Flying is sport that truly exem-

makes tremendous demands upon
ones nervous assets. 1t sharpens
ones intellect. 1t develops ones fac

bring to it. The better the man, the
better the aviation sportsman. For
this very reason the sport has attract

very reason that the world has been
amazed at the high Intellectual type
Of human that has embarked in this
activity. For this reason call it the
kingliest Of sports.
No one who has ever flown an aero
plane can be induced to abandon it
utterly. The craving to fly will sur

TRAGIC IN ITS BREWTY.
The Story of the Duel Between hamil-

The Story of the Duel Between hamil-
ton and Burr.
The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel
is tragic in its brevity. The little party
of fve-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi-
naries were soon arranged. AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol he asked, "Will you have the
hairspring setT'
mot this time" was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities
upon a disputed subject, Burr fired at
the word. At the report Hamilton
started forward with convulsive
movement, reeled, involuntarily dis
charging his pistol into the foliage
above him, and fell headlong. Burr,
with an expression Of pain upon his
face, sprang toward him, but Van Ness,
his second, seized him by the arm and
hurried him down the bank and into
their boat.
Hamilton, being lifted up, revived
for a moment and gasped. This is a
mortal wound. doctor" Relapsing
again into unconsciousness. he was
again revived by the fresh air of the
river. "Pendleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, "that
I did not intend to fire at him."
At 2 the afternoon following he had
breathed his last.

LIFE CT Tie SUN.
Old Sol's Heat viii Warm the Earth
For Millions of Years.

For Millions of Years.
The reason why the sun retains its
heat in spite of the quantity that 1t
gives out is explained by the fact that
heat is generated by the fall Of par
ticles toward its center. The diameter
of the sun diminishes annually by 100
meters, little more than the ten-mil-
lionth part of its total.
According to estimates made, 10000
years will pass before the solar radius
diminishes enough to produce an eff
feet appreciable by the most delicate
Instruments, always supposing that
the astronomical Instruments Of the
future will be similar to the instru-
ments of the present By like calcula-
tons it is estimated that the sun will
send heat to the earth between six
millions and eight millions Of years
longer
Radium, which emits heat spontane-
ously and without cessation, is present
in the sun. One gram of radium frees
enough heat in one hour to raise a
grain of water from the temperature
Of ice to the temperature Of boiling
water Hence the presence Of this ele-
ment assists in the preservation Of the
suns heat. The spectroscope reveals
great quantities of helium in the sun,
quantities great in proportion to the
suns other elements. The presence of
helium is due to the disaggregation of
radium. Two grams Of radium per ton
of the suns elements would be enough
for the entire regeneration Of all the
heat lost by the sun-Harper's
Weekly.

His Draft of Poison and His Com.
ments on Self Destruction.
It is said that when all seemed lost
to Napoleon in 1S14-tbe year before
Waterloo-he thought of suicide as an
end TO his career. He actually took
a draft of poison. but the essential
element in the concoction had lost its
efficacy. He, however. conquered bis
inclination to self destruction, which
he ever afterward held in adherence,
even during his hopeless exile at st.
Helena. When during his first con-
sulship one of his grenadiers killed
himself Napoleon issued an order to
the guards:
THE Grenadier Gobain has killed
himself owing to a love affair. He
The first consul commands that the
guards should be informed that sol
dier ought to conquer the grief and
bitterness of his passions; that there
Is the same courage in enduring with
patience the pangs of the soul as in
facing bravely the fire of battery. To
give oneself up to grief without resist
ance or to kill oneself to escape is to
abandon the field of battle before being
beaten"
In a conversation with Goethe, Ma
poleon blamed the poet for allowing
Werther to commit suicide. and in 1916
he said to O'Meara:
Suicide is the act Of gambler who
has lost everything or of a ruined
prof1igate. | have always thought that
a man shows more courage In support
