THE AEROPLANE.
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.
