the best possible memorial Of his
genius.
OF peculiar interest Just at present
is the fact that the building Of this
machine was made practicable by an
expectation on the part Of our govern
ment that II would be useful for war
purposes It was the war department
that provided the money for its con-
strustion. away back in the earliest

Langley. so far as his theories re-

The JUDGE Hit Back.

A late police magistrate was q most
painstaking judge In all dts cases. and
In important ones It was his custom to
defer summing vi, until the next sit
ting of the court. On one occasion he
gave an exhaustive decision on case,
after which the lawyer for the plain
tiff rose and questioned it
Pardon NE" said his worship. Il
cannot allow you to reopen the case
after have given my final decision
l may be wrong. but that is my opin-
ion.''
The lawyer quickly replied:
Then, your worship. / know It Is no
use knocking my head against brick
wall. / suppose must sit down
The. magistrate adjusted his eye
glasses and, looking sarcasticaily at
the lawyer. said;
t.Sir, I know 1t is no use you knock
ing your head against brick wall. but

could perform such an operation with
