IHE CONQUEST OF THE AIR
The accident to the Wright aeroplane
Is an Incident along the way. Such inci
dentals attend all great revolutionary
measures. Zeppelin met with disaster
when he w?s within an hour of a auc
oeaa that would have been historic,^
epoch making.
But it is now time to announce that
the world-old dream of the conouest of
the air has been realized. What
remains now is mcreiy to perfect the
work-to develop the Lusitaniaof the
air out of the Clermont of Wright and
Zeppelin. It will be remembered that
Mr. Fulton's steamboat first sank from
faulty construction, but that with the
self-aame machinery and the exper
ienced gained, he soon had another
that worked successfully.
We are passing through experience
identical with regard to the domination
of the "heavens above" *?> were those
pioneers of just a hundred years ago
with the "waters beneath." The prin
clpie has been demonstrated and the
reat is a matter of detail. It U a safe
prediction that the Seattle sho# will
see the thing done in such complete
ness that the last doubter will have
been swallowed up in the crowd.
Anil when It is done what wonders
will follow. Did you read the descrip
tion of the voyage of Zeppelin over
Germany and Switzerland: how the big
ahlp climbed the alps just a safe dis
tance above the tree tops, descending"
into the valleys of the other side: re
turned back again: rode above the
Rhine, over cities and towns, crossed !
streams and fields and forests with
equal ease and speed. No trail blazing
or road or bridge building here: a
machine that rises serene and uncon
scious of the barriers of earth that have
stood impregnable in the path of man's
advance since the dawn of time. All done
away with in a moment by a little trick
of combining * wheel and a fan. The
north pole will be as familiar as Broad
way and the Nile may no longer keep
her secret? the expanse of the round
earth will ne under the eye of man
like a map. It is a great thing that is
transpiring. That Zeppelin failed to
reach thej port he sailed for and that
the fracture of a fan brought momen
tary disaster to Wright Is of no great
consequence save to their personal
ambitions. The principle has been
demonstrated. Nor doe. It matter so
much that neither of these inventions
shall represent the character of the
ultimate flying machine. The invent
ors of the world are busy with the
problem, .od these serve their purpose
as object lessons directing the way to
the end, which is in sight. Indeed the
only deplorable thing in the contem
plation of this great event Is the pre
ponderating importance given it In the
day s dissuasion as ao implement of

THE CURFEW.
T HEARD a wild bird crying, a curlew of
the moor.
And the heart out ot my bosom wan tak
?n In It* lure.
I loft my sUter milking brown Drlmln In
the bawn.
And I wont out a-seeklng under the yel
low dawn.
T H?Ai^D a wild bird crying, a curlew of
the mist.
No longer free to follow my fancy as I
list.
My feet were bound for pathless ground
and turned aside for aye
From the track my sister treads In day
by day.
T HEARD a wild bird crying, a curlew of
-*? the mire.
And I was moved and shaken with lovo
and with desire.
A cabin Is no homo for me, nor any lad I
kr?w
Shall mato mo or shall look to mo to
love him true.
T HEARD a curlew crying, ochono and
och ance!
I'm lost within tho boglanda as a drown
ed man In tho sea.
A fairy fret Is on mo that will not pass
mo by.
Forever I must follow tho curlow'a cry.
?Nora Chesson.
the call of the wild.
WHO hath smelt wood smoke at
twilight? Who hath heard
tho birch log burning?
Who Is quick to read tho
noises of the night?
Let him follow with tho others, for the
young men's feet aro turning
To the camps of proved desire and
known delight.
Let him go? go? go away from here!
On the other side the world he's over
due.
'Send your road Is clear before you when
the old spring fret comes o'er you
And tho red gods call for you.
?Kipling.
OUT OF THE MORNING.
rxjILL there really be a morning?
' ? Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see It from tho mountains
If I were as tall as they?
HAS It feet like water lilies?
Has It feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I havo never heard?
OH. some scholar! Oh, some sailor!
Oh, some wise man from tho skies!
Please to tell a little pilgrim
Where the placo called morning lies!
?Emily Dickinson.
