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. c.,
when Wilbur and Orville Wright
achieved the first authenticated flight
in heavierthan-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
flew 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
14OO, Is said to have flown across the
Piazza Of Perugia, 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 helicopter of paper, wire and
springs that really lifted itself. Fol-
lowing this there were numerous ex-
periments with gliders, some of them
successful, but not until 1903 did the
motor-driven plane conquer the air.

As soon as you arrive In Auckland,
New Zealand, you feel the peculiar
character Of this most original Of
dominiOns: blissful land where the
100000 British settlers-for the 9TH
er nationalities 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 yerve 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 filled before disembarking
In New Zealand. In it 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.

Originality Shown in
ORDERING of Funerals

Two Englishmen and one English
lady, who certainly did not know each
other, decided practically at the same
time to have fantastic funerals, Pierre
Van Paasen writes, in the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Harry Armour, one of them,
twenty-four years old, who committed
suicide, left a note in which he Or
dered that he was to be buried In
hunting costume, booted and spurred,
with rifle In his arms and plentiful
supply of cartridges in his coffin. Then
there was Colonel Samson Of Hastings,
who demanded that his corpse be
dumped in the middle Of the channel.
We learn from the Dover Gazette that
his funeral had at least the compensa-
ton of Jolly trip on bright, sunny
day." In London, young lady, Miss
Edith Kohl, aged twenty, asked that
she be laid out in her best evening
gown, with dancing slippers and a
small gramophone in the casket. She
personally selected number of jazz
records, which were buried with her.
All three expressed themselves believ-
ers in the resurrection of the body. The
lady is the most original Of all. When
that last morn comes, and Gabriel
blows his trumpet, she wants to or
ganize twO-piece orchestra, no doubt.

Big Feet Caused Downfall

Difficulty in obtaining a 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 a fit in
his usual manner. So he went into
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 capture just as the outlaw
was trying on a pair of boots. Whelan
was executed few days later on the
gallows.-Sydney Bulletin.

Dogs Smart Trick

An old hunter says that on one
occasion small dog belonging to him
chased and caught up with a very
large raccoon. The dog flew at his
enemy and tried to shake him, but the
raccoon, being quick, caught the dog
by the side of the head.
His teeth were sharp and his hold
firm, so that the dog found it i'm
possible to break loose. Suddenly, as
if bright idea had occurred to him,
the dog began to drag the raccoon in
to neighboring creek.
Once in the water the dog held the
raccoon under the surface. adroitly
keeping his own nose out, until the
raccoon released his grip. Then the
dog easily mastered the haif-drowned
animal.

Not in This World

Men and women do not get along
well. The quarrel is mainly about
money. A woman never seems to
care much because her husband isn't
as much Of a lover as when they were
first engaged. She doesn't expect it a;
and realizes she has cooled off, too.
We have learned that these things
are natural, but men are still shocked
at the extravaganza of women, and
women are still shocked at the stingi-
ness of men. Is there any way Of
coming to a better understanding on
this subject Of money?-E. w. Howe's

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 number of fine songs, which
were brought out after his death I'M
der the title Of "Swan Songs" "Sere-
made" is No. of the Swan Songs,
which include six others written to
Rellstab's words. Schubert was born
January 81, 1897, and died November

his vanity far exceeded his ability, so
