly at such a
pace.

Considered from the modern educators'
point of view, the general educational
level of the country has unquestionably
risen many degrees, but with this as
sumed advance have come problems
until his death in 1706. The copy opens
thus:
"On the eighth day of January, in
the year of Our Lord one thousand Bix
hundred and nine, the Directors of the
East India Company of the Chamber of
Amsterdam, of the ten years reckoning,
on the one part, and Mr. Henry Hud
son, Englishman, or me
other part" Two or the signers were
Netherlanders; the third, "Henry"
Hudson. In both ceases the name was
spelled In plain English, "Henry.
Hudson knew bo little ot the Dutch
language that his conferences with the
Hollanders were conducted through the
medium of an interpreter.
No better time for correcting. this
absurd usage could be found than on
the eve ot the celebration of the anni
versary of Hudson's voyage to this part
of North America. Let the bridge to
be named after the English explorer be
the "Henry HudBon," or the "Hudson,"
but not the "Hendrlk" Hudson me
morial bridge. The committee has al
ready dropped the "Hendrlk" from Its
title and styled Itself slmpy "Tho Hud-
Uon Tercentenary Committee,"
The farmer of to-day finds an en
tirely different situation and a strong
and increasing competition. The vast
wilderness has been settled, and
through continual and often ignorant
and ill-advised tillage, the soil has
been depleted of - its fertility. While
agriculture has thusbeen retrograding
and the competition continually grow
ing keener but little has been done to
fit the farmer to cope with the chang
ing conditions. The average country
boy to-day receives a much better edu
cation, viewed by present educational
standards, than did his grand-iather,
yet it is along lines which help him
but little to maintain his position in
the country's development He learns
the very things which, instead of mak
ing him satisfied with the farm, im-
rcl him to leave It and seek occupation
la the centers of population. The
farm boy who receives a common
school or a high-Bchool education nat
urally turns toward the place where he
can best apply It His schooling nas
cot been such as would help him to
fa-m better, to make more money on
the farm or to make ot farming an In
teresting employment And bo he goes
to the city, to utilize his special knowl
edge. The trend of the country-raised
lad Is irresistibly In that direction.
while there Is no equalizing current im
pelling the young people of the cities to
fill his place In the country. Ana tne
city boy as he grows up and marries
would like to have a home of his own
on a piece of land, of course, but he
knows only the trade or profession tnat
he has learned. He knows nothing ot
farming and he would not know how
to make a living from a piece of land
If he had it It has often been said
that it is worse than useless to put
the poor of the great cities out In the -country,
because they will not stay
there. As a matter of fact, they can
not be expected to, for to them it is a
strange and barren story. The experi
