No Trespass in Air.
Whether drivers of airships and fly
ing machines are to enjoy absolute
freedom of the air in the future or be
liable to punishment for trespass-
whether the air above a mans land
belongs to him or to the public-is a
question that lawyers on both sides of
the ocean are discussing with very
keen interest.
In a recent lecture before the Aero
Club of America Mr.. Lyttleton Fox
held to the opinion that the state must
condemn the air as a public highway
through eminent domain proceedings,
taking title to it subject to the right
of the property owner to build as high
as he desired.
M r. Floyd Clarke, a lawyer of
81 Wall street, who has given much
study to the new aerial jurisprudence,
declares the air will be regarded as
free as the ocean and that present
laws for navigation Of the ocean and
the navigable streams will be applied
to the navigation of the air.
''In the first place." said Mr.. Clarke,
very difficult and expensive to carry
out in practice, embodying the descrip-
ton in a petition of condemnation of
all parcels of real estate throughout
the state and notice to all owners,
mortgages etc.-a stupendous and
almost impossible undertaking.
There now seems little doubt that
extensive travel through the air will
soon be-a fact, and the question of
right of way will soon have to be set

lily done for the common law has
within its bosom the elasticity needed
to meet the new conditions. Under
well recognized fundamental principles
it requires only judge Of the caliber
of Mansfield, Marshall, or Taney
to fit an old rule to new facts and
evolve complete justice without fur
Their legislation.
1.-THE waters of the oceans and riv-
ers may be looked upon as horizon
tai plane over which man exercises his
activities, Just as the air, in view of
the new activities, may be looked up
on as series of perpendicular planes
in which he exercises his activities.
Had the old judges had presented to
them in cases involving the land own
ers' title to the air above his lands the
same facts Of practical navigability OF
the air by the public as they had ex-
listing before them in the case Of nav
igable waters they undoubtedly would
have followed the same rule as to the
rights of the public and the rights OF

Chestnut Tree Deceived.
A horse chestnut tree in Clinton

bloom for the second time this year.
There are small clusters of blossoms,
buds, and young green leaves all over

foliage consists almost entirely of
