PLANE MAY RIGHT ITSELF Stability of Machine Has Been Re­ gained Even After Note Dive With Wounded Pilot. Most airplanes are more or less sta­ ble, and can be righted from any po­ sition provided they are not damaged by gunfire or other cause, provided also the pilot Is not wounded, and pro- vlded there Is sufficient vertical apnea In which to maneuver, writes Charles Lincoln Freeston In Scribner's Maga­ zine. If the pilot Is wounded, a ma­ chine will often right Itself even from a "nose dive,” and It may happen that the pilot meanwhile recovers conscious­ ness. This was exactly what occurred to a friend of my own who was doubly wounded at lO.iMW feet, and swooned away, with a helpless observer on board. During the resnltant dive the pilot came to himself nnd landed with­ out a crash. Not Infrequently, more­ over, a courageous observer may save the situation, and one such was awarded the military cross not very long ago for a particularly daring feat. The pilot was badly wosmded and lay over his controls, btrt while the air­ plane was actually diving, under full engine power, the observer scrambled out of his seat, hung on right ontslds the bottom plane, lifted the pilot up. and pulled the machine ent nf tts head­ long dive. And all thia was effected whfi the airplane was descending at probably a hundred miles an hour. In another case the pllet was killed outright, hut the observer centrived to alt over his dead body and assume con­ trol of the machine. Protecting th* Bank.

This, of course, has been designed with a view to prevent rob­ bery by mobs. But Inside the building Ingenious machinery has also been set up to prevent robbery by persons who. by cunning, have gained access to the premises at night, or hy dishonest of­ ficials. The bullion departments are nightly submerged in several feet of water, nnd wherever the money is stored in­ genious alnrms have been fixed up.

West Virginia. The present state of West Virginia was originally und for a long time part of the state of Virginia. The presiden­ tial election la 1860 showed that a majority of the people of Virginia were opposed to seceding from the Union, but when PreaMent Lincoln issued his call for troops a state convention pass­ e-1 an ordinance of secession without waiting for a popular vote. Later it wns ratified by the people of the east­ ern part of Virginia ami repudiated by those of the western part. Thus the secession, or attempted secession of Virginia from the Union led to the separation of West Virginia from old Virginia and the formation of a new state.
