Sir--'rwelve wears ago the writer pro
pounded a proposition TO men VINO are sup
posed TO BE- wise in things sclentiho ana
practical. These men had TO admit theN
could not pick flaw in the presentation OF
facts made by the Undersigned, but In
some Instances at least. looked as u thes
felt the ground slipping beneath their teet.
The question propounded. briefly stated
was as follows: Ia Il not universally ac-
ceptad fact that the earth revolves upon It's
sxis7 Is Il not an accepted scientific fact
that surrounding this planet Is an aunos-
pheric belt7 Is II not a generally accsp'ec
fact that II person or thing could pene-
trste this atmospheric belt that the person
q" thing would no longer be controlled by
the force Of gravity as 1t eXerts Itself upon
this ea rth today?
Accepting these three universally accepted
theories as correct. what ts TO prevent ava
tors in the future. provided they can pen
citrate the atmospheric orbit surrounding
our earth. and could hold an airpane IN
practical aoeyance, from waiting as many
hours were necessary, descending al tht
proper moment in tho proper angle and
In ndnR upon any part Of the earth. in al
least the same latitude. or approximately
thereto. in less than twenty-tour hours, and
at some Of the leading cities OF the Old
World In much less time?
During those last twelve years great strides
have been made in aviation. Aviators have
ascended 10000 feet. Oxygen helmets
are fast being improved and the aviator
in a strange atmosphere might retain life
With the helmets now in Heat could be
furnished BY chemical processes or BY the
electricity generated in the operation OF the
machine Is II not possible that some day,
God willing. man will yet ascend high
in the heavens and wait for London. Paris.
Asia Africa. tho Islands OF the sea. to come
TO him instead Of him going TO them?
I said God willing. for there are some
things that men are not to know, not to do,
and death and disa ppoi ntment will meet their
efforts II they endeavor to pierce the secrets
which God has wled should be forever
withheld from man. But is It not likely
that with the perfection OF the sIr-climbins
machine. which has recently been invented,
that man may yet pass above the bank OF
atmosphere which surrounds our earth. re-
tain life and descend upon the earth AZ q
far distant point which has been brought
almost directly under him by the sxial mo-
