AIR POCKETS
From the Indianapolis News.


In the early days Of aviation, when
aviators took sudden falls for which thsy
could not account, they explained that
they had encountered an air pocket. But
gated the peculiarities Of the air and
found that there IL no such thing as an
air pocket as meant by ayiators Thes
pockets were thought to be either par.
the currents or accommodations OF gas %
different from air that when the aeroplans
entered IL could not accommodate Itself
to the new conditions quickly enough and
an aeroplane apparently to lose It's grip
on the air and suddenly fall 100 feet
leaving the aviator as helpless as the
driver Of a slxidding automobile. Before
Of aeroplanes were devised there were
many falls from this cause.
The Smithsonian institution expert
ments discarded the vacuum theory as
impossible for the simple reason that
under all conditions air in the same plane
retains the same density. And II was
shown that a gas pocket could not exist
because 1t would tend 70 mix with tn.
holes in the air seems to have originated
because Of a sudden encounter with
cataract which bore the machine down.
ward. There are currents In the air
caused by the wind and differences In
temperature, and some OF thes cuerrentS
flow upward and downward, like foun:
tains or 'cataracts. In summer cool
wind which encounters a spot on the
earth which Is warmer than the surround
ing country-as, for instance, a desert
turns upward. An aviator may rise in
such a fountain, fly for some distance In
1t, and then come to the edge. His ma
chine Immediately begins to drop, and
II he gains control in time to save him
self he tells, when he reaches the earth,
that he ran into an air pocket The edges
of these fountains are sometimes SHARPLY
defined, so that an aviator may find one
wing of his machine perllously tipped. He
then believes that the downward wing
has encountered a vacuum pocket. The
cataracts come from the currents which
follow the contour Of the land.
In referring to the experience OF AVA
tors about New York, the New York Sun
states that in crossing the Hudson river
above the city over the palisades aviator:
expect q drop OF from 100 to 200 feet, and
they are seldom disappointed. And tho"
who attempt to fly low over the skyscrap;;
er section Of the city often run into aerial
cataracts, fountains, gusts and eddes
caused by the irregularities In the heights
of the buildings and the difference In
temperature, which Is much higher over
the city than over the bay. But the dan
ger from air pockets is disappearing. AS
a rule, the faster the speed OF the machine
the less danger there Is from this source.
And with modern machines In the HANDS
of men whom experience has taught 70
watch for sudden drops, tho chance OF a
fall Is considerably reduced.

A Universal Thought.
From the BROOKLYN Eagle.

The country, regardless of political
creed, was united by q single thought re,
Gently when the news was flashed around
that Colonel Roosevelt had been taken
suddenly Ill. Until II became known that
there was nothing seriously the matter
with him, thousands of people felt q
strange tugging In the same anatomical
region as that in which the colonel SUI
fered. Thought was stimulated, imagna,
ton was fired, memory was aroused and
there took place one Of those psychology
cal upheavals that bear evidence to the
universally Of understanding. It Is not
necessary to attempt to formulate INTO
words the thought that was uppermost 10
the public mind. II was not expressed.
and viii not be expressed, but 1t was no
less real on that account. II has been SAID
that thoughts are things. This Is conced,
ed when they are expressed. Here was d
big, spontaneous thought that has an eO-
quence of it's own that springs from inc
fact that It was not expressed. All the
friends of Colonel Roosevelt are happy 70
know that his slight indispositfon has not
even impaired his robust humor.

CHAPTER XIII.

How long Duane was travelling out
of that region he never knew. But he
reached familiar country and found al
rancher who had before befriended him.
Hereshis arm was attended to; he had
food and sleep; and in q couple Of
weeks he was himself again.
When the time came for Duane to
ride away on his endless trail, his
friend reluctantly impaired the infor-
nation that some 80 miles south, near
the village Of Shirley, there was posted
at a certain cross road q reward for
Buck Duane, dead or alive. Duane had
heard OF such notices, but he had never
seen one. His friends reluctance and
refusal to state for what particular
deed this reward was offered reused
Duane's curiosity. He had never been
any closer to Shirley than this ranch
er's home. Doubtless some postoffice
burglary, some gun shooting scrape
had been attributed to him. And he
had been accused of worse deeds,
Abruptly Duane decided to ride over
there and find out who wanted him
dear or alive, and why.
AS he started south on the road he
reflected that this was the first time
no had ever deliberately hunted from
BILE. Introspection awarded him this
knowledge; during that last terrible
flight on the lower Nueces and
while he lay abed recuperating he had
changed. A fixed. immutable, hopeless
bitterness abided with him. He had
reached the end Of his rope. All the
power Of his mind and soul were I'M
available to turn him back from his
fate. That fate was to become an out
law in every sense OF the term, to be
what he was credited with being-that
is to say, to embrace evil. He had never
committed n crime. He wondered now
was crime close to him? He reasoned
finally that the desperation of crime
had been forced upon him, IL not its
motive; and that II driven, there was
no limit to his possibilities. He under
stood now many of the hitherto mex
plicable actions of certain noted out
laws-why they had returned to the
scene Of the crime that had outlawed
them why they took such strangely
fatal chances; why life was no more
to them than a breath Of wind; why
they rode straight into the Jaws OF
death to confront wronged men or
Eunting rangers, viligantes, to laugh
in their very faces. 1t was such BIT
terness as his that drove these men.
