Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1912-03-06


In fact. the atmosphere is far more
treaoherous in It's moods and far less
stable In its conditions than the stormlest
ocean, and II possesses certain strange
secrets which may never be fully OWNED
More terrible to the asronaut and the
aviator, and more inexplicable than the
whelming surges which sometimes sweep
a ship from end to end In midocean, are
those egregious phenomena known as
holes In the air"
An aeroplane entering one Of these
low density regions from the air of higher
density around It," says C. @. Looming.
will suddenly fall without any warn
ing. merely because the pressure has
enormously decreased and the areoplane
has not had time to attain the requisite
velocity Of support In this lighter
medium. "

avlators; but what Is the explanation and
how shall the danger be guarded againstP
How can there he in the midst OF the
air place where the density suddenly
becomes so small, relatively. that the
effect upon an aeroplan Is almost as "
It had plunged into a vacuum? These
places cannot be seer as q coming bill
low on the sea can be observed afar
off. The aviator Is aware Of their ex-
istence only when he suddenly finds his
machine plunging and dropping.
A scientific Journal critcising Mr..
Loehings statement. speaks as II the
only conceivable cause OF q ''holo in
the air. must be a violent whirl. like
the center OF a cyclone. But nothing
Of the kind Is ever observed. The air
Is not disturbed. everything goes smooth
~, and. without warning. the machine
runs into a hole"
The probability is that the change In
density Is far less than II seems to be.
The disastrous effect Is due to the deli
which the aeroplane depends for its sta
hility. A drop in atmosphere density
which might not be very noticeable with
the barometer would suffice tn upset
that shadowy equilibrium. and tho slight
change in the supporting force would
cause the mechin1 TO swerve. plunge
and become instantaneously unmanage-
able. Recent investigations OF the up
Per air have shown that extraordinary
differences OF density exist In adjacent
atmosphere layers; and It must be as
sumed that similar differences are cap
able OF manifesting themselves in parts
Of the air nearer the earth's surface.
Their precise cause remains to be dis
covered. but their existence is as
menacing to a swiftly moving aeropIane
as would be a nest Of quicksands TO a
galloping horse.

earnest manner In which they make their
religion a part of their daily lives.

to find some one who did not speak Of his

DENVER GIRL EMBARkS IN NEW
BUSINESS.

The beaten paths of plain and fancy
sewing have been left behind by one
Denver needle artist, and a veritable
boon has been conferred upon the la
dies who have found the usual diff
culties in having corsets made to or
der and to measure. 1t is hard enough
to have courteous attention in the fit
ting of ready made. corsets at stores,
but corsets made to measure have
been impossible until now. This op-
portunity for Denver ladies comes as
a result of the ambition of Miss Be-
atrice Lewis of 2339 Gilpin street.
She finished a course under one of
the great corsetieres of the West a
short time since and has already dem
onstrated her proficiency and art for
several customers. She uses mater
ials of the best grade, all patterns
with workmanship and fit guaranteed.
In no sense does she palm off ready
made goods for her own make. This
stroke of enterprise should prove
profitable for her and a blessing to
the community.

had under the most comfortable con-
ditions. Now it will be pleased to
learn that the Midway, the pioneer
show house of that section, is under
the same management as the Grand.

Uniform Athletic
Rules for COny.

The following rules in regard to the
eligibility of students to take part in
athletics We're posted, Thursday. by
Prin. Stuart on the bulletin boards at
Cony High school. These rules We're
discussed, last spring, at a special
meeting of the High school principals
of the State in this city, but We're not
adopted by the Augusta Board of Edu
cation until their last meeting.
1t is proposed 10 have the same rules
govern every High school in the State
and It is expected that those who have
not already adopted them will in the
near future. These rules do not, how
ever, prevent any school from having
rules. which are striGter than the new
ly adopted rules.
The rules are drawn up in four Sec
tions and are as follows:
Art. No boy shall be eligible for
any ;nterscholastic athletic contest
who is not maintaining for the current
term, and who has not carried success
