SCIENTIST STUDIES AIR
TO HELP OUT MAN BIRDS
PARIS, Dec. 18.—M. G. Eiffel, the.
well known engineer, is at present en
gaged in studying what he calls the
scientific laws of aviation. Until now
Hying machines have been built ana
worked in the dark, as it were, with
out any definite mathematical knowl
edge of the laws of the air. He be
lieves that by careful scientific ex
periments certain laws may be worked
out which will no longer leave the act
of flying as it is accomplished at i>n's
ent v mere acrobatic teat.
The laws of the resistance of the air
in given circumstances and ;it given
angles <m a given surface OUght, ae
cordlng to him, to be scientifically
Known, so that a machine of certain
dimensions and with a certain amount
of essence and motor power ought to
be able to accomplish a certain flight
which could be calculated in advance
and which would no longer depend
merely on the ability of the pilot.
Aeroplanes thus constructed ought
to be able to fly in all winds ana
weather conditions, except in a hurri
cane, nnd a number of instruments
should lie added to guide working with
mathematical precision. M. Eiffel has
already submitted a preliminary study
which'will be examined by the Acad
emy of Science.

POSSE KILLS ROBBER
IN RUNNING FIGHT
Bandits Overpower Small Boys
Who Attempt to Take Them
Prisoners
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., Dec. 18.— |
After a running battle between three j
robbers who looted a general merchan
dise store at Clifton, six mllea from i
here, early this morning and a posse ;
one of the robbers was killed and the |
other two captured.
A clerk who had been bound and '
gagged by the robbers was found this
morning and a posse started in pursuit
o! the robbers, but lost the trail. Four
small boys who were hunting rabbits
three mites south of t'lifton discovered
the robbers in a deserted dugout.
Three of the boys covered the robbers
with their small caliber ritles while the
fourth went for help.
Before the officers arrived the rob
bers succeeded in making the three
boys prisoners and forced them to carry
a portion of the stolon goods eight
miles. When the posse overtook them
each of the robbers seized a boy and
used him as a shield to protect him
from the fire of the pursuers, mean
while keeping up a running fire with
ins revolver.
■\V. H. Harrison, father of two of the
captured boys, and leader of the posse,
took a desperate chance and shot one
of the robbers who was holding Harri
son's son before him through the head,
killing him Instantly. The other rob
bers then surrendered.
EXPERT TELLS OF WASTE
IN MANUFACTURE OF COKE
Richard Molidenke Says U. S. Is
Behind in Europe
WASHINGTON, Dec. IS.—"Probably
In no other Industry, unless in the
mining of coal itself, is there so much
waste as in the manufacture of fur-
nace and foundry coke," says Richard
Molldenke, a recognized authority on
the coke industry, in a bulletin issued
today by the bureau of mines.
One of the principal causes, he said,
is the use of the old beehive type of
oven, which allows the by products,
mieh as tar, surplus, ammonia products
and benzol, to escape. Basing his es
timate on the figures of the coke pro
duction in 1907 Mr. Molldenke says that
approximately the net loss traceable to
this cause in that year was $38,000,000.
The change from the beehive to the
by-prod urt plant will be slow, he says,
ns in addition to un enormous invest
ment it requires a "systematic devel
opment of the markets to take up the
tar, surplus gas, ammonia products
and benzol that will be made as the
newer installations are built.
"We are far behind Europe in this
respect," he declares.
COLLEGE STUDENTS ACT

