Glenn Curtiss, the famous Bird-ma n and inventor of flying maonines,writes his own description of hiswonderful hydro-aeroplane, whichtravels by air, land or sea, and whichis to be a feature each day of theGolden Potlatch in Seattle, July 17to 22. Mr . Curtiss writes as follows:The hydro-aeroplane is the newest

and most sensational thing in avia-tion. I developed t from the Stand-ard Curtiss Aeroplane at San Diego,California during the past winter,

something should happen to cause afall, he would not be dashed to pieces.The worst he would get is a cold bath.

The Triad is destined to be thegreatest factor in the development ofaviation. tmakes Jong cross-countryor cross-sea nights possible. If across-country flight is too dangerousto attempt because of the roughcharacter o f the land, the hydro-aero-plane can follow a river course withperfect safety, or if there is no watercourse and the country is level, tcan take the land course with equal

ularily called Th eTriad, meaningthe union of three. it takes thisname from the fact that t representsthe conquest of the three elements, air, water and earth.The Triad'can fly sixty miles anhour, skim the water like a racingmotor boat at fiftymiles an hour, audrun over the earth at thirty-five milesan hour. It can arise from the earthand alight upon the water; start fromthe water and come down upon theland, or be used exclusively on eitherland or water.A flight of the Triad from the wateris far more spectacular than a flightby the ordinary aeroplane. To see itskim the water like a swooping gulland then rise into the air, circle audsoar to great heights, and finally todrop gracefully down upon the wateragain furnishes a thrill and inspiresa wonder that does not come with anyother sport on earth.The hydro-aeroplane is safer than

the ordinary aeroplane. For thisreason it is bound to become the mostpopular of all aerial oraft. The beginner can take it out on his neighbor-ing lake or river, or even the greatbay and skim it over the water untilhe is sure of himself, and sure he cancontrol it in the air. lie can fly itsix feet above the water for any dis-tance with the feeling that even if

safety.; In short, t matters little whetheran aerial course taks one over land orwater, the hydro-aeroplane is thesafest machine for flight. With theTriad the Great Lakes offer no impassable obstacle to a long flight, andit is within the vision of him whowatches the trend of things, that anover-sea flight is not far in the future.

Flies and Live Stock.Where do the pestering flies comefrom? Did you ever think of that,Mr . Farmer? They hatch their eggs

in manure. Those wriggling wormsyou see in the gutter of the uncleancowbarn or horse stable will soon become fliesmillions of them to pesterstock and increase the feed bills.Keep the stables clean, sprinkle air-slacked lime or some prepared disin-

fectant over the gutters and floors andscatter some on the manure you lastthrew out on the pile.Of course, those who take the ma nure out daily to the field, as all shoulddo, will not have so many flies, butthere willbe enough at that. Darkenthe stables, acreeu the doors andwiudows and even then the fly will bewaiting on the outside to get in hiswork on the livestock as soon as theyare in the open.The way out Is to use, in additionto all the precaution you can take, a

good fl y killer such as is offeredon the market with a guarantee and arecord back of it. The coat is small

and the beneOts far-reaching. Noth-ing is more pitiful to see than a herdof cows fighting flies in the pasturefrom morning until night, when a fewmoments work in spraying with areliable fly repellant will keep theflies of f and provide comfort fo r theanimals. This fly question is an im-portant matter and too often lostsight of by stockmen. Le t us empha-size the importance of getting afterthe flies in a sane, economical way.Sheep Destroy Jim HillMustardPULLMAN, Wash., June 21. J.
