WANT TO FLY HIGH.
Undoubtedly Most Fascinating
Form of Air Navigation.
it's an Exciting Sensation to Soar Up
tho Invisible Aerial Stairway Un-
I'll Out Of Sight Of
the Earth.

London.-The most fascinating form
of aviation is undoubtedly the high
flight. One watches the machine rise
from the ground and climb steadily up
an invisible stairway, winding round
and round in wide spirals. From the
size Of monster the vessel dimin-
ishes until 1t looks like an eagle. then
wild duck. then pigeon. black
birds, a lark, bee. fly. midge-
and SO 1t finally disappears out Of
sight; for men have now flown to
over mile, and 1t needs strong glass
and a clear atmosphere for specta
tor to detect machine at such stupen
dous heights. 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 1t is seen plunging down.
ward at an alarmingly steep angle. 1t
Is the vol plane, or dive. the most SEN
sational of all aerial feats. Having
climbed to his maximum. the aviator
shuts of his engine and deliberately
steers downward by the aid of the ele-
vator. He plunges through the aerial
sea at terrific speed. but not at hun
dreds OF miles an hour as some i'm
aginative writer's have put It, AS the
air resistance underneath his machine
increases with the speed and the
amount of surface presented to 1t by
the planes, the vessel Is automatically
led back to Its normal gliding angle.
and the downward path becomes less
steep. In order not to get too far
away from his starting point the avia-
tor thereupon makes another spiral at
gentle angle and then starts upon
another plunge. Thus by succession
of these maneuvers he comes to po-
sition from which he can make final
glide and reach the ground smoothly
and without shock.

was OF too great value to Bryan tc
take chances any longer on It's beins
destroyed by fire.
Prof Allen made quite an elaborats
statement. giving In detail what Allen
Academy is to Bryan. He stated that
the Academy now turned loose annu'
ally into the trade channels OF Bryan
not less than $4,000. which at a con.
servative margin. meant an annual
profit to the town OF $4,000. He
said the Academy helped everybody.
The man who had vegetables to sell.
milk. butter. chickens. eggs. produce
OF all kinds. as well as the various
business institutions OF the city. That
this school was growing and In short
time would greatly increase its vol.
ume OF trade.
The danger from fire he said was
too great to be risked longer II II
could possibly be remedied. That the
plant OF the Academy represented an
investment OF $4,000 In frame build;
ings which we're likely to burn at any
time without any water protection as

POPULAR ERRORS IN REGARD TO COMETS

year. The approach d Bielas comet

heat of August and September, 1882,
on which popular error Dedorgan re-

have heard those who might have

That there is really nc connection be-

of comet can be easily demonstrated
by a comparison of average tempera-
lures for any period with the number
of comets in the corresponding period.
Such comparison was undertaken by

My friends explained apologetically
that it was merely an elaboration Of
the old tea-cloth idea, but the effect
was SO good | mentally resolved to

The cushion cover was made of a
rather coarse linen of a soft green
shade. while the embroidery was
worked in a darker green lustrine.
though naturally 1t could be copied
in any range of colors selected by its
maker.
The centre was composed OF big
circle worked in satin and cross
stitch, though, of course, the actual
stitches would be merely matter Of
individual taste.
In this circle, inscribed in bold let