DISASTERS TO AVIATORS
ARE FEW IN PERCENTAGE
M. Soreau of Paris Discusses
Records of Air Competitors
PARIS, Dec. 18.—The percentage of aemplana
accidents In relation to the number of aviators
ami the mileage covered by them lias been
proved by M. Poreau to be considerably less
than is generally assumed to bo the case. Lec
turing before a meeting of the civil engineers,
M. Soreau stated that up to November I the
aviation oemmittee of the Aero club of Franc,,
had delivered 271 (lying licenses. Taking all
countries, tii« number of pilots nnd pupils
was about 500, and the percentage of persons
killed was six.
"But," added 11. Soreau, "in order to esti
mate the risks we must also take into account
the distances covered, which may be set down
at an aggregate of 126,000 miles for nil the
aeroplanes In the world. This gives us one
fatal accident for every 4375 miles, and It
must lie borne in mind that this Includes
aeroplanes, which frequently hitherto have
been nothing but experimental machines, and
that lu.-roiilunc'S are not yet perfect."
in M, Soreau's opinion the moat important
problem In dealing with the transformation
of the ijj'Orliiig aeroplane Into a transport
aeroplane li the Bolutlon of the question of th,e
landing of fast machines.

Nature Fakers! Lend Your
Ear; Canine Asks for Beer
BERLIN, Dec. IS.—The German public has lately been regaled with talcs
of the Increased accomplishments of Don, a talking dog.
For five years Don, who la the property of Herr Ebers, a gamekeeper of
the royal hunting preserves of Kolbltz-Letzllnger, near Hamburg, has been
noted for his powers of speech. He began to learn at the age of 6 months,
and now has a useful if limited vocabulary. Details of the ilog's career and
accomplishments are provided by such reputable newsprpers as tho Uerlln
Tagellche Rundschau and the Hamburg Premdonblatt.
When the puppy Don was standing by his master's side at dlnnertlmo
one day Herr Ebers said, "You want something, do you?" To everyone's
amazement Don replied In a deep but clear tone, "Haben, haben!" ("Want,
want!")
Tho gamekeeper at once started to develop the dog's talent. In reply to
"What is your name?" he learne dto say, "Don," and to "What's the mat
ter? " he answers, "Hunger." He came to say "Kuchen" (cakes) with par
ticular "distinctness. When cakes aro in view he repeats, "Kuchen, haben,
harii-n!" nny number of times, and if his plea is unanswered he adds "Hun
ger!" with a long-drawn emphasis on the last syllable. Don also has learned
to ask for beer, which is his favorite beverage.
Those who hear tho dog talk for the first time are often half frightened,
so uncanny is the Impression. One day Don wandered into the kitchen of a
working woman who was slicing sausages. He exclaimed. "Don—hunger
want!" The housewife, after a moment's stupefaction, dashed from the room
in a fright, leaving the sausages for Don.
LAUNDRY MISSING;
COLLEGIAN WAILS
Wellesley Girl Drops Into Poetry
to Tell of Hole in
Stocking '
/ _
WEL.LESL.EY, Mass., Dec. 18.—
Poets who send forth Inspiring strains
to their sweethearts' eyes or those
who dilate In poetic symphonies on
the individual or collective charms of
whatever their fancy may dictate, as
"To a Shirt" and other such pathetic
ballads, may have nothing on Miss
Wellesley when it comes to hard pan
us a poetess. '
While Kipling and other minor
leaguers in the realms of poetry may
not recognize a rival worthy of their
steel residing temporarily in the classic
shades of Wellesley, it la not at all
uncertain that ...ey will soon have to
scamper to their workshops and have
a .run on their think tanks in order
to grind out new material and save
their reputation and fame from sink
i ing into the slough of oblivion.
The Wellesley poetess after sparring
for wind with a strawberry uundae
unleashed the following and gayly
roundelayed, "I don't cure If you never
come back."
Here is the motif: Miss Wellesley
felt as untidy as a lump of coal in a
box of chalk. Her laundry hadn't
come. She couldn't find her stockings.
Her gloves were torn or missing. She
borrowed (?) from her roommate's
stock.
She was so fussed up that she "writ"
a "pome" about It. The News pub
lished it without expurgation. Here
it is:
Reception at 4. and I've cot to dress.
Oh, my goodness, what a .mess!
I wish my wash would —look there!
My last clean stockings a hole-y pair.
1 haven't a thing but a tailored waist,
And that would hardly be good taste.
I can't decide what suit to wear—
Simply haven't gf>t time to sew that tear
Where my heel went through—and as for a
hat.
Say, Morse, I'd look perfectly ripping In
that!
Ijet mo try It on. Ah, that's settled at lust!
At least one trouble's a thins of the past.
And now for my gloves— (Oil, where in the
deuce
Is Nan's »lov« box? Say, what's the use
Of a roommate that never has any clothes?)
Oh, here they are, right under my nose.
There's a hole in one thumb, but I'll put
up a bluff
And keep mv hand Inside my muff.

