Keeping It Properly Balanced I* a Dif ficult Art. An aevoplaue may be define! as a surface propelled horizontally in snch u maimer tLiat the resulting pressure of air from beneath prevents Its fall ing. . A balloou cau reuialo stationary over a given spot In a calm, but an aeroplane must l>e kept in motion If it Into remain lu the nir. Such a plane literally runs on the air ljke a skater gliding over thin lee. The most fa miliar example of an aeroplane la the kite of our bo.vhood days. We all re member how we kept It aloft even In n light breeze by running with It agnlnst the wind. Substitute the pull of a propeller for the cord and the aeroplane flying machine Is created. If this were all. the problem of arti ficial flight would have been solved long ago. There remains the supremely difficult art of balancing the plane so that it will skate on an even keel. Even birds And it hard to maintain this stability. In the constant effort to steady himself a hawk sways from side to side us he soars, like an acro bat on a tight rope. Occasionally a bird will catch the wind on the top of his wing, with the result that he will capsize and fail some distance be fore be can recover himself. If the living aeroplanes of nature find the Out of balancing so difficult, is It any wonder that men hare been killed In endeavoring to discover their secret? If you have ever sailed a canoe you w ill readily understand what this task of balancing an aeroplane really means. As tiie pressure of the wind on your sail heels your canoe over you must climb out on the outrigger far enough for your weight to counterbalance the wind pressure, so that you will not be upw;t. The physicist scientifically ex plains your achievement by stating that you liave succeeded in keeping the center of air pressure and the center of gravity on the same straight line. In a canoe the feat la comparatively susy; in tin aeroplane It demands con stant and flashlike shifting of the body, because the sudden slight varla tions of the wiud must be immediately opposed. - Waldemar KaemptTest in Cosmopolitan. MAGIC OF THE BASS. Memories of the Battle That Linger With the Angler. "The Indians call It 'Me-da Mon-nuh xhe-gan.' which translated means mag ic bass. He is said to be much like other black bass In appearance. But his peculiar attributes are these: "lie must be caught by casting, with a surface bait, so that you can see him rise to it. He may be taken In running water where the clear current foams over mossy bowlders and through gur gllng, sunlit shallows or lu the silent pools whore the forest bangs darkly over the stream. He may be taken at some still lake's grassy marge, where the water lilies bufid him a green and white and golden canopy, or in the open places when the west wind's magic turns the glassy surface into silver. "But wherever you find him you will see that nature rules supreme. And whether in brawling stream or quiet pool. In some peaceful lllied bay or Just beneath the rippled broad expanse, where the wild beauty of the spot makes your heart beat faster, here may you find the magic bass. "And this Is his magic: That when you have fought him iuch by Inch aud have looked upon him as be lay ex haunted In your landing net you are his forever. For wherever you go and whatever you do there will come to you ever and often a dream of his first leap Into the air, of the tugging line :i» ' : h's body at your feet, and indis ] tliut i . h!:. i It ail lie the sparkling wa 1 ter aud the forest aud the blue sky. "111 the dend of winter you will of a j sudden hear the soft splash of the bass rising to your fly, you will feel the sud den tautness of the line, and the snow outside your window will melt into a summer lan J scape. When you are bus-.lcst there will come to you the song of the reel and the smell of pine and f'r and balsam. That la the magk of the Me-da Mon-nuhshe-gan."—Out ing Magazine. Various Kinds of Meteors. "Meteors" and "meteorologist*" have little lu common, although their origin is identical. "Meteor" meant a goed many more things to Englishmen of a few generations ago than It does now, in accordance with the meaning of the (Jreek adjective, which signified "up In the air," so that "ta meteora," the things up In the air, meant the heav enly bodies. Winds and whirlwind* were aerial meteors formerly In Bng ilsb. clouds, snow and rain were aqne ous meteors, and among luminous me teors were reckoned rainbows and twi light. Meteorology preserves the mem ory of all this, but the word, "meteor" has gone over altogvtber to the astron omer's sphere. Infinitesimal Shears. A clever workman lu a cutlery fac tory In Sheffield, England, made a doz cn pair* of shear*, each so minute that they altogether weigh less than half o grain. That ia about the weight of a postage stamp. Kach pair Is perfect and will cut If sufficiently delicate ma terlal could be found, laying on a piece of white paper they seem uc larger than fleas.
