MAY CROSS THE ATLANTIC
Dutch Aviator Seems to Have the
Right Idea In Project He
Has In Mind.

Between Brazil and Guinea the At
lantic ocean is only about 1900 miles
wide. From Newfoundland to Ireland.
the narrowest breadth north Of the
equator, Is nearly twice as far From
New York to the nearest point Of
France is nearly three times as far.
Hitherto most schemes of aerial flight
across the Atlantic have contemplated
some northern route. That suggested
by the authorities Of the San Francisco
exposition is by way of Labrador,
Greenland and Iceland. It has re-
NAMED for the Dutch aviator, Van der
Born, to make the first preparation to
cross the ocean from continent to con.
tinent without stop, and he proposes
to take the southern route. where the
Atlantic Is narrowest.
Van der Born Is now supervising the
construction OF new type of hydro
aeroplane. When 1t Is complete he will
go to the port of Konakey. In French
Guinea. whence he promises to fly to
Pernambuco. Brazil.
The scheme is more plausible than
any Of the other discussed trans
oceanic flights. 1t is natural and sen.
sible that the first crossing should be
attempted at the narrowest place, even
though the flight must be longer than
any one of the stages OF the Green
land route. There Is. of course, the
danger of tropical air currents. but
these are not much more to be feared
than the storms Of sub-Arctlc regions
which are suggested for the northern
route.
No one who has observed the prog
ress Of aviation doubts that before
long the Atlantic will be crossed by
some venturesome flyer. There is no
reason to maintain an attitude of
scepticism toward the aviators of our
own day, who have done so much in
so brief time, and who may do as
much more within the next few years.

Steel In old skyseraper.

Among the first Of the tall ONCE

stories high was considered a sky

recent demolition has called attention
to It's position among pioneer con-
structions Of the modern type once

credited as the first example Of steel

years ago, and affords valuable info:-
