1t was the year 1852.
Five thousand feet above the heart
OF New York city, staunch and serene
at its aerial anchorage, rode the great
pneumatic receiving float Of the Five
Continents & Australia Aerial line. In
the master airigator's room on the
float group of officers were gathered
around old Capt Martin MacManus,
master Alligator, retired, the oracle Of
the line.

what days?" asked Captain Mac
Manus.
"The days OF the land and water
era" replied the young man. THE
years just preceding the aerial era.
I've just been reading reprint Of an
ancient magazine article, The Sport
OF Aerial Navigation dated 1912"
The group Of airigators laughed as
one man.

ascent. All, then was when the world
began to get interested. You see, be-
fore then there had been nothing to
arouse the curiosity in the fact that a
man was attempting to fly. Everybody
knew what his finish would be. There
was no novelty in watching what could
only end one way; and that was in the
days when the world was young and
crazy for novelty. But with the COM
ing Of the first air machine that gave
man chance to come back to earth
otherwise than on his head, then there
was something to feed the curiosity.
and then was when the excitement
grew warm and air-sailing was looked
upon as sport.
You may think from this that peo-
pie were blood-thirsty in those DAYS.
but on the contrary they had travelled
far from the days OF the old Roman
arena The Romans turned thumbs
down If the show was dull; but the
people Of the age OF 1912 only fought
one another for souvenir pieces of the
aeroplane in which their favorite ayi-
ator, as they called them then. had

vast strides.
The sport Of 1t worked this way:
Some financiers under the name of
some club would advertise what they
called an aviation meet. They would
offer money prizes, for this'was in the
days when people would do anything
for money. There would be prizes for

Of curiosity. We've seen it all. In
1912 the human race was badly af-

thing they never had seen before. For
one thing they wanted to see how far

neck. That's what made them look
upon aeroplane flying as a sport.
There was a long time. you see,
when men actually didn't know
whether they could sail the air. They
were afraid of the air. The earth they

STOP BEGGING IN FRANCE
Authorities Have Scheme Which
They Think Will Tend to Allie
viate the Evil.

Every now and again, when we go
round to the Paris Police Prefecture
to see and hear the record of the city's
happenings of the day, an official re-
marks: "You won't want this, gem
tlemen, take it? The usual story.
Dead beggar in the garnet, money in

How much?" The amounts vary
from one hundred pounds to couple.
OF thousand, and newspaper interest
in the occurrence dies with that.
But the authorities here have been
working on scheme for the suppress
sion of fraudulent begging. There are
far too many beggars in Paris, who
leave considerable sums of money be-
hind them when they die. These peo-
pie have invariably been helped, if not
entirely supported, by the Assistance

many months Tin other words, the tax
payers, theatergoers and racegoers
have been keeping them), the chart
table have placed money in their grimy
hands, and when the police find the
inevitable sum of money hidden in the
mattress or elsewhere in the inevita-
bly, grimy garnet, it is inevitah e that
legitimate heirs appear, who prove
their near relationship to the dead
man or woman, and carry off the mon
ey, to the public loss and their own
private gain.

day morning printed a story to the
effect that a secret and fruitlees
search for the body of Lopez. the
Mexican bandit, was made in the
Andy workings of the Apex mine Sat.
urday night.
The searchers are said to have
spent three hours in the mine, search
ing the likely places for the body Of
the Mexican, afterward leaving as
they had entered and replacing the
bulkhead. Nothing was found chang.
ed. according to the two members Of
the party interviewed. No evidence
that the Mexican had been in the
mine since the bulkheads were put
there was found, 1t is said, except nu.
merous candle ends that might have
been left by him or by miners and
guards.
According to the story told the
searchers visited the spot in the Andy
incline where j. Douglas Hulsey and
Thomas Manderich were killed; the
seven stope, where Lopezs bedding
was found two weeks ago, and the
eleven stope, where it was believed
he was heard on the morning when
