Instructive c-imicrY.

Why If one man on the street takes
out his watch do others do the same:
Among the very early instincts rerog-
nized In the human mind are mimicry
and curiosity. Mimicry develops into
habit. as when we see many persons
walking faster than we do We grad
ually fall into their gait and in time
this faster gait becomes habitual with
us. Every instinct einanates from one
or the other of the fundamental in
stincts. self preservation and race pres
ervation. Every action that benefits
the human being can be traced back to
the instinct ot self preservation. and
among these actions are the acquisi-
ton of knowledge. even the knowledge
of the time of day.
Instructive mlmicry creates an i'm
pulse which IN the case of the man
looking at his watch upon seeing an
other do the same. is supported by an
other instinct. curiosity. and by the
human faculty reason. We therefore
follow the impulse and look at our
wateh.-New York American.

THIS YEARS
AER0PLANES.
Features Of New Models Exhib-
lied In Paris Salon.
NO FREAK MACHINES SHOWN.
Green or Slate Color Used With the
Object of Making the AeropIanes In
visible In the Air--Protection Against
Rifle Fire.

There are no freak machines on view
at the Aviation salon this year, accord
ing to the Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Mail. There is mark
ed preference for the fish or torpedo
outline. The surface of the wings
has decreased, and progress has been
made in reducing everything that Of
ally being discarded in favor of steel
and aluminium.
Nearly one-half of the aeroplanes
shown are green or slate colored. with
the object of making them invisible
in the air. In several cases the air
men are protected against rife fire.
The attempt made last year in the
Paulhan biplane which was acquired
by the war office, TO obtain 1exibility
of wing, is repeated this year. though
to less extent, by the biplane shown
by the German Albatrosswerke. which.
in addition TO a wooden chassis of I'M
usual construction. has very flexible
edges to its birdllke wings. The fact
that there are only fifteen biplanes to
thirty-nine monoplanes in the show
indicates the predominant position for
military purposes at present held by
the monoplane. but there is on view
more than one biplane which pos
sesses important merits from the mill
tary point of view.
Among the latter machines, besides
the Albatross, may be mentioned the
Savary with its two big tractor screws
and the Sloan, which follows in its
lower plane the curving of a birds
wings and has big ailerons which are
said to give it an exceptional sliding
angle. AilerOns movable panels at
tached to the edge of the Wings. by
the way, seem nearly extinct. Even
the biplane makers who used to try
them in all sorts Of shapes appear to
have dropped them this year and to
rely on warping instead.
Several firms show the impressive
engine rooms Of airships. and there is
one complete airship, the Astra.
