DISCOVERS LAW OF AIR
TO MAKE AVIATlAN SAFE

Paris. Nov. 2O.-An important ad-
vance Is considered to have been
made In tn. science OF aviation by
JoscEh Cousin. who for some time
has been recognized as nm authority
In laws OF flight. and now asscr,s
that he has discovered hitherto uu-
known law. which he calls that of
"prescntatIon.'
This. he declares. Is an essential.
although hitherto unexpected, prin-
ciplc In the motion ot any body In
fluid medium such as bird In tn"
air or the fish In tho water. and II
explains the problem Of hiw birds
remain motlonlcss and stationary In
n strong current OF mir. and also !ly
n; high speed with small cNpcn-
d!turr OF energy.
''Pr.s.ntn;ion." he says. consists
Of special adoption both In the form
OF flying body and the manner In
which It Is offered to the direction
OF the current. II acts by onurinE
the fluid medium to form n counter
pressure behind the body actually
stronger than that opposed to 1t In
front. thus enormously assisting the
progress OF the body.
Once th!z principle OF the formn-
iIon of n court.r current pressure hy
guiding and directing thc mir current
shall be fully recognized and applied
in the connection of acroplanos.
says NJ. Cousin. the result VIII be
almost perfect security ana an I'M

NO FEDERAL AID FOR SCHOOLS
WANTED.

niscredited at home, his sugges,
tons having less than a feathers
weight with this legislature; but with
an inward craving for the limelight
gSWhich he diSpOrted during the glad
Sanders days that are no more, State
Superintendent of Education Thos. H
Harris, emerged from obscurity to
suggest at the National Educational
Convention at Chicago, this week,
that the deplOrable condition of ru-
raj schools called for Federal help
and control. Only desire to
say something he knew not what; to
open his mouth at all events, even
if he put his foot in it; or a strong
er inclination to say something start
ling and sensational can explain this
utterance. If he was emboldened by
the present appeal for Federal con-
troll of levees to fancy that the doc
trine of states rights is weakened
and that the people of the Southern
states are also ready to give up all
control of their internal affairs, ev-
en- their schools, for lucre from the
national treasury, he is entirely mis-
taken in the people of the South.
Federal control of interstate water
ways is right, because no one COM
monWealth can lay claim to, or have
entire management Of these streams,
but control of the schools is quite, a
different matter, for reasons. many
but too obvious for mention.
The rural schools do need i'm
proVement. They have been sadly
neglected and scrimped for the sake
Of the high schools, and other city
schools, and of the various visitors"
that abound in the system i'm Louisi.
ana at least, but humble as these
schools are, limited in means and
restricted in curriculum, they con-
tinue to turn out the great men of
the nation.

HE WAS THINKING OF THEM.

Mrs Robert G. Wickliffe who has
been here since last week attending
to property interests, has had many
callers to express the emotions of a
bereavement suffered in common by
all his constituents in the death OF
their beloved congressman, and which
can only be directed to a feeling OF
tenderness for his widow and his on
ly child.
Mrs. WiCkliffe says that it was a
favOrite resort of Mr.. Wickliffe, that
quiet spot beside the Potomac. Per
hapS it reminded him of the dear old
Mississippi so far away, but certain
it is that he often went there to thin
out his problems. In this last tragic
instance he had gone thither for that
purpose. He had come back from
Louisiana much depressed by the
flood conditions, beset by a sense of
failure in the breaking Of the leVee
at Bayou Sara, and entirely absorbed
by the problem of what he could do
for the benefit of his people. Such
thoughts as these were in his mind

stream, that fatal morning, as he sat

upon them however to fill his place
as well as can be done in the cir
cumstances: seeking, ability, energy,
and that aIl-impOrtant feeling of con-
secration to the public service that
characterizes a true statesman. None
other can worthily step into the
place of Robert G. WiCkliffe.
