SYMPATHY.

0 sympathy is such a little thing,
But how il helps the heart OF life to
sing,
And how il smoothes the wrinkled
brow Of care
And lifts the heart Of sorrow from

So small, SO wee. so little cost to give
1t.
But conquering worlds are in it when
We live it!

These parents proceeded on the as
sumption that it would be real mis-
fortun for their son if he had to get
up early and work late at some form
of dirty and disagreeable manual en-
ploymnt. Immediately after the great
engineer Eckley B. Coke, graduated

walls and houses, small horizons, swarming
humanity. If we 60 on and up into this
wonderful blueness and freshness, we shall
come to new worlds, fresh values, unknown
powers.
"But the engine is suddenly shut off;
we are planning down rapidly towards the
Paris aerodrome. There is a inomentary
protest in the region of the stomach. The
Airco 10 touches the ground with the softest
caress. We jump out to congratulate the
pilot, and ourselves, on the most delightful
London Paris trip we ever made. Another
motor car comes alongside the aeroplane.
Half an hour later was in the heart of
Paris, talking to prominent French ship
owner, whose London representative had
been speaking to me on the Baltic Exchange
just three and quarter hours before"
According to the Service Aerien Paris
Londres, the bulk of the passengers so far
have been American business men. For a
one way trip 700 francs are charged and
1850 francs for round trip. The service
has now run daily with complete success for
some time, the average time for the trip be-
ing two and quarter hours. Passengers
are granted the privilege of carrying five
hlogrammes of baggage free Of charge,
fee being necessary for all in excess, and the
limit of each passenger being placed at 80
Elogrammes.

Exploring the Air

A method of sending apparatus to the
hitherto unreached higher layers of the air to
regions beyond the earth's atmosphere, and
even as far as the moon itself, is described by
Prof. Robert H. Goddard, of Clark College,
in recent publication for the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington. The new ap-
paratus is multiple-charge high efficiency
rocket of an entirely new design.
"The great scientific value of Prof.
Goddard's experiments says the announce
ment, "lies in the possibility of sending re-
cording apparatus to moderate and extreme
attitudes within the earth's atmosphere. The
nature of the higher levels of the air has for
long time been subject of much specula-
ton as to their chemical composition, tenn
perature, electrical nature, density, ozone
contents, etc.
"The highest level that has ever been
reached up to the present time with record
ing instruments is about 1o miles, accom-
plished with free balloon. As the earth's
atmosphere extends some 200 miles out, there
is great unknown region, knowledge of
which would greatly benefit the science of
meteorology.
"The balloon with its recording ap-
paratus requires several hours to ascend to
its highest altitude, drifts horizontally for
considerable period of time and may come
down at great distance from its starting
point. Its recovery by the sender depends
on the chance of its descent being noticed
and on the willingness of the finder to re-
turn it. Thus it may be days or weeks be-
fore the record taken is made available.
"On the other hand, the new rocket ap-
paratus would 60 straight up and come
straight down, the whole operation probably
consuming less than half an hour. Thus
daily observations at any desired altitude for
use in weather prediction could be easily
taken.
''The time of ascent of the rocket will
be very short, only six and one-half minutes
being required to carry the apparatus up 23O
miles, somewhere near the outer limit of the
earth's atmosphere. The too rapid descent
of the recording instruments could easily be
checked by the use of small parachute.
"Prof. Goddard is at present, under
grant from the Smithsonian Institution, per-
fecting the reloading mechanism whereby
successive charges are inserted in the ex-
plosion chamber during its upward flight,
and it is hoped shortly to be able to demon
strate the practicability and value of this new
type Of rocket Exchange.