MERRY DEL VAL WILL NOT
QUIT, SAYS CHURCH ORGAN
Rumors of Break with Pope De
clared to Be Groundless
VIENNA, Den. IS.—The leading
clerical organ, the "Vaterlanil," de
clares that Cardinal Merry del Val en
joys the undlmlnlihed confidence of
the pope, and that the only basis for
the rumors o fthe impending resigna
tion of the papal secretary of state is
the fact that several of the elder car
dinals, especially Cardinal Rampolln,
are again taking a more active part
in the work of the secretariat.
This, conclude! the "Vaterland,"
need not, howiver, he a proof that the
pope's confidence in Cardinal Merry
del Val has decreased, but may be
explained simply by the necessity of
taking counsel with experienced men
in view of the present difficulties of
papal diplomacy.
This statement, wblch is believed to
( .mo from the papal nunciature here,
strengthens the impression prevailing
In Vienna that the rumors have some
foundation.

SOCIETY PREDICTS
GREAT DISASTERS
Experience Leads Red Cross to
Expect Six Calamities Dur
ing the Next Year
(Spoclal to The Herald)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18.—Six big
disasters will occur in the United States
on 1911. This is not the prediction of
an astrologer but of the American Red
Cross, the organization which conducts
a larger work of relief among people
stricken by great calamities than any
other agency in the world. Experience
has led the Red Cross io expect an
average of five or six serious disasters
in this country every year. It lloes'
not know where or when they will oc
cur, or whether they will be caused by
storm, or tire, or Hood, or earthquake,
or explosion. But it is sure that they
will happen, Just as one may be sure.
that fifteen persons of every thousand
now living will die in the next twelve
months.
World wide service to humanity was
shown in reports presented at the re
cent national meeting of the American
Red Cross in Washington. This or
ganization, of which President Taft is
the president, is recognized by the
federal government as the offirial chan
nel for the conduct of relief work
wherever in the United States people
suffer from the results of great calam
ities. But the Rod Cross does not con
fine itself to relief operations in this
country. Its field Is the world.
ItKlDlilis SUPPORT PKKDICTION
Kxperlence proves not only that an
average of five or six disasters, severe
enough to call for Red Cross help, may
be expected to occur every year In the
United States, but that the demands
from other countries may be expected
to be equally numerous!. Some Idea of
the character and variety of these de
mands may be gained from the disas
ters with which the Red Cross dealt in
the last twelve months. These in
cluded, in the United States, one hur
ricane, one mine fire, two 'mine ex
plosions and forest fires In Idaho, Mon
tana, Oregon, Washington and Min
nesota; in foreign countries, relief of
starving captured soldiers in Nicara
gua, Hoods in Mexico, Prance, Servia
and Japan, the Armenian massacres
and the earthquake in Costa Rica.
In the disasters above mentioned
which occurred in the United States
506 lives were lost, while, approxi
mately, 7300 persons requii-ed imme
diate assistance. About 6000 persons
lost their homes by tire or hurricane.
The money expended by the Red Cross
in these relief operations in the United
States was JJ9COOO, and in foreign
countries $K6,r>oo, a total of 1262,500.
Other relief funds expended in this
country in conjunction with those of
lh>; Red Cross and according to its
plans and methods amounted to $218,
--! 000, making the grand total relief ex
' penditures of the year under Red Cross
leadership $4SO.iiOO.
