RECORDS OF PATENT OFFICE These Disclose Seventy-Five Per Cent of Success of Aviation Depends on Nerve and Wit. Washington.—Multifarious as are the new devices that are being ap plied to the navigation of the a:r, in connection with the present day activ ity in that sport, none has been or is likely to be found to take the place of brains in the aviator. This is the opinion of James' H. Colwell, the pa ten: office expert, who has immediate charge of all flying machine inventios and who has given personal attention | io almost every application for a pa I tent in that line. Summing up his views he said, sententiously: "Ten per cent of the success of every aerial flight is due to the ma chine, 15 per cent to the motor and 75 per cent to the man. The man of in decision, poo* judgment, weak nerves or slow judgment is as much out oi place in an airship as a defective mo tor.” Airship invention has received a I stirring impetus within the last few years, and there is no more reliable index to this activity than that dis played by the records of the United States patent office. It began with the first exhibitions by the Wright brothers off the North Carolina coast and has increased in geometric ratio since that time, with the consequence that up to date about 3,000 patents have been issued on these machines themselves or on devices connected with them. The bureau is now hand ling an average of about ninety cases ; a month. Motive Power important. The airship inventions have been | assigned to this division largely be cause of the fact that the method of propulsion is the mGSt important part of aerial navigation. The patent office regards as established the principles of the plane in this method of transit and as a consequence of the general recognition of this fact, the inventive .ggniqs of the world is now concentrat ing its attention largely upon the mo tive power. Airship in War. Inventions looking to the use of the airship in time of war also are pour ing into the office, as are counter in ventions which contemplate protec tion against them. As the patent of fice views the situation, the difficulty in using the aeroplane for dropping projectiles is found in the uncertainty which must necessarily accompany such effort. With a machine going from fifty to seventy-five miles an hour, as most of them do. it is ex tremely difficult to direct a projectile so as to insure its striking the mark, even though that mark be a battleship or an extensive fortification. Pender Girl is Kidneped. Lincoln.—Grace Rolph. 17 years old, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Rolph, a well known Pender, Neb., family who have been spending the summer on a ranch near Checey.

CHICAGO BOY IS LOCKED III A CHICKEN COOP TO SLEEP MOTHER ADOPTS THIS PLAN OF KEEPING CHILD SAFELY WHILE SHE'S AWAY. Chicago.—Robbie Effort, five years old. was dragged forth, tired, cold and sleepy, by two policemen from a chick en coop filled with chickens in the rear of 4610 Warwick avenue, this city, where, it was said, he had been locked in by his mother to sleep while she went out to spend the even ing with friends. The little fellow was sound asleep, when discovered by the officers, upon a piece of burlap and an old skirt, which the neighbors had thrown over the fence to keep him warm. "What are you doing Find Boy in a Coop. here?" asked the policeman. "Mamma told me to sleep wif the little chick ens.” replied the little chap, rubbing 1 his eyes sleepily and shivering with i he cold. He still clung to the precious skirt and the old piece of burlap was found to be still warm from contact vish the little sleeper's body. He was taken to the Thirty-sixth precinct po : ice station and turned over to the iuvenile officer. Neighbors called up the police station and informed the sergeant that the boy was locked in , he chicken coop, and officers were sent to investigate. The boy's father is a waiter and works nights in a ! downtown hotel. When arraigned the woman confessed that she had flocked her son in a chicken coop in the back yard while she spent 12 hours from home. She told the court it had been her practise to lock the child in the chicken coop because she thought he would be safer there during her ab sence. She was fined $23. LEOPARD WAS ONLY A WOLF Missouri Girl’s Description of Scrub Animal Causes Neighborhood Army to Kill It. Kansas City, Mo.—For a few days Kansas City supposed that it was be ing terrorized by a ferocious leopard, but it turned out to be only a scrub gray wolf, a good deal more fright ened than frightful. Its identification and extinction were brought about by 20 men armed with a great assortment of weapons and about a thousand humans bearing no arms but making much noise. It was after several chickens and dogs had met untimely ends that a lit tle girl ran upon the wolf in one of Kansas City's famous ravines. It snapped at her. by way of informing her that it wished her to go away. She went home and told her mother: that a terrible animal had attacked her. The neighbors were called in and from the description of the beast given by the little girl it was conclud ed that it was probably an icthyosau ms or maybe worse. It was finally identified as a leopard. A hunt was or ganized and everybody in the Holly street neighborhood took part. They made so much fuss about it that the wolf came out of hiding to see what the trouble was. The 1,020 took after him and he ran up on the roof of Joseph Carey s house. The 20 fired a volley and the thousand shout ed. and the wolf died. It may have been the bullets and it may have been the noise that was fatal. HUNGRY BIRDS ATTACK BAKER Driver Kills a Score of Them Defend ing Himself and His Load of Bread. Chester, Pa.—When Thomas Wil son. driver of a Philadelphia bakery wagon, stopped to water his horses, an route to this city, he was attacked by a flock of hundreds of blackbirds, which flew upon him. pecking at his hair and eyes and making a general onslaught on his cargo of bread. Wilson used the butt of his whip to fight off the birds, killing and crippling a score of them. A dosen or more of the blackbirds were taken Irom the wagon after it reached Ches ter. Wilson thinks the birds were i prompted by hunger. Marries His Niece. St. Louis.—Charles M.
