power seemed to go out of it at once and it
crashed back to earth, this time with splin

meant weeks of repair.

young builder.
"Sure," answered the aviator, and the air
craft was wheeled out of the shed.
The engine was tested, and then the signal
was given to let go. Away the machine sped
over the field on its preliminary run, the
elevating planes were tilted. and it rose III

down again, tail first.

climbing out of the seat. A few loosened
wires were frightened, an adjustment made
here and there, and then off the professional

men to organize such societies for both

they are called. "esoteric" and 'eS-
