Some time ngo I was wnlking In the
country with a friend, when suddenly
we heard a soft hum high overhead,

bureau bulletin. It took us some time
to find the tiny black speck, which
looked no larger than a gnat, far away

muttered, “to be at that ghastly

It is delightful.
The pure, sweet air at high altitudes
stimulates, like wine, and the world
beneath stretches away ull. round to
the misty horizon, and looks like a
gigantic sunlit map. I expected to
feel giddy, if not airsick, when I first
went up and was amazed at the feel

series of smooth spirals there Is an
uinnzingly strong feeling of “wanting
to go up” again and taste once more
the sweet, fresh air and delightful
thrills of the new world.
“But what a dreadful noise the en
gine must make,” I heard some one
remark the other day.
Apart from the fact that the ears
are covered by a warm leuther flying
cap there is, on the contrary, some
thing very soothing in the even note of
the motor, and after being In the air
for some time it is rather apt to make
one feel sleepy.
