RUN BY MECHANICAL PILOT
Experiment Recently Made In Eng and
Declared to Have Been an
Enthusiastic Success.

A writer in the London Mail de-
lscribes how a mechanical air pilot,
the first to be fitted to an air express
flying regularly on the cross-channel
airWay, was demonstrated at the Lon
don air station, Croydon.
A giant twin-engined Farman Coli
ath air express used by the Message
ries Aeriennes on their service be-
tween London and Paris has been
equipped with this latest device for
fighting fog, and a Daily Mail repre-
sentative assembled in this machine
with II other passengers, and, stand
ing beside the pilot, watched the Won
derful mechanical brain in operation.
After climbing to a height Of about
1000 feet, the pilot removed his hands
and feet from the controls, and, lean
ing back in his seat, hands in pockets,
let the mechanical pilot take charge.
For half an hour the airplane, al
though travelling at a speed of about
so miles an hour, flew so steadily
the passengers had no sensation of
movement, the automobile pilot cor
recting each movement OF the ma
chine before 1t became percepible to
the human brain.
Quicksilver operating electrically a
compressed air motor, which obtains
Its power from the rush Of wind as
the airplane travels through the air,
Is the prime factor Of this invention

CAN MAP ROCKS FROM AIR
Aviator's Cooperation With GeoIogist
10 Lucky to Prove Of Enormous
Value Commercially.

The geologist of the future may use
In unprospected country. At the meet
ing of the Canadian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy in Ottawa, Il. l.. Bruce
declared that he Is enthusiastic over
the possibilities Of airplane mapping
and that on trial flight he had been
able to recognize easily the most strik-
ing geological formations.
"From the air 1t Is possible to tell
various areas by their color and by the
general surface features that are char
acteristic Of sections of country under
lain by different types of rock" he
said. Granite can be distinguished
from those rocks which are more
favorable to the occurrence OF
economic minerals. Use of airplanes
will relieve the geologist of vast
amount Of work and would save a
large part Of his time. Areas OF
granite which are not important
economically, and those areas of deep
glacial cover where no rocks are ex-
posed could be eliminated. 1t would
thus free him for the exploration of
the areas Of promising rocks, and so
extend the field covered by each sea-
sons operations. 1t would, moreover,
give him an idea Of the most adj
vantageous points for inland traverses
and would show him the position of
inland lakes which might be of use
to him in fixing the boundaries of
formations"

COMING WRITER OF FICTION
Little Jimmie Shows Promise of Rising
to Eminence in the Realm of
4 Imagination.

Jimmie, four years old, is going to
write fiction, if his maturity bears out
the promise of his youth.
James has not since learned the
value of sticking close to facts.
He and his small sister were visit
ing friend the other day. The young
woman had some fine roses in vase
and was very proud of them.
"See my big roses" she exclaimed.
"We have nicer roses than that,
said little sister, by way of preliml-
nary.
IT don't think they are so big" said
Jimmie. 1--WE have some at home as
big as house"
Just then the young woman's father
came in.
GLOW much do you weigh, Jimmie?"
he asked.
"a hundred pounds" replied Jimmie,
instantly.
"That's a pretty good weight for
such a young fellow" the man said,
with a smile. "You see, weigh 800
pounds, myself"

"Weli, I weigh a million trillion
pounds"
Jimmie smiled.

In the world" he said.-Washington
