Ask a scientist, "What is an aeroplane?" and he will reply. "Anyflat or slightly curved surface propelled horizontally throught the air." That, being merely a definition of a thing, and not an explanation of flight, tells little of what is most wonderful about a flying machine. Time and time again we! have all asked ourselves: Why is it! ^ that this combination of planes, propellers, motors and rudders does not fall? Why is it that a machine many times heavier than the air stays aloft? It is the air pressure beneath it, allft its inntirm ilint lr<w?,u plane,. If it is to remain in the air, an aeroplane must constantly move like a skater on thin ice. The skater must move fast enough to reach a new section of ice before he falls; the aeroplane must move fast enough to reach a new section of air before it falls. Moth are constantly struggling with gravitation. The simplest ajid most familiar example of an aeroplane is the kite of our boyhood days. Dy holding it aguinst the wind, or by running with it, If there happens to be only a gentle breeze, this oldest of flying machines is kept aloft. Invent a substitute for the string, some device, in other words, which will enable you to hold the kite in the proper direction, and you have invented a flying machine. The pull or the thrust of an engine-driven propeller is that substitute.?Harper's Magazine. ITT THK WKOXC. KOPK. Woman llallmmicl U...- V... cape From IK-utli at Asheville ? I'lun^es a Thousand Feet and Hands Uninjured. Asheville. N. C., May 22.?Kloretta lx>renz, a triple parachute performer, associated with a visiting shew, had a narrow escape from death last week when, after cutting the wrong parachute rope, she fell at a rapid rate from a height of nearly a thousand feet. Had not her parachute rope caught iu the street car and electric light wires in the heart of the city, she would undoubtedly have been killed. In the first half of her descent. Miss , Lorenz was \irtually hanging to one cord of the first parachute. The young woman was carried iu<to a store in a fainting condition, , b^t she was otherwise unhurt. She later stated that she carried three parachutes with her and on reaching up to release the balloon wherein she ascended accidentally cut the ropes of the second and third parachutes, which, however, did not open. The unusual weight of two unopened parachutes, added to her own, caused her to descend at a i a^iu i air, t iiTT ii u urn cum ?n pcupiiwho gathered in the center of the city saw that the woman was in danger of alighting on the roof of the postofflce. A midden gust of wind, however, carried her over the network of trolley and illuminating wires which cross and recross l'atton avenue and there were loud cheers from the anxious hundreds when the swinging ropes and then the parachute caught in the wires and were firmly held, allowing the thoroughly frightened young woman to drop safely to the street below. Validity in Timber Contracts. Marlon Star. A case of much Interest to the .people of Marion county and of ' nearly all of the southern and eastern sections of South Carolina, that of A \V. Flagler, appellant, of Williamsburg county, versus Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation, of Georgetown, was argued l?efore the Supreme Court on Thursday of last week. This case imolves the construction of contracts by which several i il ion dollars' worth of standing timber has been purchased by this corporation and others from the land owners in these sections. The timber companies contend, that i.ml* r these contracts, despite the attempted limitations, they own the ! timber, in fee, and may enter at any lime for the purpose of removing same. The contention of the grantors ol the timber in this case, for himself and all others like situated, is that by a proper construction of the contract. Inasmuch as the time in which the timber company is to commence to cut the timber, is indefinite, as a matter of law, iliey should he required to begin in a reasonable time, amid eleven years having elapsed with no effort to commence to cut the timber all their rights under the contract are lost, and the timber reverts to the owner of the soil. also tolling on him and lie was fast losing his strength. He offered up a prayer and allowed his arm to relax. He fell, expecting to he killed. Instead, he dropped only six inches, : as the well had been filled in within alx>ut five feet of the top. The fright attending the moments while he hung suspended in the air completely unerved him. Itig Feet; Normal Miinls. That the majority of normal ; minded men have big feet and most ; normal minded women small feet is the latest scientific discovery announced to the world by the Paris Academy of Sciences. It comes from Professor Macauliffe and Marie, who, for several months, have been measuring the feet of Wrench people in all walks of life. They found that eighteen out of eveiry one hundred soldiers were; | small-footed and only twenty-four of ievery one hundred weak-minded | uien big-footed. On the other hand i they found that only twenty-three of every one hundred normal wo1 men were large-footed, while only ! eighteen of two hundred weak-witted women were small-footed. This is considered to confirm ihe ancient theory that woman is man's equal, for the reason that she is his ' exact opposite. Marriage License I,aw. ! Section 1.
