HOLT PARACHUTI ON TEST
The first publie demonstration of the Holt parachute was given at Stag-lano Aerodrome recently. Captain H. Spenoor carrying a Holt Autoohute in a pack on his back, dived head first from an aeroplane flying at a height of about 1,000 feet. 40
After he had fallen a short distance the pack opened and a small pilot parachute sprang out, followed by a larger stock' parachute which checked his fall. Immediately afterwards the 17ft. main parachute opened, and Cap- tain Spencer was lowered to- wards the earth; The antire opening was completed smoothly and boforo the experimenter had dropped many fast.
There was a moderate wind blowing at ground level at the time, but Captain Spencer was able, instantly after landing, to "spill the air from bis parachute and so avoid being dragged along the ground. Captain Broad piloted the aeroplane.
After his decont Captain Spen- cer, who has made more than 100 drops, said that ho preferred to dive head-first when leaving the aeroplane. As he was falling he had watched the pilot, stock and main parachutes as they opened after loving the pack on his back. The apparatus had work- ed parfectly.
The opening of the autochute pack can be effected by hand, by a statio" line, or by an' auto- matic delay mechanism,
HAND OF BURNS.
HIGH PRICES FOR MSS.
A serica of Burne letter and autograph manuscrips brought high prices last month at Sdthe- by's. They were the property of the late Mr. Duncan Ferguson, of Burntisland, and many were pur- chased by Major T. C. Dunlop, of the Burns Museum at Alloway, presumably for that institution.
The highest price of all-2335. —was paid by Mr. Spencer, of New Oxford street, for an auto- graph poom, To the Unco Guld," on 2 pages quarto. The same buyer give £150 for an autograph рост on 11 pages,On Reading in a newspaper an ac count of the Death of J. Me": and £105 for a portion of an auto- graph poem, "On Scaring some Waterfowl." Major Dunlop gave sume ranging from £275 down- words for single lotters and poems, among the original re cipients of which were Miss Janë Ferrier afterwards Mrs. Gra- hame), Mrs. McLehose, Mrs. Dunlop, Allan Cunningham, and Dr. John Moore...
CANADIAN PROGRESS.
A RECORD OF FORTY YEARS
Forty years ago, on November, 7th, Donald A. Smith, afterward. Lord Strathcona, drove the last spike on the newCanadian Pacific Railway uniting the rails stretching westward from the Atlantic Ocean and those saște. ward from the shores of the Pacific at Craigellachie, British Columbia. That act-united Canada politically and physical- ly. A small obelisk alongside the track shows trans-continent- al travellers by the Canadian Pacific the picturesque spot in Eagle Pass where the last spike. Was driven.
There was no banquet, no. speech-making, nodisplay, Gener al Manager William Van Horne, afterwarde Sir William Van Horne, and the second president of the Canadian Pacific, when called upon for a speech-simply said: " All I have got to say is the work has been woll done in avery way." Van Horne pushed his titanio task throught in five years when he had ten állotted to finish it.In Milwaukee Yan Horne discovered Thomae Shaughnessy, who later succeed ed him de président of the Can-us adian Pacifio and became Lord Shaughnessy. In ten years Lord Shaughnessy expended $300,000: 000 in rebuilding the railway Van Horne had construoted, in buying- oocan steamships andi on irrig tion projects and other improves ments.
