CRY Ge ee The Archytas By the Rev. Thomas B.’ Gregory awl Copyright, 1918, by Tho Pres Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) | HILE we are getting ready for the first transoceanic airplane filght | W “it might be well to think about the name that {s to be given to| the history-making machine. | In spite of Mr. Willlam Shakespeare's somewhat flippant talk on the | MOWeMbject, It 1s a {act that names are by no means unimportant matters, On the contrary, they are sometimes of very great importance, as, for instance, | btn the case of the naming of the airplane that shall first crows the Atlantic. Now, so far as we know to the contrary, the first man to conceive of a * ying machine and to attempt the construction of one was the Greek Archytas of Tarentum, and if I know anything about the “eternal Otness POF things” we should call the machine in question “The Archytas.” Archytas was one of the greatest men of his time, a sort of Gladstone, | *Napoleon, Darwin and Edison all in one. | ‘ Seven times appointed General, he is sald never to have been defeated | sin battle, In statecraft he was the light of his generation. His philosophic | ‘tnd scientific wisdom made him the teacher of both Plato and Aristotle, while in experimental science and mechanics he was head and shoulders above all the men of his day. | Readers of Horace will remember the poet's unetinted praise of | “Arehytas in the twenty-cighth ode of his first book, and those who are | ‘Tamiliar with the classics will be able to recall various references to the | “¢@rand old Greek who, in the fifth century before Christ, was able to antict: | pate the events of seventy-two generations. 1 It 1s from the “Attic Nights” of Aulus Gellis that we get the gist of our information regarding the earliest flying machine—which flew, as it} th. were, out of the brain of Archytas, as the Goddess Minerva is alleged to have leaped forth from the cleft brow of Jove. | ., According to Gellius, thts first attempt in aeronautics took the form of | SSthe mode! of a dove. It was made of wood, and by the aid of certain| mechanical contrivances was able to fly. It was put in motion by some er kind of gas, and by a “certain mechanical art” weights were made to keep et nicely balanced. | c It will be observed that this first of flying machines was a combination of balloon and heavier-than-air apparatus, thus anticipating the expert- epments from Montgolfler to the Wright brothers, ° We are unable to say how large the flying machine of Archytas was or * what its ability amounted to, but the statements from Gellius, backed by hose from many men of eminence among the Greeks, afford sufficient proof sor9t the fact that while Plato was teaching philosophy in the immortal grove yoot the Academy and a considerable time before Alexander the Great was Camouflage xxix WHAT'S THE IDEA OF THE CLAW, HAMMER, INTHE DAY TINE 2 TS A WAR Eto IT SAVES ME BUYING By Maurice Ketten.

We are going to have another rollicking, | frolicking day at Luna next Wednesday, July 24, We are not doing this because the rain spoiled our party last Wednes | day. On the contrary, we had such a jolly time and such a wonderfully | large attendance of Kiwb Cousins, despite the rain, that would be a per- | fect shame not to try for better weather and an even gayor day. We hope | that next Wednesday will be such @ day. I do not know whether Prof. Zancig will again do his marvellous feats of magic especially for us in his Temple of Mystery, but I am going to ask him to and I feel sure that he will say yes. Did you ever have such be Wildering, mysterious things happen right under your nose? I never did. All the fast rides and the hilly rides and the wavy rides, the spinning and the twisting rides, are to be open to cousins wearing klub pina |. And even if the weather man should be unkind he can not keep us from the fun at R. T. Richard's circus nor the thrilling spectacle “Sub- marine Attacks.” For those of us who love sports the ice skating carnival at “Silver Glades” will be open in any weather, and torrents could not dim the stars that will shine at the Kiddie Klub Theatre. Bxactly one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-one spectators, young and old, saw our show last Wednesday, When the evening closed the | Kiddie Klub War Chest held one hundred and seventy-eight dollars and | ten cents with which to begin to care for Kiddie Klub war orphans, Next Wednesday's recelpts ought to fill the coffers to the point of | bursting.

Come and do your share, Come and bring | your friends. | Cousin Eleanor. i a uehered into the world, a successful attempt at the “conquest of the alr” /W4rag made by this enterprising citizen of Tarentum, ** Call it a “mere toy,” if you care to—and it was probably not much qx More but the fact remains that the toy succeeded in negotiating the alr, wAhus establishing the practicability of the idea of aeronautics. Busy as he must have been with his manifold labors as philosopher, statesman and military commander, the old Greek found time to dream of -1 “bird men,” of human beings bidding deflance to the law of gravity and gowoing on along their proud, victorious way through the element from which, by the decree of nature, they seemed to be forever debarred, eo Referring to Mr. William Shakespeare again, it might be, though I doubt it, that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” but it is {a3 certain ag anything can be in this world that the name of the first suc + cessful airplane should have been “The Archytas.” and the case—that “The Arch ¥rors the ocean. ee DERE swe Ot stale a | Buster’s Adventures THIS COAT CAMOUFLAGE By Uncle Harry } > but he was ashamed to have Bu ; A CA \ The Geyser. | Ae va anand to have. tr 1 PD USTHR was in the forest one/ this story, Buster said it must have B day when he saw something | teen terrible; then he became curious running toward him.
