There was, you know, an old lady
who rented furnished villa for the
summer, and with the villa large
dog also went.
In the sitting room of the villa
there was a comfortable armchair.
The old lady liked this chair better
than any other in the house. She
always made for 1t the first thing.
But, alas, she nearly always
found the chair occupied by the large
dog.
Being afraid of the dog, she
never dared bid it harshly to get out
of the chair. as she feared that it
might bite her, but instead she would

"Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark, and the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair
quietly.

room and found the old lady in pos

over to the window and, looking out,
appeared much excited and set up
tremendous barking.

to the window to see what was the

MAXIM FORESEES
AERIAL WAR SHIPS.
fslls OF Their PosolbllitlOe al
Balloon Dinner" eS the Al.
dine AsSoolation.

Prediction that the practical attain
ment of aerial navigation now is truly
at hand was coupled with enthusiastic
and reverent tribute to the worlds
great inventors by the speakers at the
"balloon dinner" given by the men,
bers of the Aldine Association, In
their club rooms, No. III Fifth ave-
nue.. Professor Alexander Graham
Bell, Hudson Maxim, the inventor OF
smokeless powder, and Major George
O. Squier. U. s. A., who has had d.
rection of many of the Governments
aeronautic experiments, were among
the men who proclaimed the day of
successful aerial navigation at hand.
AS showing what has been accom-
plished thus far IN America and
abroad, Augustus Post. one of the
practical pioneers of the Aero Club
of America, delivered an address.
which was illustrated by moving pic
lures showing the Vile de Paris in
flight and Henry Farman making the
recent dash in his aeroplane, which
attracted attention around the world.
"The flying machine" said Mr..
Maxim, "is no longer confined to the
realm Of fancy or imagination, but
the conquest of the air is already far
advanced, and the era OF practical util-
ity is near. In the not distant future
we shall have our automobiles of the
air, and In the wars of the future we
riol hof
cruisers, our torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destroyers. But they will
be airy, frail and fairy craft, indeed,
compared with the grim steel mon
sters of the sea.
Although the value Of the flying
machine in future wars will be mainly
as scouting craft, still Its value
and Importance for that service alone
is hard to overestimate, for the flying
machine videttes will be at once the
eyes and ears of the armies of the
future.
Possibly, too, we shall have our
torpedo hawk, taloned with dynamite.
which will swoop down out of the
sky. Although flying machines could
not be expected successfully to at
tack battleships, coast Notifications
or large cities and work much damage
with high explosives, still they might
attack torpedoes and small torpedo
craft with aerial bombs planted and
exploded beside them under water.
THE more highly scientific war
enginery becomes. more and more
will home and country be defended
by machinery and less by blood.
Fewer and fewer men will be obliged
to engage in the trade Of war, and
more and more will be able to devote
themselves to personal pursuits.
Less and less will war be the arbiter
of nations. The aerial navy will be
the great bulwark of peace and a very
great step toward the permanence Of
peace. And as mercy Is largely q
product of civilization, future con-
quest will be more and more tenn
pered with mercy until mercy shall
have conquered war. Altruism Is
born of love, but international love-
making must be done with armor
