Let Him Get Used to It.

John Bull may be depended on to
get over his fright at the new wonder,
even as the old family horse grows nc
customed to the railway and the auto
mobile. When Dobbin finds that each
train and auto is not bent on his indi-
yidual destruction. but goes on regard
less of his very existence. he III time
becomes reasSured And when MIR.
Bull discovers that the flying age ar-
rived not with intent to bring about
his destruction and that it goes Sc
renely on its way as If no such portly
and beef eating gentleman were OH the
planet, he may become rs treasured as
Dobbin. He will have opportunity
as the Bleriot machine is followed by
fiocks and droCes. Then Mr. Bull may
famliariZe himself with the airship in
all its aspects. ard the panic will dis
appear. But there is no gainsaying
that he is scared now.

Ten Years From Marconi to Blerict

Returning 10 the initial comparison
with Marconi in sending his first wire
less across the channel. the query nat
urally suggests itself: Will aerial nav
igation go forward by the same leaps
and bounds in the next ten years that
aerial telegraphy has experienced in
the ten years that have passed since
the first message was flashed from
England to the continent? And by the
way, it is not without interest that it
was exactly Il decade which passed be-
tween the two triumphs. Marconi scor-
ing his success in 1899 and Bleriot in
1909. Was ever any age in the history
of the world SO packed with marvels?
Either of these deeds in former time
would have been sufficient alone to
have made Il whole age illustriouS. yet
in this day. when the drivers of the car
Of Progress could he arrested any time
for overspeedinC, we jam both of them
into ten years of time and prepare our
selves for the next wonder that our
inventors may perform.
Only 4 few days after the channel
passage Orville Wright in America
broke all records for a two man flight
by remaining in the air over one hour
and twenty minutes in his govern
ment trials ut Fort Myer Our Ameri-
can pioneers of the aeroplane are not
yet outclaSsed. They it was who first
made flight in a heavier than air ma

poetic justice that whatever triumphs

House Of Lords Favorably Considers

LONDON, October 15.-The house of

This, though a separate bill, is really
an integral part of the budget scheme,
and could only come into operation If the
budget is adopted. Its acceptance by the

a sign that they will not. after all, reject
