states fourth. In fancy flying France

seems to be able to do almost any

Curious Accidents.
Flying over cities was the next
achievement in aeroplaning, and in
one or two places this has led to curl
Gus accidents such as that which hap
pened to Monsieur Gilbert. Il French
aviator. who while flying over the sub
urbs of Paris was compelled to drop
on the roof of factory to avoid
falling into crowded street. This was
caused by his misunderstanding the dis
lance. Another curious accident which
also happened in France was that
which occurred during a race at Buc
where the machine piioted by Bidot,
who was carrying n passenger. dropped
upon another aeroplane. Both the
machines took fire: the pilot OF one
together with his passenger was
burned to death. Several times two
machines have collided in the air. and

fiatter the little tyrant. and have al
lowed his education to be entirely neg
lected.
The Empress nervousness and fear
for the safety of the boy have made
the life of the daughters Of the royal
house most unhappy, and the two
older ones have repeatedly declared
that they longed for early marriages
to take them away from the palace.
AS there is little hope that the Care
Witch will ever reach manhood. the
royal parents have grown desperate
over the situation and the Empress
has resorted to consulting spiritual
lists and certain monk named
Gregor Raspoutne who was favored
by the Grand Duchess Eliza beth, a
sister of the Czarina. This man was
called to the palace where he per
lief that the little heir would be safe
while he was near, SO Raspoutine took
up his residence at the palace.
But the people did not believe in
this. and finally through the influence
Of the late NJ. Stolypin the monk was
sent away. The little Czarevitch fell
i'll in 1912 and the Empress demand
ed that Raspoutine be frought back,
and today she firmly believes that the
prayers Of this monk saved the child's
life. SO, the man remains at the pal

Aviation schools were started in
various parts of the world and aero
planning soon became known as a sport.
Langly Cody. Bleriot, Latham. Curtiss
and Moissant at once became famous,
the last three named having made
flights across the English Channel.
Three years ago an American wom-

the same feat flying In n monoplane.
Miss Quimby was killed near Boston
a year later by falling one thousand
feet.
Unique Damage Suits.
Soon aeroplanes became so common
In France that the farmers of that
country began to consider them a
nuisance and several entered suit for
damages, claiming that their crops
had been destroyed by the machines
alighting on their land. Then. too,
they claimed that colts had been
ruined by being frightened by the noise
OF the motor. that the animals are
never able to overcome tho fright and
cannot be used for driving horses.
Chickens and ducks they declared died
from fright when the big machines
"swooped" down over the barnyards

flights, or rather attempted flights, are
matters of record in the history OF
aviation and go to show the fruitless-

The first heavier than air machines
were known as gliders. These were
tried by such men as Lilienthal in
Germany, Pitcher in England, the
Wright brothers in America and Chan

While these experiments were going
