it was dropped into the sea.
When Hawker set out on his trans
oceanic attempt on May 18, 1911*, he
tlew over the airdome of Frederick I*.
*
Kaynham. almost on the edge of the
, coast. Within sight of his rival, who
was standing by his plane unable to
take- off because of an adverse wind.
Hawker cut loose his undercarriage
as a gage to contest for the honors of
the air, and to lighten his load: then
winged away seaward with Ireland as
his object. Kaynham. accepting the
challenge, sought to start notwith
standing the unfavorable conditions,
but he was unable to leave the ground
and his machine was wrecked, he was
injured, and his navigator. Major C.
W. F. Morgan, almost killed. Hawker,
it will be recalled, flew 1,100 miles he
, fore engine trouble brought him down.
The undercarriage was actively
* sought by Hawker’s agents and by
others as a souvenir, but search of the
coast and of nearby waters, long con
i tinued. failed to disclose the weels and
their mount. Fishermen recentlv pick
ed the carriage up olf the coast,
southwest of ('apt* Race, and brought
I it into Presque, where they disposed
of it for a nominal sum.
VIENNA COLLEGES ARE
ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE
—
VIENNA. July 11*— The universities
I
i Mid technical institutes of Vienna are
on the verge of collapse according to a
rejiort of the chairman of the com
mittee for education.
Their grants are still on the scale
fixed in 1918 which the falling crown
• and enhanced prices make a mere pit
tance. For instance the entire subsidy
of the Meterological Institute does not
suffice to subscribe for one English
! periodical considered essential to its
work.
AM of the colleges are five years in
arrears of scientific publicantions and
I in debt for old materials. Labratory
utensils have increased in price to
more than 20 times pre-war cost while
chemical and medical supplies have
reached fantastic prices. Cocaine is
cited as a striking example. Costing
formerly 200 crowns a kilogram (of
2.20 pounds) it is now worth 4K,000.

iodine is worth 3,500 crowns the Kilo
gram. Platinum is practically unpur
chaseable, the quotation being 650,000
crowns the kilogram.
Vivisection has been abandoned be
cause of the cost of animals, mechan
ical studies stopped for lack of ma
chinery and throughout the list of
techinical schools the same conditions
exist.
Formerly the government provided
needy students with the necessary ma
terials and equipment for scientific
work, hut now the enrollment is five
times greater than before the war.
FOODSTl FF( ARK SAID
TO BE CHEAP IN CHILI
AS COMPARED ELSEWHERE
arrears of* scientific publications and
people coming from abroad remark on
the general abundance and cheapness
of neressaries in Chile as compared
with other countries. Residents are
nevertheless suffering from the grad
ual increase in the cost of life as the
movement of increase felt over the
world cannot be avoided here. The
circle has been the same. Foreign pro
ducts rise, salaries increase, prices of
domestic products advance.
There have been some labor move
ments in the nitrate region in the
north and in the coal fields in the
south, both strikes ending with ar
bitration of the demands of the work
men. Trade appears to be very active
and, although the market appears to
he well stocked in most trading lines,
good orders are being placed for Brit
ish and American goods for the com
ing winter.
The crops have been jfbod but prices
are going up owing to inability of the
railroads to transport the crops to the
great centers . Great prices mark the
scarcity of foreign products like su
gar, print-paper, rice, which are not
produced in the country.
All men are born free and equal
but most of them spoil it by Retting

SKELETONS OF MAN

_
LIVINGSTON, Mont., July 11)—The
skeletons of a man and a bear, clasped
together, recently were found a few
inches under ground on Chicken creek, J
near here, R. A. Fairfield, a rancher,
reported. The skull of the human be- j
ing was missing and because the dis
coverer has been a resident of the i
)
dist.ict for .°»7 years, it is believed)
the man was either one of the earlist j
f inspectors or an Indian. No weapon
was found to show how the man, while
within the clasp of the bear, was able i
to kill the beast.
