throughout Europe and America realize

Here a groip of earnest yowls( wield-

by the.genius of D'r. Alexander araliena'
Bell, are working along origival lines,
and vhat they have already Accomplish -
en has caused men of the scientific
world to -watch the achievents with
keenest interest.
With its setting of (mean, lakes and
mountain Baddech "has for many years
bee ri a beautiful summer picture that
has drawn hundreds of Canadian and
Araerican touristhere, but when the
historia no the future undertake to tell
the true story of mechanical flight he
will doubtless find that here ou the
ehores of the Bras d'or Lakes were work-
ed out the most important.problems in
perfecting the practical flying machine.
The etory of the Baddeek School of
Aviation begnnewith the experiments of
D. Alexander Graham Bell here, sever-
al years ago. Ria estate, known as Beim;
Bhreagli (the Scotch for beautiful moun-
tain), is situated on Baddeck Bay, ad
iS one of tire raost roraantic spots in
Canada. With its sylvan walks, its tetra-
hedral tower and many evidences of
scientific, research, it has become the
Mecoa f students in many branches of
science, but just at present tne eoicesce
of eviation takes precedenoe over ev-
erything else.
%len the National Aerial Experiment
Aesociation was formed a few years ago,
coxnposed of the foremost scientists and
inventors in America, the headquarters
of the association were on Dr. Bell's es-
tate. He was the head of the association
and gathered about him a group of the
ablest men in the country. di large lab-
oratory was nmstructed near his man-
sion, and within its walls was perform-
ed some of the most important work yet
done in the directionof producing a
practical heavier than air flying ma-
chine.
By time limitation the Experiment As-
sociation came to an end on Maroh 31
lest, and to -day the laboratory and fac-
tories of the asosciation are being util-
ized by the Canadian Aerodrome Com-
pany. This company is doing its work
under the direction of J. A. D. Mc-
Curdy and Frederick W. Baldwin, two
active workers in the Experiment Asso-
ciation, and three flying machines which
they have built are ready for trial.
Those who are familiar with the
flights made here over the ice of the
Bras d'Or Lakes by Mr. McCurdy last
winterin. the Silver Dalt are well sat-
isfied as do what the new machines will
no. Dr. Bell and those interested in the
company will say nothing as to what
they expect. They are willing to wait a
few days or -weeks and let the truth go
out to the world through the usual chan-
nels.
Every pleasant day here last winter
Mr. McCurdy flew about over the ice,
oftentimes when the mercury registered
very close to the zero point. A nine mile
circular course was marked out by set-
ting spruce bushes in the ice, and the
ciroling of the Silver Dart about this
course became as common a spectacle as
the movement of sleighs were made
;which came near to that.
Little, however,..was known of these
achievements to the outside world. There
was no desire for publicity. It was the
purpose of these young men to learn
from continued experiment just what
theymust do to make a machine more
efficient than the Silver Dart, and they
believe they have learned that.
While connected with the A.erial Ex-
periment Association, Messrs. McCurdy
and Baldwin 'were constantly seeking to
build a machine which would offer less
head resistance than the Silver Dart,
which was the fourth aeroplane built by
the association. This machine had about
the same efficiency as the machines of
the Wright brothers.
The knowledge gained by the young
engineers in the laboratory and ie their
practical experience flying over the ice
last winter hes enabled them to build
a macnine that will produce greater
maximum lift, with minimum drift, thus
giving them much greater efficiency.
Mr. Baldwin left Baddeck recently for
-the military camp at Petawawa, Ontar-

