tomical drawings for physicians and
surgeons who require such in deliver

books. To the outsider the work at
once carries grewsome suggestions. Un
doubtedly it is an odd occupation for a
woman to choose. Miss Elkins, so far
as can be discovered, is the only Ameri

idea of grewsomeness is- almost lost.

dinarily, a person hears a story about
an airship or. a flying machine with a
good deal of scepticism, but when one
is confronted with evidence in the shape
of the machine in actual operation, it
is difficult not to believe. And that is
the sort of evidence that was provided I
for thousands of persons just two
weeks ago-Saturday, who were so for

World" rose proudly and intelligently
into the air, or who chanced to be some

Brooklyn to New York city, back to
Long Island and thence to Yonkers,

trip was made pursuant to a set design
of the World reporter, who operated the
machine. It was no foolhardy venture,
and the outcome could hardly have been
made. little else has giving the whole machine a forward

bounded about the cage. "Turn tlie

"The case presented in last night's
paper of a reward of $10 being paid for
the return of 50 reminds rae of a simi
lar anecdote only different." said the
ancient New England member of the
club to a Utlca reporter. ";it happened
in Providence .(R. I.) forty years ago.
when the city contained but one mil
lionaire, who was an old Scotchman
named Alexander Duncan. One day
Mr. Duncan, in leaving his office,
dropped a large roll of bank notes in
the street. They escaped his-eye. but
not that of the small boy. who is around
everywhere, .and who pounced upon-the-bills
immediately. The roll contained
$300. When Mr. Duncan received it he
eagerly "counted the moury atad. finding
it correct, he turned to the boy and
said: 'I thank ye. my little main. Then,
noticing the look of dismay in the poor
lad's countenance, he felt in his trousers
pocket and fished -put a coin, which he
handed to the finder of his wealth. And
the coin represented what- dd you
hink?" - - .
"Five dollars r
"A dollar?" ;
" "A half dollar?"
"A quarter df a dollar?"
"Just half- of that. It was an old
Spanish coin- that we used to call a
ninepenec in New England and that
you would call a shilling in New York.
In other words, it was twelve and a half
cents which Alexander Duncan, the
millionaire of Providence, paid to- the
honest boy who found-and returned to
him 1500."

Mr. Gladstone was another gupst. I
think certainly he was on one of the
two or three trips then taken. There
was on board a' young English girl,
since married and- dead, whose beauty
and intelligence and charih were all
remarkable. Tennyson attached- him
self to this brilliant and sympathetic
creature. He was often asked to read,
and it became his habit to read holding
her hand, which, in the fervor of recita
tion, he often pressed. The ship put in

'What- do you mean? 'I mean that I
