If this 1 tru lit Imonesa In gf-rv inl It
Is true to a greater exr-nt in life msur-

show that the to'al x r n ten of the com-

were let than 10 ptr cent of their ?r-

Ii Mr Smith w mu-d to be fair why did

A MORE NOTABLE DAY.
Some Reflections on Celebration
of Trafalgar History.
To the Editor of The Post-
On Of totter 1. lJQV. the combined floeta
of France and Spain were almost annl-
bilated near Cape Trafalgar by th Brig-
. ll.th commaader Nelson.
Accordingly laat Satarday the easjsaa-
' rial anniversary of tha bat tie was esle-
brsted In the most aaaainceat way
i throughout the vaat Britiah eaipira. srhlla

from every flagpole. At Londoa. at Mon-
treal at Melbourne at Cairo aad at Cat-
utta the aaaembled thousands listened
to eloquent orations In eulogy of ths man

Brlthlah roast.
Less than two months ago oocmrod
the anntverssry of two other great bat-
tles aod of tha death of another great
King Us h commaader. On hep tarn bar a.
lan the Scotch royallat were defeated
by rromwell at Dunbar. Exactly on
year later the last army that dared op-
p.se the protector waa cut to pieces by
the heroic Roundheads at Worcester. For
even years after this Cromwell was ab-
solute mas ; er of t he British la lae an d
by a remarkable comcldeace hi death -nrcurrexj

thin that of a French Invasion two c-n-tLries
later. They established the su-
firt-rnacy of England on the sea so flnn-
that It haa never been successfully dl-
tuted since. Bit neither Hawkins nor

as her national hero.
Admitting that but for Nelson Napoleon
would have been able to Invade Euguind.

MANAGERIAL EXPENSES
Of Insurance Companies and
How They Figure.
To Ihe Editor of The Post.
In your Issue of the 30th Instant Mr. B.
P Bailey secretary nd actuary of the
Southwestern Life of Dallas. Texas criti-
cises the writer's article entitled "Thu
Other Side."
There was no "nasty fling at home com-
panies." no "cowardly method of attack."
no "left-handed compliment' Intended
nor any alnlster meaning tn aoy line of
that article.
That no immodest flavor of authority
might soil the sincere spirit of Its imper-
sonal aim even the use of the first personal
pronoun was studiously avoided. Bui tha
ac.ua rial genius knows and understands
'some thing not dreamed of in your
philosophy Horatio." The public how-
tver is not Interested in any personal
gall of bittern; uud flings 01 any JtiuJ
are not wortn wane.
But the people are reading up on Insur-
ance now -a -day a. and conservative views
ani facta of importance are acceptable
and relished as they never have been be-
fore. The public now Is anxious to learn
about life insurant;. If Mr. Bailey will
consult the editorial columns or Texas In-
surance when the writer was connected
with It duriug the tirsi month of ita ex-
istence be will find frequent compllmeu-
tury references to the Southwestern di-
rectorate. It is a pleasure now to coincide
with the very favorable reputation thar.
these gentlemen Justly sustain as clean
and capable business men of the highest
character and several of them rank above
par as lire insurance experts. It Is not
necessary to analyse the report of the
Southwestern Life but slue Mr. Bailey
himself has forced It to the fore and Mr.
William T. Smith In The Post of the tid
has ptft Its condition under close Inspec-
tion It may not be amiss to have some
further comment. It certslnly is not re-
sssuring to observe that for SI returned to
policy holders In death losses 110.22 have
been consumed for official salaries agents'
commissions and miscellaneous expenses.
With the old companies cited by Mr.
Smith for H paid for losses 74 cents cov-
ered tba requirements for managerial ex-
pense. The life snd firs Insurance busi-
ness sre totally unlike. The average net
fire premium la loaded IM per cent for ex-
penses though but 7t per cent Is rarely

of frulta will grow well; also all kinds of
berries and this Is the native land of
flowers. Eye or Imagination can not con-
eel v of a lovetUr seen than this land
of spring and auminer mon t lis with IU
masses of luxuriant bloom. AU the
colors ar represented and even In the
winter months flowers can he found nod-
ding gaily among the profusion of grass
and foliage that abounds here. Thla la
also a fine bee country the honey being
of a vary fin flavor.
Thla la also tha flss srtoslsn belt of
Texss: fine flowing wells can be had
from to 1000 feet Ut depth and It is
simply a mignlflceni sight to see a grand
gushing artesian well throwing a stream
of pure parkllng water measuring from
eight ts ten Inches In diameter at Ihe
rale of from sixty to a hundred or mdre
gallons per minute while the water
ruabea by like minaturv rivers to be
turned tnto tha many Irrigating ditches
or drained Into theT reservoir to be held
for use. Here the crop can be Irrigated
from the artesian well which Insures
the farmer auccess In all his various
crops. .

