If a man wants to be an adept at monkeying with the monkey wrench let him first buy an automobile. Man has a right to his own opinion about everything else in the world except the future price of cotton. The difference between an airship and the price of meat is that the latter will never eorrre down fast enough to hurt anybody.

The sea was next to be lu conquered, and now great leviathans, 01 the handiwork of man, frets every tc h* ocean and challenges every deep But the air has long defied rapn- ^ cious man. From earliest recorded i time man has dreamed of soaring pi and of subdueing the ethereal to his a? uses and his pleasures. Many of n the attempts ended in fatalities and ju all were failures. Some who were , wise said the air was unconquerable tc; I <1 skeptic* Lushed at tho; vyho ' Ireamed. But there were Dumonts ind Zephilins and Farmans and a :ew others who believed their dreams :ould be made realities. Among the latter were two young men, Orville and Wilbur Wright, brothers, who ms.de and repairer! bicycles in an Ohio town. They took up the study of heavier-t'nan-air flying machines, animate and inanimate. They read what all the wise ncn of the past had S3id of such hings and studied the fligh' of airds. For years they studied and worked to put the result of then studies in tangible forms. Ossas:onilly men could hear of the work of the "Wright Brothers," and some laughed while others passed on unheeding. But the Wright brothers -cept their secret well and failures mly taught them useful lessons, '"ire t-incQP'l- manv invf?ntnr<; rnrrw* orward with flying machines, but | learly all of them met with failure 1 ind were declared useless. Would j he Wright boys succeed? Little nad been heard from them for a long time and they answered no questions. One day it was reported that the Wright brothers had gone with their machine to an isolated and almost inaccessible place called "Kittyhawk Hill" in western North Carolina. The inquisitive newspapers caught the scent and sent their best scouts to the deserted sand dunes with instructions to "watch" anil "report what they saw." Their reports were en tmgh to create an mild and shortlived sensation. One said the machine m a d e successful flights another said it was wrecked by plunging into t he side of a hill. But the Wright brothers srid nothing. They went back an i worked awhile, when lo! one appears in Paris am convinces the old world that the successful machine i.; :n edttencc. and the other appears on this side of the ocean, smashes a1! former records, and proves to America that U - * . , j j? el crs ki* ' *J ' Vi ) i ohoo' 1 ?
