ALL ABOARD FOR FLIGHT
 OVER GREAT BIRMINGHAM

which for originality and beauty of arch itecture rival any that either the new or the old world can boast About 50 miles of streets are paved and the main ar teries of highway, as we look down upon them seem as straight as arrows ana fringed with green and silver, alternat- ing hues of the vegetation and the clouds, The elevation of from TOO to 1900 feet upon which the city is located Is now fattened out from our place amongst the clouds for we have risen 10 a great altitude, III order to get our bearings sEYeryWhere we see fine homes and neat gardens. They tell me that there are nearly 3o'0oo of them.
 Glimpses From the Clouds
 We look down upon dozen or more steel construction buildings which reach up toward us into the heavens for very many stories, puncturing the sky inc with uneven dots. Over yondef IS the great Terminal station, an edifice whlcn cost upwards of S2000,000. There are large iron pipe works, machine shops, foun- dries, cement works, cotton mills, 1ertii. izer plants and In fact every branch or human endeavor in the world of utlllty.
 How odd it seems to think of all those hundreds of human beings performing their mundane duties wAle we are soar ing with the birds and cavortins be- meath the stars which later will shine be- nignantly down upon us all. Now II we were robbers of the air, how simple it would be to glido down, under cover of darkness and tap the tills of the some IS banks in Birmingham and help our selves to the some odd $30,M0.0o0 that lie in their vaults. We see very many churches and schools, fine tributes indeed to the character of the citizens. There

 Gorgeous Panorama of Beauty
 That's right, get a firm hold, for we have a long cruise ahead of us and 1t is not unlikely we will run into dan gerous air currents. We are about to pass over a city which has grown as few American cities have grown, from a small village to a great metropolis of upwards of 150,O00 people in com paratively short space of time.
 We are to sail over district where
 in and tributary to it are great coal fields estimated by geologists as bear ing nearly 70,O00,009 tons of coal and l ira deposits which will supply all the furnaces now in blast for a period of nearly four centuries. By that time, my dear passenger, aeroplanes will be do- ing the worlds work. As the district is now producing 2.0O0,000 tons of pig
 
 you may get an idea ot the magnitude of the mineral resources of this dis- trict and the great future in store for it, the more so when it is considered that the total known ore supply Of the United States is estimated to be eX- hausted within 100 years Yet the great deposits of iron ore and coal do not represent the entire mineral resourc IS of the district. Within it's borders, as sociated with the ore deposits and coal measures and in separate layers are found immense quantities of limestone, sandstone clay, dolomite and marble. The limestone besides its other uses furnishes the important material Tor fluxes in the iron furnaces and the other yielding the material for man ufacture of building stones, bricks, lime, cement. and of pottery.
