One of the most startling statements of
public interest brought out in the new
book is in connection with the now
famous heXing wing suits of the Wright
brothers. The patent infringement suits
brought by these pioneer aviators against
practically all aviators in the world are
based on the general principle of what is
known as the f1exing wing DIR. Zahm

Congress on Aerial Navigation held in
Chicago in 1893. In paper read before

part of the proceedings he outlined the
principle of the fexing wing neces-
sary to maintain lateral balance in an
aeroplane. This publication therefore
had been available to all students Of the
subject for ten years prior to the issue of
the Wright patent.

New York: Dodd. Mead & Co.
To appreciate the strength of Mr. Mar

primogeniture has upon the English
people. In a family of four sons the eld-

squire or the lord of the manor. Should
he marry in opposition to his fathers
wishes he may be punished during the
paternal lifetime by having his allowance
reduced and his legacy lowered to the
limit of the entailed estate. Thus the
English parent holds a whip hand over
such of his sons as have not made them
selves independent of him by finding re-
munerative employment. In 1.-The Eldest

Just why Mr.. McCutcheon should have
