winds over the proposed route. These
winds should be determined, not at the
surface alone, but to as great attitudes in
the free air as possible. 1t is likely that
certain elevations will, i'll the long run,
be more favorable
"Cloudiness and fog-The influence of
the lower clouds and fog upon flying is
very. great. As rule 1T is essential to
retain sight of the earth. When there
are low clouds and fog, however, to keep
in sight of the earth obviously is haz-
ardous proposition.
The danger of flying in clouds is great,
not only because the pilot may lose his
sense OF balance, but because the clouds
may reach the ground without the pilot
knowledge, thus making a crash likely.
1T IS necessary, therefore, i'll laying out
of proposed aerial routes to consider care
fully the frequency OF low clouds and fog
Thunderstorms-It is true that usually
the thunderstorms are essentially n lOca
phenomenon. But the frequency of occur
renee of thunderstorms along u given
route is a thing that it is vitality important
to know.
II emperature-The KNOWLEDGE of mean
temperatures over route is, perhaps, the
most unImportant of the weather factors
With improvement of aircraft engines so
that they function at low temperatures
and the heating of cabins of planes, the
influence of the temperature factor is les
sened."
concerning the meteorological factors IN
selecting flying field, Mr.. Messenger says:
The meteorological aspect cannot be
neglected, for it is conceivable that, I'D
spite OF hundred desirable features on
a landing field there may be certain met
geological characteristics which would
make it utterly unfit for the purpose. For
example: During the war Great Britain
was said to have spent 100000 III build
ing an experimental bombing field. After
the work was we'll along II was found that
neighboring hills gave rise to air eddies
which absolutely prevented safe flying and
100000 francs were wasted. The con
sultation of some statistics probably
would have saved this money.
The altimeter, which measures the
height at which a plane is flying is par
ticularly sensible to changes in atmos
pheric pressure. For example: Chicago is
six hundred feet higher than New York,
The pilot sets his altimeter at zero in
New York. Naturally, we would pre-
sumo that it would read 600 feet at Chi
cago But, suppose there is difference Of
o.40 inches in the ATMOSPHERIC pressure
in Chicago over New York. This makes
difference of $50 feet in the altimeter
reading.

MANY PASSENGERS
CARRIED LAST YEAR
Commercial Airplanes Fly 3,136,5oO
Miles Without Loss of Single
Life, Report Says.

NEW YORK, Feb. S-A total of 49,
1913 passengers flew 3,136,550 miles In
commercial airplaneS during the last II
months without the loss of single lie,
the Manufacturers Aircraft association
announced here today. These figures

Der of passengers and the mileage would
be doubled if the figures of the 1000
commercial airplanes operating in this
country were Obtainable.
In the absence of any federal system
of registration, air laws and government
methods for tabulating the ownership
and performance of aircraft, it has been
found difficult to trace the total num-
ber" the association stated. The totals
are based on missionaries distributed
by the association, but due to the itin-
Grant nature of much of the flying, il
has been difficult to trace and record
moro than half of these. This One-half,
by 81 companies or individuals, are per-
nanently located in all parts of the
United States.
Much of the mileage was made on
short flights of 10 to i miles, for which
an average fee of $3.50 was charged.
An increasing demand for aerial trans
portation between the cities has been
noted, the average charge for this serv-
ice being 60 cents a mile On practi-
cally all inter-city flights baggage or
freight was carried. the quantity limited
only by the capacity of the craft. This
business aggregated II 800 pounds.
There We're accidents and forced
landings. but according to the signed re-
ports from the 81 companies, in the B.
136, $50 miles flown not single life
was lost. There were 222 forced land
ingS and IS accidents. There have been
fatal accidents in other instances, they
occurred in the course of stunt or exhi-
bition performances or under circum-
stances indicating that undue risk had
been taken.

WRITERS TOO SELF-CENTRED
Err in Making Members Of Their Own
Profession Heroes, Is Charge
Made by Critic.

Someone is always explaining what
Is the matter with American literature,
American drama and even American
poetry, and the latest diagnosis is that
they are suffering from ~in-breeding.
The critic who has made this dis
covery says that the literary and dra-
matte world has become too self-cen-
tered !; is going around in a circle in a
manner which produces wheels within
wheels !; and for, this reason authors
and playwrights r forever flying off
at an inartistic tangent and produc-
ing jazz literature and drama.
The favorite hero Of the novelist is
the novelist, and he writes too much
about his early struggles with a cold
and hard-fsted world; the dramatist
takes the poor, oppressed writer Of
plays, or for a diversion, the poor but
gifted actor, as his hero and draws
out their life story Of encouragement
and suffering and final triumph to a
fearful length.
The poet is even accused of prefer
ring to write Of q poet rather than Of
anybody or anything else OF earth; Of
the poet whose sorrows have pressed
so heavily upon him that he is forced
to cry out in sounds which, being inter-
preted, are poetry. To M who gives
this criticism consideration there
seems to be something in Inlay
