Men Sought Means of
Flying Centuries Ago

Flying In motor driven airplanes had
its birth December II, 1908, on the
sand hills near Kitty Hawk, N. O.,
when Wilbur and Orville Wright
achieved the first authenticated flight
In heavier'than-air machine, but fly
ing was in the minds of men centuries
before that.
The story Of mans longing to fly
comes down In hundreds of legends,
mixed with fact, about individuals who
few and those who tried It and died.
Probably the original flying legend is
the Greek story about Daedalus, who
made pair Of wings with which he
flew, and his son, Icarus, who took
them out one day and came to grief
when he got so near the sun that the
wax wings melted.
Giovanni Baptist Danti, late in
140O, is said to have flown across the
Piazza of Perugla, Italy, In what seems
to have been an authentic glider. 1t
was about this time that Leonardo da
Vinci began to study the possibilities
Of flight from the scientific angle and
made a helicopter of paper, wire and
springs that really lifted itself. Fol
lowing this there were numerous ex-
periments with gllders, some Of them
successful, but not until 1908 did the
motor-drlven plane conquer the air.

AS soon as you arrive In Auckland,
New Zealand, you feel the peculiar
character Of this most original OF
domlnions: bllssful land where the
100000 British settlers-for the 9TH
er natlonalities form only small and
transient groups-are producing and
exporting precious raw materials and
engaging In sports Of every conceiv
able kind which they pursue with In
credible verve and enthusiasm.
They are also fully convinced Of
their superiority to the rest of man
kind and Of the unique privilege they
enjoy In living In these islands, They
have their reasons down pat.
We must not smile at the question
naire to be oiled before dlsembarklng
In New Zealand. In 1t you must
promise before the Almighty to be
good, to observe strictly the wise laws
of the land, and, finally, to remember
that the experience of spending even
a brief period of your existence In
these islands is something to be proud
of for the rest of your life.
On making inquiries learned that
there is little unemployment-not
to be sure, because there Is no work
but because the English inhabitants

Rushing Waters Meet
in Giant Whirlpool

Just before the junction OF the
Madre de Dolls and the lnambari rivers
In lSru the latter divides into two
arms, with an island some two miles
long between. The right arm, which
Is usually the safer for navigation, Is
ut times impassable. owing to exces.
sive drought that causes the forma
ton of perilous rapids. Travellers
must In consequence take the wide
left arm, down which the main volume
of the river then flows.
An enormous force OF water Is shot
into the Madre de Dios; the Inambarl
at Its left-arm junction IL 800 yards
wide, perhaps 80 feet In depth, and
flows at six knots an hour. This grea,
mass of water meets the Madre d.
Dlos, itself 400 yards wide here, at Il
right angle. The current of the Imam
bari, being faster than the Madre dc
Dios, the former river cuts right acrOs,
to the farther bank. There the Imam
bari Is thrown back and surges round
In a huge circle 200 yards In diameter
to Join up again with the water flow
Ing to the bank. The whirlpool thus
formed Is probably one of the largest
In the world. The circles OF sect hinl
water curl Inward and downward

appears as a great hole, at least 81,
feet being below the level of the Outel

Superstition SIoW to
Pass AWay in England

The recently reported appearance
in Berkshire Of Herne the Hunter and
his ghOstly pack Of hounds, who,
since the days Of Good Queen Bess
have haunted the old Royal forest OF
Windsor, recalls to the matter Of fact
modern public the Shakespearean
truism that There are more things
in heaven and earth than are dreamt
Of in our philosophy
Herne the Hunter was forest
ranger In the royal hunting domain,
and, dlsgracing himself, was executed
by order Of his Tudor sovereign. Since
then, each succeeding reign has wit
messed his return to the shades OF
the MOON" generally before danger
threatens the royal house or the
realm. Shakespeare mentions the
ghostly huntsman in one Of his plays
It is curious coincidence that
West country newspaper reports that
in Devon had been heard quite recent
ly the ghostly beating Of brakes fa-
nous drum, which reposes In his old
Devonshlre mansion home Of Buck
land abbey. brakes drum Is only
heard when danger threatens Eng
land. It was heard by many English
naval officers In Scapa Flow In the

Immortal "Serenade"

Schubert wrote the "Serenade" to
suit the words Of poem by Ludwig
Rellstab. A number of Rellstab's
poems were originally sent by their
author to Beethoven, who declined to
do anything with them because of the
state Of his health, but who recon-
mended that they be turned over to
Schubert. This was done after Bee
thOven's death. In 1928 Schubert
wrote a number Of fine songs, which
were brought out after his death I'M
der the title Of "swan Songs" "Sere-
made" is No. 4 Of the Swan Songs,
which include six others written to
Rellstab's words, Schubert was born
January 81. 1907, and died November

Big Feet Caused Downfall

Difficulty In obtaining pair Of
boots large enough for his feet led
to the downfall of Rocky Whelan, once
notorious bushranger Of Tasmania.
Rocky worked alone and had a nasty
habit Of shooting wayfarers in the
back. He acquired his wardrobe by
the simple process of taking whatever
articles of clothing he needed from
his victims. But he had very large
feet and was unable to get fit In
his usual manner. So he went into q
bootmaker's shop TO buy a pair. A
constable who had seen him in an
other part Of the country spotted him
as he entered the shop and followed,
effecting a capture Just as the outlaw
was trying on pair of boots. Whelan
was executed few days later on the
gallows.-Sydney Bulletin.
