ADVANCE OF AVIATION.
Perfection OF the Motor and tho Eduea :
ton Of the Bird Man.

What seems to have been overlooked
In discussing the development of the
aeroplane is the cducItipn Of the avia-
tor himself AZ iirst man did not know
what could be done with his new toy
remember distinctly. only so far back
as 1910 at Belmont park. the aviators
would look up nj the flags over the
hangers and II they were stirred by
more than II breath OF wind they re-
fused to take the air. Nowadays N
Hier must lie poor indeed II he cannot
manage to handle his machine In n
thirty mile wind. while II good many
flights have been made In winds hav
ing a velocity Of mile minute or
greater.
The remarkable advance.of aviation.
therefore, IS really due not so much to
the development of the aer0plnnp itself,
either mechanically or acrodynnnical-
ly. as to the perfection of the motor
and the education Of the aviator, There
Is no question but what I'm avintor of
today could take one OF the machines
made In IONS and do "sIunts" which
were not thought possible Mt the time
the machine was constructed.
Aviators have learned more about the
invisible air currents and the possiblli-
ties OF their machines and have be-
come more and more daring MS time
went on. Furthermosa as soon as
competition appeared md one aviator
was placed against another each one
was gOaded on to take greater and
greater risks This process developed
the exhibition bird man NJ you see him
today. He Is a Gier who will navigate
In any wind and will arise from and
alight upon almost any field
And the remarkable part Of II all
Ia that the accidents are so few In view
OF the large number OF men dying and
the enormous distances covered. The
death roll is so much discussed largely
because upon the addition Of every new

LEGENDS OF ST. SOPHIA.
Quaint Tales Of The Beautiful Mosque
In Constantinopis.

In stantinopie.
Famed throughout the world for Its
beautiful architecture. the mosque Of
ct. Sophia has a legend that acquires
sudden interest now," writes Euro
peau correspondent Of the Chicago
News.
''Originally the mosque was a Chris
tian church. The priest was In tue act
Of celebrating mnss on that memorable
10Th day Of May. 1853. when sultan
M0hammed rode his horse into the sa-
cred edlfice. followed by his victorious
Turks, and began slaughtering the
Christians. The priest fed from the
altar, passing through a small door be-
hind Il, but when the pursuing Turks
reached the spot. intending to follow
the priest. they found but blank wall.
The door had disappeared. and all
traces of the fugitive were gone.
"But the story goes that when once
again the mosque Of st. Sophia be-
comes Christian place Of worship the
wall will open Of its own accord and
reveal the secret door, out Of which the
aged priest will step forth to conclude
the celebration Of the mass mt the altar.
Another legend, recounted even by
the Turks themselves. tells Of two
monumental candles built into the apse
Of the mosque. On every high Chris
tian festival these candles are SUPER
naturally set alight. When these can
dies are quite burned down into their
sockets the Turkish domination will be
over and the mosque Of holy wisdom
will be q Christian church once more"
