BRINGING THE HEAVENS DOWN. TWOOD, the aviator, start- ing for an aeroplane flight, runs over a dog and breaks a propeller blade, Army men practising at the Cur-| tiss aviation echool, with a rubber insulated ma-| chine, are severely shocked | by lightning through the | wires of the ’plane. Long Island flyerettes talk of organizing a women’s aero | club. Up-to-date theatrical | press agents discard the diamond robbery and the automobile accident as free | advertising mediums, and now have their stars drift out to sea in| unmanageable balloons and swim back. Lincoln Beachey has flown | through Niagara Gorge, and crossed the Canadian frontier ahead of | the Reciprocity Treaty. Beyond the seas, speed and distance records | are broken almost every day, and whole flocks of aeroplanes cross the | Bnglich Channel and back in Parie-London races. Almost every | landmark of altitude in three continents, from the Pyramids of Egypt and St. Peter's cupola at Rome to the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor and the Washington monument, has been photo- graphed with an aeroplano circling about its summit. A Technical Words Committee has been constituted by the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain for the purpose of standardizing the terminology of aviation. Internetionel associations are devising plans for a ecien- tific system of sky signs end signals which will enable pilots to find their way in the air, be advised of convenient landing places and changing atmospheric conditions, and do dead reckoning amidet the clouds, Finally, the jurists of the principal winged nations are putting their heads together to formulate the international lew of the air. All this is by way of bringing the heavens down to earth, and putting air motors and wind-racing machines in the same category with auto touring cars and motorcycles. Here is no flight of the imagination, but a literal statement of recognized faeta and conditions at the present moment. In a pop- ular presentment of “The New Art of Flying” Waldemar Kaemfert traces a striking parallel in showing how the practical airship of war and commerce is evolving from the record-making monoplane end biplane, in precisely the same way as the luxurioug automobile has grown out of the racing car of five years ago. To illustrate the comparison, ft js recalled that in lees than a year from the date when Bleriot set France aero-mad by flying over the English Channel the actual rales of flying machines out- numbered the recorded actual sales of automobiles in the first year of their commercial development. a - sr EG a tela, apa aap eanel saat ~ Ye a ee pH ; iin ee The.

Quite on the contrary; it is eome- thing to eat. Now it ts eaid that dasheen 1s to become one of America’s regular articles of diet, South Carolina having had success in raising it. At the Geographic Soctety’s dinner the Gasheen was served tn place of potatoes, and the guests, among them President ‘Tatt, pronounced it Istinct addition to the gastronomic catalogue. Gove ment experts declare they are satisfied that dasheen can be grown at an im mense profit tn this country, and will encourage its cultivation. It has @ nutty flavor, says the Scrap Book.

Amel learned to like it, They also learned when we acquired Porto Rico, that there the natives lived chiefly on taro and regarded it as their staff of life. It wan then that the Agricultural De-| partment commenced to sit up and take notice and experiments were started. In South Carolina, from an acre of taro a ton and a half of tubers was harvest- ed last year, This was the first large quantity of aroids ever raised in this country. ‘The tubers are about the size of @ man's fist. They are good boiled, baked or fried, and are delicious when mashed. and mixed with cream, butter and sea- soning. « ‘They cannot mature north of the Mason and Dixon line. to PETER AND HORACE.
