strength Of the signals is kept constant
the airman is assured that he is flying
along the cable line. The second

ground is not visible, and consists of
wire, with weight attached, which is
lowered from beneath the machine;
when the weight touches the earth

cHlNA's MOST PERFECT SAGE
confuclus Takes High Place Among
tho Great Teachers Who Figure
In HIstorys Pages.

There is n mistaken belief that Con
"China's Most Perfect Sage" taught
expressly for the purpose of making
the younger generation adhere to the
one word, Virtue. Legend has 1t that
on the night of his birth bright lights
shone forth as during the day time /;
two dragons enclrcled his home five
old men came down from the heavens,
and n unicorn Is said to have spat
out book Of jade.
During his bOyhoOd, Confucius ex-
celled all the other lads at school. At
the age Of eighteen he married and
was blessed with son and daugh-
ter. After his marriage he was given
an official post, In which his diligence
soon won him one OF the foremost
positions Of the state.
AS he was clever and well versed
in politics, he was appointed one OF
the ministers Of the duke Of Lu, who
placed In him much trust. During
short term as prime minister, Con
fuclus effected many reforms. He
conducted his administration In
very able manner, much to the peace
and benefit Of the state and the peo-
pie, who loved him dearly.
It was not until some 300 or 400
years after his death that COnfucius'
memory was ordered by the govern.
ment TO be honored, and even to the
present day his sacred memory is duly
preserved. He died 470 Il. O.
