Foulest of Brutal Deeds.
Many brutal acts were committed
by order of the German army cern-
menders, but the foule11. was the de-
liberate destruction of all lace -mak-
ing and embroidery machinery by
which the people of this region made
their living. Nearly every cottage
hod its machine, a delicate and costly
affair awl greatly valued. All the
machines of Selvigny were 51111 ,hod

Science and the War. •
-
The advance of scientific investiga-
tion during the period cf the war line
would
not been more rapid than it `? t
have been under the no7.nnet vendi-
tions_of peace, and in all probability
has been very greatly re't:.rda,l, Many
centres n£ energetic research have
been ovexrun by armies or conge.:ted
with sick and wounded and over-
whelmed with the problem of their
cure. Hundreds of investigators have
been wrenched from their proper
Milks to the performance of duties
trivial in themselves, but of vital and
immediate urgency in this crisis,
Others have already fallen in the tie -
fence of principles far more dear to
them than knowledge. The advance ,
of science has thus been unquestion-
ably retarded. What has indeed been
accelerated, and in very patent ceas-
ure, has been the application of
knowledge, long since garnered and
imperfectly utilized, to the service of
the nations in arms.
Take, for example, the, development
of aviation. Most of us are indeed
aware that mechanical flight had
been achieved before the war, but few
are acquainted with the true history
of its origin, or of the trivial part
Played by war, or the anticipation of
war, in the development of its funda-
mental principles. The problem of
mechanical flight appears to have
been for the first time competently
and scientifically approached by
Leonardo eta Vinci, who, besides be-
ing one of the greatest painters, one
of the greatest sculptors, one of the
greatest architects and one of the
greatest anatomists of liis epoch, was
one of the greatest engineers which
his century produced. It was be who
w ace of

fi
the angle of the wing or plane In de-
termining the direction of motion.
Practical applbeution of the theor-
etical prineiples which he discovered
was of course impossible at that time
for lack of Mechanical motive power.
The next and final fundamental
step in the solution of the problem
was taken by Langley, late secretary
of the Smithsonian Institute, who was
the first to discover the dependence
of the buoyancy of the air upon the
speed with w5hdcll the planes move
through it, The fundamental laws
having been elucidated, and adequate
motive -power rendered nvaiiable by
the development of the automobile in-
dnstsy, the aer•oplanewe-s not merely
a logical but a necessary outcome. As
a matter of feel, the first aeroplane
was built by Langley in 1003 and suc-
cessfully flown by Curtiss in 1.014.
Meanwhile Bleriot and the Wright
heathers had built and flown aero-
plutee constructed in accordance with
the fundaunelal principles laid down.
