"Oh yessir." he replied. with
none of the defiance that had been

"Thank you, Miles," returned.
Again, this unpleasant doubt as
to how one should behave. had
no wish to hobnob with a MUIR

enough.
Against a wildly homogeneous
background, Lord Simon sat
waiting for his breakfast. The
room was crowded with a chilly
miscellany Of knick-knacks and
ornaments, gewgaws and trump
cry Of every kind which had been
popular towards the end Of the
last century. LORD Simon's head
was a sober shape against an
enormous case of stuffed birds,
perched in grotesque parody Of
naturalnesS on lichen-covered
branches. Lace was festooned
over baize along the mantelpiece,
which supported an overn1antel
as intricate as an Oriental build
ing. A firescreen painted with
garish overgrown carnations had
been laid aside, a woolly black
rug was before the fire, and a
bunch Of pampas grass stood in a
tiled urn in one corner. The table
had a green and tasseled table
cloth on it, the furniture was Of
bloated mahogany, there were
muslin curtains on great brass
rings and foot-stools in unlikely
places.
"Come inf you can bear it,"
said Lord Simon, when T hesitated
for a moment. "You see what
one has to suffer in the cause Of
truth? Have you ever seen any
thing like it? It can't be true!"

Aviation S Future
Linked With Tiny
Invisible Air Film

New York.-The future of avi-
alton is linked with an invisible
MIN of air only a few hun
dredths of an inch thick. So
nearly perfect is the streamlin-
ing of modern airplanes that
even the protruding heads of
tiny rivets can cut miles an
hour from the speed of a plane
and greatly lower its flight per-
formance.
The crucial air film is known as
the laminar boundary layer between
the wing of plane and the air
through which it flies. If the air
passes smoothly over the wing all
is well. II the air becomes turbu-
lent air resistance is increased and
speed and climbing ability are de-
creased.
Great advances in knowledge of
the behavior of this invisible air
boundary have been made possible
by studies IN wind tunnels. But now
1t is becoming apparent that the day
may be approaching when wind tun-
mel tests, alone, will not be the last
word IN aeronautical research.
Free Flight Study Needed.
Speaking at the first Wright
Brothers Lecture of the Institute
OF Aeronatutical Sciences here. the
British air expert, Prof. B. Melville
Jones of Cambridge university.

real airplanes may soon supply the
final check on research.

small-scale turbulence is needed. he
to disclose some of the
parasitic air friction losses now be-
ing studied. A slight unsteadiness
may persist in wind tunnels which
produces effects differing from
those of actual flight.
Key point of Investigations is a
study OF the so-called transition
point where the smooth, laminar

pattern that robs planes of their
performance. The transition point
