REBUKE FOR TRYING
ITO FLY" CHAMPIONED
Eastern Publication Backs Re.
ligious Newspapers Stand

The religious newspaper which con-
demns the aviators for trying to in
habit the air in defiance of what it as
sumes to be the intention of the Gre
ator argues quite within its rights, re-
marks the New York Times. The
writer of the rebuke remembers the
tower of Babel and the punishment of
the i'll advised climbers heavenward.
But he should go farther.
Man defies nature persistently. He
was not made to inhabit the water, yet
he swims and dives and accomplishes
wonders under water. He will not stay
where nature places him. He discovers
steam and electricity and encircles the
earth. He def1es the rigors of climate
to which he should, in proper piety,
submit, and keeps his body warm by
covering it with the skins which be-
long property to other creatures.
What is more, he bathes, and he
shaves from his face the hair grown
there by nature with divine intent.
The groves were Gods first temples and
mans early habitation; but man chops
down the trees, clears spaces and
builds palaces and novels of which ma :
ture supplies no model. Now he is
learning to fly. There is no limit to his
foolhardiness, to his vain ambition, to
his desire to control all that is on the
earth, or in it's waters. and it's circum-
ambient air. The rebuke is well mer-
tied.

"BLOCK BOOKS" BRING
EXTRA FANCY PRICES
One of Rarest Publication Sells
for $1,000

Among the rarest and most valuable
of books are the so called Block books"
of the fifteenth century. In the early
days of printing pictures and letter
press were cut in relief in wood, and
the impression was taken from the
solid block. says the New York Times.
The earliest known print Of this kind,
of unquestioned date, is the st. Christie
pher OF 1923, which is now in the Ry-
lands library in Manchester. Eng.
The oldest known block book" is
one at Brussels. which is dated I<40.
and the next oldest, until recently, was
believed to be one bearing the date of
1870 In the library of the late Thomas
Gray of Dowanhall, Glasgow. there was.
however, a rare example OF this kind Of
printing, an original wood cut grotesque
alphabet consisting of "a letters and
six leaves of ribbon letters, the letter
"A" dated 1864.
Gray's library was sold a few days
ago at Sotheby's, in London. and this
block book realized $1,000. Some Of
the letters are worn and defective and
others are mended. All are mounted on
thick new paper and bound in one vol
ume in modern calf. Despite this block
books defects, the price paid is not
considered too high. only one other
alphabet of this kind is known. It is
the one described by Ott1ey, now in the
British museum.
Among the other rarities in the Gray
sale was New England's Crisis
printed by John Foster In Boston in
1876; over Against the Signe of the
Dove No other copy is known. Fos-
ter was the first printer in Boston. 1t

AEROPLANE IDEA NOT
A MODERN CONCEPTION
Paris Contemporary May Be
Right in Its Contention

Leonardo da Vine1 probably was the
most remarkable man of his time. He
was painter, architect, sculptor, scien-
tist, engineer, mechanician and musi
clan, and now his latest biographer,
Woldeman de Seidlitz, claims that
manuscripts show him to have, been the
precursor of the Alpinists. Leonardo
recounts an ascent which he made of
Mombosa, which is considered to be
Mount Rosa, and his record shows that
he must have made an ascent of more
than 5000 meters. Knowing what his
achievements were--he studied every
thing, observed everything, invented
many things-so perhaps after all, a
Paris contemporary may not be very
wide Of the wark in speculating as to
whether he might not have conceived
the idea of the aeroplane.
