. The present VwpulationJ of -the
world is living in a t wonderful
age. - The history, of ' the ? nine
teenth centurj is foil of events
which caused astonishment, yet
things of an equally remarkable
nature appear destined to mark'
even the first twenty-five years
otthe twentieth century. Aiew
wonderful achievements in this
century are worthy of considera
tion. - . ,v - .-:';:.
.'A few-weeks ago thej-esidents
of London were gazing in ad mira
tion at the movement pf an aerial
ship which floated -. gracefully
over the thousands of buildings in
that great - metropolis;- propelled
at the rate "of - twenty ; miles an
hour; but its voyage was limited
to a total of about fifty -two miles;
This aerial ship: was constructed
and .'r owned by , the government,
and .Londoners probably;; felt
that in time . of. war they would
be provided with enough of such
air craft fort-the purpose of ob
serving the forces of an enemy,
as weu as, to drop; explosives
therefrom.'..- . ;j ' -V -s
Paris has-been experimentina

with similar, airships.'? and the
Frenchmen are "far in Arlvanr nf
the Britishers in this class of
experiments.
And t now -the ' United " States
comes to the front -with: balloons"
that are making -record flights

over the Great bakes, , and even
venturing as far -as Canadian
very important purposes.,' V
Aerial navigation may be in its
infancy, -but its, progress is'
destined jo be so very rapid that
the present generation will wit

it.
