X ) L PALM SUNDAY DAY OF BEAUTY Nature Assists I:oo_nfinl in Mak- ing Day Typical of Triumph, HOLY WEEK NOW BEFORE EASTER rvices ¥ Commemorative at’s Trinmphal Entrance In Jerusalem Over Road Strewn with Pal Palm Sunddy, the last before Easter an the beginning of the last week of Lent, commonly known to the churches as holy week, wah generally observed In Omaha yesterday, Catholic and Protestant church allke celebrated the day, some to & greater extent than others, and the beauti- ful weather which prevailed tended to enlarge attendance 0f worshippers at the several gervices in the various churchee. Palm Sunday marks the most portentious week 1n Christian history, as it was on that day, 187 years ago, that the Christ entered Jerusalem in triumph, riding on a donkey never ridden before and over streets strawn with palms.. Three days later came the betrayal, then the erucifixion, and then the resurrection .on Faster Sunday—the triumph . over death for the everlasting #lory of Christendom. Then now the palms wers used as a sign of triumph and weicome, and as the palms were strewn over the streets of Jerusalem when the Christ entered that firgt day of the week prior to his betrayal and crucifixion, so wers palms used in profusion in the churches of Omahe yes- terday. The palms were used not only in decoration, but in the Catholic churches they were blessed by the priests and given 10 the warshippers to take home and to preserve duting holy week. Special services /vere held in many of the churches yesterday, large classes being confirmed in some of them and high mass bolng sald in all the Catholie churches.

There are scientists, however, who con- wider that the aeroplane will never be of much practical use, except for sporting and adventurous purposes, but such is not my opinion—indeed, I hold totally opposite views. The cloverest draughismen and scientists in the world are now devoting their atten- tion to the Invention of a machine that will be able to do elghty miles an hour—at this high speed the machine could be re. duced in size, and as sich machines are now posaible, and as there are men in ex- istence who can make them, I am strongly of the opinion that, within the next twelve months, we &hall have them. In fact you will see that I am correct in predioting that this year we shall have a machine larger than that of the Wrights. The new aeroplane, in fact, will travel faster than that of the Wright machine, R will have a perfectly made motor of from eighty to 100 horsepower, it will be able to carry 1,000 pounds, it will be able to re- main up for three hours at & time, and will travel at the rate of quite fitty miles an hour, while in power, it will cost no more than two-thirds as much as a motor ear. ‘What will be the effeot of this discovery? Well, in the first piace, the effect on the nations will be that war will be made so terrible, #o deadly, 0 ghastly in its results that we shall have no more war, for with flylng machines, np matter how great and powerful your nation may be, K will always be open to attack. Thus, under cover of darkness and clouds, an enémy will be able to destroy a city, no matter how carefully it may be protected, for attack from the alr will never be able to be resisted. True, in fact that while the enemy s de- stroying your cities, at the same time, maybe, you are destroying his, is an un- argueable one, but it does not make any country’s position in any way pleasanter or more secure. What about projectiles? Well, to all in- tents and purposes, they do not enter very largely into the matter as, although pro- Jectiles may be fired by the hundred thou- sand, they are far more Hkely to do dam- age to themselves than to the enemy and thus, in ten years' time, I have the great- est confidence in predicting that the thres great Buropean powers will be able to say, beyond all manner of doubt, “There shall be no more war.” The flying machine, it must be under- stood, however, will never be able to carry Passengers and freight in large quantities, for it is essentially a military instrument, though, to be sure, it will very shortly be largely used for sport and discovery while, when the weather is bad, before long, you will see that cross-channel mails will be carried by aeropiane; an instrument which, by the by, will be of extrmordinary value a8 a rescuer of the shipwrecked mariner. We must now prepare ourselves to rec- ognize that what electriclty was to the last century aerial navigation will be to this. And on that aceount I repeat again that, in ten years' time, there will be no war, It s not long to look forward to and when war is ended once and for all per- haps those who now read these lines will recall my confident prophecy.~Maxim, in Pearson's Weekly. r—— INVENTIVE RIVAL OF EDISON Patrick B. Delany Father An inventor with the mind of a and a prophet Is Patrick B. Delaney, who s mow working on problems in wireless telegraphy At his statior and laboratory at Nantucket. Though conducting his re- searches with studiots inslght and ab. sorbed attention. as has always hoen his hablt, he Is able to sec the possibilities of utifsing the forces of nature in largo and most practical ways in the great world of commerce. Wor example, with an anti induction cable which he once invented, the Standard Underground Cable company of Pittsburs, to which he sold his patent, has became ene of the largest cable manu- facturers In the world. Other inventions of his have greatly enlarged the sphere | of American prestige in inventive genius, | Even as a boy, while receiver at a telo- | graphic instrument in a mewepaper ffice at Worcester, Mass., Mr. Delany aston- ished the veterans by his ablity to take messages twenty or thirty words ‘behind the wire;" that s, he was able to re men:ber the message as it came along and take it down deliberately almost at leisure, Before he was %, he filled the principal positions in a telegraph office as nperator, sifice manager and superintendent of lines tis inventions In the telegraph fleld began In 1871, at which time and for three years afterwards he was associated with Mr Edison in experiments in & system of rapld tolegraphy, for which a wire was con. structed between New York and Washing- | ton. Later he sold a patent known as| “Delany's relay” (or “antl-Puge relay,” as | it was sometimes called) and a patent on | an anti-induetion cable, both of which in- | ventions netted him a fortune, which en- | abled him to deive stili further into his | chosen profession—an oppertunity for whieh he availed himself to good purpose One of 'the oxceptional things about Mr Delany's success Is that he has been able from his private means, which have been | self-earned. to continue his work witheut tinancial difficulties. In 185 he was awarded the highest honors (8 gold medal and diploma) by the Internaticnal Inven- tions Exhibition held in London, and this of course, gave him world-wide prestige. Since that time his principal inventlons have been in synchronous multiplex tele- graphy, In ecean cable telegraphy at high wpeed and through & repeater, and In sutomatic rapld teiegraphy. His greatest invention s the Telepost system for aute- matic rapid transmission.

