Some early letters of Ernst
Haeckel, recently translated and pub
lished under the title THE Story of
the Development of a Youth" reveal
the interesting fact that the great
materialist and exponent of Monism,
for so many years professor of 20
ology at Jena, was in his youth an
ardent believer in and defender of
orthodox Christianity. At one time
he even arraigned his, great teacher
Virchow in defense of the, Apostles
Creed The letters in this volume
show a veneration for nature which
is almost pantheism, an ardent be-
lief in the ideal, and a sincere faith
in life his early beliefs gave way
before a growing speculative attitude,
due partly, perhaps, to the materials
tic environment OF the German uni
versity and partly to the teachings of
Virchow.
The present Pope as a mountain
climber is shown in a new book with
the modest title Climbs on Alpine
Peaks, When he was only Father
Achile Ratti he was a member of the
Italian Alpine Club and an enthusiast
tic mountaineer, with a long record of
adventures among the peaks and
glaciers of the Alps.

The announcement concerning the helicopter, as issued by the United States Army Air Service, says:
 "The first flight of the De Bothe- zaart helcopter was made by Major Thurman H. Bane, Commandant at McCook Field (who has since retire0, December IS, at 9:30 a. m The total duration was about two minutes, and the highest altitude reached was 10 feet
 "The start was directly upward and every ascent and descent was made without the slightest outside assist ance The whole flight was steady and the landing very smooth.
 "In the air it demonstrated the highest grade of inherent stability. It was witnessed by officers and em- ployes at McCook Field.
 "The building of the De Bothezaat helicopter was started in July, 1921, and done under secret direction of the United States Air Service Divi- sion.
 In order to appreciate the full meaning of this performance it is well 1 to remember that the first airplane 1 flight made by Wright Brothers on December IF, 1903, lasted only fifty nine seconds. It is interesting to note that the city of Dayton, the birthplace | of the first successful airplane, has now produced the first successful heli- copter.
 'It is also worthy of mention that the helicopted was built at McCook Field, without any preliminary tests, on the sole basis of computation made by Dr. De Bothezaat, and based on hls two propeller theories, published by the National Advisory Committee at Washington.
 "The behavior of the helicopter ln the air demonstrated in fullest man. ner what important results can De op' tained by adequate scientific meth, ods"
 Dr. De Bothezaat is an international figures in aeronautical and scientific circles. He has been interested ill aviation for the last 15 years. He has published books and papers on sci entific subjects for 40 years. He is the author of the first book on air plane mechanics, published in Paris iH 1911.
 A number of his airplane inventions are in use at McCook Field and other air stations.

NENANAITES PROTEST
 WHITE PASS MONOPOLY

If reports received recently to the effect that all the Mayo silver ore is to pass through Nenana during the coming summer, mean that the White Pass steamers are to return to the Tanana river, to the exclusion of all other boats on the upper Yukon, the News fails to see wherein conditions along the river ahe to be greatly i'm proved over last season. It will mean a great deal to the Alaska Railroad to get the Mayo tonnage, which went out by way of St. Michaels last sea- son; but if such an arrangement means that Government boats will

 All progressive American business men advertise.

Safety and Stability


 The inherent stability of the ship it is claimed, renders it much safer than ordinary airplanes in that it can be glided to the ground from any alti- tude with minimum of danger.
 It has four propellers, with a com bined blade area of 900 square feet. These are operated by a ITO horse power motor
 During the tests now being made at McCook Field it is expected to at tempt an endurance flight. An effort will also be made to set an altitude record.
 Even before the United States en- tered the war experiments were con- ducted in the hope of producing a heli- copter. None, however, proved sue cessful until December IS, when the De Bothezaart helicopter made it's maiden flight.
 Among the men of prominence who have seen the new machine in action are Major-General Mason J. Patrick, Chief of the Air Service; General Will liam Mitchell, his aide, and the only flying general in the world; Newton Dr. Baker, former Secretary of War; Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com merce; Colonel E. A. Deeds, head or the Aircraft Production Board dur ing the war, and c. F. Kettering, who contributed many scientific inventions to aircraft during the war. His chief contribution was an automatic ar plane capable of dropping a bomb on any spot within radius of 80 miles, This automatic plane was strict war secret, and very little if anything has ever been published about it for the reason that the war ended three months too soon for it to be put to test on the western front.

NEW FLYING MACHINE GOES
 STRAIGHT UP

DAYTON, Feb 15. - What is de- clared to be the first successful heli- copter ever constructed in the United States is undergoing a series of rigid tests at McCook Field, in this city.
 It represents an expenditure of $200,000 by the United States Govern ment, and the fact that it rises verti- cally from the ground and has re- mained in the air for one minutes and 40 seconds, according to official an nouncement, leads to the prediction of scientists and engineers at McCook Field that it will soon be brought to a stage of development making it prac- tical for aerial transportation.
 The announcement issued by the United States Army Air Service calls attention to the fact that it was just twenty years and one day from the time that Wright Brothers made their first flight, which covered a period of but fifty-nine seconds, that Dr. George De Bothezaat, Russian inventor, real ized fulfillment of his dreams of ris- ing vertically.
 The honor of making the initial flight with helicopter went to Major Thurman H. Bane, Commandant at McCook Field, who has since rel tired.
 The official announcement of the first successful operation of the trial flight was not issued until January 13, whereas the flight took place on De- cember IS.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-15
Secretly Built

Development of this new aircraft was carried on in secret. A special hangar was erected at McCook Field screens were erected about windows and entrances, and an armed guard was maintained all the time in order to prevent prying eyes from seeing what was going on.
 However, with the successful flight the veil of secrecy was lifted and a month later the great secret was given to the world.
 Dr. De Bothezaart began work on the helicopter at McCook Field in July, 1921. He was assisted by engi- neers and technical men at the field, but the principles along which the helicoper was constructed were his own, and he is recognized as the ac- 1 tual builder of the plane in the Army Air Service announcement. It is declared that the newly per | fected heavier-than-air craft will rev olutionize the science of aviation in that it rises straight from the ground and can then be made soar away in any direction

Abany-Boston
Road, Snowbound
3 Months, Open

The Albany to Boston highway,
which has been blocked by snow for
three months, has just been sufficient
ly cleared to allow the passage OF
passenger cars.
Telegraphic word to this effect has
Just been received at headquarters
of the National Motorists Associa-
ton from the Automobile Club of
Berkshire County, Pittsfield, Mass.
The telegram said that the road over
Jacobs Ladder. in the Hossac noun
tains, between Pittsfeld and SPRING
field. was sufficiently opened to per-
nit the passage of passenger cars.
This follows on the heels of the
news that the road over Lebanon
mountain. between Albany and Pitts
field. was opened on March IS. This
section of the route, which has been
blocked by snow since January 2. was
opened through the activity of the
Automobile Club of Berkshire Coun-
", which enlisted over 100 of it's
members as volunteer shovelers

clearing a passageway which all mo-
tor traffic can now use.
This announcement is important,
particularly because of the fact that
in opening up this gap all traffic orig
mating west of Albany can now go
straight through to the coast without
delay, while Boston and other New
England points are likewise given
access to all central and western
New York points.
