BUSINESS FOR THE LAWYERS.

'rhe coming of the airship is to open
q new field of activity To- the lawyers,
and one which the more prudent
members Of the profession are already
preparing for.
In order 70 prepare its members TO
the practical application Of aeronau-
ties 10 every day life. in the near fu-
turo, the Aero Club Of America, with
headquarters at New York, has ar
ranged Tor a series OF lectures. the
first OF which was given last Monday
night by Nr. Lyttleton FOX. a New
York attorney, on the legal aspect
OF aerial navigation According to
the Herald's report he discussed tho
right of way In tho air, the ownership
OF the air over private property, aerial
trespass. liability of aeronauts for in
Jury caused by dropping objects upon
those on the earth and various legal
questions that arc gnre TO some with
the Development OF air travel.
As To tho ownership of the air
above private property. he held that
the best and quickest solution OF the
question would bc through eminent
domain proceedings the state to con
denim the air as a highway and take
title 10 it, subject to the right Of the
land or nor, now . IN the future,
to build AN nigh ny he wished or to
mako any other private use of the
air above his head that ne desired.
Many questions he said might be
settled through application OF pres
ent laws. but tiore would be many
new ones which would require legisla-
tive enactment. The courts of Europe.
he thid, were graphing with aerial
questions. ana American Judges ana
lawyers should mt once begin to fa-
millnri2e themselves with the newest
Of all human enterprises.
