BYRON
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK

HEADING Harold's Pilgrimage,
N Reading truth on every page,
: : Truth and beauty wild, divine,
Low / bow at Byron's shrine.
I can see troubled soul
Grimly cropping for its goal,
Looking to the stars above
From world he did not love;
Sncering in the shadows dim
AT the world that loved not him.
How he fayed the rich and mean
Groveling meath him like worm!
With his satire razor-keen!
How he made the pompous squirm,
Yet his lines at gentler times
Tinkled like cherub's chimes,
Rising Ger his wish to blast
With beauty unsurpassed.
Never knowing joy or peace
Till the summons came in Greece,
What soul of scornful pride
Bounded free when Byron died!

Maqicians of Science

The prince who turned peg
in the neck of his wooden horse
and flew away with his princess
from China to Africa no longer
interests us as he once did. His
story has become too common
place; he was only an imaginary
aviator, and now we have real
ones.
The nagicians of science have
beaten the magicians of romance,
and the latter will have to go out
of business unless they can find
dreams that are less easily turned
into actualities than their old
ones have been.

One Will Run Across the
Sahara Desert to
TimbuCto0

One of them lies across the des-
ert of Sahara, from Algeria,
southwark, to Timbuctoo and
the River Niger Three years
ago French military authorities
sent squadrons of aeroplanes to
Biskra and Dakar with orders
to attack the great desert. Ex-
plorations were made, but moth
ing of serious importance was
accomplished because, as is now
alleged, there was not sufficient
initiative shown by those in
charge of the work. Take the
airships to Colomb-Bechar, says
an experienced aviator, and the
problem will be solved, and the
transit of the desert, which now
requires four months by cara
van, will be made easily in two
days Next year it is expected
this will be done under the lead
of M. Etienne.
Within a few months past two
other great air routes have been
proposed, and preparations are
now under way to attempt their
opening. One of these goes from
Paris to Cairo. and the other
from Paris to Bagdad.
The first, as laid out, passes
across Europe to Constantinople,
thence to Konia in Asia Minor,
then to Aleppo, Jerusalem, GAIA,
Port Said and Cairo. The stopr
ping points and places for re-
victualment have all been marked
out. M. Daucourt, accompanied
by M. Roux as passenger, are
to attempt this passage as soon

GARRETTP. SERVISS
SAYS:


THE first great world roads
were on the land, and they
made rich and powerful
such cities as Palmyra, Damas-
Gus, Cairo, Bagdad, Samarcand,
situated at the beginning or the
end, or at important intersec-
tons, of long and difficult routes
over vast deserts and tangled
mountains.
Then came the great sea routes,
first on the Mediterranean, and
then round the Cape of Good
Hope and Cape Horn, and event
ually across the oceans, which
made, in succession, the fortunes
of Alexandra, Tyre, Carthage,
Venice, Antwerp, London, New
York, San Francisco.
Now enthusiastic aviators are
talking of the establishment of
great world roads in the air, and
it remains for the future to de-
eide whether they, in their turn, 4
will lay the foundations of COM
mercial capitals as yet un-
dreamed of. The atmosphere,
too, has its natural routes, de-
termined partly by the lay of the
land, paftly by the existence of
great centers of population, part
ly by the inaccessibility of points
otherwise desirable for the de-
velopnent of human industry,
and partly by the peculiarities of
winds and air currents.
Three such routes through the
air are being considered for ex-
ploration by French aviators.

The BoIdest Experiment
Aerial Navigation
Has Faced

In this region no aid can be
expected. The explorers will
have to depend upon their own
resources and the excellence of
their apparatus. 1t is the bold
est experiment in aerial naviga
ton that has yet been faced, a
really grand enterprise which
must command the admiration
and best wishes of the whole
world
It is as good as reading the
Arabian Nights" to think about
it. Imagine the speechless
amazement of the inhabitants of
the valley of the Euphrates at
seeing a great mechanical bird,
carrying two men, and guided by
them, coming out of the won
derfu1 west, soaring across the
vast plains where the patriarch
Abraham plodded over the sands
on his long, weary journey to
the future land Of Israel, circling
above the site of the tower OF
Babel, and coming down, at
length, in Bagdad, where Ha-
roun-al- -Raschid, with his vizier,
used to wander about the dark
streets at night to spy out what
his turbaned subjects were about.
Already, before these routes
of the air have been established,
the achievements of men turned
bird have so far distanced the
widest tales of the old Arabian
story. tellers that the imagina-
ton must let out another link in
order to keep apace with them.
