speed that would take the. skyman
from Portland to Corvallls and back
to McMlnnvlIle in about 55 minutes,
It is double the speed made by the
winner of , the recent auto race at
Indianapolis, and a far greater speed
than has yet been developed -by the
fastest locomotive on the smoothest
known track. It is a rate of travel
that would carry a skyman around
the earth in six days and 23 hours.
This great burst or speed was
made in a violent wind storm, n
which the airman flew at times with
the tall of his machine la a perpen
dicular position. He encountered
wind pockets in which his light ma
chine quickly fell several hundred
feet Without warning he would
drop earthward so swiftly that noth

flew saved him from a tragedy. His

Thus we again demonstrate our

is true that our John Arthur won
his paramountcy in the roped ring

that- his ascent up the ladder of

From an article in -a recent number

that sheepskin Is used as a substitute

Sheepskin was used, aa parchment be

it was a substitute for vellum, which
Is made from calfskin and of fas finer

Tanned sheepskins are in. the trade
called basils. For these : are many
legitimate uses, but it Is for imitation
purposes that . the sheepskin is more
largely used. 0. w:."tfiV
