The magic monger allows the COM

suddenly breaks In upon the converse

a sepulchral tone. "Xhe wand passes"
The exile answers from the next room

comes the announcement, "The wand

of the wand holds it over some head

Then is the exile promptly to an

Flying Squirrels
and Asroplanee.

Modern inventors have been fairly
successful with the aeroplane, but for
a long time two little animals have
used a similar principle In their sue
cessful flights. The flying squirrel and
the flying fish sail through the air and
rise and fall on an ~aeroplane of ma
lures invention.
Our common flying squirrel, with Its
thin, winglike membrane stretched
tightly between the extended legs, lis
a typical aeroplane. Thoreau in speak
ing of such a squirrel says: "It sprang
from a~maple at a height of twenty
eight and ane-half feet from the ground
and landed easily and lightly on the
ground at the foot of another tree fifty
and one-half feet away. Its flight was
not a regular descent. 1t varied from
a straight line both horizontally and
vertically. 1t SKINNED much like a
hawk, and part of its flight was nearly
horizontal. There were six trees from
six inches to a foot In diameter be-
tween the beginning and the ending
of It's flight, and these it skinned part
ly round and passed through their
thinner twigs. 1t did not, as / could
perceive, touch a single twig." Other
observers have seen crowds of these
little creatures in similar sportive gam
bols which seem to have no other OBJ
ject than playfulness or the mere pleas
