The First AeropIane,

The earliest effort to construct a
machine which, according to modern
ideas, is entitled to be called an aero
plane, was undoubtedly that of Will
liam Henson, in 1912. Henson, who was
practicing engineer with offices in
New City Chambers, Bishopsgate, Lon.
don, devised machine which resem-
bled very closely the type which has
since been termed the monoplane-
that is, having its supporting planes
practically forming single deck as
distinguished from the box form of
the biplane and multiplane devices of
later inventors. There was an extend.
ed supporting surface, beneath which
was attached a car, carrying an en-
gine driving pair Of propellers. A
tail carrying additional horizontal sur
faces served for vertical steering, and
beneath this rudder was attached
for lateral control. Henson planned a
machine which was to have $500
square feet Of surface in the plane
and 1900 square feet in the tail and
was to carry steam engine of 30
horsepower. According to illustrations
of the time, as we'll as from his Brit
ish patent drawings, it appears as if
this machine was very similar in ap-
pearance to the Antoinette monoplane
used by Latham and to the Bleriot
machine so successfully used in cross
ing the channel.-Cassier's Magazine.

'1f you had been tn only one, sir"
he mildly said things might have
been different. But there suttenly
were too many of you"
BAH" cried the major and turned
abruptly away. He was hot with an
ger at this cool southerner who had
no shame.
He stalked along the meadow path
in the direction of the house. AS he
hurried homeward shrill sound
reached his ears.
His face grew scarlet.
The colonel was whistling Dixie"
The major increased his speed.
He would keep away from that dis
loyal fence corner hereafter.
But the next morning found him
taking the meadow path again. 1t
was his favorite walk and he didn't
mean to be deprived of it by any lank
and lean Georgian. Besides the col
onel might not be there.
But he was there ON the selfsame
stump.
"Howdy, major" he pleasantly
called.
"Mornin'," responded the major a
little grutIiy.
He leaned on the fence and stared at
the man from Georgia. There was a
smile in the mild blue eyes.
Il trust you slept well, major?"

on my conscience to disturb me, sir"
The colonel smiled.
'My conscience is well broke" he
said. "It nevah interferes with my
rest. l have an idea, sir, that some
folks mistake Nightmares for con-
science"
The major made a queer noise in
his throat.
my digestion is as sound as my
conscience" he remarked with some
sharpness.
You are a fortunate man, SIR" the
colonel politely observed. 81 might
have added that the only thing that
ever keeps me awake is this game leg
of mine. 1t stiffens up little now an
then. It's souvenir of Five Forks,
SIR"
The major nodded. He looked at
the coloners legs with some interest.
Perhaps the interest was increased by
the fact that the colonel's discomfort
was due TO union bullet.
Il have little trouble myself" he
said, with ms right shoulder of
mine. 1t gets a rheumatic twinge once
in while. That's souvenir of An
tietam.
The colonel gravely bowed.
You have my sympathy, SIR"
The major was moved by this
touch of humanity.
Thank you, colonel" he said. "i'm
glad to say that this was the only
wound l received"
Il have iive," blandly remarked the
colonel.
The major was much irritated by
the numerical superiority.
Il participated in seventeen pitched
battles, sir" he hotly announced.
You have the advantage of me
there, sir" said the colonel. "Disabil-

cording to some medical authorities,
again, the connection between eye and
tooth trouble Is more than an old
wife's fable. In his book dealing
with the subject, Hancock relates the
story of boy who woke up one morn
ing to find himself blind. On exam
ination, his teeth were discovered to
be crowded together, and few OF
them were removed; with the result
that by evening he could distinguish
between light and darkness. More
teeth were removed, and in II days
his sight was fully restored. Other
causes which tend to show the CON
nection between eye and tooth trou-
BILE have also been noted. Very fre-
quently occupation has much to do
with one or other eye defects. Thus,
nystagmus is sometimes known as the
miners disease.-Strand Magazine.
