who after years of study and trial made
in the summer of 1891 pair of wings
curved like a great birds, says writer
in st. Nicholas. AS the result of his
studies and experiments, he believes
curved surfaces better than fiat planes
in which he agrees with lie Bris, Goupil,
Phillips and other students of the sub
ject. All these men believe that the
curved shape of BIRDS wings has much
to do with their flying, helping them to
go against the wind-a strange effect
which the French have named "aspira-
tion."

STRANGE CONTRASTS in
ROME.
All Sorts and Conditions of Men Jostle
One Another.

Perhaps it is true that the impressions
which Rome makes upon thoughtful
man vary more according to the wind and
the time of day, than those he feels in other
citi,s. Perhaps, too, there is no capital in
all the world which has such contrasts to
show within a mile of each other one
might almost say within a dozen or two
steps,
One OF the most crowded throughfarcs
OF Rome for instance, is the Via del Tritone,
which is the only passage between the
Pincian and the Quirinal hills, from the
region of Piazza Colonna toward the rail
way station and the new quarter. During
the busy hours of the day a carriage can
rarely move through its narrower portions
any faster than at a foot pace and the
insufficient payements are thronged with
pedestrians. In measure, the Tritone of
Rome corresponds to Galata bridge in Con-
stantinople. In the course of week most
of the population of the city must have
passed at least once through the crowded
little street, which somehow in the rain of
millions that lasted for two years did not
manage to attract to itself even the little
sum which would have suiliced to widen it
by few yards. 1t is as though the con-
tents Of Rome were daily drawn through
a keyhole. In the Tritone are to be seen
daily magnificent equipages, jammed in the
string between milk carts, omnibuses and
dustmen's barrows, preceded by butchers
vans smart dog carts and high wheeled
country vehicles driven by rough, booted
men wearing green lined cloaks and look
ing like strange bandits; even saddle
horses are sometimes led that way, to save
time, and on each side flow two streams OF
human beings of every type to be found
between Porta Angelica and Porta San
Giovanni.