PRACTICAL AIRSHIP PLAN.
A Student of Aeronautics Gives
Ideas on Dirigible Balloon.
To ths Editor of The Post.
Th quest loo of serial navigation Just
now Is attracting a great deal of atten-
tion In America ss well as In Europe.
Many theories have been advanced and
many experiments have been made but
so far no success haa been attained In a
practical solution of the problem. In
my opinion the fault lies in the fact that
Inventors and aeronauts have not under-
stood the element to be contended with.
1 relieve that the air can be navigated
a safely and satisfactorily and with as
great commercisl advantage as water.
This can never be attained on the lines
now being worked by aeronauts and In-
ventors. I have solved a good many en-
gineering problems during the laat forty
years aud I have alwaya used nature's
principle aa my "base line."
I know that a successful air navigattng
machine must be ao constructed as to
secure:
1. Absolute equilibrium while In the air.
2. Absolutely safety to occupants In cas
of accident to any part of the machine.
2. A rigid gas holder of sufficient ca-
pacity to overcome id per cent of the
earth s gravity on the machine and load.
4. The gas holder must be made rigid
by a slat frame lined Inside with rubber
cfoth and covered outside with silk and
braced with hoop bands and aluminum
rod inside. The center hoops will be
made heavy to which the fixtures for
attaching the propeller wings will be
boltetL thus mi. king the gas holder suf-
ficiently rigid to resist that pressure
caused by rapid passage through the atr.
5. The propelling device must be built
on the principle of the wings of s wild
gcose. being provided with valves giving
a lifting and propelling force on the
downward stroke of tbe wing propellers.
All of these essential sre contained In
a machine that ha been planned called
the "aerial navigator."
Equilibrium I obtained by the peculiar
shie uf the rigid gas holder all the
gravity pull 1 caa lug to s central point
i f the machine and directly under the
firoreller wings securing absolute equl-
Ibrium while In the sir In case of acci-
dent to the machine while In midair the
Stt per cent of gravity being overcome by
the buoyancy of the gsa In the gas hold-
r aided by the wing propeller set In?
as parchutea would allow the machine
to gradually descend to earth without
harm to occupants.
The propeller wings sre operated bv a
small gasoline engine located In the esse
directly under the center of the g.t
holder snd directly under the wing pro-
pellers geared with sprocket chain snd
wheels.
The guiding apparatus located at each
end of the machine enable the engineer
to rise or descend or go in any direction
he may dealre. In sir navigation thla
necessary feature together with other
nrmed above has never been attained by
another system and I do not believe a
practical air navigator can ever be built
on any other principle.
Tt la well known that currents of air
are constantly passing one above th"e
other to and from every point of the
compass snd an "aerial navigator" built
upon this principle can ascend to the cur-
rent leading In the direction the engineer
wishes to go thus facilitating speed.

Represents One Side.
To the Editor of The Post.
The gentleman mentioned In th Inter-
view In The Post last Tuesday simply
represents one side of the lumber ques-
tion; that side being the one that be-
lieves lumber haa goo beyond the limit
and that unlesa reaction toward cheaper
prices seta In soon many people will be
debarred from building. Thla is a fact
ss far ss It goes but thla ahould not be
the only thlug taken Into consideration
when the lumber question Is up for dis-
cussion. There Is not a lumber journal of Na-
tional Importance lu the United States
that has not for the past five months in-
timated ihut lumber for local building
purposes had gone beyond the roach of
many people in thla country.
In the first place nearly all the amall
mill have long ago sold thetr cut to
larger ml He and they therefore have no
lumber of their own to pare to the man
who wanta a wagon load and the large
mtlla. which are almost daily obliged to
discard orders for hundreds of thousands
of feet.- surelv have little time to fool
away with little fellows who want to
build a fence or a enaca.
