DOES OWNER
 0FPROPERTY
 CONTROL AIR?

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 29 (by maiD D.-Whether a property owner is also owner of the air above his land is to be determined through a court action brought by Frederick Hoene- mann, farmer He seeks to res train a company owning airplanes from using the air above his farm.
 Hoenemann contends that sight of the machines and the noise of their engines disturb the livestock.
 There is said to be no direct prece- dent to guide the court, and the case is causing wide discussion in legal circles.
 Legal experts of England have dis cussed the matter from the stand point of national ownership of the air, it is said.
 Some lawyers contend that free dom of the seas and freedom of the air are the same, while others assert the courts have held that ownership carries with it light and air above the property as well as the earth be- meath.
 It is pointed out that when the steam engine came there were many law suits, the plaintiffs contending that the noise as we'll as the danger jeojardized their stock. The Massa- chusetts Supreme Court, however, rendered the opinion that the locomo- tive was lawful and in keeping with progress. Attorneys say a similar condition arose when the motor cars cGme into use, but the highest court of Indiana ruled in their favor on the grounds that the law must keep pace with progress.

The Hnttest CITY.

The city Of nyderabad. on the great
Sind desert of India, has the reputa-
ton Of being the hottest place ia the
world. having shade temperature OF
127 degrees during the summer
months Even the natives find it hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible, the people make use OF
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, setting" them so
as TO convey breeze 10 the dwellers
IN the hot rooms below. Every resi-
dental building has several OF these
queer airshafts leading down 10 the
principal living rooms, and especially
TO the bedrooms. Even so, II is prac-
tically impossible, during the terrible
heat Of summer, to get TO sleep until
two or three O'clock In the morning.
and then one only gets a couple OF
hours rest, as the rays of the Indian
sun are specially strong early in the
morning, and soon raise the tempera-
ture again 10 an unbearahle extent.