Infillnele CAN4DIAN MACHINE.
Popular intereet in heavier then air

It will be noted tht -in the entre!, the
radiatom, and in many of the insportant
parts of the nunisine, it stiffens eeeen-
tially from the aeroplanes that are now
In use.
One of the' most important iinproves
merits in the new inachnee is in the 28418 -
tors and gasoline tank, which nre made
flat and placed horizontally so as to
serve as suppprting planes rather than
musing head resistenee as in the aero-
planes of the Wrighte and others.
• The new umenine Measures !renewing
tip to wing tip 49 feet 4 inches and Is 0
feet 3 inches higher et the centre panel
from the lower to the upper surfaee,
which height gradually decreaees to 3
feet high at the wing tips.
These surfaces A•re unlike those used
on the Silver Dart, being double instead
of single, and Dee made of the lightext
quality of stell cloth (not balloon silk as
used on the Silver Dart and. mealy °tbs.r
machines), whion' is stretched (rem the
back and laced to the front edge of the
Machine, bins lacing being neatly covered
with an aluminum ese, which oomes to a
sharp edge and projects three inches out
from the upper and lower chords.
The laminated spruee trussed ribe, on
Whiels these surfaces rest, have a. maxi-
mum curvature of 2 S-8 inches, and one-
third the way back from the front edge
have a maximum curvature of' 2 1-2
Inches. "The ribs are how shaped- and,
owing to their deptie ere A good deal
stiffer time those used on the Silver
Dart.
The perpendicular apnea struts which
join the upper and lower chords tegether
extend along the front and rear edges
of the machine, and are three incises by
one inch in the centre panel, gradually
decreasing Inward the wing tips until
they are 2 1-4 by 3-4 of an inch.
The sockets into which these struts iit
are made oe 22 -gauge steel, and ere oval
• in snap°, while square ones are used. for
the upper and lower chords.
Much attention has been given to the
wiring of 'these machines with the one
idea of eliminating as much head resiet-
tune ase possible, and it has been deemed
advienble to have visible only the lateral
and horizontal guy wires, which are of
nickel teel, the •other wires being hid-
den between the surfaces cif the planes-.
This arrangement will greatly add in
getting rid of some of the head resist-
ance and yet enable the machine to have
great rigidity,
The tendency which every aerodrome
has to tip to port or starboard -le con-
trolled by lateral rudders or "wing tire
These rudders are, four in number on
these machines And are placed at each
lateral extremity of both surfaces, and
give the appearance df iseing a continua-
tion of the surfaces themselvea, although
upon closer inspection yen find that in. a
normal position these tips are horizare
tan whereas the mein surfaces (have an
merle of incidence of four degrees.
The pair on the port side set together
as do similarly the pair on the starboard
side. If the ma.ohine tends to •dip down to
part the rudders on that side act cm as
to steer that end of the maehine up, and
at the same time the sta.rboard Reim act
sp as to steer that encl. down, and so by
such a eombined action the Interal cum-
librIum of the anechine is controlled. •
NEW METHOD OF CONTROL,
The operation of these tins is brought,
about by the inclination to right or left
of the aviator's body. His shoulders fit
into a tubular lever, and. to this lever
wine are 'attached winch, ,moving tite
tine as desired ,bhe a.viater always in-
clining his body to the high side 01 the
machine, which action, as ca.n be readily
unclersbood, is instinctive.
This method of control is quite none],
and wee first need in the raaehines de-
signed and coustructed by the Aerial Ex-
periment Associations
It differs greatly from tne method erne-
ployed by the Wright 'brothers, inas-
much as they warp their surfaces by
moving a, hand lever in the direction de-
sired. Tnese wing tips will 'be larger
than those used on the Silver Dart, and
will nave double &minces shinier to
those used. on the main planes. The
ohord.s are made of seven -eighths tubing
instead of •wood, which gives a. muesli
sttonger mxrangement.
Many changes have been mane in the
construction of the truck. The spruen
skids are 9 feet 9 inches long by 1 3-4 by
4 inches, gradually tapering to 3 inches,
and lutve beers arranged so as to be par-
allel to the ground instead of being ele-
vated at the bow. .
%NI this arrangement the axle of the
main front wheel will go in the game
plane ais tb.e skids and no special motor-
cycle fork Fill be used. Not only does
this arrangement greatly strengthen the
truck, but simplefies the eonetruetion
and outs down weight.
Speelal wheels home been ndesigned for
thee° machtnes with hube tevioe as long
as thoee used. in ordinary motorcycles,
nisi& gives a much more rigid form of
earistruetion. There is a ogee of five
inehen betevesen the spoke flanges. The
wheel is 26 inches in diameter, With a
inels pneumatic rubber tire.

