NEW SECRET OF THE AIR.
Expert Discovers How Birds Remain
MotionIess In Air Currents.

An important advance is considered
to have been made in the science OF
aviation by Joseph Cousin, who for
some time past has been recognized as
as eminent French authority on the
laws of fight and now asserts that he
has discovered a hitherto unknown
law, which he calls that of 'presenta-
ton"
This, he declares, is an essential,
although hitherto unsupported, prin-
ciple in the motion of any body in a
fluid medium, such as a bird in the air
or q fish in water, and it explains the
problem of how birds remain motion
less and stationary in a strong cur
rent of air and also fly at very high
speed with a small expenditure of en-
ergy.
presentation" he says, consists Of
special adaptation both in the form of
a flying body and the manner in which
it is offered to the direction of the cur
rent. 1t acts by causing the fluid me-
dunn to form a counter pressure be-
hind the body actually stronger than
that opposed to it in front. thus enor-
mously assisting the progress of the
body.
"Once this principle Of the forma-
ton of a counter pressure by guiding
and directing the air current shall be
fully recognized and applied in the
construction of aeroplanes," says NJ.
Cousin, "the result will be almost per-
feet security and an immense increase

Mean Farmer,

The meanest man on record is said
to be a farmer, who lives in Kansas.
He sold his son-in-law one half a COW
and then refused to divide the milk,
maintaining that he sold only the
front half. The buyer was also re-
quired to provide the feed the COW
consumed and compelled to carry wa
ter to her three times a day. Recent
ly the COW hooked the old man, and
now he is suing his son-in-law for
damages.
