risk their lives in hare-brairet
adventure, but very practical
method Of developing the art Of
aerial navigation. The 'tairman'
unlike the mariner, Is not a naN-
gator in two dimensions only, but
in three. He has to deal with
cubical space and his evolutions
are performed up and down Al
well as to right and left.
He finds no surface in the air
to glide upon except as he msSes
il for himself, and his voyages
are made at continually changing
levels. The air is all around him
and its currents may assail him
from any direction; accordingly
he must render himself familiar
with all their vagartes snd b
prepared to take advantage Of
every popularity that they msy
present. The man who loses hh
life in advancing our knowledgs
of the ways of the air Is a marty
to as worthy a cause as was ever
offered to the spirit Of heroism.

NNE great difference between
the navigation of the water
and that of the air must
never be lost sight of--in the first
case the navigator travels on the
surface OF the element that bears
him; in the second, he travels
through and in the midst Of that
element. The aeroplanist Is rather
a fish than a sailor. But his ma
chine has no buoyant bladder, like
a balloon or a FISH, and must de-
pend upon Its motion to support
it. Possibly If Sir William Ram
says reported discovery of a gas
sixteen times lighter than hydro
gen proves to be a reality aero
planes may hereafter be furnish
ed with supporting bladders
which will not be too cumbrous
for use, like the gas bags Of to-
day, but, in the meantime, the
machine must be developed along
its original lines, which exclude
any support except that furnish
ed by the reaction of its planes on
the air.

x AN OLD LANE
BY WILLIAM 2. KIRK

W.T. HIDING meath a crumbling gate,
M Weedy and all desolate,
w Where in long forgotten days
Lilac bushes waved their sprays
And the wild rose, full Of dew,
Slngle-petalled fragrance threw;
Where In years long passed away
Trembling lovers worshipped May;
Now it stretches, weird and grim.
Over toward a forest dim
As a disappointed soul
Looks in vain to find it's goal;
All the fragrance, all the bloom,
Dead and turned to haunting gloom
There it was that long ago
Standing in the sunsets glow
| beseeched a girl divine
To be mine and only mine.
There she said, with naughty glance,
"ioI big rube, there amt chance,"

ference between some Of the English
and Irish specimens Of the last century
and the careful copies which are now
being made of them In European factO-

ford glass is now the most sought after
by collectors. but equally beautiful
pieces were made in the Cork and Dub
lin glass houses. Glassmaking can be
traced back for about 1900 years to the
people who lived on the eastern shores
Of the Mediterranean, but its origin has

are still the same, and their proper
tons seem to have varied very little.