By & plece of legisiation just issued, the faculty have made it impossible to have other than the best men sepresent the Uni- versity of Notre Dame in intercollegiate de- bating. It was thought that the system in vogue for many year for picking debating teams could not be improved on, but the latest ruling of the faculty adds to all the benefits of the old plan. Hitherto the win- ners of the Clarke and Bolton prizes held | places as speakers, the men recelving fourth places acting as alternates. Outside judges gave their verdict on the merits of the speakers, and up to this time their de- cislon was final, no change heing made in | the order of speakers which they had de- termined on. The new rule, however, puts the power of settling on the order of speak- ers In a committee of the raculty. From the four men chosen by the judges this | committee will determine who shall do the speaking and who shall act as alternate. This modification will not change the dis position of the money priges. A departure In the meéthod of tion in the coliege of arts and letters is proving popular and valuable.

Scantlly dressed in their blue gowns, their bare feet toughened to endure any heat or kind of road. they add greatly to the interest of the many trips taken with them in their land. The donkey boy has picked up a few | words of English, which his quick wit enables him to use effectively. The de- mand for backshessh fs begun at the first acqualintance and is kept up constantly To reply with decision ‘“nothing or “Bukra (tomorrow) backsheesh,” some- times has a quieting effect. But begging is part of the business, and clgarettes books, white gloves and slippers were aaked for, while one boy with seeming unselfi ness pleaded for money to buy sugar cane for his donkey. They sing the praises of the animals constantly. ““This very good donkey?" “He very fast,’ urging him on with the “Ah-a-ah” and you answer. “No, don't go fast, Ala mahlak, ala mablak.’ (slowly). Upon which the boy will urge, “Oh, Madam, one gallop!" Many of the donkeys were fine looking and decorated with g bridies and sad- diery, and with the hair cut in fantastic patterns. A donkey shelkh owns the ani- mals at any given place, and the boye hired by the day in charge of them get their pay from the traveler, while the shelkh is paid for the use of the animal. This explains In part the constant plea for backshesh, which should never be given until one dismounts at the end of trip, and them the last minute, as they are never quite satisfied, demand more and may make it guite unpleasant for the traveler. It is a §ood plan to have an understanding n the party and all pay the same sum. according to the distance covered. The boys fully earn their pittance, going many plastres. They are quick o recoguize the nationality of the tourist. Riding one day with twe ladles st Luxor, one of them sald: “That is & very good donkey you have. 1 had him yesterday." “Yes, sald the other, “his name is George Washington." ' ‘Why" replied the first, “that is strange; yesterday It was Tommy Atkins." Later the rider sald o the donkey boy: “Why did you tell me that the donkey's name was George Washington and yester- day tell my friend that his name was Tommy Atkins?" “Oh," answered the boy, “she English, and those English no like George Washing- ten."—Travel Magazine Water System for Bryant.
