The automobile may now become a
vehicle for the common people. The
aristocrats Of the automobile world
have taken to flying machines. The
Automobile Club Of America has con-
GUIDED an arrangement with the
Aeronautical Society for the use Of
the old Morris Park race course for
experiments with heavier-than-air
machines. Henceforth the idle young
millionaire, instead Of endangerinx
his neck in 200 horsepower racing
machine, will find excitement in tests
Of skill and daring up among the
clouds, OF as near to the clouds as his
flying machine will carry him.
Automobile manufacturers can only
view this departure with alarm. They
have not forgotten what happened to
the bicycle industry when the fash
ionable world abandoned the wheel
for the motor. Alert bicycle manu-
facturers who dscerned the trend Of
the times converted their bicycle
plants into automobile manufactures

Juvenile education in the Empire
State is in an inverse ratio to age, ae-
cording to figures just compiled. In
other words the Older you grow the
less you know, SO far as public school
education is concerned, since less than
four out Of every ten pupils who start
the elementary course ever finish il,
according to these figures. The exact
percentage OF those who continue
from the FIRST grade until ready to en-
ter the high school is for girls 50 per
cent and for boys % per cent Boys,
ii would seem, not only go fve-sixths
as far as girls in their education. II
is a yet unexplained fact that the
school enrolment Of the state, outside
this city, shows more pupils in the
second and third years than in the
FIRST year After the third year the
percentage OF pupils decreases rapidly
so that out of every 100 children who
enter the first grade at the average Of
six and one-half years, only 80 go
through the eighth or higher grade
before the high school with an aver
age age Of IA years. In Greater New
York the coeficient Of juvenile educa-
tion is slightly higher than in the
rest Of the state since az out OF every
100 pupils who enter the first grade
finish the eighth. In the greater city
the girls who finish the graded school
course exceed the boys in number by
about four per cent. Outside of this
city, however, the boys surpass the
girls in number about eight per cent.
In cities and villages outside New
York City the total registration this
year was S90,205, as compared to 7O6,
I00 in the city. Altogether the state
has more than 100000 school chill.
dren Of whom considerably less than
half ever complete the elementary
public school education taking them
up to the age Of IA years.

Dayton Of the Supreme Court, A
man had been employed. under the

ment Of Parks, a, an annual salary Of
5000, The department was abolished
and the man los, his Job, He brought
mandamus suit TO COMPEL reinstats'

tending that as 4 civil service emplo,
he was entitled to his position durns
life and good behavior, and that ths
city could not legally BY abolishing az
office thus throw him on, oi employ
ment The court sustained this con-
tention and ordered his reinstatement
He accepted reinstatement, but re-
signed next day Then he brought
suit TO recover the salary he was de-
priyed Of during the time he was out
Of office. II was admitted that tht
former clerk had been earning NOR,
than a S20O0.a.year salary during III,
time he was OUT OF the ei,y's employ
but the court decided he was legally

II will now be up to the automobile
manufactures to begin making flying
machines. All this is very beneficial
TO the new science Of aerial naviga-
ton, and there appears no reason why
the public should have an inclination
to complain. When the millionaires
quit demanding higher and higher
priced machines the manufacturers
will be compelled TO turn their atten-
tions to the making Of good ma
chimes which may be sold to people
in moderate circumstances al reason
able prices. The racing automobile is
the highest priced machine now made,
and about the least useful. II the
time and talent which go into the
making Of racing machines were de-
voted to producing machines Of more
practical use, the public would be
bound TO be the gamer. The danger
is that this talent will be drafted for
the production Of racing air machines.

New York is the most wasteiul city
in the world, according 10 the figures
Of noted economist From these
figures il appears that this city throws
into lis garbage cans every day
enough food to feed the whole city OF
Paris, or to have relieved any of the
more important recent foreign fami'
lies, This surprising waste is Of two
kinds, according to the economist in
question. The FIRST is ignorant waste
which includes the throwing away
every day Of all sorts OF valuable ar
ticles. In the ashes for which il has
no further use, more than $1,000 a
day is wasted, since in the $4,000 tons
al this matter which il daily turns
out there is more than 50 tons OF
fuel. Could any one collect the egg
shells which the city puts in It's gar
bage cans each day he would make a
fortune since they contain more than
$1,000 worth Of lime. The value Of old
clothes and shoes thrown away every
"a hours is more than $500, while the
waste paper of the city figured at the
lowest price totals more than $1,000
a day. Over $1,000 worth Of bottles
are thrown away daily, and nearly
$1,000 worth Of string, Added to this
figures show that at least $500 in
real money, that is bills and coins, is
earelessly thrown out each day and
that the value Of worn-out linen and
hats discarded every day is upwards
Of 5000. could they all be collected.
The second class Of waste while not
50 striking is far greater, consisting of
partially consumed food, wines ani
cigars at hotels and cafes, more than
$4,000 being thrown away each day
Of the year in this way according TO
TO the figures. Altogether il looks as
| if Father Knickerbocker might make
a large amount Of money by estab-
| fishing municipal waste commission.
