Mrs. Gorgas is a native of Cincinnati

fathers intention that she should COM

therefore well equipped to assist him
in tedious research, which she makes a

whether a hyro-aeroplane is boat or q
flying machine, and. if boat, whether

therefore becomes a warship. a thing
which partakes of the character OF
two things. a hybrid, often presents
a puzzle in an effort to fix its
classification. Casuists and hair
splitting experts on definitions and
classifications often befog ordinary
men. but the verdict of the man in the
street or the common man anywhere
sets down the hydro-aeroplane, or tho
hydroplane. as a flying machine. be-
cause, although ii can rest on the water
and rise from water, flying is its dis
tinguishing characteristic. A ship does
not fly except in the metaphor OF
imaginative sea writer's, and then IL
only flies with the wind or before the
wind or down the wind. A hydroplane
can skim along the surface of the sea.
IL the water is smooth enough, but it
does this principally in getting ready
for flight or after alighting from flight.
Its chief purpose is to ride. not the
