Risks Life to Save Others.

When the machine was only forty feet
from the ground the aeronaut saw al
most directly below him group of pho
tographers: who seemed not to know
their danger.
1t was dangerous, but with sudden
jerk of the lever Brookins aimed his ma
chine again into the teeth of the wind
The turn was too quick, but it was his
only chance to avoid injury to others. AS
the wind caught the tail of the biplane i.
lifted it in the air, turning the nose OF
the machine downward. and it shot to
earth, crashing to the ground just a foot
from the southern end of the grandstand
A big crowd stood directly in the line
Of its fall and a warning shout sent most
of them out of the way, but the seven
men and boys stood immovable, and
when the machine nit the earth they were
struck by parts of the framework.
The hospital tent was only a few feet
away and within five minutes all the in
jured were under treatment. Brookins
was with difficulty dragged from under
the broken motor. and it was some time
before he recovered his sensex
Il did the only thing possible said
Brookins later. Il had to make that

Opening Event Of the Meet.
The accident happened in the opening
event of the aviation meet that is
scheduled to last to August 20 More than
5000 persons were drawn to the grounds.
The wind vas blowing at a twenty
fve-mile clip from the southeast and
many of the wiser ones shook their heads
under such adverse conditions, but Brook
ms only laughed.
His appearance on the field was the
signal for a storm of applause. and then
he rolled his biplane out to the field just
off the southern end of the grandstand.
The machine, rolled along toward the
center of the field for about 200 feet and
then rose beautifully to height of about
$50 feet on the first turn.
At the first circle the aeroplane did not
seem much affected by the wind, being.
in part. protected by the tall trees, but
on the second turn as the machine rose
above the tree tops, the frail craft rocked
and rolled.
Pointing ever upward, Brookins on the
second circle was 300 feet above the
earth and gradually increasing the circle.
The fifth circle was 600 feet above the
spectators.
After being in the air nearly ten min
utes Brookins concluded to descend aim
ing to land directly in front Of the grand
stand. He made five or six circles, drop
ping 300 feet at the first circle. and then
directed his machine over the grand
stand, while the spectators craned their
necks and cheered.

The Wheel Problem.

Which, at any given moment, is NOV
Ing forward faster-the top Of coach
wheel or the bottom?
The answer to this question seems
simple enough. but probably nine per-
sons out of ten. asked ut random,
would give the wrong reply. 1t would
appear ut first sight that the top and
bottom must be moving at the same
rate-that Is, the speed Of the carriage.
But by little thought it will be dis
covered that the bottom Of the wheel
Is in fact. by the direction of its mo-
ton around its axis. moving backward.
In an opposite direction to that which
the carriage Is advancing and is con-
sequently stationary In space. while
the point on top of the wheel is NOV
Ing forward with the double velocity
Of its own motion around the axis and
the speed at which the carriage moves.

WILD GEESE.
They Never. Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or Sentries.

They Never. Feed Without Throwing
Out Scouts or Sentries.
Some of the common sayings con-
corning birds are stupidity wrong.
You stupid goose!" is I'm expression
constantly heard. yet the goose. wheth-
err wild or tame, is most sagacious.
Wild geese, for instance, never feed
without throwing out scouts or SEN
tries. J. g. Millais describes how he
saw u flock Of geese feeding with SEN
tries out and how after time one of
the sentries went up to bird that
was feeding and gave it gentle peck
on the back. The latter thereupon left
its grazing and went of to tnke up
guard. while the sentry took its turn
to feed.
Gentle as dove" is such a COM
mon proverb that the dove has become
the emblem of peace. Quite a mis-
take. for all the dove and pigeon tribe
are great fighters. and in the breeding
season the cock birds indulge In bat
ties royal.
The foolish prejudice against all
birds of prey includes that pretty little
hawk the kestrel. Now. If the kestrel
were known as the mouse falcon 1t Is
possible that keepers would not In
variably shoot 1t on sight. The kestrel
lives mainly on mice and wireworms
1t is quite innocent Of killing par-
tridges.
In game preserving district In
southern Scotland kestrels were prac-
tically exterminated few years ago.
What was the result? Over u tract Of
country Of 1900 square miles field mice
increased in such myriads that the
grazing was absolutely ruined. One
sheep farmer lost $1,000 in one year.
