the so'na Of 'Sit. 'Andrew for the 'honor
they had conferred upon him. He

but .waa Of Scotch parentage. ]While
yet a boy he '•hod mastered the Ldw,

able to understand the litenature of
the country. The first books that he
read 'were the lives of. Wallace and
Rance, the :Sc'otc'h Worthies, Bs nn'•s
!poe'm's and the Bible -beaks dear to
every S'co'tsman. 'These gave his
young mind a bias • 'which bore fruit
in ,after days. The result was that he
'bad a great desire to •see a 'country
r i elf
which 'he had hosed and read so
much, consequently in the ball of
1I::1, 'when his health 'broke down,
he gave tip practice and sailed for
S!odtland. He ,had been absent .eight
nnanths, six of which were spent in
"the grey metropolis 'of the North,"
the most 'ro•manticcity he ever was
in. 'As a seat •af learning it well de-
s'enved the name of the "Modern
'Athens." He would not detain 'then
with •a description of "Scotia's darl-
ing scat" as no doubt ,most df his
audience knew more about Edinburgh
than he himsellf did; suffice to say he
went' for bea'Ulth and he got it. He 'got
knowledge too, wihich the could not
have got elsewhere, He wished to
study the characteristics of the people
eend thephilosophy, so to speak, of
•.ilcottis'h history.' With this view the
madeexcursions in va'ri'ous directions
through the land df "'t'h'e mountain
and the flood." He thengave a hum-
m'in'g acco'unt of his Higlhla'n'd trip,
desoribed and named the places and
Sceneshe•had. visited. Amongst the
characteristic's of the people with
M''holin he conversed was their 'l'ove, of
country and the pride they experi-
enlced when people from other 'fails,
like .h'imiself, adlmire•d < its incontpar-
able scenery. ;I He spoke of their ,re-
ispect for the Sabbath .day -their 'eev-
erence for 'the' name of the !Creator -
their :hon'e'sty and trutdl'tullnes's as .a
people -their love of liberty and ad-
herence to Ifrce ,institutions. He then
made a !humorous • 'allusion to the fact
that no nat'iv'e born 'Scotsman had
ever 'been canonized as a saint -'they
hard to (borrow. on,e 'from, the 'T'e'ws.
He told this, to lam old ;Sco'tswio!men
who replied that they "had a man in
SS'ooeland once ,wh'0 wlas worth a 'b'ak-
er's 'dozen o' 'ye'lp gains ---John 'Knox;
the 'founder o''am 1p;arish sc'hules."

served It ,too. No 'living man, how-

people of !Scotland as the "people's'

('Cheers.) He related on anecdote of
an •elector in Midlothian,'Who said he.
(believed that "William 'Ewart Glad-
stone was the best man. the 'wage' had

spoke of the Iphilo'soplhy of Scot-
tish history which the said had gone
!far, to Fprm the 'Sco'ttish character and
had contributed largely to make
(Scotsmen and their 'descendants What
they are to -day. The 'ancient 'Caledon-
ians ,were a noble, brave, warlike race
when the Romans ifirst made their de-
scent 'up'oa ithe Island. It only re-
quired' ,the power o:f education add
the blessings of 'Oliristian'ity to trans-

collect !(he said) that the Romans
who carried their' co'nquering eagles
to the remotest corner :of :the earth
'failed to subdue our (hardy ancestors
and were constrained to build 'walls
at different +ti'me's for the purpose of
'preventing the warlike incu'rs'ion s of
an unconquered and xm'conlgaerable
race. There certainly was the raw
material here out ,of ;which Ito snake
the free, independent, liberty - loving
'nation 'our rude ancestors afterwards
became. Then 'the (physical geography
of the country played' a most im-
portant pert in'forming 'the character
of the people. 'Sootland was a l'an'd
•of lofty Im'ountaie;s, deep•.glen's, broad
inc'hs, rapid rivers, da'shinlg cataracts,
impe.nebrable mists,and sublime
storms. Was this a land to .nurture a

Carrying within its fuselage Ian air-
tight ca'b'in shaped alike a'metal cap-
sule, a silver -white monoplane soared
into the air near' Paris, Finance, a few
days ago. Built ,secretly 'behind docked
doors et the Farman plant, it is the
'ibte t entrant in an international race
to conquer the'.stratoslplhere-the thin
air ten miles above ehe's•urface o'f the
,surface of the earth.
!Shortly before that, W
oicmei at the
]Junkers' factory, 'Dessau, Germany,
had completed a s'brange machine with
a Meader body and an enormous s'ee-
enteeh-'foot propeller, also designed to
fy in the stratosphere. Its prelinttn'ary
low -altitu'd'e tests cb4tapielted, it is now
;poised waiting pierlfedt weather for its
first dash to the upper levels of the.
gky.
IA third machine, a huge monoplane
'with" wings of variable area designed
by the French engineer, .M, Guenchais,
is receiving 'its finishing 'touches as
this is written. 'Th'i's craft, its inventor'
'predicts, will be able to climibb to an
e
a tutu
d or ten melee i vile forty tY minute s.
Within the next few weeks one or
ndore of these p'lane's may blaze -a trail
into the rarefied air above th'e 50,000
foot 'level. I.n this region of bitter cold
an'd steady winds, aeron'a'uti'c'al author-
ities agree, l'ie the airways nt the fat
urs'Storm's, rain, fag, snow, sleet,
lightning and shifting winds that men-
ace flyers in the present airways are
all left behind' in the .stratasplhere, that
nty!steri'ous outer shell of the earth's
atmosphere which nn heavier-thanaair
craft has penetrated.
What will these pol'ots' find when
they reach the top of th'e sky? Data
collected by means of sounding bal-
loons indicate that at different level's
at the stratosphere swift `tra'de+winds'
blow Continually frond different p'oin'ts
at the 'canvass and ,provide 'tall wi'nd's'
for planes heading in any direction.'
!Miles above the highest clouds, the
thin -air • ships will race through clear
air, aided by favoring win'd's and uni-
form weather.
'Guiding his machine from an air-
tight cabin, the pilot 'will navigate by
stars that s'hine d'ay and n'i'ght, .in a
.b'lueab'lack akjr. We see the stars dis-
appear and the sky turnlight blue in
daytime because we look upward
through a haze Of reflected sunlight.
In the ,strato'sp'here, above this 'haze,
the sky is always black, the stare
.sh'i'ne cont'inu'ally and the stun give's off
the harsh glare Of a se'archligh't.
Favoring winds and the thinness of
the air will make possible tremendous
s'peeds. Engineers predict the Farman
plane may rush be'neaththe jet black
'sky at 400 miles an hour; !favoring
winds may add another 100 miles.
