TO THE GROUND

Wright, Dangerously Wounded
During Test Today.

ROME, May 6.-Lieut. Calderara,
one of Wilbur Wright's aeroplane
pupils. was dangerously injured today

dred feet. Both of Calderaras should
ers were dislocated and it is feared
he is internally injured. He was
pulled from the wreckage and carried
unconscious to the hospital. While
the machine was at height Of a
hundred feet the motor suddenly
stopped and the eroplane fell with
frightful rapidity. Calderara made a
desperate attempt to right the ma
chine but it was unavailing. He was
considered as one of Wright's most
apt pupils. The cause of the accident
has not been determined.

In the interior of continents it is
more difficult to find evidence of
changes in land levels, because we
have no fixed data from which to cal
culate. But in two or three places
in New England scientific men affirm
that there have been such relative
changes In the heights of mountains
that distant peaks which were once
visible from certain points are now
obscured by the elevation of interyen-
ing peaks.
For the most part the known
changes in earth levels have been
slow, but we cannot safely infer that
that has always been the case; and
even now the elevations are some
times by leaps, as in the case referred
to on the west coast of South Ameri-
ca. A noted instance occurred about
twenty-five years ago.. when the east

changes In land level need be feared.
