whom $50 are in the hospital. There is
an element of pathos in the inevitable
course of sailors voyage after he
reaches this final port. The first few
years are spent in pleasant ldleness and
rest, but as the time passes by and he
becomes weaker and feebler, he is remov-
ed to the hospital and later from there
to the graveyard on the hill. The age of
the men is so advanced on reaching
Staten Island that the annual death roll
of fifty is not as startling as it first APP
pears. Several of the inmates are over
ninety. Most of the sailors are Ameri-
cans, but there are a few Scotch, Irish
and Germans The foreign nations are
not as strongly represented as might be
expected, for sailors try to spend their
declining years in their native country,
if possible.
The community is almost entirely in
dependent and self-supporting. They
have their own power plant, which fur
nishes them with electric lights and high
pressure They have their own fire de-
partment, with a weekly fire drill. A
laundry, blacksmith shop and fully
equipped carpenter shop, are also found.
All the vegetables are raised on the
ground and the live stock includes herd

horses.
The buildings are very imposing and
costly. 1t is by this outlet alone that the
trustees are enabled to spend their large
income Were the sailors to breakfast
on plover's eggs and terrapin, lunch on
pate de fol gras and dine on canvasback
duck, with dry champagne and burgundy
thrown in, and if they were to smoke
the most expensive cigars and dress in
silk and broadcloth, they could not spend
a quarter of the income of the estate.
1t is by means of this ever-ready surplus
that the magnificent buildings are con-
structed. All the buildings are elaborate
ly decorated and the interior walls are
hung with portraits of the early govern
ors and with paintings of famous sailing
ships.

Der, your wife observes sgnif- { {
cantly you light your cigar. .fE5 n
What of it" you ask. You knew
all through dinner that she had some
thing on her mind and wait impatient
ly to hear what it is.
Don't you think it is time he
started to flying school:"
Humph!" yo sniff Indignantly.
why can't he learn by himself as l did, never
went to any flying school,.
But just think says your wife sweety, what
trouble you had in learning to handle your first
n,onoplane. You broke your twice and you had
all kinds of difficulties because you did not know how
to handle your engine. Besides dear all the bows in
Ha-olds set already taking lessons and most of
them have safety biplanes of their own
Not Far Look Ahead
I OOkING pretty far ahead is it. Don't be so
about that. Louis Bleriot. who flew across
the British Channel in his monopane says Fifty
years from now aeroplanes will be common as
automobiles are to-day. These aeroplanes will travel
one hundred miles hour, carrying passengers such
distances from Paris to Berlin
Perhaps. though you think that Bleriot is an over
enthusiastic dreamer carried away bv the glory of
the first crossChannel flight. Listen then to what
Alexander Graham Bell says You may have more
respect for his opinion considering his lifelong repu
tation a conservative scientist and considering
too that thirtyve years ago he invented the tele-
phone that you twenty times a day Dr. Bell
says, All of the impossible has now been passed in
aerial navigation. Actually the flying machine is
here. The aerial will be in as general use
the ordinary automobile is at present.
Thomas A Edison. too, asserts that in ten wears
airships travelling hundred miles an hour will
be carrying the mails
If you do not believe these predictions everybody
at once will know just who you You the man
who twenty years ago said it was utterly impossible
for person in Chicago to talk with person in New
York the telephone You are the man who
fifteen years ago said that the horseess carriage was
nothing but impractical toy and refused to believe
that farmers would ever be going to market in
mobiles. You the who only ten wears ago
scofed the possibility of wireless teegraphy ever
conveying messages across the ocean
Ii you believe in the telephone and the automobile
and the wireless telegraph. you Just have to believe
that 1t will not be very many years before your
Harold and all the rest of the youngsters are going
to flying school Think what has already been ac-
conlpished in the brief time that has elapsed since
the notable feat of the Wright brothers on Decem-
Der L. 1903 thus described in the language of them
selves:
1t was the first time in the history of the world
that machine carrying had risen in the air
in free flight. had described circle the same hor-
zontal level without reduction of speed, and finally
had alighted without mishap

