h aerial jaunt is a more decided
step forward for aviation than any
number of record-breaking flights for
altitude could ever be.
The aeroplane must stay up or fall

greatest problems would have been
forced to urn from the heavier-than-
air machine.
Tests of the aeroplane as an often
sive war vessel proved that without a
second man in the machine it would
not serve that purpose. Therefore a
fight with two passengers should
arouse greater enthusiasm than all of
the circus stunts put together.
So potent is that touch of nature

In the fiood-swept provinces OF

An International relief committee Is
attempting to collect ST. 900, 900, which

of tho excitement attendant upon the

by republishing an old book.
The book Ia advertised in the edition
of Monday, April 5, 1f2s, OF the New
England Weekly Journel. This COPY
of the doubtless at that time esteemed
organ was found in an old portfolio
by M. P. Brown. a Newark collector.
The advertisement reads:
Just Published The Nature and
Necessity of Repentance, with the
Means and Motive to 1t. A Discourse
occasaoned by the Earthquake. BY the
Rev. Mr.. John Rogers, pastor of the
Cnurcn IN B0Xford."
For modern purposes It wouId have
been necessary merely to substitute

the name of the latter spur to repent
