especially those belonging To the dIileu
forces of the kingdom, may be gathered
from the fact that Vice Admiral Aubrey,
who is i'm chief naval command and
who was intrusted with the seizure not
merely Of the city but also Of the entire
coast line of Tripoli, has at the present
moment merely the third class of the
order, while several of his rear admirals
and Of the generals in charge of the
army of occupation have hut the fourth
and nth classes OF the Corona Italia.
Greater in Importance and still more
difficult To obtain is the ancient Order OF

conjunction with a green ribbon. The
higher grades of this order are rarely
granted even among the Italian Cabinet
ministers and ambassadors, the latter, as
rule, having to content themselves
with the first or second class of the
order Of the Crown.
Finally there is the order of the An
nunciation which is the Italian counter
part of the order of the Garter, and Of
which there are not more than four nom
royal Italian knights. every one of them

precedence over all other dignitaries

he would tell them on which days they

father and | clashcd many times over the
proposition, but he was set In his ways
and could not be won over by any KIND OF

In those days, / am sorry TO say, hght-
ing among the boys at our school was not
uncommon, but Wilbur and Orville never
once marred their record by engaging IN
these affairs. They kept out of trouble IN
the school yard, and no two manlier boys
ever attended school at which ! was an

fellows. who never volunteered their knoWl-

school books. but they could always give

so"

the Wrights got hankering for real
gun. Their father was afraid 10 trust
them with firearms and refused TO buy
them any. IL was not long until Wilbur
fitted a narrow piece Of gas pipe to
clumsy wooden stock and added trig-
ger which set Off a cap with the neatness
Of a modern shotgun The two brothers
were contemplating a fine mess Of squirrel

part i'm any unfair game or participate in
rowdyism. They usually kept dose TO
home and consequently never had as many
playmates as other boys who straycd fur
ther away from the parental abode.
Orville and Wilbur are so dihident they
cannot appreciate how much the world
likes to hear the story Of the lives OF men
who have done something out Of the ordi-
nary and how this inquisitiveness becomes
more insstent the greater the achieve
ment Of the individual. That the public
should be interested in their aeroplanes
they understand and appreciate, for they
are interested i'm them themselves and
proud Of their success. But not being par
ticularly interested in their own personali-
ties, they cannot appreciate why the pub
lie should be. and thus it is explained why
the world has learned so little OF their
home life.
Milton Wright, the father, was born in
1875 I'm Rush County, Indiana. His parents
,rerc Of puritan stock. having emigrated

from Vermont. The boyhood Of the father
was spent on a farm. As a young man he
taught school for time and finally en-
tered the ministry after graduating at the
Hartsyile GndD College.
The mother Of the Wright children was
Susan Katherine Koerror. who became the
wife of Milton Wright I'm 1853 I'm Union
County. Ind. She was OF German origin,
her father having come from Germany
and her mother being Of Pennsylvania
Dutch family
Wilbur. the elder of the two inventors,
was born in 1861 on a small farm near
AHlleville, Henry County, Ind. The father
was then a presiding elder Of the White
River Conference OF the United Brethren
Church and supplemented the meagre sal
airy Of the preacher Of those early days by
cultivating a few acres OF land.
The year following Wilbur's birth the
family moved to Hartsvllle. where the
father was pastor Of a congregation and
an instructor in the college for about a
year At this time he was chosen editor
Of The Religious Telescope" the official
organ of the United Brethren Church, pub
lished at Dayton. The family having
moved to Dayton. Orville. the younger OF
the inventors, was born there in 1871. In
1871 the father was elected a bishop and
assigned to the West Mississippi district.
This took the family to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, where they lived for three years.
Richmond. Ind. was the next trek of
Milton Wright. and after a short residence
there the family returned TO Dayton, which
city has been their home ever since. Mrs.

illness of ten years
Like the average children OF rowing

their education as best they could i'm the

family lived, neither of them graduating.

THE REAL INVENTOR UNKNOWN.

II is useless 10 attempt to learn from
them which Is really the father OF the aero
nlane IL would seem that the idea Of the
diving machine could not have been born in
two brains at the same time; that II mLst
have been conceived in the brain OF one
and developed, perhaps. only with the aid
of the other. The inventors themselves will
volunteer no information upon which to be
governed. Each Is willing that his brother
be considered the original genius Eysa
their close, friends and neighbors are dividsd
on the subject. and the other brothers and
sister will look astonished when questioned
regarding the matter and reply. Wilbur
and Oryille are both the fathers of tho
aeroplane."
The venerable father Of these famous
sons refuses TO go into rhapsodies over the
accomplishment OF his children. Though
proud of them and OF their success, he al
lows others 10 tell of their greatness. In
deed. the extreme modesty of the whole
Wright family is strihng. For long time
il was believed that the attitude of Orville
and Wilbur was wholly one OF secrecy.
They were discreet. of course, in protecting
their invention. but they threw around IL
none OF the weird stories that have ap-
peared In print from time TO lme.

During their experiments in Dayton ths
brothers found that the unsteadiness OF the
winds nterfered much with their work.
They communicated with the Weather Bu-
reau at Washington, and asked where they
could find a steady, strong wind. Inc
answer came back that the Cape Hatteras
coast of North Carolina had twenty-mils
winds practically all the time. Incidentally
the Weather Bureau gave the information
that there were great sand hills at the hiI
