soon settled. When the Office of city

reached there was a craning of necks

was a. follows:

Problems Be Solved
IN the light of all OF these facts, then | doubt very
L much whether the acropdnc we know 1t Will ever
realize the dreams Of the enthusiasts who predict a
boundess future We must look to new ideas, TO new
principles The old ones are being merely refined and
brought to periection but, granting them the
utmost possibilities conceivable an OF the opinion that
the limit will soon be reached, unless other means are
found for combating the problems OF the airman.
And these are the problems:
First, The machine must rise straight up from the
ground, or at least almost straight up
Secondly Its equilibrium must be practically perfect
and almost entirely automatic.
Thirdly, 1t must provide for safe descent when the
power ceases In other words it must be able to stay up
without power or TO soar under perfect control and tor
sufficiently long time carry II away from any danger
below such as the high buildings OF the center OF city,

lieu Of that it must be able TO descend 50 slowly al

Fourthly 1t must be able TO navigate in any winds or
adverse currents in which steamship Is able to make
headway.

covered from the shock occasioned by

that I have ever seen do justice to the awkward

hanging loosely his ankles. were prominent
objects but his hands were more conspicuous even
than his feet-due perhaps to the fact that cere-

Both In the height OF conversation and in the depth
Of reflection his hand now and then ran over or

Apropos OF his large feet there Is an anecdote
told of Lincoln when he in the legislature:

closed he walked home again. gentleman or

that he was cold-"therc was so much of him on

bomely Joke at the expense of his feet tthey were
doubtless able to bear IT. more thoroughly than
Lincoln did. We can imagine the cross fires OF wit
and humor by which the way was envened during
this cold and tedious journey.
