FUTURE OF AERoPLANEs.

Line Between Paris and London,

Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.
Henry Farman, the French aeronaut
who recently. Won the Deutsch-Arch-
deacon prize, in an interview at Paris
on the future of aerial navigation said
that the best results in aeroplane trav-
ell would be had from a combination of
the principles Of the Bleriot machine
and the cubic cellular aeroplane used
by SantOs-Dumont and himself. For
the present he regards aeroplanes as
purely sporting machines. but expects
their development to be rapid and
foresees the time when an aeroplane
omnibus will cover the distance be-
tween Paris and London in five hours.
NJ. Farman feels certain that within
twelve mouths aeroplanes will be able
to travel seventy-fiye to a hundred
miles at an insignificant cost compared
with the expense Of running an auto
mobile for the same distance.

SAVED BY A BET.
Peculiar Instance Of the Power of

The power of the human will over
the weakness of the human body has
seldom been more curiously exempli
fed than in the following instance:
One of the brayest officers in Lord
Wellesley's peninsular army was Colo

rious for his love of gambling and bet

Salamanca he was struck down by d
bullet and lay upon the field apparent

Then, quite overcome, his eyelids
dropped again, and he lay motionless.
Major Windsor, the one with whom
the bet was made, at once had the colo
mel conveyed to the hospital 1t was
found to be very grave case, and aft
er the patient had been restored to
consciousness by means of restora-

ball in his back which could only be
extracted by very severe operation

surgeon, that you will very probably
die under it,
'If anybody will bet me ESQ on the
event, I'll consent" said the colonel.
Send for Windsor, and I'll endeavor
to persuade him to make it double or
quits"
The major was sent for and agreed
to the terms.
"Now saw away with you," cried the
colonel. Il won't die
The operation was at once com
