at reaching high levels. On June q, at
Beauleu he made an English altitude REQ

The most fascinating form OF aviation 10
undoubtedly the high flight. One watches
the machine rise from the ground and
climb steadily up an lnvisibAe stairway,
winding round and round in Vide spirals

flown over q mile high, and it needs q
strong glass and a clear atmosphere for q
spectator to detect the machine at such
stupendous height One waits in amaze
ment asking how the daring aviator will
return safely to earth from the clouds.
Suddenly the machine darts into sight. and
is seen plunging downward at an alarm
ingly steep angle. 1t is the vol plane, or
dive the most sensational Of all areriAl
feats. Having climbed to his maximum the
aviator shuts off his engine and deliber-
ately steers downwards by the aid of the
elevator. He plunges through the aerial
sea at terrific speed, but not at hundreds OF
miles an hour as some imaginative writers
have put IL. AS the air resistance under
meath his machine increases with the speed
and the amount OF surface presented to It
by the planes the vessel Is automatically
led back to It's normal gliding angle and
the downward path becomes less steep. In
order not to get too far away from his
sarting point the aviator thereupon makes
another spiral at a gentle angle and then
makes another plunge.-New York Herald.

she was very good little lady Squirrel;
but her besettnE sin was to NEEDLE with
the business of her neighbors. And that,

say worse.
Well, one day Mrs. Tattle-Tale got her
self into a very. unpleasant mix-up. 1t

and then to another. repeating the thing
she had overheard Mrs Adam Squirrel say

And she--like all gossips-was not satisfied
with repeating Just what she had heard,
but added some of her own ideas 70 the
tale, which. after the third repetition, went
something like this: Did you know that