NW TYPE Or RADIATOR.
Perhaps ono of the greatest changes
Made in this maeltine is tne method ere-
pleyed of cellists the engine by means
of a. new radiator designed and con-
etreeted by Mown. McCurdy &
This radiator, which is of 1-04 inch cop-
per, be made up in two sections, one of
whieh is mounted between the two front
atrute of the second panel on the star-
board side of the machine, and eindlarlY
the other section is mounted between
the two front stride, of tbeesecond panel
on the port aide. Each of the surfeees
is 6 feet 0 Metes long, 3 inches wide and
3-32 thiek, spac.,ed three inchea apart, Al-
lowing eight surfecee for molt section,
which, in 411, manee a tOtA1 Of 5nessissain
feet of radiating surfaces, which. not
only aces as a mdintor, but produces a
lift having an efficiency of 20.
At the outside exttemities these sea -
faces fit intoit eopper tube which is half
snaped, and whicle when, cosning
against Nee strut, one-half ef whloh hos
been removed, again gives the full fish
shaped. form, winch snakes a very wet
arrangeMent.
It is a greet improvement over the gen
tomobile radiator wed on the Silver
Dart, which gay° absolutely no lif b and
offered conaidembie head resistance,
GASOLENE TANK NOVEL FEAT1JRE
The copper tank for the gasolene is
also another novel arraisgement. It is
made to At between the two middle ribs
of the top section of the centre panel,
witli, its top and bottom leaving the same
curve as the machine, •
It is all covered over with cloth, so
that one would not suspect that a tank
was there at all. It measures four
feet six inches long and seventeen inchee
wide and has an average depth of about
two inches. This gives it a capacity cif
aboute eight gallons,
Two other tanks arranged in the same
manner on, each side of this ono bring
the gasolene capacity up to about seven-
teen gallons. By placing the tank be.
tween the surfeoes there is absolutely
'no drift, and from it point of efficiency
the arrangement is unsurpassed.
The total supporting surface of the
machine, including front control, is
about 5$0 spare feet. When complete
and mounted by aviator it will weight
about 1,050 pounds and will have a fly -
Mg angle of about 4 degrees.
PLYING THEIR RECREATION.
Messrs. McCurdy and Baldwin, both of
whom are about twenty-five years of
age, are graduates from the University
of „Toronto Scientific Sabel, have ac-
quainted themselves with the principles
of aviation both from it theoretical and
practical standpoint, and are unlike
most investigators in this lino of re-
search, as they believe in laboratory ex-
periments for scientific records.
They have without doubt equippeil
themselves with one of the best aeeci-•
drome factories in the world to -day,
nearly everything except engines 'being
manufacturedat their own place.
Their new machine coutains the fin-.
est worknianship that has yet been seen
on any flying macnine, all the crude ar-
rangements of front control, chords, guy
wiring, radiator, gasolene tank, etc.,.ne-
ing done away svith, and although
weighing snore than the Silver Dart,
about nine hundred pounds, will be far
more efficient in all details of construc-
tion.
Dif.AY COMPETE WITH WILIGHTS.
At present they are thinking of lit,
tle else than the trials for the Caned -
fan Government at Petawawa, and when
they are finished the yousig aviators and
their machines may be in demand in
many tarts of the world.
But Baddeck will continue to be one
of the moat impoetant centres in the
world of aviation there is little doubt,
es it possesses many advantages which
otner localities do not have. The expanse
of water affords great facilities for ese-
perimental -work over ite smooth frozen
surface during the long winter.' months,
when aviation in nsost other places is at
a standstill.
In the summer these lakes, win&
have, been called the Killarnee of Am.
erica, are most useful for hydroplane
experiments, which must' necessarily go
hand in hand .with aeroplane experi-
ments if flying macbines are to become
of practical use in war and peace.
Besides these advantages there is the
atmosphere of ecientificeprogress here,
with all the requisite equipment for ex.
periment and no interference from

