OUR RAPID AGE

Last months Hamilton. the aviator.
drove his aeroplane eleven miles i'm ten
minutes. And he complained that his
engine worked poorly.
BY the time you read this that rec
ord may have been broken several
times.
This is the age of bird men.
And. as the slow going stagecoach
was superseded by the locomotive. so
the highest speed or the locomotive
viii be considered a slow pace COM
pared with that OF the flying machine.
There are great possibilities in aerial
navigation.
Now the aeroplane must carry n
heavy engine and fuel for it. Some of
these days the power will come i'm cleo
trio force directly from the earth. the
great storage battery.
Now the car must be open. which
catches the wind and impedes prog
ress. BY and by the aerial car will be
n closed one. And men will ffy their
machines several times faster than
they do now.
"W-h-a-t:' you say.
Certainly, No reasonable prophecy
respecting the speed OF the future fly-
ing machine may be considered fanci-
full.
Another thing:
Major General J. Franklin Bell. for
mer chief OF STAFF OF the United States
army. says that within Eve years aero
planes will be built to carry each q
crew OF five men and n small cargo of
explosives and that guns viii be de-
vised to fire upon and destroy air craft
from the ground
We shall see the realization of that
prophecy.
Which leads You to ask what is TO
be the moral effect OF these things.
Never fear
The Almighty did not intend that
man should fulfill his destiny as n
worm crawling on the surface of the
earth. As man has conquered land
and water, so will he conquer the air
Also
1t IS true that as the means of de-
struction multiply wars must diminish.
The time is coming rapidly when ma
lions no longer can afford to go to
war.
Never fear.
The more we become the masters of
the elements the more must we become
the masters OF ourselves.

One day he was passing between

This individual Is n prominent
lawyer of Chicago who formerly had
been a neighbor of the young mans
family in small town.
The lawyer volunteered his services
in bringing suit against the company
for damages.
1t was very clear that the company
had been negligent in it's manipulation
of the cars without proper lighting.
The lawyer said there would he diff

Then this friend of the family" be-

postponed again and again upon one

Finally after an important witness
had disappeared and the merits Of the
case had been jeopardized by delay the
lawyer told the family 1t was impossi-

1t developed then that the pretended