going to make worldwide changes in civilization
That day is date to remember. The first primer
lesson in the flying schools will attend
will be, Man first flew December II. 1903
With the Age of Air hardly more than five years
old, some wonderful feats have already been accom-
pshed
Wilbur Wright, on September 81 1908, at lie Mans
France, flew sixty miles remaining in the air
than hour and half. Two weeks later he took
up passenger and stayed up more than hour.
Glenn H. Curtss, at Mneoa New York flew for
nearly an hour on July II. 1909. making speed at
times of more than mile minute with his bplane
Louis Bleriot. on July "a 1909 flew from Calais
to Dover across the British Channel. distance of
twenty-One miles, in twenty-three minutes. making
such rapid time that the fastest type of vessel
could not keep him in sight
Orvlle Wright at Fort Myer Virginia. on July q .
1909, with Lieutenant Frank P Lahm as passenger
flew fortyeight miles in hour and quarter
Three days later he accomplished flight such-n
the language of leading scientific publication-as
had never been accomplished before by any aviator
This was the ten-mile speed test rough
wooded and broken country to Alexandria, Virginia.
and back. The flight made with strong
erly wind blowing across the course The wind car
rled the machine out of the direct line Mr.. Wright
naturally tried to follow: but he made the ten
miles at a rate of forty-two and one quarter miles
hour.
Roger Sommer, at Maur-le- Meraud on August
Z, 1909. in Voison aeroplane remained in the air
for two hours twenty-seven minutes and fifteen
seconds
Add to these records the wonderful aerial exploits
of Latham, of Tissander of Paulhan and of scores
of other pioneers with heavier than air machines and
you understand why Sir Hiram Maxim, when
asked How will aeroplanes be used in war
fare:' tersely and forcefully replied In the next
war"
Just wait until the eighty people who have ordered
Wright aeroplanes have their machines delivered,
and stories of flying exploits will be coming from all
parts of the world.

No Limit to the Varieties

A Nd the Wright model is by no means the only
machine that can fly. There are already mono

that have risen from the earth. There is scarcely

done Hardly a week passes that Count Zeppelin
does not fly few hundred miles some part of
Germany, carrying from ten to twenty passengers
in his huge ship. The Gross H.. another German

Over in Paris, Clement has been amusing himself
for two summers taking party of guests for forty
or fifty-nle spin through the clouds in his great
Clement -Bayard air yacht. Here in the United
States Captain Thomas Scott Baldwin has been
making all kinds of sensational flights Hardly
pleasure park anywhere in the country but has had
some aeronaut and his dirigibe making daily ascen-
sions of the star attractions.
Right there at least half hundred persons
in the United States who have actually flown.
Sir Hiram Maxim's Statement
CERTAINLY the facts Justify Sir Hiram Maxim in
saying The time has arriv ed having regard
the advanced state of the art of building motors
when it will be quite simple and safe affair
works and turn out successful flying machines
less cost than motOrCars. In fact there nothing
that stands in the way of our to-day. From
purely military viewpoint the value of the success
full flying machine cannot be overestmated The
flying machine has and come to stay, and
whether We like it or not it is problem that must
be taken into serious consideration. If are lag
CARDS, shall be left behind, with strong posi-
bility that before many years have passed over
heads we shall have to change the coloring of our
school maps.
The Governments of the world evidently take the
same view as Sir Hiram; for in all countries-Eng
land France. Germany. Italy, Russia Japan Aus
traia. and the United appropriations for
the purchase of both dirigibes and aeroplanes
being made and soldiers being trained to fly
With vast Government funds available for expert
mentation, the perfection of aircraft is speedily
assured; but it is more than likely that not in
fare but in the arts of peace will the influence of aerial
navigation be noticed most. The Air Age just begun
will bring remarkable changes in many things
world laws. world customs, habits, language archi-
lecture, recreation
Already there is aerial literature. In the United
States there now three monthly publications de-
voted solely to aeronautics; in England there a
haf-dozen, and in France and Germany many
more. The English vocabulary has been enriched
by such words hangar" the shed in which
