Ohio Aeronaut Continues to Ureut
World Itecord* Established b)
Himself.
A dispatch from Washington. D. C.,
says OrvllI Wright Thursday broke
the world's record for ttme and distance
for a heavier than air living
machine, which he established
Wednesday In a flight requiring
great skill on account of a ten-mile
wind. lie circled around the drill
grounds ut Fort Myer r>8 times in
l?5 minutes and 5- seconds, exceeding
the time of Wednesday's record
flight by three minutes and ten seconds.
The flight was witnessed by
nearly a thousand people. Throughout.
the day the weather was threatening
nnd Mr. Wright did not arrive
ut the lleUl until after 4 o'clock. At
T? o'clock Mr. Wright announced
that he was ready.
"Are you going to try to break the
record which you made yesterday?"
he was usked. "No." he replied, "1
..... I .... 4....I <*.... ? lit rln ......,.t i..t>
4(iii -u)i juov iui <1 iivviv j/t uwtw.
I may make n. flight of ton minutes
In order to determine at what rate
of speed 1 have been flying."
The aeroplane rose from the
ground almost immediately after
leaving the single starting rail. It
continued to climb higher with each
successive round of the field until
It reached an altitude of 75 feet.
For the first II0 rounds the machine
flew as smoothly as on its previousflights,
but front that time on it wus
seen to pitch at the turns as the stiffening
breeze from the west struck n.
As the machine moved from the'
northern end of the field to the southern
eud. where the "aero-garge" foi
storing the aeroplane is locted, Mr.
Wright kept it several points in tin
wind. A gust of wind unuRuany
strong struck the aerial flyer during
the 42d round and it plunged sharply.
Mr. Wright then brought his
machine lower, but in the 53d round
he had recalled an altitude of 20"
feet. Mr. Wright came down at tin.
northern end of the field at the end
of the 58th round, landing easily.
"I encountered a stiff breeze." wen
Mr. Wright's first words, liis eyes
were blood-shot and caused him considerable
pain. "I don't know
whether the wind or dust causes the
irritation of my eyes. I had on a pair
of goggles, too. Flying in a wind as1
did to-day is lots of fun. It's mori
siKirt than flying in a calm as on
yesterday. The wind must have been
nrtao? in- more miles ail
uiunuih v -----
hour, as 1 couU1 toll by tlio quarter
lag of the machine. I kept much
higher than usual on accouut of tin
wind."
Signal corps officers of the wni
department expressed the belief thai
Orvllle Wright will make a speed o!
at least forty-two miles an hour with
his heavier than air machine, which
did such excellent work at Fori
Meyer. If he does male forty-two
miles an hour he will he entitled to
a bonus of 20 per cent, over tin
contract price, which would net hiu
for his machine $:?n,000, the eon
tract price being $'25,000. The o.u
eial trials will he held as soon as .Mr
, Wright announces his readiness. c

BUBONIC PLAGUE

1'uprr l'npaivd by AmLvUiui Surgeon
G^uornl T. >1. E?gct Thereon Issued
iu Pamphlet Form.
Surgeon (&ueral Wymnnu, of the
public health and marine hospital
service, has issued in pamphlet form
goon J. M. Eaget giving a history of
the spread of bubonic plague during
the last 14 years.
No study presents more important
Eaget says, than the lines of march
lunvu UUUUIIIC piHgUC culling me
period mentioned in its advance from
the remote endein ic focus of the disease
in the province of Yunnan,
China, to the numerous countries in
all quarters of the globe wherein
many instances it has established itself
in defiance of the most carefully
planned preventive measures.
The revival of the plague, l)r Capet
says, dates from 1894, when escaping
from the western Chinese province
of Yunnan, it reached Canton.
Between March and August, 1894,
the number of deaths from plague in
Canton is estimated at 120,000. All
classes among the population suffered
and rats were found to be affected,
but in the foreign quarter of
Canton, with a population of about
300. not a single case occurred.
During the next year cases of
plague were reported In Hong Kong.
Amoy, Macao and Foocliow, and in
1 896 sanitary attention throughout
the world was forced on the threatening
epidemic by its appearance in
Bombay. Starting in August the disease
spread throughout the whole
vast territory of the Bombay presidency
and before the end of the 1
year showed a total of 2,9SO cases
and 2.288 deaths. I luring that yeni
plague reappeared in Hong Kong i
where it lias been epidemic ovei <
since. I
In China there were epidemics at
Ainoy and Swatow with many deaths
in other sections of the empire and i
in tlm following year there were ovei
1 .">0,000 cases in India with a mortal
ity of 1 1 7,000. '
In 1900 plague was present- in \
vit) quantT 01 me nuiin. 1 n<
Philippine island wore included in i
the march of the disease, l.'o death.1 i
incurring in Manila. i
The most notaide fact in the history
of the plague in the western 1
world was the appearance ot 112 fatal
. axes in San Francisco, in 1901 in
India a great alignment at ion tooV \
: lace, until in 1904, the plague eaus
*d the death of over 1,000.000 per- \
sons in India alone and epidemics (
prevailed to a greater or less degree j
iu nearly all parts of the world.
India, the great center, suffered }
terribly in the year 190a but iu the
year 1900 there was a great decrease,
the number of deaths being about t
332,000, but again in 1 907 there was ,
it great ?.?-case, the deaths number- ,
ing 1.200,000. For nine years. Dr.
Knget says, Hawaii in I9u7 had not
been free from plague, hut tin* Philippine
Island now seem to be clear
of the disease.
During the year 1907, 156 cases
of plague with 7 0 deaths occurred in
Can Francisco, There were atso a few
cases at Oakland and other cities
neighbors jf San Francisco.
At Seattle. Wash., three tatai
cases occurred last October.
