 Another danger that is sometimes encoun ned is that of air hoes Eoids through which the aviator and machina drop. MT. Griffith Brewer experienced enc of these VoiIa when fling with Mr. Oryille Wright a short time ago, and M. Paulnan in his London to Manchester flight "drcp pped' to depth Of 3u feet in a similar air hole"
 Yet another peril to the flying men is the steady currents that are ever blowing over the earths surface. The tall buildings of our cities and the high mountains all end to upset any calculations re- garding th4 probable direction or the wind. It has been proved, how ever, that air currents have an up ward tendency when arrested in flight, and always run up the side oi Ill un,ain or high building, and at the top intermiX with the more horizontal passage of air; so forming perfect maelstrom.
 The skysCrapers Of New York city are especially dangerous from an aviator's point of view, fer the wild winds are met at every turn by contrary currents th2t are being con- S,r1 fnrfnd cf ing and tWirling comprise the eddies and whirlpools and other dangerous forms of moving air that are re- spcnsible for the pres mt day diff culties of aerial navigation.
 The perpetual motion" of the air is caused in great measure by the varying climatic conditions of the earth's crust, which affect the air immediately above. For in- stance, it has been shown that warm air rises and cool air falls as natural sequel. The air directly above fields and land that may have retained the heat of the sun is al ways rising, and on it's upward passage winds it's way between heavy clouds, forcing them aside, so that they naturally fall below to fill the space left by the warm CT current. These in turn get heat ed, and rising, cause constant changes of motion ill the upper ele- ments.
 One of the peculiar vagaries of the air is the fact that some of the up- per currents have. at different stages course of opposite direction. Pref A. Lawrence Rotch, who is perhaps he greatest American authority on he subj ct, has said: Tn some parts of the world, at height varying rom one-quarter of a mile to two miles, the surface winds are com- plet ely reversed, the northwest trade winds becoming southwest ana the southeast becoming northwest

Do you remember. Bobby, what Commodore Vanderbilt said about the publiC?" ret0rted Uncle Dan. They're decent all right. but they won't stick together in any aggrcs- siye movement short of Eunpowder.

 Well. I am trying to get a spur track from the x. Y. z railroad to my factory on Spindle street. Tn \. Y. Z is perfectly willing to put in the track, and I'm trying to have he city council grant us a permit. Now. who is the city council?"
 'StCne.' Bobby was comp He'd to admit.
 Of course have already ar ranged to pay quite a sum of mOney to the capable and honest city councilman of that ward. The cap lbla and honest councilman will go o St.ne and give up about three Euur'hs of what I pay him. Then Stone will pass the word out 10 the other CGunCilmon that he's for Al ] rman HOldup's spur track per nit, and l get it. Very simple ar @angement. and satisfactory, but, if they do not shove that measure through at their me ting tom rrow night. before Stone finds out any possible connection hetwe you md me, the price of it will not 3c money. I'll be sent 10 you"
 T see" said Bobby in dismay In ether words, it will be put fatly up to me; I'll either have to quit ny attacks on Stone, or be direct ly responsible for your losing your aluable spur track"

 Bobby drew long breath
 I'm very much afraid, Mir Ellis on, that you will have to do with put your spur"
 Uncle Dams eyes twinkled

 Agnes looked up apprehensively, but catching Bobby's smile took this latter phase of the matter as joke Bobby himself was not deeply i'm pressed with it. but before he went away that night Uncle Dan took him aside and urged upon him the ,erigusness of the matter
 I'll fight them with their own weapons, then" declared Bobby. I'll organize a counter band of hugs, and I'll block every move hey make with one of the same sort. Som. how or other l think l shall win"
 "Of course you will win" said Agnes confidently, overhearing this asst phrase; and with that most Drizcd of all encouragement, the faith Of the one woman in his prOw- ess, Bobby, for that night at least, felt quite contemptuous of the grill Ing fight to come.
