The Aeroniane in war.

Gem H. Curtiss, winner of the
$1e,00 prize for flight from Albany
10 New York, writing in the Column
bian Magazine for September gives
his ideas as to the value of the aero
plane for military purpose. He says
the recent demonstrations of the value
of the aeroplane for naval purposes
follow along the line of action taken
almost from the first of present-day
fiying-machine development by mill
taIy authorities. These demonstrations
have long since quite sufficiently prov
ed the present undoubted value of the
aercplane for military purposes. The
aeroplane is used in military man
en- ers, for purposes of observation,
fCI making maps of the country, for
carrying messages and packages =
II csc are only few of the practical
Tres already acknowledged after dem
orstration. But much remains to be
done. by the army before the aeroplane
takes its place in the new warfare Of
the world = many experiments that
will determine its usefulness as an ele-
nGpt of attack. Then, too, an entirely
row line of military trading must be
entered upon-not only must men be
taught so as to become skilled in
han. Cling machines in the air, but the
man on the ground must be trained to
estimate correctly the altitude and
speed of flying machine and other
Data obtainable from the ground.
l.. anything were needed to convince
the world that the aeroplane really
does usher in new era it is a glance
into the manifold activities developing,
one from another, in the great systems
o. modern warfare on land and sea, Of
fensive and defensive.

Good Books That Fail"

William Dean Howells, most acute
and kindliest of critics, has called at
tention to a novel which appeared
some seven years ago and which made
almost a failure. 1t sold possibly a
few thousand copies, but no one thinks
of asking for it now. Mr.. Howells
justly thinks this one of the strongest
of recent works of fiction and evil
dences the condition of politics in mas
terly fashion, in a way which ought to
have illumined the minds of the PEG
pie of the commonwealth sufficiently to
make the election of scandals of Lori
mer impossible.
This example is one of many that
might be mentioned at this time. 1t
is common to hear almost everyone
complain of the low state of American
literature, especially it's fiction. A
little cross-questioning soon brings to
light that those who complain most
make little effort to get what is best
in the market. They hear people talk
ing about the six best sellers, and, like
sheep, read them. If they do not like
the sort of mental pabulum afforded
they announce that American fiction is
perfect rot, without literary distinction,
poor in plot and bad in psychological
development.
Yet it is better for people to read
decent books of any sort rather than
that they should read nothing. The
last generation read fashy story pa
pers. Now it reads mediocre novels.
The next may demand good literature
and it will get it in abundance.
In the meantime there is a wealth of
people knows almost nothing. Any
librarian will tell you so and by the
same token will lead you to green
pastures.

stanced in women's styles. AS re-
CARDS fashions, men are much more
stable and uniform than their

creation every day of the year, as
it seems. 1t is they who are enslaved

seems to have its haunts in all cities.
A word in parting: Woe unto the

black bird or blue bird with his

not apply for entrance at the gates
