France Made the First Laws Govern.
ing Aerial Traffic.
In 1871, when French balloons from
beleaguered Paris were dropping on
the sacred soil" of Prussia, a royal
decree declared them confiscate as con-
traband Of war. And on the conclu-
sion of peace a measure was passed
through the German reichstag which
forbade under penalty Of death any
future similar aerial violation OF Ger
man territory during time of war.
So long ago as 1880, again. balloon
ascents were made illegal In Turkey.
SO far as regards Constantinople and
forty miles around. and in 1872 the pro-
hibition was extended to include the
entire Turkish empire. To France,
however, belongs the distinction Of hav-
Ing made the first laws for the regula-
ton af aerial traffic. In 1884 1t was
solemnly decreed that nobody should
be permitted to go up in balloon "or
any other kind of aerostatic machine"
which was worked by burning spirits
of wine or any other means of making
a fire.
Later. In 1911, it was enacted in
France that henceforth no balloon.
whether free or captive, should be per-
mitted to ascend with any species Of
furnace or stove, that no one should
be allowed to ascend in balloon un-

of a man of the lowest caste above
their own. or late years their status
has been improved. and they are less
servile in consequence, but even now
they fall on their knees with uplifted
hands to address people of the lowest

The First New Woman.

eve new women are really not so
new as we think we are" said one Of
them. I'm the thirteenth century
there were lots of us. Can anything
700 years old be new? The University
of Bologna had for professor Of juris-
prudence Movella d'Andria. She was
no more new than beautiful. Her
charms were so overpowering that the
trustees made her lecture behind a
curtain. When she lectured openly
the students. their minds wholly Cccu-
pied with her beauty. could not attend
to what she said. Madonna Manzolina
was professor of anatomy. Matilda
Tromboni taught languages and Marie
Magnesi held the chair Of mathema-
tics. This university was by no means
a second rate one. On the contrary
1t was perhaps the leading university
of Europe. 1t had 10000 students"

THE cocKET WRITERS.
What Happened When England AbOI

What Happened When England AbOI-
ished Their Offices.
In the long room Of the London GUS
tom house years ago were twelve or
GERS styled ''cocket writer's" They
wrote certificates that goods had been
duly entered and the duties paid. They
were also known as patent officers be-
cause appointed for life by letters pat
ent from the crown. Their salaries
were nominal. eco year. but they
were permitted to remunerate them
selves by extOrting fees from the mer-
chants-fees which in some cases
amounted to a thousand pounds a
year. In 1851 the treasury determined
to abolish patent offices and called
upon the twelve cocket writer's to fur
nish a statement of their emolumentS
The officers. ignorant of the treasury's
purpose. imagined that the govern
ment intended to impose an income
tax. Ten of the writer's, therefore. re-
turned a statement which understated
their fees by several hundred pounds.
The other two furnished an honest
statement. In few days ten clerks
were surprised and Disguised and two
clerks were astonished. but pleased.
The treasury notified the cocket writ
ers that their Offices would be abol-
ished and that they would be compen-
stated by pensions rated according to
the returns they had themselves fur
nished. There were gnashing Of teeth
and broad smiles in the long room.
One of the two honest cocket writer's
enjoyed his pension for fifty-two years,
during which time the treasury paid
him $4,000.

DEVELOPMENT OF GENIUS.
Some Doubts as to the Benefits Of tn
Alley Plan.

So much educational effort has bee,
expended on the improvement of de
tective and inefficient pupils that Rob
ert j. Alleys plea for correspondent
school facilities for gifted children
Will appear to have basis of Justice
Snea<ing before the National Educa
ton Association Mr.. Alley said:
The forward movements of civiliza
ton are never led by average men,
they are always under the leadershi,
of an individual who, because of hi.
superior ability. has stepped out anC
beyond the crowd. The ordinary school,
has failed to meet the needs of sucl
students. II is worth more to train tn.
genious to the realization of his posi-
bilities than to bring the deficient child
to the height of his capability
Whether or not it is worth more to
develop precocity than mediocrity,
class distinctions even in education are
not wholly consistent with democratic
principles. 1t is better to continue to
lean Ia the side of special help for the
defective than to seek TO encourage
gifted children" with an aid it is rot
certain they need. Genius has a way
of training itself without regard to spe-
cial curriculums The little red school
house was sufficient in the past and
doubtless the school system as it is. is
adequate for the present.-New Work
