He was educated he says, ''in the school of hard knocks" Dickinson, senior, travelled the slow road of promotion until he was general manager of the Union Pacific system, and had an excellent reputation as a railroad man.

rank of a new industry The illustra- tion shows a scene in the most i'm portant shop, that of the brothers Voisin, at Billancourt This firm is now able to build aeroplanes at the rate of four a month. In the principal hall of the shops may be seen lying about the various parts of aeroplanes that are being fitted together-pieces of the framework, canvas planes or wings, and so on-while workmen are putting together nonoplanes, biplanes, and sometimes even triplanes. Here are used all the different metals or alloys that enter into the construction of flying machine, except those for the motor. For the tubular frames ordinary steel is used; for the fittings of the screw propellers, nickel steel, because of its greater strength, and aluminium for all parts under compres- sion, because of it's lightness. The propellers themselves are made of a combination of cast and forged steel, with aluminium for the active surfaces. One machine week does not seem a large output, but, considering the fact that the industry is extremely infan- tile. being only a few months old, per haps the product is as large as we might expect. This industry is as yet unborn in our own country.
