CAN MEN LEARN TO FLY!
Problem Agitating the Academy of bct-
euco A Company to llnom Invsntloo.
All adventurous aeronaut surrpmlivl
In flying a eounlo of miles in tlio sub
urbs of New York, with tho aid of a
u(to nmcluno that had wines, nnd that
seemed to uso them with considerable
success. For somethinc' like a fenera
tion the Inventor of this flyiiiij ma
chine had been at work unon it. and
bod been laughed at because of tt as
heartily as ever the irrcDressible Keel v.
of motor fame, was laughed at. But he
was a fceotenman, who possessed true
Scotch tenacity. He stuck to his idea
and finally had tho satisfaction of see
ing lis great wings beat the air over
Coney Island aiitlcarrv it a consider
able' Uistanco before it was thought
well to let it rest.
As a result of this there has been or
ganized a company with a, capital of
11,000,000. the object of which is edu
cate the public in the matterof flying,

Even tho aucust academy of sci
ences, which once every week discus
ses subjects that most people know
noiiung auout, anu wnose .icmoers
know pretty much everything that
mortal man ought to know, is Taking
some cognizance- of the affair at issue,
and in a quiet way aro discussing tne
question as to whether or not man

But many more of the professors shake
their heads in solemn negation when
this argument is advanced.
Still tne bcotcu. inventors success
has created an impression. His fly

Its wings work -actly like those of a

It is a peculiar attuir, but has been
mora successful than anything of its
kind, and Itfncetho arguments among
tho scicntiile professors. Most of these
professors believe that man will be
able to fly by mechanism only when

discussing the matter the other day,
expressed this opinion. He said that
from the earliest time tne dominant
wish of man had been to fly after the
manner and method or the bu-u.

Why I ires Burn Brlghtl; In Whiter.
There aro several reasons why a fire
burns so brightly in frosty weather.
First, tho air oeing cold is denser and
tho heated air and gases from tho fire
are comparatively more buoyant.
Conseouontlv tlicro is a greater
draught. Then tho air being denser
contains moro oxveen in an caual vol
ume, and that gas being quickly sup
plied, tho combustion is fiercer and
moro perfect. Iu frosty weather, too,
the atmosphere is comparatively free
from moisture, which of course has a