But that original tendency to decay

teeth in general, and which has made the
dentist a necessary reliance from youth

But this early decay is not an accom-

The lessee have been chiefly in the

mulch cows, 144,000 other horned cattle,
86,000 sheep and 361,000 'ovine. In
Quebec there were decreases of 28,000
milch cows, of 45,000 other herned
cattle, of 30;000 ',sheep and of 81,000
swine. As the population has pro-
bably been increasing, the facts noted
will help to account for the high
prices of butchers' meat. The effect
will also probably be seen in decreaded
export of live stook, dairy products
and hams and bacon. The matter has
ita serious phases. Some of the losses
seem also to be due to other than the
weather conditions of a year. The rais-
ing of hogs, which had A steady expan-

often 'associated with the growth of the
dairy industry, seems lately to have lost

raising, also, seems to be a languishing
branch of the animal industry. The sit-

HEN HOUSE HINTS.
The Hennery Should Have a South-
ern Exposure.
The heft house forythe accommo-
dation of thes mall domestic flock will
not differ Materially from Maof the
more ambitious poultry raiser, as the
rule in large plants is toward the use
of small or colon)? houses rather than
of large houses accommodating a large
number of fowls. The same require-
ments which make for the comfort of
the fowls are equally necessary in
the home flock—a tight, warni house,
well lighted and convenient in ar.
rangement, so that the pare of the
flock may be comfortably attended to
and the time spent ,a,mong tneta prove
a pleasure.
' To secure desirable result e the
house need be neither expensive 'nor
ornamental, but it must be substans
tial and of sufficient size, to mom-
mndate the number of fowls kept with
room for xpension, writes Ida D.
Bennett in American 'Homes and
Gardens. It must be absolutely
draft -proof, which means air -tight on
three sides an least, though the fourth
whiho should always front the south
may be wide open if necessary.
Personally I do not like the open -
front house, but I think the muslin
front, modified to the extent of cov-
ering a portion of the window space
with htin muslin, an. excellent 'idea,
as it elle:1Nya the admission of air to
the house at night without the addi-
tion of moisture, and on stormy days,
when a south wind makes necessary
the closing of winclOwe, the muslin
opening admits a current of fresh air
unattended with wind or rnbisture.
The location of the poultry house is
of first importance, though I am
aware that this is eometimes arbitrary
owing to the restrieted Ifmits o fa city
or suburban let, It ia usually pos-
sible, however, to control the expos-
ure or location of the windows, which
should always front the south, and
the building should, if possible, be
protected tin the north and on the
side of the prevailing winds by other
buildings or anything which • will
break the force of the wind, Ever-
greens form one of the tnost success,

, PROFITABLE SHEEP PARMING.
(Verniers' Advocate.)
If sheep husbandry was it profitable
business itt Canada fifty years, ago, as
there is good reason to believe it was,
it is diffjeult to understand why this ih-
clustrn is so largely llegleetta as it is
now in many districts of the Older Pro-
virtces, in whieh the number of sheen
kept by fanners has for many yeare
been 'steadily elecreasing. The condi.
toils, so far as one can see on.the burs
face, are as suitable as ever for sheep -
raising. The climate has not ohnitged,
the foods neceesary for 'sneeessful feed-
ing of sheep eau be quite as plentifully
grown, and prices for inatton and lambs
are as high as over, wool being the on,iy

The Secret Place of Darkness.
(H. T. Miller.)
Darkness was -under His feet, He did
fly upon the wings of the wind, He rattde
darknese His secret place.—Psa, xviii. 9.
Darkness hides, reveals, enlarges; the
dark is larger than the night. God
makes known more in the flied than in
the day, The most precious things are
hidden, the most secret things are found
in the dark. Come into the temple court,
there is light; come into the holy place,
the hely oil gives a slender light; come
into the holy of holies (if I may dare
invite you) and there is no light at all!
The nearer you arc to God, the lese you
need the light of men. Oh, the over-
powering attractiveness of the divine
attitude. -Come, my people, enter into
thy ebamber and shut the door,
.. Come, listen to my secrets. I will
open my dark sayings on the harp. Oh,
the songs in the night from God our
Maker. "Ood sttindeth in the congre-
gation of God." Let all the earth keep
