Birthday Of the AeropIane

n view OF the marvellous achieye-
ments in long distance fights in
Europe and America, and the
various uses to which flying machines
have been put in the war as well as
in the postal service OF the United
States, it is interesting to recall that
the fifteenth birthday of the aero-
plane has Just passed. Only Ifteun
years old-and what wonders has IL
not accomplished!
A couple of young men, who owned
a bicycle repair shop in Dayton, o.,
used their spare time to tinker" on
flying machine. The neighbors con-
sidered them crazy, but harmless, and
perfectly safe TO be at large. Finally
they hit upon a contraption to which
twin propellers and sixteen horse-
power four cylinder gasoline motor
were atiached-d winged affair with
a movable or elevating rudder IN
'front.', winch looked like a cross be-
tween a large eagle and a nightmare
This machine they took to XIII Devil
sand hills near Kitty Hawk. n. g.
and on Dee. II, 1903, they made four
successful flights on one of which
tho aoroplane Travelled distance Of
S52 feet. ~
And now avlators go wineing their
way across half the continent, or flv
from London to Paris between lunch
and dinner, while others do stunts in

There is tho very rich woman, she
told me. whose husband, although he
had accumulated an enormous for
tune, was still digging away to give
lis wife more and more. She made
lis life a perfect Iadcs, said the
nurse.
All through the day, when he was
away, she would be resting quietly
and getting along all right. No soon
or did she hear him coming up the
stairs than she began to get irri-
table and ugly and cast the most
awful gloom about everything.
81 asked this woman why 1t was
that she could not bc as nice when
her husband was around as when he
WASN'T" said the nurse, "and she
actually had tho audaCity to tell ne
that he ought to feel somo OF Ior
misery and not be going around free
from everything whilo she was SUI
r,ring.
This woman acted tho same
toward her children. ThoIr meal hour
was a very, very unpleasant one, be-
cause the mother always insisted 10
showing her worst side ana givlns
them all detected time"
In TRUTH" the nurse explained, "it
was all foignod on her part. She
would make them believe she was
near deaths door lots Of times I'm
order 90 alarm them. and when /
would get her temperature and pulse
there would be nothing more the
matter with her than ordinarily.
When told the family that accord
ing to indications she was all right.
they soon understood it was tan
trums. and 1t became like the wolf
story-they paid no attontion to her
"She was most selfish and migrate
