Their Triumph of Today Had
Beginning in Toys of
Boyhood.
AIR KINGS" TYPICAL
YANKEE INVENTORS
How the Silent Ones Look Upon
Future Travelling in
Skies.
BY ALLEN D. ALBERT, Ir.

r W0 men and a woman carry
a section Of a tree trunk.
= broad as it is thick, across
a primeval meadow. Muscles of arm
and leg stand out like swift-run-
ming water. The fingers lost their
grip. The burden falls heavily.
As the three straighten their backs
their breastbones lift high with
deep intakes Of breath. They rest
an instant. They fit sharpened sticks
into rough holes gouged at the core
of the log. They withe stout
branches into uprights and a cross
piece. One Of the men, shining with
sweat, sits on the bar and digs his
bare toes into the ground to push
himself backward He falls over
and strikes his head. The others
laugh roughly. The girl seats her
self in his place The men push
the log forward while she balances
herself with a foot on each side. It
rolls! It comes to a stone and
stops. But it rolls. and it carries a
load It is the first wheel.
Two men and a woman stand
beside a great kite stretched out
on the Ohio prairie like an alba
tross on a ships deck. The CEN
turtles that have passed are un-
numbered The woman and one of
the men seat themselves as though
to be carried on the breast of the
bird. A whir fills the air. It is the
revolution of a hundred wheels. The
bird starts along the ground. AS
the eye trembles the machine lifts
slowly to the height of mans
head-to the height of a low she'd
to the height Of the tallest tree
to pre-eminence in the field. On an6
on it goes! 1t turns. fitting in the
air like a railroad train on a curve.
1t sails back, its machine steadiness
setting it apart from the autter Of
the birds wing. and yet it comes
with marvellous grace. The engine
stops; it, too, has come to a stone
But it has flown! It is the first
craft to fly with men as the birds
fly
The first wheel lifted humanity
up from dragging along on its belly.
Is this new vessel to set it free
from plodding up the hill and down
the valleys? Are human beings 70
fly like hawks?
Thousands who looked on at the
official tests Of the Wright aero
plane at Fort Mysr, Va, in che
course of the past week, asked
themselves these questions Thou
sands more who sat on the house
tops of the American Capital. mil
lions more to whom the news was
flashed by telegraph, while these on
the roofs spied out the flights with
binoculars, pOndered them over and
over. 1t may be that no one Of
them, or of US, can answer But
we can all get a better purchase
on them if we make friends with
these two brothers whose achieve
ments have picked this week out of
the calendar Of generations, if we
look into the whole subject Of aerial
navigation with such help as they
are willing to give Us, if We sit
beside them in their car and see
for ourselves how strange and how
great are the difficulties to be over
come.

The man who pulled Grimbleshaw to his

as he had ever seen him in his life.
Grimbleshaw staggered, found his legs

He felt the supreme importance of the
moment.

the past. this man would have won his

conquered, yet here the man was again.
and the best in Grimblesf aw was urging

SCIENCE NOTES.

An automatic book-vending machine haS
been devised abroad by which It is pos
sible to hire book for q short period or
to buy 1t. The machine holds about Q
dozen or fifteen books. which are ar
ranged so as to display their titles. It's
operation is controlled by two slots. ono
of which represents the value Of the
book and the other the hire. In order
to secure the volume the required amounts
must be placed In och slot. and when
the book has been read and returned, the
amount representing the value Is returned
automatically.
In military maneuvers the infantry must
do more or less work under cover. and IL
is frequently essential for the soldier to!
work his way along the surface Of the
ground by creeping or crawling. In order
to facilitate this q genius of Stuttgart has

OFFICER BEATEN UP.
Prince Edward County Policeman
FierCely Assaulted by Negroes.

A telegram from Prospect Tuesday
asked for police aid in experimenting
and arresting a number of negroes
who, it is reported, assaulted and beat
I'D J. c. Cheadle, a county policeman.
Chief of Police FOCUS and Sheriff
Dickinson left on the midday train for
the scene of the trouble.
1t is reported that Cheadle went to
the house of negro in the upper
part of the county to make an arrest
and was caught by several stalwart
negroes and numerically beaten. 1t
was only by the intervention OF ne
gro woman, who begged that the lie
of the officer be spared, and that ne
was allowed to escape alive
Two of the parties implicated are
now in jail, Alex Page and Alice
Flournoy, also Chas. Page, who was
party in the original row. Officer
Cheadle, though badly injured, IS i'm
proving. Walker Bruce is still at
large.
