The Improvement Is In the storing away of unused magnetism. The more quickly we fly, the more magnetism Is gath- ersd by the machine." Santos pointed to the front part of the machine on the blueprint, calling the chancellor'! at tention to the contrivance that gave the machine the appearance of an eagle. It was a large braas ball, cov ered with a drynlth cap. Then he pointed to a broad brass bar that ex- tended over the entire top of the ma chine; that bar was like a round brush, and Its duty was to gather In every little spark of electricity, and store It In the brass collector. When the Insulation was broken, a lightning flash was sent out, directed at the will of the air man. So long as the ma chine was In motion there was always plenty of electricity In tho collector, ready to be sent out to cause destruc tion to anything. "W onderfulI" sighed tho count. "I know what those sparks mean, I have seen them In action.’’ "The simple machinery that Is built Into every aerodromone Is to control the flight and to start the wings. On account of the extreme simplicity of the mechanism and the tremendous strength of drynlth, the aerodromone Is, practically speaking, lndestruo tibia.” "But how can one machine capture the other, or even fight the other, un der these condition« 1 asked the count anxiously. "There are two ways In which a m * chine may gain victory over the other. One Is to disable the brain of tho m » chine, that Is, the man behind tha wheel." “ How can that be done?” asked .the count eagerly. “ Clrynlth, as you know, Is harder than anything except the diamond, so I believe If hard steel bullets were made with diamond points they would penetrate the comparatively thin shell of drynlth that defends the airman. However, this ts only a theory. Ex periments must show the advisability of their manufacture." “ What Is the other way?” “ That Is a certain method, and Is based on the laws of electricity that seem to govern aerial navigation.’’ “ YVhat Is It?" asked the count. Impa tiently, as Santos hesitated and looked at Rosltta. "It Is the same as when a boy takes a piece of amber or any other sub stance that can be magnetized and lifts up a paper scrap. The quicker airman has to maneuver so as to alight on top of the hostile machine. The lower machine then sticks to the up per, like the paper to the amber, only with such great force that It cannot be released until the current Is stopped and the necessary Insulation between the opposing forces Is obtained." “ But the wings of the lower machine might strike the upper," remarked the count. "It looks that way,” answered San to« wearily. It brought back the hap py days In the service of Napoleon, and his heart was heavy. “ But, as I have mentioned, different laws prevail In the air, totally different from the laws that govern the land or water. The atmospherical electricity has qualities that cannot be Judged by our present knowledge. It has to be ex perimented with. Our trials on the Island of Ciryne showed us that the aerodromones do not Injure each other; they might stick together, or be hurled apart, but they are never damaged.” "Then you think, Mr. Duprel, that you will be able to capture Edison’s force?” The little man cast an appealing glance toward Rosltta; she looked him straight In the eyes and encouraged him. He said bravely: "Mr. Edison Is a very formidable Ch erny, but our improved machines will give us the advantage, and besides, we will have a larger fleet." The count was satisfied and the work under Santos' direction went on. It took months before the factory was In perfect shape, and the various psrts were manufactured for the aerodro mones. They often wouuered that Napoleon had not appeared to Interfere with their work, " BE C O N T IN U E D .) COLOR BLIND NEVER HAUNTED P ro fe sso r E x p l a in s Phenom enon— N o r m a l E y s C re a t e s E ffe ct o f A p p a r it io n s In th a D a rk . Ar* you afraid of the dark? There isn't a chance of your seeing a ghost if you are color blind, which may furnlih you a ray of comfort for the beautlee of landscape and floral deco rations you may have missed during your lifetime. Dr. August Lummer, head of the University of Breslau, in Germany, ts authority for this. Dr. Lummer explains the phenom enon in this way; "The normal eye haa an arrange ment of tiny roda and cones In the retina. The rods perceive light and the cones dark color. When a per son with a normal eye tries to see In a half dark place the cones, which are useless, interfere with the effec tive action of the rods, and the con fusion creates the effect of apparitions that come and go and change their shapes. The color blind person lacks the cones and his hoods with extraor dinary efficiency In the dark. The color blind person sees a clear, per manent outline of things as long as ther* la the least amount of light present. That means that ha never sees ghosts." H a v i n g T o « M a n y T h in g s .
